FTXTracer 1/16 RTR Monster Truck - Orange - FTX5576O

What a great mini RC basher. A fantastic cost friendly introduction to Radio Controlled cars. Gone are the days of the slow RC cars of my childhood. This has a surprising turn of speed which I was very pleasantly surprised at for a car of this size and price. Very responsive and with analogue steering and acceleration. It's perfect as a little cheap dip into whether you want to invest in a bigger, faster more expensive model. Feels premium to hold and is flexible in all the right places to help absorb any impacts. Classed as a hobby grade model and it shows. Spare parts are available for any repairs and would build up your confidence of swapping parts out or upgrading components. Having the option to limit the top speed through the controller is a nice addition if starting out or for a child to get used to controlling it. Battery charges up through the USB adapter in about 2 hours and gives approximately 15 minutes of run time to have fun whizzing around, skidding, jumping and generally having a great time with. Being 4 wheel drive it has excellent grip and the tyres are really good. Definitely a good investment for beginners or anyone who wants to see how these cars have advanced over the years.

Brilliant little truck, can’t go wrong at all!

Durable! That's the first thing that comes to mind. It is so quick and the suspension is fantastic. You can adjust the speed as you learn to control it if you're a first timer.It is very easy to assemble as it is just a few clips to pop the body on. Battery life is OK - I would recommend getting a spare or two if you are going out with it and want to have fun for a while. So much fun!!!

Bought two cars, one for myself and one for my daughter.One was faulty out the box, randomly reversing at high speed (without touching the transmitter) - I think related to the auto-breaking technology in the ESC.The other car stopped working after 2 batteries. The transmitter and receiver and steering worked, but nothing happened when using the throttle.These care have the potential to be awesome, when the briefly worked they are fantastic! Sadly they have ruined my daughters birthday morning.

Bought this for my son's fifth birthday, it's a well built little car that can really get so e speed up. Although it is quite hard to control at full speed but that might be my inexperience. It's does have a speed limiter controll which means I can turn it right down when my son uses it. I would have preferred something a little larger scale but this seemed to be the best in the price range as they seem to go up in price with scale and I don't want to pay too much on his first remote.

Lots of fun and a perfect starter RC car. Has a very helpful feature of being able to adjust the power- it's pretty fast on max setting, circa 20mph. Battery will frustrate as it'll only last ten minutes, so you'll want to buy a higher capacity one. A 1500mah one will give you 30 mins. Overall, I'd recommend, but gave 3 stars for the small battery.

Thos is an awesome little rc car, got it for my son but fi d myself playing with it a lot, its very quick but power can be turned down from control, its very robust both me and my son crash it all over the place and it holds up!

Tough wee truck which has so far provided a lot of fun. Fast enough to entertain doing jumps, donuts and even backflips. Very good for the price.
