4910 4WD Nitro T-Maxx RTR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 2 T-Maxxs for the boys (7&9) for Christmas. Assembly is simple. Run the antenna through the antenna tube and pin on the body. Truck comes with a DVD that walks you through the break in process. Takes a while but it is simple. The boys handled it with very little help from dad.
After the break in the trucks are ready to run and you can really appreciate the difference between a toy and a nitro powered hobby level truck. These things scream and are super fast. Don't bother unless you have a large open area to run it in.
The trucks seem to be well made and sturdy. We live by the coast so rust is a problem with almost everything but the T-Maxx is all aluminum and plastic so this should not be a problem. The range is obviously more than sufficient since I run them as far as I can see them and never lose control of the truck.
The package comes with a glow plug, nitro filler bottle and all the tools you need to make adjustments, change tires, replace plugs etc.
One of my boys ran his into a steel pole at full speed and damaged the front right suspension and shocks. I looked up the parts and they are all available cheap on EBay. Then I called Traxxas and asked if I should rebuild it myself or send it in and although they assured me the rebuild is simple and inexpensive I think I will let them handle it this time. They said we could just box it up and send it in and they will do the repair for a nominal fee.
Customer service from the repair department was great. I got a real person who was knowledgeable and friendly. That never happens these days.
It is nice to know that no matter what new and innovative methods my kids find to break these trucks, that every single component is easily replaceable and that the parts are inexpensive. There are also hundreds of upgrades out there. I have ordered a new body a roll cage and a wheelie bar as well as some replacement parts to have on hand.
We were a little nervous about getting 'grown-up' race trucks for the boys but having done so I could not be more pleased. These are awesome!
I will update with more on the customer service experience once we get the truck back.
Update
After speaking with the Traxxas repair department I decided to try to do the repair myself. Traxxas only makes the schematics available to dealers but I found some online through a different website and I used this to make a list of all the parts I needed. I ordered them online and when they arrived, my son and I put the truck back together in about an hour. To work on this truck you only need the tools that came with the truck and a #2 phillips screwdriver. In doing the repair I was amazed by how well built the truck is. Everything is built to tight tollerances and there was obviously much thought put into rebuilding the trucks. Every single piece is easily replaced even by a novice such as myself.
Now for my one and only gripe. Traxxas needs to put the schematics on the website. You have a product that is rebuildable but not easily rebuildable without instructions. I understand that you want to give your dealers an edge concerning repairs but the benefit to dealers in this instance does not outweigh the sacrifice created in the trade off by diminishing the overall experience of the end user.

Traxxas Bandit RTR Buggy w/XL5 ESC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Specifics:
The Traxxas Bandit XL-5 is a popular 1/10 scale model remote control buggy capable of 35+ MPH speeds right out of the box. Traxxas is a leading RC manufacturer based in Plano Tx. The assembled buggy is about a foot long and weighs in at about 3 lbs. The Bandit buggy style has been around since 1995 and shares many parts with the Rustler. Currently there are 2 available new models, the 2405 as seen here and the 2407 also known as the Bandit VXL. Sticking with the 2407 as seen here, the buggy is on and off road capable in wet and dry conditions due to Traxxas engineers creating waterproof electronics. The Bandit XL-5 is rated for skill level 1 for ease of set-up, maintenance, and support. It's important to consider that it also has a "training" mode with reduced power to make learning to drive easier and fun at the same time (not to mention safer). Currently, new Traxxas Bandits come with everything needed to get up and running with the exception of 8AA batteries for the transmitter. Parts are readily available from hobby stores that carry the Traxxas brand and the internet.
The Driving:
Setting up is easy, basically charge the battery, plug it in, turn it on and your off.
The Bandit is fast, fun, and durable. It can handle almost any terrain from packed snow and asphalt to dirt and light mud. Plowed fields and forest floors are the only places that come to mind that may not work in the Bandits favor. Driving is easy and intuitive with the transmitter trigger and wheel control. Both throttle and steering is proportional, meaning turn a little and the wheels turn a little. Lefty's may find the right handed steering a little getting used to. With all the speed and power built into the Bandit it's good to know that they are also durable. Even with reasonable care I have flipped and tumbled the Bandit in the dirt, driven into fences, and jumped and landed various ways and the bandit keeps going, usually still on it's feet (or tires)(check youtube for videos). Currently the supplied battery pack will give you 10-20 minutes driving time per charge. This leads to purchasing faster chargers and more batteries which cost about $40 for a charger and between $20-$100 for a battery. A word on safety, at top speeds the 3 lb weight can hit something as hard as a hammer. The batteries produce 3000-8000 milli-amps, more than enough for very serious shocks, burns, and worse. Aftermarket Li-Po batteries have a whole host of cautionary statements. Drivers/owners/buyers should exercise appropriate caution.
Moving up:
Even your basic Bandit has a whole host of upgradable parts available, aluminum replacement pieces, tires, electronics and motors, even the gearing can be changed to better adapt to pavement or dirt. If your board with driving your Bandit around the neighborhood there are RC clubs that sponsor racing and other activities. It's a good overall experience for young and old alike.

AFA Racing iROCK 4x4 Rock Crawler 1/8 RTR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this Rock Crawler, the only complaint i have is that the Truck came new out of the Box with the ESC dangling off the Truck I had to Re-stick it to the Mounting Plate. It ran great for about 3 min then it malfuntioned. I had to Email Integy about the ESC not working, it took 3 days for an Email response and i have to Mail my ESC to them in Califorinia from Peoria IL. So It will be fun to play with when I get the Part returned to me from Integy.

1:10 Scale Electric Stuck-up 4wd Racing Buggy RTR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son got this RC car for Christmas 2010. It comes mostly pre-assembled in the box with only minor parts to put on (the antennas, for example). This is a lot of car for the money and it does go fast, especially with an upgraded battery.
Pros:
Comes complete with rechargeable battery, charger and radio control
Easy to use pistol-grip type controller
No set-up required other than adding the batteries and putting on the antennas
Fast and fun
Looks good
Easy to upgrade the battery from most any hobby store for more speed and a longer run time.
Four-wheel-drive is impressive, especially in gravel or dirtCons:
Run time is only about 10 minutes (may be longer in warmer weather).
Uses the same battery in the car for the drive motor and the receiver. When the battery gets low the car will just stop. Releasing the throttle and pulling it will get the car going again but the time between stops gets shorter each time the car is restarted. It's a little annoying but is a good indicator that the battery is almost dead.
Only includes battery for the motor and receiver (in the car), not for the controller. It takes 8 AA batteries.
Rechargeable battery is Ni-Cad and we found out that it's no longer a technology of choice. When I went to buy another battery the people at the hobby store thought the battery I brought was old and was surprised to find that it was brand new. The new battery of choice is NMh and cost between $20 and $60 depending on how many mili-amps you want.
Old Ni-Cad chargers don't work on the new NMh batteries so don't expect to be able to use that charger you had from your old RC car days. The new charger cost about $40.
Included battery charger is not a quick charger
Spare parts are impossible to find. After a week my son ran his car into a mailbox damaging the front, right wheel and suspension. The owner's manual has an exploded view with all the parts and part numbers but there is no information on how to order them and no amount of Internet searching could find parts for that particular car. I took it to a hobby store and they looked over and said that they did not have any replacement parts other than the wheel. The only solution they could offer was to rebuild the entire suspension with all new parts. The company that makes this car (Heng-Long) does make spare parts for other toys they sell (RC tanks, for example) so the possibility exists for them to offer them for this car in the future.
Since the car is only $135 (compared to $95 Tamiya cars without a radio or battery) I thought it was a good deal for a first "real" RC car. Now I'm not so sure. Having spare parts available is worth a lot. I have tried to repair the broken parts and rebuilt some parts from scratch but the repairs didn't last. Now we're stuck with a one-month old toy that is inoperable and awaiting another fix. My best option so far is to give it to the hobby store and see if they can rebuild it (they will have to match both the left and right with new parts) or buy another one and use the broken one for spares. Money that I could have spent to buy a car with available spares to begin with.
Bottom line: I would spend the extra money to get a car with a proven record (Tamyia, Losi, etc.) with spare parts available at any RC hobby store.

Associated RC18MT 1/18 4WD R/C RTR Electric Monster Truck Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi
I dont do alot of reviews, but here it goes....
I bought mine used, in near mint shape. It was complete in it's original box.
It ran fairly well, for about 20 minutes. The speed was ok, on the NiMh battery...
In an effort to get more runtime, I decided to forgo the 7.2v NiMh 1100mah battery for a
7.4 2200mah LiPo....Now this move absolutely requires a Lipo Specific charger, hopefully
one that balances each individual cell as it charges. I happen to have one for another car
so this switch was not a problem.
I bought a few Zippy lipo's from Hong Kong (one for this car was $12.79).
The difference was staggering. The car now runs at darn near 20mph, which is what it was supposed to do
with the old battery. But the real difference is runtime, even with 3 5-6 year olds taking turns they get bored,
it's on the order of 60 minutes+ !!!!
Overall this thing is just simply a blast, it's got speed , and now awesome runtime ( I hear the stock battery should be 2 minutes normally). The 4wd system is great, it handles well. It even runs well in short grass.
It has proven to be pretty durable, though when you do break something like a bumper,control arm, or shock tower, make sure to get the RPM aftermarket part instead of a regular stock one.
Another benefit of buying a car of this caliber is your going to be able to easily find parts at the hobby shop or ebay. ALOT easier than your typical Toys r Us car...
Get one, your kid will love it!!
Tony

4510 Nitro Sport SE RTR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those of you who are looking to buy any type of nitro truck, let me tell you you need alot of patience. I own a traxxas nitro similar to this one and it is alot of fun but requires alot of time, patience, and accurate tunning to get it running. These trucks will also put a big dent in your wallet, nitro fuel costs over $30 dollars and you also have to buy glow plugs. Keep in mind this is a fun hobby, I my self am an rc fanatic, but if you are not willing to put in a lot of time and money into the truck, you may want to consider an electric one.

1/18 Mini-Rock Crawler RTR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was just having a blast with my AX-10 when Losi pulls this out of their hat!!
What a cool little crawler! It comes in four color choices, and has a motor/ESC combo that has more than enough ooomph to crawl over some serious ascents. Obviously, the MRC cannot tackle climbs it's larger brethren can, but it CAN climb some amazing things! I just let mine loose in the back yard, and climb anything and everything this little crawler can handle!
The Losi Mini Rock Crawler is a true RTR. You require nothing more than what's in the box to go crawling! Stuff some batteries in the transmitter (included), charge the included NiMh battery (charger also included), plug it in and GO! The battery is good for about 17-20 minutes of climbing. Plug in a similar sized LiPo battery and go LONGER!
Now THIS is the best beginner crawler I can recommend to anyone who wants to go crawling on a budget. Crawling for the masses! What a concept!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This addendum is placed as of 3/29/09:
I found a wonderful scale conversion that is not expensive, but allows for the mounting of a really detailed Jeep body on the chassis of the little MRC (Mini Rock Crawler).
First thing is the body. I found mine at my local Wally-World. It's made by New Bright Toys and is marketed as the "Jeep Wrangler Unlimited". It costs approx. $60.00, and while that may SOUND expensive, I know folk who have spent 20 times that amount to do what I'm doing here. You may have color choices, but I was "stuck" with red. It's O.K. though, because my wheels are red, so it's all good.
You will need to remove four screws that hold the body on the chassis, then lift the body off, and toss the chassis, unless you have a specific use for it.
Next, and this is complicated, so follow closely:
Place the ESC UNDER the top plate of the MRC, behind the motor (placing it effectively upside-down). Move the receiver to the top of the steering servo with servo tape or other fastener. Next, cut off the two ribs on the top plate, and place velcro on the top plate.
Test-fit the body on the chassis, taking note of WHERE the chassis sits in relation to the body- wheel wells, wheel height, etc. Then place the other velcro strip to the underside of the body, and "mate" the two halves (you will notice at this juncture that there is an AWFUL LOT of room underneath the body, especially in the hood area, to mount a battery or other accessories, pretty cool!).
The MRC sits a bit too high with it's stock suspension, so I lowered mine by mounting Duratrax "Cliff Climber" crawler shocks. It lowers the ride height by three-eighths of an inch, which is perfect for my conversion. Also, place lead weights on the insides of each wheel. I have approx. three ounces in each of my wheels, and it helps keep the wheels planted on the rocks.
With this mod, the Jeep looks like a stocker on which someone mounted oversized wheels and tires to it! Lights are going on, as well as a working winch! I'm using a scale beer cooler in the bed to hide all the wiring, and it's already wearing 3 batteries! Heavy? Not as much as I thought, but it helps keep the crawler planted on the rocks much better!
Another great benefit of all that weight is that the suspension system actually works like the real thing now. Crawlers as a rule emphasize articulation over travel, but now I have both! I might just try making it a bit faster, as a Trail/Scale truck.
My little "Jeep MRC" is SERIOUS cool! It crawls better than a stock MRC, but looks gangbusters now with it's new scale Jeep Wrangler body, and it all costs less than $100.00!!
New Bright makes all sorts of really detailed scale bodies that can be used for scale builds, such as this one, to make your MRC look and perform better than a stocker, and make it unique in your neighborhood, as well!! All the parts used here can be found here, on Amazon!!

Hotshot Off-Road Buggy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)More than 20 years ago in Manila, my brother and i got to compete in R/C racing.
Mine was the Grasshopper and his was the ever durable Hotshot.
It was one heck of a vehicle which he lent me from time to time.
Being young and inexperienced, i slamed this baby on gutters and sidewalks several times, but it didnt seem to bother it at all. Sure it was heavier than AE's RC10 but as for durability, i can say nothing more. A blast from the 4WD past.
Recently, i got myself this re-issue version. I noticed it almost looked the same, minus the ceramic resistors just below the wing. Brings me back to the days when after a competition and i pick it up, i drop it a few feet back on the ground because my hand gets scalded from those resistors. Now they are just there to complete the look.
Im collecting now. I first bought the RC10 - the one that beat us up most of the time in races. I couldnt afford one then, but now i got one to start off the collection. Intended for me, I eventually had my son play with it since i knew there was something else i wanted. Then i stumbled on the re-issued Hotshot, and i have never been so happy. It took me and my son the whole day bringing it to life. A good bonding project.
The Grasshopper and The Frog is next. Im getting my credit cards ready as i'll be purchasing these two soon here at Amazon.

Only one recomendation as its sooooooooooo much fun playing and running around with this powerful car. I would suggest buy a NiMH battery pack to make the fun last longer. I bought one and it last longer and is more fun to play with it. another good feature is that theres plenty of room to modify it according to your needs. I bought HPI D-Box, HPI LED SET, HPI T-Drift tires, HPI Chevrolet Camaros 2010 body, which makes drifting and playing with this car fun. I want to buy SPRINT to DRIFT Sports Camaros now!!!

The E10 from HPI Racing is an entry level 1/10th scale electric car designed for fun driving with realistic looks and performance, all at a low price. The E10 was designed so anyone can take the wheel and give it a try! The Assembled version comes with a fully painted body and a preassembled chassis, but eliminates the radio system, battery and charger so the owners can use their own equipment or purchase custom electronics not available in the RTR version. The RTR version arrives ready to run right out of the box with a fully painted body and a preassembled chassis, it's a simple matter of ‘charge and go' for hours of fun. The Touring version comes in a variety of highly detailed and pre-painted body styles, from the exotic Lamborghini Murcielago (10762) to the famous Nissan R32 GT-R (10763), to the muscular Ford Mustang GT-R (10764).

Associated RC18R 1/18 Kamino RTR Rally Car Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great, but basic starter car for anyone looking for something a little better than your standard sub $50 toy R/C cars you buy from the cheap outlets or market resellers. This unit comes with everything you need to start driving the car (except 8 x AA batteries which you need to supply for the transmitter). Just charge up the included battery, connect it, secure the body down, sort out your transmitter and off you go. The car handles very nicely, and while not terribly fast, you can certainly generate a bit of speed quickly with the included motor. The oil filled shocks are good and overall build quality seems quite good.
Spare parts are available, but hopefully not needed for a long while. This is a 27Mhz system so range is limited compared to a 2.4Ghz but still plenty of range to reach up and down most suburban streets. Battery life seems very good compared to other RC cars I have used/owned. Overall a nice package and I guess it could be easily upgraded if you wanted to (brushless motor etc).

Redcat Racing SUMORC-TRUGGY-BLACK Sumo RC 1- 24 Scale Electric Vehicles Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I almost never buy something with no reviews, but I was able to research this brand of car online some and decided to take a chance since Amazon had the best price I could find. Though the shipping time was plenty fast enough, it didn't matter as this was a Christmas gift for my 8 yr old son. Let me just say, this is the best RC car I've personally ever played with. I knew I wanted to find my son something better than the cheap crap most big box stores sell these days, but I also didn't want to break the bank on something that would simply be too much for an 8 yr old. This one was a great choice. It drives great and is one fast little beast! With some momentum, it's even able to make it across my lawn, which is something I was impressed by. Probably the only con I can see to this is that it takes a lot of batteries...12 total, 4 in the car itself and 8 in the controller...so I'd definitely recommend investing in some good rechargeable's! Also, beware of the antenna for the controller. If unsupervised, an 8 yr old is capable of breaking it quickly like mine managed to Christmas morning! Fortunately, it screws into the controller, so nothing that can't be easily replaced! Overall, this was a great buy and has been a fun little toy to drive!

Waterproof XL-5 ESC Low Voltage Detection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm no pro, so my standards may not be as high as others. This esc is simple to use, and seems powerful and efficient. I like the Traxxas battery connectors - high current, durable, relatively easy to solder. The fact that it's waterproof is fantastic - I can run it in the 'dirt', which more often than not is mud where I live. The esc itself is big - I've had to struggle to fit it into a few models. On my old Tamiya Hornet, it kept spontaneously shutting off for reasons I could never quite figure out. It would often shut off right after a collision, which is very annoying. In retrospect, it might have the crummy Tamiya battery adapter I was using, or I might have accidentally had the ESC set to LiPO batteries when I was using NiMh. So with the exception of that one flaw, which I suspect was my fault, this a great controller.
