Tracer 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.

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.

Bought this for my son as he wanted a remote control car and wanted him to have something a bit more special than the run of the mill junk from your average toy store ..... What a great decision, this little monster has brought countless hours of fun , easy to get up and running , battery life is ok get around 20 minutes on average so if you want longer sessions then picking up an extra battery could be an option ,but otherwise no complaints . Really responsive and has good speed , steering is on point and feels like a little powerhouse on dirt and even fairly thick grass. Durability wise this thing has taken a beaten from doing flips on a skate park to making jumps through the woods , and now even the dog likes to join in and play chase with it . My only minor gripe is the pins that hold the shell over the chassis for some reason on mine seem to vanish after a long session, easy enough to replace but just a gripe that they seem to pop out every now and again . But otherwise nothing to complain about and would highly recommend to go for something like this rather than something cheap that's going to end in the bin or broke after a few uses .

Can’t rye this enough for a low cost great bit of go anywhere fun for young kids (has slow mode so they can learn) and grown ups. Takes massive bashing and falls and crashes and survives without a scratch. Quite remarkable for the cost.

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!

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.

The best beginners RC !
