My son is 6 years old and I'm excited to get him into it. I have fond memories of playing with my Nikko Black Thunder RC truck in the early 90's. I recall a toy-store grade buggy I had in the late 80's and enjoyed that as well.
Ok here's my entry lol. I just got into RC this summer for real. I have a WPL-E1 (Such a fun slow couch crawler), then I had an MJX 14209, loved that. Moved onto a Losi Hammer Rey which I sold and have found my Zen. A TRX-4 Defender. I'm way into the slow crawl and tiny scale accessories. Based on the reviews I have seen of this truck I intend on buying one for the two kids who will be coming over. One is my grandson and the other is a wife's friends child. This looks just right for them. Cheap and tough and if it dies a kid-astrophic death so be it. What I am trying to avoid are the over powered wheelie monsters that kids can't steer due to front end lift. This looks pretty planted and would be great for them both.
My mom and my brother and my dad bought it like 2525% each and or more I don’t really know but my brother didn’t like 40 my mom I know my brother did 60% on buying and then my dad and my mom did 40% buying it, but I got it yesterday. I’ve been bashing the crap out of it and it still works Really good too no mistakes no nothing besides like the little like you know what that little steering knob as those little circle things that‘ mark thing on the side and I put the springs all the way down so it’s just loaded
This would make a great birthday gift for my son, we have been building our crawlers as of late and my son who is disabled loves the time we spend building and driving our rc great video and review
I feel the speed is good for young kids and takes a beating, the water test was a bonus I would be afraid of testing myself. I’ve owned nitro cars, way too fast for beginners
Thank you so much for this video. I've been out of the r/c cars for a while I usually went with Traxxas however I wanted a good r/c car to get my 7 year old started in them and this video was a great review. I feel way better about my son's birthday now! Can't wait to get him to the Traxxas level
Hi I'm a new subscriber and what I did recently in the rc hobby was taking a couple of my rc cars the get repaired and upgraded. I'll have a video on the upgrades once there finished.
Might I ask your opinion on the 18859E vs this one? I went on Amazon and saw them both and was curious as to which was better or newer? I did find this one had the water resistant ESC, is the other also water resistant?
They don't sell a lot of 2s 850MAH batteries with Deans. So this is what you need to do. Buy the batteries in the first link. And then buy the adapters in the 2nd link. these batteries will have a Higher C Discharge and will put out some extra power! Batteries: amzn.to/3Z813mU Adapters: amzn.to/4dLnpig
Do you recommend running adapters for the dean's connectors? I got my son an Mjx hyper go with the proprietary battery, but I'm not sure what all you need for adapters in the car as well as charging. It would you end up needing to get a different charger as well? Thanks for the great, objective RC info. Just starting to get into the hobby and my kid is loving it.
If the battery’s has a different plug, than you need to solder on the correct one. But you need to make sure the esc can handle the battery pack. Cell wise
@@WickedRemoteControl It has the same plug. I needed to be more specific. Now it has a ton of torque and spins out. i was wonder if there are any tires or suspension upgrades I could modify? Thanks for your response.
Looks pretty sweet. I am building a Dromida SC4.18 and a wltoys a969 1/18 Short course trucks myself. I have the brushless DT4.18 and the MT4.18 but I want to build a little track at my camp for racing them. I have the bezgar pxtoys one also. And It looks like the Himoto Tyrono or Maverick ionSC is in my near future. I may have a problem. Still looking for a duratrax vendetta and maybe one day I will spend the money on the Latraxx prerunner or better yet the Team Associated SC18. The brushless hsp "caribe" looks pretty sweet. I have a VRX 1/18 chassis on order to make the Dart beetle. keeps me out of trouble. all 1/18 for me!
Some good info to add for the watchers is that deans plugs are rated for 7.4 volts and if you use a 3 cell Lipo it may burn up the plug and or electronics.
I don't think you understand how a current circuit works lol, I mean no offense. When you more up in volts its less amps, amps is what burn up things. A plug will never just burn up lol. Why do you think your house breakers run 20amps on 120v lol. The only thing that can pull more amps will be the motor from the ESC. ESC will not draw more amps if you don't have a BEC which you won't on these cheap guys the servo isn't drawing more amps. You know the KV/Turns of these motors, 3s is fine lol
Went to an RC racetrack last week with my dad's RC car and was looking to buy one myself in the near future. Maybe also buy one for my girlfriend who went with me so we could race. Do you have a link for the Arma Granite you're talking about? Thanks!
Nice little truck maybe some mods on it would probly make it better. Im excited about modding little rc trucks and just make em faster and better for other rc intusiast. I just got my Traxxas stolen so im pretty much modding all my friends rc or fixing them right now. Great video by the way.
Loved to know there’s a budget option. I had a Team Associated Buggy but lost it in a flood. This looks like something I could attach a GoPro to for fun. 😅
Bonjour moi j'ai le Granite Grom et c'est le pire que j'ai jamais eu il est toujours en panne je crois que le petit camion de ta vidéo est 2 fois meilleur que le Grom. ?
I miss RCing when I was kid. I recently bought this same RC car and love it. But..... My 2 year old toddler took it from me 🫤. If you still have it, sent it my way please 😂

That’s awesome! A great Bobby for any kid to get into! It also teaches some basic mechanical skills. Great for kids!
Looks fun.. I'm sure you'll find someone that will love it !!
Hopefully!

Awesome entry lol!
I’ve had mine for a couple years, beat the crap out of it, and never broke a single thing.
Awesome!!!
My Rc car keeps braking and now it’s in the trash :(
My mom and my brother and my dad bought it like 2525% each and or more I don’t really know but my brother didn’t like 40 my mom I know my brother did 60% on buying and then my dad and my mom did 40% buying it, but I got it yesterday.

I love Rc cars I recently got a new Rc crawler and I love the hobby
That’s awesome!!! What crawler?

Awesome! Good choice
Just getting into rc cars for my son and you did a great job on this video this car was a beast in the rain
Thanks!!! Yeah it really did awesome in the water. Still works to this day
Really excited about this model car looks awesome and fast
It’s pretty fun!
Awesome car my son would love it ❤
Giveaway next week!
Nice! Looks fun for its size and durable of course! Really liking the 4x4 recently.
Awesome! Yes, it was quite durable
Looks like a fun one for my littler kids who aren’t ready for higher speeds just yet.
I mostly fly RC planes, but I do love RC cars. I’ve had that one twice already and I love it!
Awesome! Yes it was a lot of fun!
This would make a great birthday gift for my son, we have been building our crawlers as of late and my son who is disabled loves the time we spend building and driving our rc great video and review
That’s awesome! RC is a great hobby!
This looks fun and I’ve been watching you for a while this is prob my fav from you thanks bye
That’s awesome to hear! I’ll keep that in mind!
i just purchased this i love the review my first rc

Looks pretty good.
Agreed!
That's nice, I would love this. I am new to RC, just getting my Tamiya lunchbox.
Awesome! Tamiyas are a lot of fun!
great content!
I just got a HyperGo. I've spent $1000s in my head already!
It’s a dangerous hobby on the wallet!
I feel the speed is good for young kids and takes a beating, the water test was a bonus I would be afraid of testing myself. I’ve owned nitro cars, way too fast for beginners
Haha the rain was a nice surprise. The car still works to this day.

Hi I'm a new subscriber and what I did recently in the rc hobby was taking a couple of my rc cars the get repaired and upgraded. I'll have a video on the upgrades once there finished.
Awesome! Repairing is always fun!
Wooo. Nice video. 👍always on the way inn. Keep up the great content😊
Thanks! I’ll try!
Thinking about getting this, thanks for the detailed review. God bless. Jesus loves you!
You to! Thanks!
I’ve been looking for a fast Rc that can go off road nice video ❤
Also trying to find one that I can take to trips
Awesome! Thanks!
Might I ask your opinion on the 18859E vs this one?
I went on Amazon and saw them both and was curious as to which was better or newer? I did find this one had the water resistant ESC, is the other also water resistant?
To be honest I think they are the same car with a different body
@@WickedRemoteControl Thank you!
No problem!
Can you suggest a better deans connector battery for this exact RC car?? Thank you!
They don't sell a lot of 2s 850MAH batteries with Deans. So this is what you need to do. Buy the batteries in the first link. And then buy the adapters in the 2nd link. these batteries will have a Higher C Discharge and will put out some extra power!

Thanks for the great, objective RC info. Just starting to get into the hobby and my kid is loving it.
Adapters are totally fine! I run the in a lot of my cars so I can easily go from Traxxas to the Arrma cars without buying more battery’s.
I upgraded the battery what should I do to translate that power to the ground now?
If the battery’s has a different plug, than you need to solder on the correct one. But you need to make sure the esc can handle the battery pack. Cell wise

Awesome car I am a beginner n starting out
Nice! It’s a fun one
Rc hare so fun me a was a lumberjack a long time ago, and he broke my back and he switch rc to shainsaw ...Arrma to Huskavarna 😅
I've had a Temu car for a couple of years and like it.
Nice!
Looks like a sweet basher for a small area, have to really look 👀 to find somewhere to bash the Mojave 4s😮!!
Haha indeed!

Thanks I appreciate it! A friend who knows how to fix Rc cars is a good friend!
Loved to know there’s a budget option. I had a Team Associated Buggy but lost it in a flood. This looks like something I could attach a GoPro to for fun. 😅
Absolutely!
I don't know if I missed it but did you run it on 3s??
Unfortunately not. I don’t have a 3s pack that small
Why not just change the terminal connections if they are an issue
You could
How’s the part support on that thing?
There is actually a ton up “upgraded” aluminum parts you can get right now.
Got it on sale for 66 bucks, love it so far
EPIC!
This one or Arma big rock RC Car?
Arema big rock would be faster and more durable and more after market parts. If you can afford it I’d do the Arrma
My kids is getting this for birthday hope it holds up
Nice!
I just bought this, it’s arriving in a couple days for my 5yo. His Target Bigfoot broke.
Nice!!!
Uf i win thank you you man i ser your vídeos from spain every Day
That’s awesome! I’m on the process of picking the winner now!
@@WickedRemoteControlWell, remember me at the time to pick one. Thank you bro
How many people can race together with this model? I got six kids.
That should not be a problem. It’s 2.4ghz so in theory you could have hundreds of people.
yeah yeah yeah
i have one i am 57 i love rc car i had gas rc car my first car a turbo bandit
Nice!
Bonjour moi j'ai le Granite Grom et c'est le pire que j'ai jamais eu il est toujours en panne je crois que le petit camion de ta vidéo est 2 fois meilleur que le Grom. ?

Hi
Hello
I am new here I dont know much😅😅
Hahaha good to know!
Bro
Hello me
18th scale isn't even real. 16 scale barely is.
Just a dream
When you need parts, you just buy another.
Lol seems wasteful
@WickedRemoteControl it's cheaper, and got lots of spares. Ask my son. 😌🤣
I miss RCing when I was kid. I recently bought this same RC car and love it. But..... My 2 year old toddler took it from me 🫤. If you still have it, sent it my way please 😂
Hha you’re gonna have to get one for Christmas!
