HAIBOXING 1:18 Scale All Terrain RC Car 36KM/H High Speed, 4WD Electric Vehicle,2.4 GHz Radio Controller, Included 2 Batteries and A Charger,Waterproof Off-Road Truck (Red)

Wow, what can I say about this little beast. Probably one of the best little basher there is. It exceeds expectations, it is super tough, very quick for it's size and handles great. The "fun factor" of these are way higher than many other faster more "high end" name branded RCs. I have 3 of these myself. After showing them off to my family and friends, they have ordered some for themselves because they were so impressed with it. You can bash these without worrying about breaking them within reason! Even in the rain! Yes they are waterproof, more so than I expected, but still wouldn't advise getting it fully submerged (although I took mine through some huge mud puddles, and still all good). I do suggest you clean and WD-40 after running it in the harsh elements to keep it alive and well.I would say the only weak points or cons so far I have found are:-Body shell is thin and will crack quick. However you can cure this by gorilla taping the inside of the shell. It will do wonders, especially where the body mount holes are. While it does add minor weight, it makes the body able to hold up to the abuse the rest of the RC can endure.-Body clips are super thin and these RCs will shed them the first time you roll or flip it. Highly recommend ordering extras and having them on hand when you go out and bash. I ordered some 1/16 clips by apex on Amazon and they are much heavier duty and will actually stay in, plus they come in a pack of 100 so if you do lose one you have tons of spares.-Battery that comes with it does not give you much run time, maybe 10 mins maximum. It also doesn't unleash the true potential of these little RCs. I highly recommend buying a LiPo for it (search "7.4v 1100 mAh LiPo JST", there are a couple options. These are the batteries for WLtoys A949, A959, A969, A979 and A929 and will fit into the HBX Rampage, Hailstorm, and Rachet. You just have to move the screw up one hole on your battery hold down). These batteries are probably the biggest upgrade you can do along with adding the upgraded oil shocks. Turns this thing into a little animal with added punch and acceleration, along with 2x or more the runtime. Only thing is to be mindful about not running the battery too low as I do not believe the ESC has a LiPo cutoff so if you run it too low it can damage the LiPo.-Shocks that come stock are friction style without oil and are extremely bouncy and make it a bit hard to control, and do not protect the chassis from bottoming out so you will bang it up quick. The upgraded oil shocks available for these are completely worth it. Highly recommend. Makes this RC go from toy to hobby grade.The only part I have broke on these is a part in the steering assembly. I would say this is the only weak link in this whole platform. I wish they had an upgrade for it but unfortunately they do not. Just be aware this is the part to check after hard hits and crashes. I have broke 2 on 2 separate occasions. Both were probably my fault as I'm not easy on these at all but as stated before, it is a weak point. What makes it even tougher is the part is not available from anywhere in the USA and has to be ordered from China. It took about 3 weeks for me to get so if you do break this part be expecting a bit of down time. I would also recommend buying extras if and when you do order it. (HBX part# 18109).Overall, I can't say enough good things about this little RC, it has been one of the best most reliable and fun RCs I have ever owned, period. Highly recommend. Thing will take abuse and just keep going, and has great performance to boot. I always bring one in a backpack when I go out bashing any of my other RCs and always end up ending the bash session with it! (My little Ole reliable!) Just wish any of the parts were able to get faster. Thank you and I hope this helps anyone looking at these great little RCs.

Yeah, these are so fun and durable so far after 6 months of owning the first one. Love you can switch it in slow mode on the controller and hand it to a kid. Slow mode is still pretty fast for a 4yr old, but not too fast where it can damage its self if they run into something and hold the trigger down not knowing what to do. In normal speed mode, it's plenty fast and fun for me even. I would recommend this to any RC enthusiast looking to share in the fun of RC with kids.Funny, in this review it's asking for the user age to help others buy for the right age. The speed switch makes it to where this toy can be suitable to a wider range of users ages.I would suggest 3yrs+ all the way to adult.

My son got this for Christmas. He's 8 and loves it. He uses slow mode in the house and has fun setting up obstacles for it to climb over. Outside in the yard or street he uses fast mode and is really getting good at the fine motor control to steer at high speeds. Battery seems to last quite a while and with 2 batteries he can charge and play forever. Took him a couple trys to learn how to swap the battery but he figured it out pretty quickly and doesn't need help anymore.

I baught 2 of these trucks 1 for each of my children. They were smaller then expected but this little truck will move. They have taken a little abuse and held up well so far. Engine is pretty good has a normal and fast mode on the controller which helps for beginners. The reaction in normal mode is a little slow to respond so not the best for crawling but for a starter 4 wheel drive with decent high speed for beginners its awsome.

While I have only had this car for a week or two now I have used it multiple times a day every day since with my 10 yr old. We are both beginner's to the R/C world and needed something better than the sharper image cars we were using. This car for the bill perfectly. The 2 speed options are perfect for our different skill levels. First thing we did was sand and paint the body though as the styling wasn't a fit for our taste. I did purchase 2 extra batteries and I'm glad I did. While you do get a good 15 min or so per battery it's a lot more convenient to just swap a battery than waiting on a charge.We have beaten the hell out of this thing? My son stepped on it in a full run, smashed a stop sign pole at full speed, and have flipped it a hundred times! All causing nothing but cosmetic damage! The only complaints I have so far with it would be the battery compartment and size. It's really small compared to the sharper image one we have and the battery holder tab tends to open causing the battery to fall out even with the cotter pin installed.All in all a great car for beginners and intermediate skill levels! A great buy! Fast, durable, easy to use, and most importantly....FUN!

I usually check reviews before buying stuff but forgot to in this case. Got a small RC bug and ordered one of these for my 8 year old daughter. After about 10 minutes of play time we ordered a second one. It has two speeds on the transmitter so even a novice can play with it. Put it on normal and its a whole lot of fun for anyone. If you are more advanced you may want the brushless one right out of the gate but for the price, you can't beat it. These are so much fun. Highly recommend. May get a couple more for everyone in the family. Have about 10 hours of play time on them by now and have held up wonderfully. Great product.
