Fast, Fun, durable, and a Good Price (read this if you are new to RC cars)

Fun, fast, tough, large, and good value. I'll try to write this review for people who may or may not be entirely familiar with hobby grade RC cars and answer as many questions as I can think of. Had it for over a month, played with it probably 30 times already and it's great. I did get upgraded batteries for more run time and power, but even with the included battery it's still a very fast car. The included battery lasts around 20 minutes or so, and with the 5000mah ones I bought I get close to 45 minutes, running it hard. Remember: if you get larger batteries you have to rebuild the battery tray to accommodate it, some people don't seem to get that part. But it will absolutely fit a 5000mah lipo pack after some easy rebuilding (all the needed parts for this are included by the way). I like how the throttle trim is variable from 0-100 percent, some cars only have a switch for 70% or 100% power. Honestly most of the time I keep the throttle trim at 50 percent because it's still really fast at that setting; and more controllable off road. The variable throttle trim means this is also a great RC car for beginners or little kids, you can cut the throttle way back in order to get a feel of how to control it properly. Then slowly up the trim to increase the speed. By the way, the speed control is proportional, good range on the controller trigger so there's great throttle control there too. Squeeze the trigger a little, and it goes slowly, squeeze it fully, and you're at full throttle. Same goes for the turning, you turn the knob a little and the wheels turn a little; turn it all the way, the wheels turn a lot. There's also a good steering trim too, but I just keep it at 100. Steering is really tight for the size tires it comes with and the steering servo works well. The brushless motor is really powerful, you can do a 4 wheel burnout on asphalt and concrete and donuts all day long on gravel. The tires it comes with are super grippy, great for off-roading, but almost too grippy for concrete and pavement lol, you will flip it at high speeds on smooth surfaces if you turn too sharp. I recommend putting the wheelie bar it comes with on the back. The included tires seem to be durable, the tread is still great on them even after a lot of play. Shocks are pretty good, they do their job but could be a little stiffer. Still fine though. The chassis is one single chunk of aluminum and is solid, and modular, leaving lots of options for upgrades. It's not going anywhere so you don't have to worry about hitting the underside, it can handle it. The on/off switch is located in a very accessible area on the top side of the chassis so you don't have to worry about hitting the button off of anything like you do when they're mounted on the underside. The drive train is great, able to easily handle the torque the stock motor pumps out, I think you can upgrade the motor and the esc but they're more than adequate for me. The 4 wheel drive system is awesome and provides plenty of traction. The differential(s) allow for some very tight turning radius. Most of the stock parts like the motor mounts, suspension arms, etc, are thick plastic and so far they've all held up great. There are aluminum upgraded parts available if you need/want them for performance or esthetics. Maybe I'll upgrade them in the future but for now I'm happy with them. Range is great, I've stood at one end of a football field and drove it to the other side and back. No delay and no dropped connection. I've driven it through powdery snow, through wet slush, through thick mud, over gravel at top speed, through the woods with thick leaf cover and branches, on grassy lawns, through high grass, through dry and wet sand, on a couple frozen ponds, standing water, and lots and lots off serious off roading in the moutains where I live, it's able to climb extremely uneven and rocky terrain without trouble. It'll climb steep hills no problem, plenty of power to do so. It isn't a true rock crawler but it's very capable off road. The electronics seem to truly be water resistant, like I said, I've had it out running in wet conditions many times with no issues. In fact, the way I clean it after getting it muddy is to take it inside, remove the battery, and literally wash it off with my shower wand, inside and out. No issues there either. The only thing you need to be careful of is the body shell, and a couple of other reviews have said this as well, but the material the body is made of seems to be a little brittle. I've flipped it at full speed many times and it held up just fine, it has a reinforced roll cage on the top parts of the shell and they do their job, they'll scratch because they're plastic, but who cares? That being said; the rest of the shell is thin plastic, and if you slam it into something (or flip it at high speeds end over end like I did) there's a decent chance it'll break or at least crack. That's what happened to me. Luckily it didn't shatter into pieces so I was able to superglue and then epoxy the body together easily enough. I recommend doing what I did afterwards and line the underside of the body shell with thick duct tape to help stiffen it up and increase durability. Now it seems much stronger. But if you don't want to do all that you can just buy a replacement for like 40 bucks. Don't use foil tape like I was going to because it might interfere with the radio signal. Probably not but it could due to the metal in the tape. Cloth duct tape is strong and allows radio waves to pass through. For the price I definitely recommend buying this if you're looking for a fun RC truck. I've had nitro RC cars before and this is just as fast, and much easier to work with. I'm not an expert on RC cars but I've loved Radio controlled vehicles my whole life , so I've gone through my fair share of them. This one is the best one I've had so far, and it was under 200 dollars. ****Edit After Having it for nearly 4 months**** Took it out and bashed it all over the place through various terrains and conditions. I put probably 150 battery charges through it. It's held up pretty good. Just a few things that happened. I broke the body shell even more, but I just keep fixing it with duct tape and epoxy. I kind of like how it looks lol and don't even get mad if it breaks more. It also makes me not really care how hard I bash it around. The one rear wheel shaft did snap after taking a tumble at full speed, easy fix and cheap. The differential cup slots on the rear that lock the dog bone in are starting to get a little worn and are becoming egg shaped, it still runs fine though, I'm going to order more for when they eventually need replaced. The tires are still holding up great, lots of tread left so that's nice. The pinion gear (the one that's attached directly to the motor) that was originally installed came loose and wore itself down pretty badly, even to the point where the lock screw was mangled. But thankfully it uses a fairly standardized 48p size pinion gear. I just bought a multipack of pinion gears for like 11 dollars off Amazon. It also includes an extra pinion gear with higher teeth count for higher top speed, I like lower teeth count for more torque though. But you do have a spare if needed. I recommend putting some threadlock on the lock screw and on the motor shaft to hold it in place, you can remove the part with some heat in the future if you need to. The spur gear that mates to the pinion is holding up just fine. The battery velcro straps both broke at the weld point but I just glued them together with super glue and duct tape. They still do their job. The power button is held on with double sided tape and it came off. I just put a piece of heat resistant, super strength double sided tape and it isn't going anywhere. No biggie. The bearings on the wheels are starting to get a little squeaky, but they've had a lot of dust, water, mud, as well as just normal use on them and they do still work. Probably will need replaced here in a few months. But they're still functional for now. I do think I'm going to upgrade the steering servo with something a little more powerful, but the included one is still working normally. I just like faster servos for steering. And I think I'm going to replace the shocks with something stiffer, but again, the included ones are holding up just fine. Apart from the things I mentioned, the important structural components are still good and haven't had any problems. I like this truck so much I bought the upgraded version to have as a backup. I think I might buy one for my daughter since she's been getting into RC cars a lot lately lol. 10/10 would (and will) buy again.

No Better Value for the Money

After trying this out for several days it has lived up to every expectation and more. I will compare it to the DEERC 210E that I purchased previously. They are both brushless bashers that come with a 3S battery, but the 210E is a bit less expensive. That said, what you get for that slightly higher price tag is amazing. Carbon fiber drive rods for each wheel, higher quality shocks, tires, body shell, controller, the works. The controller even has 4 channels so you can add accessories to your truck. And the handling is so clean and smooth it's like a sports car, whereas the 210E felt like a truck, and an overpowered one at that. Not to say the Omni-Terminator has less power, no no no ... this is by far faster than the 210E and has the torque to pop a wheelie on takeoff. But it holds a straight line the whole way, no pulling to one side on max acceleration like I found with the 210E, even over obstacles it still holds its line. And it is tough as they come, I had several bad jumps and bad angles at the ramp that sent the car flipping end over end multiple times with no issues other than an occasional body clip coming lose. I even flipped it on the pavement at full speed, and it slid for several feet before hitting the grass. But it has skid pads on the roof, so they got scuffed up, and the body was fine. Even the side mirrors have held so far. It is a bit front heavy though so getting backflips can be a challenge, it may be easier to do a front flip. And do to the front heavy nature if you are at full speed and slam on the brakes, it is likely to flip forward, so be aware of that. But if you control it right you can get an awesome stoppie. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this monster of an RC truck. I even did some aerial speed tests measuring the time it took to travel a fixed distance and the average of 15 runs, which honestly where all within milliseconds of each other, so super consistent power, came out to 28.4 MPH. I know they say up to 50 MPH under "Optimal" conditions, but my runs were as it came, without doing a thing to the car out of the box. I am sure if I messed with my suspension, gearing, or even a re-lubing the diffs I would get more speed, but I can't see why I need it. As it sits now, at top speed it is pretty much a dragster with almost no ability to turn without losing control. So, unless I am planning on racing it, 28 MPH is more than enough to shock my neighbors and get sick jumps.

Don't even think about it any further.Trust me, get it.Thank me later

They need to put more stars up there for products like this. Because this is the best RC Truck that you can buy on here for anywhere near $200, it handles better than my traxxas hoss, It's the perfect size. Not too big. Not too small and it's super fast and you can just look at every single component on this beast and tell it's built with superb quality. I've bought r c trucks in this price range, and ones that cost more than this one and none of them are anywhere near the same level of quality as this truck, deerc, hypergo etc. comes nowhere near this in quality, trust me Nowhere near it. They're not even in the same ballpark. The way it's packaged all the things that come with it, i mean the owner's manual is a full sheet of paper sized, you can tell by the how the body feels, how the chassis' is aluminum fancy design engraved on the bottom. It just looks nice, real nice, you can buy all the upgrades you want on their site and seems to be that their primary focus on off-road category is this truck, that's what it looks like to me. They put Top Notch quality in this build, It's not just some random design that they're testing out and using the consumers to do so, nah, they put their focus on this truck for sure, everything about how it's built screams professional quality, I can't exert this enough, how absolutely blown away i am by this deal because, I wasn't expecting this much quality to be honest, I promise you, if you're thinking about getting one, and you don't get this one, You made a mistake, buddy, whatever you bought, send it back and get this. it's even got oil in the shocks right out of the box (good shocks too), designed alloy chassis that you could tell is a rigid power housing if you're on the fence, get off it, this is it right here,Get it thank me later.....

Darn good trucky for the money.

This is a beast of a trucky. It is a dirt and asphalt monster. Heavy, strong, and fast. I have had DC cars for many many years. Bought a jeep like, inexpensive RC a few years ago and I was hooked again. Enjoyed the heck out of that and was looking for another, but they have gotten a bit expensive for what they are. Saw a 1/14 scale (mini infraction) at a great price and bought it. It is amazing. Then saw and read about this one. 1/10 scale is my favorite size. This was on sale so scooped it up and let me tell you this is a beast. Fast on 2s batteries, fairly easy to drive. Durable, and well constructed. Remote works well enough, motors are solid performers and if your into it, you can modify just about everything on this turcky. It plays well in the dirt and on road, but is best suited to loose soil (like a baseball diamond). Just the right amount of slip, and speed. The road will tear up your tires but this thing goes so fast on the road that it will blow your mind. I haven't smashed it into anything yet, but it seems very strong and able to take a beating if you like bashing your rc's. This is NOT a toy so I would not let little kids play with it as it can be a weapon if your not careful. I'd say it is for ages 14 and above, but that is a you decision to make. You know your kids and how responsive they are. Overall: i highly recommend this trucky and Rlaarlo as a company. They make very good, easy to modify, fast RCs at a good price if you find them.on sale. This is a very good large size pro grade RC that right out of the box will make you very happy to own and play with.
