Hosim 1:14 RC Car for Adults, 52+ KMH High Speed RC Truck, 4X4 Fast Remote Control Car All Terrain Off Road RC Buggy Hobby Grade Large Size Racing Toys Gift Rc Monster Trucks

I bought this for my 8 year old (a responsible 8 year old) to be able to play with while I run my high end RC trail truck. This is his first RC truck and I wanted something that I could afford to replace if it got tore up but there doesn't seem to be any need for that. The car is quick and has many replaceable and repairable parts that would lend itself to a more expensive model. I love the fact the radio (hand controller) has adjustable trim knobs that allow me to dial back the top speed and adjust the steering, again feeling like a much costlier unit.Battery: There are 2 included batteries with a USB A compatible charging cord.. Each battery lasts about 20 min of hard wide open running which is plenty for him . It might be a little short for someone who wants to run with higher end trail trucks but as a short range beater they are fine. Each battery has LED charge indicators which are nice . Charging takes 2 hours per battery on a 2.1a USB port.The Bad: The battery hold down bracket is not well constructed at the hinge. I reinforced the hinge with a little bit of JB weld after the plastic failed twice. Full disclosure, I did not contact the manufacturer about this as it was pretty easy for me to just take care of so I don't know what they would say about it.The gears are quite noisy. I need to tear apart the gearsets and see if they need additional lube (which honestly is common to even the higher end units).The good: My boy loves it, and it has held up to 2 months of regular use and even minor abuse. He doesn't intentionally try to tear it up but it hits things, flips of things and bounces back every time. The radio feels great and seems to have a good range.All in all this is a great little car especially if you can grab it on sale like I did!

This is my first hobby grade RC car, and also my first 1:10 scale and so far I gotta say I love it! I had bought a 1:18 scale, and it kept flipping over on it's top which was super annoying for someone who is disabled and has a sizeable surgical hernia. On top of that, one of the wheels quit engaging so it became a three wheel drive. I returned that one and after doing some research, I decided to give this X07W a shot and I'm so glad I did! This thing is super quick! I have to turn the throttle trim down a bit to control it better! LOL! Speaking of control, the oil filled shocks make a night and day difference from what I'm use to! The body retaining clips even come with a rubber clip holder that is attached to the body which is really nice! The instructions manual failed to explain some of the transmitter controls, but a quick call to HOSIM customer service resolved that! Friendly service rep as well! And the first company I have came across with a textable customer service! I have so much fun with this rig that I wish it came with two battery chargers... But for less than ten bucks, I just ordered my second! I have a rough front yard that is mostly moss and dirt, and a large gravel driveway that I run this rig in and it isn't bothered by the rough terrain in the least! I've not timed it so I could be wrong, but it feels like each battery lasts longer than the expected twenty minutes of run time. If you are an amateur like me looking for a great, fun place to start in the on land RC world, I highly recommend you start here! I have flipped this rig a few times over on it's top and it isn't phased in the least! It's built tough! The front of the shell (body) did crack, but not real bad. A little contact cement on the inside of the shell over the crack fixed it nicely. At first it seemed a bit pricey, but after extensive research I really couldn't beat the value. The fan on the ECM, oil filled shocks, rubber tires, light weight and tough body, brushless motor, metal gears and parts and all wheel drive all make the money spent totally worth it! I love how the light bar on the front blinks when the battery is getting ready to die! It gives you roughly a minute of time before the car stops allowing you to prepare for it where as a lot of RC toys just die with no warning. I do wish the foam surrounding the tire on the transmitter was a little more secure. It tends to pull halfway off sometimes during driving the car. A minor annoyance. Only other downside I can state is that I wish the drag links for the front wheels were adjustable. Looking straight down at the car from the top, the front wheels seem toed out a bit. My O.C.D. wants them completely straight. LOL! Overall, super happy with this rig!

Great little starter car, fast enough to do jumps, very durable, proportional controls and awesome light combos to boot. Love the ground effects. Good for anyone into or starting the RC life, at price that is pretty forgiving!

The media could not be loaded. Loving this Hosim X07W. I have another standard X07 and this X07W is great to drive. Huge improvements on looks and it drives super nice. It is nimble and has a strong feel to it. I love the new wheels and tires and the new engine design. This model now comes with a helical drivetrain which has been tested and proven. It is all chrome steel and super reliable. These gears are a must for this truck, especially if you plan to run higher performance batteries. Highly recommend this rc truck for anyone looking for a fun truck to rip around and not break the bank for what it can do! It also has a speed control to turn it down for the young ones. I let my son drive it and he loves it as well. Hosim really put effort into this design and development of higher grade materials. Recommend!
