DEERC 1:14 Fast Brushless RC Car for Adults, Max 46+ mph Off-Road Truck, 2 * 3S Lipo 4WD Waterproof, 7 Lighting Modes High Speed Remote Control, All Terrain Truggy for Snow, Sand & Mud

I brought this car for myself but gave it to my son with it being on 3s I knew he would like it better then me. Very easy to operate with the remote , good build quality, very fast, battery life you have two. I bought two more so it would last even longer. Wish it had alittle bit bigger tires for this design.

I'll admit it - I haven't been too much in the RC car/truck hobby side of things for some years. But I still have my Losi 1/10 scale stuff to pull out sometime, maybe...So I was immediately struck by all of the trick goodies you are getting with RC trucks these days, especially this little, less expensive 1/14 scale unit. Metal coil over shocks, ESC with built in cooling fan, brushless motor, metal dogbones, an extra set of wheels with tires, some replacement parts, an extra battery pack, front and ground effects lights - all the extra parts we used to have to buy before you really got your car/truck ready to put onto the road or track.The transmitter almost feels like an empty plastic shell, but actually starts feeling better when you install the batteries. And the charger... well it they had to save money somewhere. So plan on getting a real RC hobby charger - they aren't all that expensive and will make your RC life that much easier. Plus they take care of your batteries, and if you need to purchase replacement batteries less often, the charger you buy will pay for itself pretty quick.All in all a very positive experience out of the box. Easy to trim for steering and to get going. It is, however, definitely biased towards SPEED. I'll have to play with throttle trims (or maybe even read the manual!) to figure out how to tune it a in a little less of an 'explosive acceleration' mode. And many of you folks will want to do that too because regardless of the quality of components, a car like this running full speed into a wall, curb or other immovable object will do some damage (and you may not get all of the spare parts you need to get 'back onto the road'). So for those who might receive this as a gift and not have too much RC car experience yet - tune it back at first and have them get a longer term relationship with their gift.

This little basher is crazy fast for it's size! It is extremely tough and durable too. The body is a little fragile, but the chassis, suspension, control arms, and driveline are tough as nails. The car comes with extra control arms, which is a huge bonus because if you drive it like you stole it... you're bound to snap one off. They supply not one, but Two hobby grade 3S batteries with deans connectors. It also comes with a usb style charger, but a hobby grade charger will definitely be beneficial to get a faster and more balanced charge. The car is super fast right out of the box, but the tires compound is not the greatest. They are a harder compound and have very poor traction. The lights are pretty cool, being that you can control the headlight and underglow separately with several colors to choose from. The headlight gives you a great visual of its orientation as it is rips towards you. I especially like the fact that the lights flash red as you reach the voltage cutoff, so you can bring it in and not drain the battery too far. I would highly recommend this car, and recommend seeking a different tire for the streets. The transmitter is comfortable in the hand and the controls are easy to use, although the foam on the steering control is loose and slides around on the wheel. Overall, I am highly impressed with DEERC for this one.

Bought as a Christmas gift. He loved it

This car rips! I've literally purchased nearly all $100-200 RC cars/trucks from Amazon (something like 15!) and I always need to return them because they don't bash well (they break relatively easily) or don't have the break-neck speed I desire. This car is *extremely* fast, and although others have commented that the steering is "wonky"--that's false, it just takes practice with such an extremely fast car, promise. The steering range is off the hook--you can run straight crazy fast and you can do extremely radical drifts. I've been bashing it for a few days and so far it holds up well, despite more plastic pieces that I'd usually avoid. The car has taken some very hard hits and hasn't broken, where other cars certainly would break.. Overall, very impressed with the speed, steering, drift ability, launch ability and (so far) durability. This car is just straight "*fun*. Highly recommend for those who want to live on the edge! (Plus the 7 or so undercarriage LED lights are absolutely cool--makes driving at night sweet. Long battery time too.
