DEERC9206E DIY Extra Shell 1:10 Scale Large RC Cars,48+ KM/H Hobby Grade High Speed Remote Control Car for Adults Boys,All Terrain 4WD 2.4GHz Off Road Monster RC Truck with 2 Battery for 40+ Min Play

This thing RIPS. I loved RC cars as a kid in the 90s. That section of Toys "R" Us was my go to. But they were so expensive, most I ever spent was around $80. And that was a pavement car (half as fast as this DeeRC), no grass.This was $60. 4 wheel drive with positrack. Giant tires and decent shocks. It scoots through and over just about anything, it jumps through 8' of air. Ramps every curb. Crashes and just keeps going. I want another, bigger version now.Only had it about a week at this review, but I feel like if it was going to break it would have. It's gotta break sometime with the abuse it recieves.Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Will get another DeeRC car when this one does break.Edit: it broke. Ran at least 20 batteries through it. One of my kids ran their brick of a car into front passenger wheel from side. Breaking off the top control arm mount from gearbox cover. *sad face*.Good news, enoze makes replacement parts for the PX 9500e (this body style car). They have a direct replacement for $6, or an aluminum version for $12. Currently waiting on the aluminum version.

The media could not be loaded. This is not a toy, unless you're a mature teenager or a teen x5! (That would be me). This little hot rod gives the fun and thrills that you normally only watch on TV. It screams on asphalt, and slides through turns in dirt. It handles jumps with aplomb, but it's also got enough traction and clearance to be able to move along smartly in short grass and even leaves. The four-wheel drive, aggressive tread pattern, and plentiful torque make it a sure-footed scrambler on uneven, near verticle terrain. It took a few runs to graduate to having the throttle and steering on max. At that point it's a wild ride, but controllable with a steady hand. I found it actually more fun, but less terrifying, to turn down the steering and throttle to about 2/3. However, it also breaks up the sameness of a ride by going full tilt and trying to modulate your twitchy response when it starts to head for a tree or the ditch.The controls are well thought-out. The steering trim needed a little tweaking on my model, but was well-placed with the knob at the top of the control unit. Similarly, two other knobs adjust the responsiveness of the steering and throttle. Those, too, are handily placed at the top of the handheld control unit. It is easy to make adjustments at any moment you desire.It is well made with real oil filled shocks and a sturdy underside to the chassis.. Independent suspension and four-wheel drive make it surprisingly stable over bumps and rocks.Having an extra shell is a bonus on two counts. You can either decorate it to your liking or keep it over the stock shell and protect the finish. Likewise it comes with two batteries which is a real plus.I found the battery life to be surprisingly adequate. 20 minutes per battery is a pretty good run.I was asked to evaluate this car, and here's my unbiased evaluation…PROs: It is a large RC model as these things go. At 1:10 scale It doesn't look like a toy, and it doesn't act like one either.It is light for its size, yet sturdy and well made. I appreciate the fact that the motor is equipped with air cooling fins in order to prolong motor life. It generates a lot of very quick torque and jumps off the line when you hit the throttle.The steering is as responsive as you want it. At max setting it can do tight donuts and even slide turns in spite of its four-wheel drive.The interchangeable body makes for ease of replacement if you somehow do catastrophic damage. Likewise, there is a full complement of parts available should you need them.The battery life is more than adequate.The speed gets up in the high 30s which, for its scale, approaches 300 miles an hour. It feels like it.It has good range. It showed no signs of losing control when it got as far out as I was comfortable with. I would guess that was approaching 100 yards. At that point, at 30 mph I was on the verge of losing control myself.CONs: Its Shell is very light and thin. It feels like it could develop a tear. After repeated crashes and rollovers, however, it has not shown anything but a few light scuffs.The cotter pins that hold the shell on and also lock the battery in place are a bit of an annoyance. The holes the pin needs to go through are just slightly larger than the diameter of the pin. I don't see any reason why the holes couldn't be a larger diameter, and I may actually drill them out with a fine drill to make the cotter pins easier to insert and remove.If there were no throttle and steering adjustments, it would be too twitchy to be fun, in my opinion. The adjustments make this car fit your reflexes and need for speed.Overall, I was very impressed. I think an 8-year-old could handle it, but it seems more appropriate for a teen or adult.

I purchased the 1/10 scale brushed motor version. I had read the reviews before ordering. I've also received obviously returned items before through Amazon. This arrived on time and upon opening everything up it appears new. I noticed the remote was different, but had the same functions, it also only takes 2 AA batteries instead of 3, No cloth bag either. Not a big deal. Everything else looks as it should. I did loctite the wheel nuts as I'd seen another review recommend it. It's currently charging up, will add more when it's been tested.update: Grandson(5) and I have had a couple of days to play with the car. He's had some experience with simpler RC cars and when given a choice of what vehicle he wants to play with, he goes for this one. The variable speed limiter allows him to drive it around normally, but I can still turn it up and let it fly. I don't know about the 30mph speed, but it does scoot. It handles suburban curbs with ease (not full speed T-bone, but slow/moderate speed will get it up and over), it plows through ankle high grass with ease, goes through an neighbor's calf high lawn if you don't slow it down. The only time it gets stuck is when it bottoms out and allows the wheels to spin without traction. I ran it around a few hours after a rainstorm, the streets were dry but the grass was slightly wet, it picked up a suprising amount of debris on the components inside the cover, it got a thorough cleaning and I had no puddles inside, but it was definitely wet/muddy in there, would not recommend puddles.The body shells appear pretty thin, but several rollovers haven't broken anything. The batteries are charging/discharging as expected. I like that there are multiple mounting points for the shocks. The wing connectors have multiple holes in their posts so you CAN snug them up so it doesn't rattle. The motor does warm up and I haven't run both batteries all out consecutively, but I don't think heat will be a problem. Shocks do not appear to be oil filled but they are very smooth, I set them up all them way compressed than backed off 5 turns, I also adjusted the front lower shock mount 1 place closer toward center, left the rear alone for present. The replacement part list is extensive. There was a $30 coupon for it when I purchased, $100 for a nice proportional RC car that's yard usable. Overall I think it's worth it, would do again.
