Finally someone who understands how to review RC cars thank you
I ORDERED ONE FOR MY DAUGHTER SO SHE CAN GO OUT RIPPIN AN ROARIN W/ ME WHEN I DRIVE MY VARIOUS RC'S. SUPER COOL. THANKYOU FOR THE GR8 VIDEO MAYN!
how did it go i am thinking about buying one
i really like how the spare tire is usable
Chase Vogl that is a pretty cool feature.
These types of R/C vehicles are great for someone like me that doesn't have time to invest in the expensive ones. I only play with mine a few times a year.
Treva Graham I play with my RCs constantly, but most of them are Walmart muscle cars that I enjoy drifting in my living room. Sometimes, a cheap one is absolutely fine. Enjoy your RC, and don't worry about it being expensive, just so long as you enjoy it. 😎👍
@@officialclownbusiness7788 well said.
All you have to do to stop the rubbing is lift up the plastic thing that goes in the holes in the body for the pins
very cool looking truck with metal parts and ball bearings! that's impressive for the price. looks like a 540 type brushed motor. I'm hoping to get a truck to review soon. It's going to be tough to review drones soon with winter approaching.
Yeah, I have to save a bunch of indoor models to review during winter. haha
that's what I'm hoping to do as well. nanos and ground vehicles.
RD's Drone Reviews de la Universidad
Broke on the first day but now I'm getting a replacement I'll give you guys an update once I get it
howd it go
@@realvoliz broke again had like 3 replacements it’s just a bad brand
The spare tire is really cool, not often that those are useable
The tire rubbing on the body can be fixed by putting duck tape were the tires rub.
cool truck nice review
Awesome review you gave details and said how long the battery lasts
around 20min. I bought another charger and 2 more batterys.
Fantastic review Ryan! ⭐️
Thanks! :)
I actually like it and think that wheelbase is great specially that there is a lot of bodies out there and from inspecting the rx/esc/aux that looks interesting also.
It looks pretty decent for the price, but I think I still prefer my 18th scale Dromida. Not bad overall, though.
This is a little late but I own one and fully modified it one thing I found out if you raise the body it doesn't rub and look better
fun fact: to tell if a car has a brushed motor or not drive it up a hill. if it starts going backwards then its brushless. if it stays in place its brushed.
Great review
Awesome review as always, sir.
Looks like a little trimming is required to make it all clear, bummer.
It seems a cool runner otherwise
Trimming the rear fenders isn't too bad. You can also remove the rear tire to lose the weight back there. Upgrading the shocks will help fender rubbing too and is necessary if you want to be able to control the car.
doesn't look like to bad of a bang for the buck. Nice review.
Thanks! :)
Flyin' Ryan RC HEY DUDE, I WATCH ALOT OF YOUR REVIEWS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ITS OK FOR YOU TO SEND ME A COOL AND FAST RC CAR THAT YOU DONT USE SO MUCH.PLEASE TEXT BACK.THNX:)
No just cause you watch his vídeos doesnt mean he owns you something
It's not bad at all. I recommend the shock upgrade and steering servo upgrade right out of the box. That should set you around $100 for a decent little car.
Hello ryan, could you please put the Teton 1/18 4wd to a climbing test please?
No, because I no longer have the Teton, and it's not really a crawler/climber anyway.
Another great review Guru!!👍👍👍👍
Thanks bud! :)
Flyin' Ryan RC hey flyin ryan, what is the best small drone with good camera (under 50£)
Flyin' Ryan RC Does this have a lipo cutoff
Just got one of these and ur vid is very helpful 👍
Glad to help! :)
Great review man👍
Thanks!
stiff ing up the shocks
William Pepper stiff shocks=crazy drifts. I like the way you think.
8:21 R.I.P. grass
No problems amozon has it for $89 so all is good thanks I subscribed and liked good vids keep it up and answering questions from the discription 😊😊☺☺☺😏😏😏
can you do more ground vehicle reviews and keep up the great videos 👍!!
Great Review 😊👏
Thanks! :)
1:20 works like a charm if you put the body on correctly haha
very nice video like
I have the smax version of this. Metal motor spur gear it comes with sucks, already been grinding down perhaps I got a defect. and the brass motor pinion 2. only been a few weeks.I dont bash it either.My A959 metal gear and metal pinion is still fine after 5 month, Mesh is dead on just weak"er" metal. Upgraded the servo already and wheels 1/10 12mm. But Its well worth the money,4 any1 looking its basically a slightly Bigger A979 with steel gears and diffs but they dont fit ive tried lol . same 390 motor diff pinion I believe.I have an A979 body it fits just drill the another set of holes lil wider. Its runs great other than the cheap metal gear.And 1 of the stock wheel broke its center baby driving in the parking lot.Other than that its great. Great reviews Flying Ryan Rc, I always watch ya vids.2
brass pinion on metal spur gear always wear quickly. need a plastic spur gear if possible. or metal metal. brass always wear to fast.
Thanks man you are the Best:)
Glad to help! :)
Where did u go?!? It’s been 3 years since your last video...
its 65 dollars on Walmart btw
LBtoys 9301 (white)
vs
this???
i said (white) because i think the red doesn't have a tyre on back...
Cool video
Looks nice but the only problem I have with it, is the back tires drag on the shell...
3:34 what is the button with the weird light bulb thing next to it?
Does a Latrax prerunner body fit this?
1. How fast actually is it? 2. What brushless motor can I get for it? 3. Can I get a 3s lipo for it?
The body rubbing on the wheels is normal on short course trucks even on high end Losi models
Well, it's stupid, so I'm gonna keep mentioning it until they start fixing it. heh
Flyin' Ryan RC , lol if you can get the RC industry to fix a problem that's plagued Short course trucks since the they came on the market you are truly the master of all things RC. personally I put tape on those spots and that helps save the paint in the wheel rub spots
xxryan76xx Hey, I try at least! hahaha
did you attach the body clips?
nice really nice
How it can be waterproof if the switch is not sealed? Great review as always Guru!!
No idea. lol
Alex 1193 the inside could is coated in water proofing stuff
Alex 1193 the electronics are waterproofed but the battery isn’t so be careful there.
The esc is coated. The servo and motor is not waterproof. Its meant to be driven through wet areas, but not streams or submerged. But... I've read someone claimed they lost the car under ice in a pond and the car still ran 3 months later after the ice melted. There is also a video in Chinese showing the car running under water in a fish tank for several minutes. I've personally driven the car into a pool and tried to drive around the bottom. Couldn't due to buoyancy. Had it in for a few minutes. Pulled it out and kept driving it around immediately. I've now rinse the car every time after I'm done playing with it. Gets all the dirt and grass out easily. Then I hit it with the air compressor to get the last bit out and dry it. No issues yet. But every car is built differently and your mileage will vary.
good guys
cool
well, you could just trim the wheel arches up a bit more?
Would you recommend this for the price? Is it fun to bash?
I have 4 of them. They are fun with others. If you want more fun out of them you have to upgrade the shocks and servo so you can control them better. Just 1 will improve the car a lot. But both will be better. This car doesn't have enough speed for jumps though. You get a little air but nothing exciting. I don't see upgrading the power/speed being worth it if it comes out to the price of a brand name rc that will do that same thing in stock form.
I own one of these but it is having some issues with charging but other than that its pretty good
I got it for 69$ on ebay with a 2 year warranty for 8$ normally its 120 so im happy
So help full
Glad you liked my review. :)
Flyin' Ryan RC I think I’m going to buy one
Flyin' Ryan RC I also subed you today
Flyin' Ryan RC u there
Cool, thanks for subbing! Unfortunately, I have retired from making reviews, so it's unlikely I'll be uploading any new videos to my channel. I have plenty of existing videos for you to watch through though, if you'd like. :)
Nice review do u know if u can buy after market parts any other brand parts compatible with it how's the set up on it what tooth ratio engine mount pinion I'm curious before I buy it because if it I can put my old set up in it then it own it's name lol I just don't wanna buy it if I can't make it faster better n more durable
Wheels are too big for a 1/16 SCT...Great Video Flyin Ryan!
You need to FPV this ride.
it would be 50 km/h+ if you got the kit and put the racer star brush less motor in it. which is what imma do.
Can you link the kit?
The newer models have a different control board and has no on/off switch
Just bought mines recently and it does come with the on/off switch. It's optional. There is a jumper that turn the car on if the battery is plugged in. You can remove the jumper and plug in the supplied on/off switch if you wish. The on/off switch does become harder to use with dust and water getting in it.
Since the esc is waterproof, does that mean when I run it the first te it can go through water without a problem or will I have to waterproof everything else such as the motor?
It doesn’t rub for me I have one
Nice dude, I was looking to actually buy this for myself, btw I'm a beginner to rc cars and wondering if this car has any aftermarket parts or if I could put in a different motor esc system in.
I have no idea about parts. I don't think there are any specifically meant for this vehicle, but I'm sure you could find parts if you know what sizes, etc, to look for. That's not really the sort of thing I do, or know about though. I just review stuff as they come out of the box.
This reminds me of the traxxas slash 1/16 scale 4x4 pls
I got one it’s really fast
good
I don't know if I missed it or u didn't cover it? is it waterproof and what's top speed?
Yes, I covered both, several times actually. ;) It's waterproof, and IIRC, the speed is around 25-30mph.
Flyin' Ryan RC ok thank you very much
How fast will it go..
Question will a 3cell work in it??
Have you upgraded anything on it
anyways, HorizonHobby ECX torment or this???
i had the torment 1/18 but the spur gear got wrecked and didnt have the time to fix it so i threw it out :(((
so do i get a ECX again or this?
you threw out a whole RC because one gear broke?
Any one have the issue of pushing the power button but car won't turn on? And yes the battery is charged. I accidentally ran through some water and was just wondering if anyone else experience an issue.
Heyyyyy Please do a review on GP toys s912
I want to know.............
If you get a 1600 battery instead of 1500 will it make the car go faster or will it just take longer to charge but the battery lasts longer?
The "mAh" rating of the battery is essentially the "gas tank". A 1600 will give slightly longer run times than the 1500. It will not make it go any faster... in fact, it might slow it down a tiny bit, due to the extra weight of the battery.
Do these have oiled filled shocks?
Does it come with a battery
Can it be upgraded
How much?
Hey man where are you? are you going to start your channel up again?
Just taking some time off. I'll get back to making reviews at some point. :)
Will 3s work?
Why does mine not have an off and on switch
Probably 15mph. Decent for a $60 truck
Could lights be added on it?
I want a off road rc car but a durable one and I want the main thing is SPEED so which one would be better in all rc cars??
There is simply no answer to that question. There is no one "best" RC car. And, if you want speed, you sacrifice durability. The faster you go, the more likely you are to break parts. This Short Course truck is definitely not best at off-road though. For off-road you want a buggy or monster truck.
can you review cessna182big \?
you should do the helix race drone from air hogs
I will be. :)
Can u review the gptoys s912
Not 100% but it looks like you can raise the body mounts on the frame check and see and if you can please reply I’m looking at purchasing the same unit
Yes you can. There are 3 setting on the shock/body tower. Stock it is set in the middle.
Cool lido I was wondering do you buy the things the review or do you get sent them if you don't mind me asking
I buy some, and some are sent to me to review. :)
What do you do with all the drones you get do you keep them or give them back after the review?
Invisible Ink I get to keep them, but then I give them away locally to friends, family, and coworkers, or sell them to my local hobby shop.
Flyin' Ryan RC cool some people would just keep them I think it's cool that you share them. I appreciate you and your videos
Invisible Ink Thanks! :) It's a great feeling to be able to give these away and make a lot of friends, and their kids, happy. :)
Speed ???
So I like to have battles with rc cars, is this durable enough to take some hits?
I'm not sure about that. It's all plastic parts, so a bad hit could break it pretty easily, I would think.
Do a review on gp toys s912. 70$ on Amazon and REALLY fast!
Samstrex you are so right I might do one.
NERF NOW HOW nice! I really need to know if it's worth it! I m looking forward if you're making the video.
Samstrex you know what I am going to do it today so it might come out tonight or tomorrow so check and leave a commit in the video.
Which one is better wl toys 12428 or this one???*???????????
Better in what way? They are entirely different types of vehicles, so it's impossible for me to say which is better for you and your needs/wants.
I cannot buy it from the discription😠😠😠😡😡😡😟😟😢😢
Looks like Banggood no longer sells it. I found one other seller online, and added that link to the video description.
would you recommend this or a Traxxas 1/16? I have a Traxxas Rustler VXL 1/10 that I am very pleased with...so im a little hesitatant when it comes to buying a different brand of RC. would you recommend this truck? thanks
Does Traxxas even make anything smaller than 1:10 scale? This Rocket truck should be quite durable, thanks to the metal parts, but it's a tad bit on the slow side.
Flyin' Ryan RC yes Traxxas makes 1/16 as well as 1/18
Driving RC buy the Traxxas so you can get parts and a better design, and you can get a brushless too.
mike s true
I have the Remo and my brother has the Traxxas. The Traxxas 1/16 is better out of the box at around $200 compared to the Remo's $60. But adding $12 servo and $25 shocks the Remo comes close to the Traxxas. Drag race they are very close. The Remo jumps off the line better because it is lighter. The Traxxas is very heavy in comparison. The Remo uses a brushed motor with 2s lipo. The Traxxas a brushless motor with a NiMH. The brushless motor is better than the brushed motor and the lip battery is better than the NiMH battery. But I still think the Traxxes is stronger. The weight just holds it back. The Traxxes can use a 2s lipo as well but you have to buy that separately. Even with the Remo upgraded shocks and servo it is hard to keep it in a straight line and a bit harder to control than the Traxxas. Adding weight to the Remo may help with this. The Traxxas will easily keep a straight line and controls a bit better but it has one major flaw. The Traxxes like to flip. Slowing down to turn prevents this but the Remo doesn't need to slow down. The Traxxes has thinner tires. Maybe grippier. It's heavier, giving it a higher center of gravity. And more power. The Traxxes comes with oiled shocks but the weight of the car offsets this. We added heavier oil (same as the Remo) (1000 cst). This helps the flipping issue at speeds and sharp turns, but the Traxxes can still flip. The power and grip is part of the problem because I think it likes to bite when you turn and that's what causes the flipping as well. Overall I like the Traxxes a bit more and it preforms a bit better but for the price the Remo is good also. If money is not an issue, get the Traxxas. If you want a cheap car to bash the Remo is better. I don't like bash expensive RCs and replacing parts all the time. A cheap RC, I don't mind as much. The other factor for me is having multiple cars/people to play with. It's boring by yourself. I got 4 Remo cars for everyone to play with. I wouldn't even think of doing that at the price of the Traxxas.
There are 3 models in 1/16 scale now available for Remo RC. Check them out here! hobbyshop247.com/rc-vehicles/electric-rc-vehicles/1-16
Is this truck lipo compatible?
I would imagine so... it comes with a Li-Ion battery, which is pretty much the same as a LiPo.
what?! its not plastic! its something that you can crumple it and cut it it wont attach well!
i'm not gonna buy that! but i really like it!
what if your on an offroad and the road is really rocky the body will fell of the chasis?
if u buy that kind of rc is it all of the offroad vehicles water proof pls answer all of my questions! i just changed my mind! i really like it! how much does it cost! is 100$+
Tourque Gamingz you buy these pretty cheap body's that are a lot better
Zuriel Blogs all rc body's are like that unless they are hardshell body's for crawling and some other types of rcs
and had any problems
If I get this car. And got new suspension. Would the tires still rub?
No idea... guess that would depend on if the new suspension changes the height or width of the wheelbase.
No. If you get oiled shocks. The Remo upgrade shocks are taller (even at the lowest settings) than the stock shocks. They are stiffer too so the body/tire won't rub as much. You can use heavier oil in the shocks to help as well. You can also set the shock higher on the shocks themselves and when you mount them on the chassis. The other think you can do is remove the spare tire. That will take the weight off the body.
do review on wl toys a979/a969 plizz!!:)
I reviewed the A959, which is essentially the same hardware. They just set it up a bit differently for different types of vehicles. I think you can get an idea of what to expect with each from my A959 video though.
They definitely copied the traxxas slash look but I own a slash 4x4 so I guess that's not a bad thing
SRT All Day traxxas copied trophy/Baja trucks, they also sued someone for a mechanism they didn’t invent.
Mine doesnt have a on and off switch what should i do
Same
A lot of RC models don't have on/off switches. In that case, just connect or disconnect the battery in order to power it on and off.
It has a small plastic connector on the esc with 2 prongs it comes off real easy
Where can I buy a charger for this???
Dave Sec I just bought an Arrma granite 4x4 and it looks like the same dongle. Most hobby stores that sell R/C cars should have them
have you tried to run it in the mud
No, I haven't, but I wouldn't suggest that with a brushed motor. Mud puts a lot of stress on the motor, so that would be a better job for a brushless motor, and maybe even a bigger scale, like 1:10.
Getting stuck and burning out the motor is the big issue. As for getting dirty the issue is the center driveshaft. Its opened and if that gets mud/rocks stuck in it, you can break the shaft. The differentials on the front and back are sealed. I get grass and weeds get crammed around the center driveshaft all the time.
