    Yes yes I know... speed testing it on block paving was not great... I may have got an extra 1 MPH on a smooth surface lol. This one looks similar.. but even cheaper (at the moment its $15): www.banggood.com/custlink/3GDhzcgVrt

    This thing cost more than anyone would realize!
    I bought one from Walmart last fall, and it started up my rc addiction again....and it's worse this time! Since the time I got this, I've accumulated 11 additional vehicles, which includes: Arrma Granite, Slash Ultimate, Redcat Gen8V2, Axial Wrangler JLU, Traxxas TRX4 Defender.
    See how costly that $15 toy had become! Lol

      That's cool! I got into RC cars this year thanks to cheap RC cars (mainly from Revell and Carrera), including the Revell Flic Flac, which is similar to this car. I now own four WLToys cars and an Axial 1:24. Arrma Typhon next year maybe!

    Gotta admit, I stitched the rear body mount around to give that rear spring some actual "suspension" and it changed the game on this lil rig !!!

    I bought one of these at Wal-Mart. The one I bought came with a ramp. It has the same remote and lo/hi speed option.
    I removed the stock 70mah battery (upgraded it to a Lipo 200mah) and upgraded the motor from an old drone I had. It has an extended body and higher back tires as well. It has improved the speed significantly. I think it almost doubled the speed.

    I actually bought mines a few weeks ago. I saw it at Walmart for $15 honestly the best $15 I’ve ever spent. And there’s even a bigger version that’s $30. It goes up to 20 mph it’s essentially the same thing but it looks a lot more like the classic rc buggy with those flat rc buggy wheels and everything. And the big one has proportional steering.

I bought my kids each one for Christmas. They are much better, since you can actually control them LoL. $24 CDN.

    Bloody hell. A top speed run that increased mass by twice due to the added gps that also functioned as a brick on top of the vehicle, over a cobblestone road that wasn’t smooth in any way. And you only achieved 16-17mph. Big surprise. Just an FYI several other reviewers turned 23+mph top speeds on this with the proper conditions (smooth surface, radar gun, full charge on batt).

      Hey, I was thinking on doing the same for my channel. I have a few 1/32 Tamiya cars (4wd track cars) which I got proportional steering on them with a Tamiya Steering kit + small rc heli servo + esc + dsm receiver. But the all-up cost quickly goes up to 80$ with these electronics, so I’m hesitant if it’s even worth it for 2wd. At least the Tamiya 1/32 are 4wd which are kinda niche after rc conversion.

    yeah these little trucks are awesome. i think they are epic for learning how to use throttle control for steering. doing 180s and 360s ... its not the best outside on rocks in grass uneven ground is not the best for it... but on smoother surfaces driveway undamaged concrete or indoors its it great ... its awesome on wood floors ... my CAT LOVES THIS THING!!! the only down side to the design is first off the steering could be more controlled... its just click steering... the wheels need to be removable... because hair gets caught in the axel ... and its can be difficult to remove ... i used a serrated knife and cut at the hair until i can work it out... it is easy to take apart completely. the motor gets hair in it so its good that its relatively easy to disassemble.my controller did break that was a bummer ... i think one way they could make it better is to give it a removable battery that maybe stores in the body or cockpit of the vehicle... that and the removeable wheels.
    i tried bigger cars but my cat did not like it ... it was scared... so that is one thing about the micro car.

    Ha even though different branding it's still called Soul Desert 2 that's funny lol. Yup at Walmart its called Power Craze on the box and says 17mph, I paid 15 USD for mine in store. Also bought the Power Craze Dune 24 for $30. The Dune has a much better controller, with proportional throttle AND steering. The Dune also has taillights and turn signals and comes with an extra set of "softer" tires. There's some good cheap fun to be had with the Dune 24

    This is just a rebranded version i bought from bangood for 13 dollars like a year ago. they even have a buggy version with foam tires thats even faster, and the suspension works much better on the buggy.

    Also a lot of people are talking about him I didn't realize that I guess we were one of the first ones of the trend I will tell you one thing they have a low and high gear and they are fast as hell I drove them through grass that was a couple inches thick I jumped them off of a set of steps that's about 2 ft tall these things handle quite a bit of abuse but the motors end up burning out because of how much speed they get I'm guessing they get overheated that and the wires are very thin so they we're out and snap very easily but for $15 you can't beat it it has proportional steering and throttle which is crazy to me this is the best RC car you're ever going to get at Walmart or other retail stores that carry it

    I have the same little RC car and we're to have fun with it it took it to your local skatepark it does excellent there rips around I can do rail grinds flips off the top of the ramps this little things so much fun at the skatepark. Ask for you the option that you bought for $29? The link that you gave us for eBay, only takes it to the first page of eBay does not take you to the car that you bought for $29 so it was a nice effort to link it but it doesn't link it thanks anyways
