ZHENDUO Classic Remote Control Toy Car - Radio Controlled Off-Road RC Car - 70+KMH - 1/18 Scale (A959-B)

This toy is stupid fast. It's a blast to play with and surprisingly durable.Pros- replacement parts are easy to find and this is very upgradeable. It has full range steering with a servo that was better than expected. Once I filled the shocks with 50 wt oil it handled rough terrain surprisingly wellCons- the one I received the differentials were poorly assembled causing damage(screws were over tightened damaging the outer gear). I managed to make it drivable with a temperory repair and am waiting on replacement parts for it. The biggest problems are the steering assembly and bearings cause a surprising amount of play that makes this hard to control at full speed. Tightening the screws and wheel nuts improves this. The wheels are 7mm hex and are too small to allow this to run in taller grass. But you can again upgrade this and find replacements. (You will after two weeks of moderate use I had to rotate tires as the back ones were bald from all the drifting).Overall I would buy this again and I'll probably continue upgrading this as parts wear out and break.Update*The seller sent me a new Differential. Before installing it I made sure everything was operating smoothly and it wasn't over tightened. Works great now.Also I suggest not using rechargeable batteries in the transmitter as the decreased voltage results in decreased rangeI noticed someone said somthing about the vehicle just stopping. This car does have the tendency to get small rocks and debries in the gear system that is easy enough to clean out. Also if the voltage drops to low the ESC shuts the motor off to keep your LIPO healthy. Restarting the car will allow it to run again but will damage your battery. Just today I crashed this at full speed causing it to cartwheel for approximently 150 ft (across a street and all the way up to someones house across their lawn up a small hill. The car drove away undamaged.This car while it has a lot of little things that could stand to be improved, It is an amazing deal at $89.00

So this little car is fast! I mean it. My complex is barely big enough to open it up and go full throttle. One thing is that with how small it is the smallest loosnes in the wheels can make it go off course and setting the steering trim is a constant.I am about to purchase some upgrades for it to go all aluminum with the chassis, drive train and metal gears as well as upgrade the shocks and shock towers. Probably going to spend more on upgrades than the car cost initially but I think it’s worth is for how fast it is.

Very fast car according to my son. But you have to be careful my son managed to brake something in it I have to check what it is.

Honestly i didnt expect much from a 80$ 1/18 scale RC but i was BLOWN AWAY when i found out it goes faster with a Brushed motor than my 1/10 scale AMP DB brushless! It is well worth the money (only upgrade i can see on it is you can put oil in shocks to make it less bouncy) but i barly notice the difference.
