WLtoys RC Cars 1/12 Scale 2.4G 4WD High Speed Electric All Terrain Off-Road Rock Crawler Climbing Buggy RTR for Kids and Adults

Well I love the look!!! Love the compact design 4x4 , rear solid axle, oh and the spare tire great touch, the lights were the buying point for me,over all design is unique!!! Battery could be a Lopo but that would bust up the price, maybe an upgrade for later???Cons are the body panels aren’t a whole piece, so if any upgrades I want to do will take a while to install, could use a smaller motor but this one is ok,I had to get a second one sent out to me because my first car wouldn’t do anything except turn the front wheels!! But the customer service was great.It was for an anniversary gift to a buddy of mine! Only reason for not rating performance and durability is because I have driven it.

After buying many of the toy grade RC cars and having them brake in the first few hours of play, I decided to get this one for my son for Christmas. The packaging is very cheap, but I can't say that for the vehicle itself. It is assembled very well and has impressed me quite a bit.Pros:1. looks great2. can replace parts if they break2. 4x4 and can go anywhere3. metal gears in Differentials4. comes with battery and charger5. durable and water resistant6.12mm hexes so aftermarket wheels will fitCons:1. Plastics are a bit soft, so easy to strip screws2. Differentials have lubrication, but not much. fill them up with your choice of Diff oil/grease3. battery, while powerful, only lasts around 7-10 minutes...... if you are lucky4. I haven't checked yet, but the shocks feel like they could use some oil.I'd recommend this car to anyone who is even remotely interested in the RC hobby. There are a couple things to do right away like upgrade the battery to a higher capacity 2 cell shorty pack and fill the diffs and shocks with grease/oil, but it is a great entry way into a very fun hobby.

This thing is great! Super fast ! 4wd works great waterproof is on point. Decently built comes as advertised. If you don't have a rc axle wrench I suggest buying one this one comes with a plastic one that strips out right away ! Also HIGHLY RECOMMEND BUYING AN EXTRA BATTERY!!!!! battery life is decent depending on use. Driven full throttle you've got about 15 minutes. Slow " trail ridding" you can get roughly 30 min depending on terrain. I had no issues with mine out of the box. Great toy for anyone. If you are buying for a small child keep in mind it is really fast !

I'll start saying don't buy it if you don't like to work on your rc cars.- The rear drive shaft broke within 5 uses, the problem is that the "upgraded" aluminium shafts I Bought lasted less than the original.I decided to bought the aluminium shafts again but modify them, that's the only solution I found.- if you want to use this rc buggy on the sand you should put some grease into the steering system (not the servo) otherwise it will get stucked.Apart from this mentioned before I think it is the best rc truck under $200.The battery lasts about 10 minutes.I personally really enjoy using it.

Working on the desert racer is heady and fun. I got it for my 5 year old after a lot of reasearch and it holds up! Not only is it tough but it’s easily customizable! I’ve added a new steering servo and even added a 4000 mah battery on the back and it takes all the jumps and abuse my 5 yo can throw at it! We’ve had it for a year and it’s out every weekend jumping our ramp and going on trail hikes! I haven’t had to replace a single suspension part on it even with the added weight! My gps hiking tracker says it’s done close to 60 miles and the only real replacement needed has been tires and the rear diff! I have about 19 off-roader rc’s including some $500 ones and it’s no lie that this is the favorite for me and my son!

Within a day, the front wheels were not tracking properly although we were adjusting the trim screw. That is when we started to try and contact the manufacturer to see what the warranty is because it isnt posted on the amazon site. That was a few weeks ago and they still have not replied.But with a 11 year old boy, they just want to use the car. So we did. We actually bought three different cars from different manufacturers. This car was definitely the fastest. But that being said, has a high center of gravity so it had a tendency to want to flip over.Then within a week the rear wheels stopped working. The driveshaft to them is plastic and has two very small tabs that are supposed to help lock it in. Let me repeat, plastic on the driveline.So figuring that the manufacturer would never reply, I went on line and bought metal parts to change. When I tried to take off the old ones, the set screws on part of their driveline that was metal, were so small and hex head, they immediately stripped. I had to take 20 minutes to drill them out.If the company would have replied, I would have worked with them but it is silent city.Be warned, if you but this car, you are on your own.

I ordered this one because it got here way ahead of the Goolskie XK124 which isn't due to get to my doorstep till next month, maybe so since this one is the predecessor to the XK I figured I'd try it. The XK is a toy, it sounds like a toy, acts like a toy and breaks like a Hobby Grade. The rig may have come broken and I didn't notice it because it was more or less part of the front suspension I'm not savvy with all that so I wont pretend anyway I noticed it sticking up after a few runs so I returned it. I will wait and see how the XK is, I ordered the XK because I have the HBX 209 which is literally brilliant its a 24 scale crawler and thats why I wanted to try the XK so lets see what happens.
