Review: Great 1/16 scale RC. Perfect for a dip into the RC world. - What a great mini RC basher. A fantastic cost friendly introduction to Radio Controlled cars. Gone are the days of the slow RC cars of my childhood. This has a surprising turn of speed which I was very pleasantly surprised at for a car of this size and price. Very responsive and with analogue steering and acceleration. It's perfect as a little cheap dip into whether you want to invest in a bigger, faster more expensive model. Feels premium to hold and is flexible in all the right places to help absorb any impacts. Classed as a hobby grade model and it shows. Spare parts are available for any repairs and would build up your confidence of swapping parts out or upgrading components. Having the option to limit the top speed through the controller is a nice addition if starting out or for a child to get used to controlling it. Battery charges up through the USB adapter in about 2 hours and gives approximately 15 minutes of run time to have fun whizzing around, skidding, jumping and generally having a great time with. Being 4 wheel drive it has excellent grip and the tyres are really good. Definitely a good investment for beginners or anyone who wants to see how these cars have advanced over the years.
Review: Great little car - Bought this for my son's fifth birthday, it's a well built little car that can really get so e speed up. Although it is quite hard to control at full speed but that might be my inexperience. It's does have a speed limiter controll which means I can turn it right down when my son uses it. I would have preferred something a little larger scale but this seemed to be the best in the price range as they seem to go up in price with scale and I don't want to pay too much on his first remote.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome little machine for kids and adults alike
*by A***N on 5 November 2025*

Bought this for my son as he wanted a remote control car and wanted him to have something a bit more special than the run of the mill junk from your average toy store ..... What a great decision, this little monster has brought countless hours of fun , easy to get up and running , battery life is ok get around 20 minutes on average so if you want longer sessions then picking up an extra battery could be an option ,but otherwise no complaints . Really responsive and has good speed , steering is on point and feels like a little powerhouse on dirt and even fairly thick grass. Durability wise this thing has taken a beaten from doing flips on a skate park to making jumps through the woods , and now even the dog likes to join in and play chase with it . My only minor gripe is the pins that hold the shell over the chassis for some reason on mine seem to vanish after a long session, easy enough to replace but just a gripe that they seem to pop out every now and again . But otherwise nothing to complain about and would highly recommend to go for something like this rather than something cheap that's going to end in the bin or broke after a few uses .
