DEERC 1205 1/14 Brushless RC Car for Adults,Max 43 mph,High Speed Electric 4x4 Off-Road RC Truck, Waterproof Monster Truggy, All Terrain Fast Remote Control Drift Car for Boys 8-12, 3S Lipo Compatible

I have several RC cars in the $100 to $250 range, and this is the one I recommend to everyone that asks me about them. I'm my opinion, THIS IS THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! There are cheaper ones that are not nearly as fun, and there are faster ones that cost way more and are not nearly as durable. No RC car is invincible, but this one is very close. The only time I have broken this one is when I slammed it into a city trash can at 29 mph (it's top speed on a 2S battery). And once I received the $8 part, it only took about 10 mins to fix it. This thing will do about 40 mph with a 3S battery, so it's very fast! It is wide, so it's very stable and easy to control. The ESC is pretty quick, so you have very good air control during jumps. This car is way more awesome than I expected for the price!

This is a superb rc car. It’s extremely fast and the steering is smooth. The color changing led lights it has are bright and livid. It handles nice. Customer support thru DEERC is great and if you message them on their website it takes no time to hear back. It takes off like a rocket and the wheelie bar prevents it from flipping at take off. They have all the extra accessories and replacement parts on their website at DEERC.com, which are reasonably priced. I am impressed by the performance and power of the car. It’s definitely worth every penny. DEERC is a great manufacturer of rc vehicles in my opinion.The parts for this model the 1611 are easily available on their website. Their customer service team is amazing and responds very quickly, they are very helpful and are very resourceful. DEERC is an amazing company and I will definitely be using them in the future. Thank you DEERC. I’m itching to take it back out!

Would be a 4/5 star product if it was more expensive, but I have to be fair and give it a 5/5 star rating based on price, features, and value. ****I paid for this vehicle with my own money and am not affiliated with the brand or Amazon.**** I've wanted a smaller 1/14 scale brushless truck for awhile but didn't really know what to go with. I also wanted something relatively cheap so I can beat it around and not feel bad for doing so. With the coupon and already fairly low price I think I paid just over 90 dollars after taxes. So far so good. I put about 20 battery cycles through it so I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how it currently is. I've never purchased Deerc products before (I did purchase a pink Deerc truck for the kiddo at the same time as this one) so I was going in blind, but the reviews seemed promising. I purchased it and a couple days later it arrived. First impressions were positive, the truck itself seems sturdy enough, all metal drivetrain which is a must for brushless, adjustable suspension components, decent sized tires, etc. The controller is ok, the steering wheel has a really stiff spring but it feels OK. Throttle trigger is good and it is kind of cool how you can change the color of two separate sets of LEDs on the truck itself from the transmitter. Kind of a gimmick but I'm into it. Throttle trim is good and linear, which I appreciate. 4wd system is great and offers plenty of traction, the diffs are fantastic and smooth. The whole drive train seems good which is a huge positive point. The batteries it comes with are 7.4 volt Li-ion. Not lipos so don't expect to hit speeds of 40+ mph out of the box. Ive noticed for some reason Deerc likes to use proprietary battery packs. And they designed the battery tray specifically for them. I don't really like that for hobby cars but they include two batteries so that's good. It claims to be 3s compatible and I'll try that out here soon but I wanted to give a review of it being (mostly) stock and out-of-the-box. The included batteries do allow it to hit some pretty impressive speeds, considering it's just 2s with a fairly low amp rating. You definitely want to install the wheelie bar, it will easily pull wheelies with a fresh battery. And 4 wheel burnouts. Battery doesn't last all that long though, maybe 18 minutes. But you'll definitely have fun during those 18 minutes. Plus you get two so call it 40 minutes of play time. The steering servo is a little under powered but its adequate. I'm probably just used to other brands of servo motors so I'm a tad biased. The components seem pretty tough, at least at 2s speeds. I've crashed it into things (some on purpose, some on accident) and nothing has broken so far. Even the body shell has held up fine, which surprised me. The chassis is not metal, its very chunky plastic or nylon, but that's not really an issue. It feels more than strong enough. Not sure why but they use Phillips head screws to hold everything together, but they do the job and I guess make it easier for some people to work on? I like hex screws but maybe its more just a ritual thing for me. When you're driving it around it does feel snappy, but the short wheel base makes it very easy to flip, especially on grass. Oh and speaking of grass, with the included tires, it easily handles grass, gravel, asphalt, sand, concrete, rocky terrain, hills, and wet environments. I drove it though standing water and soaked every component and it still worked, so no complaints there. Range seems fine, I've had it over 150 feet away and it never lost connection or anything. And the control response feels immediate, no delay or dead spots. I tried putting smaller buggy tires on it to see how it was and honestly I like it so much better this way. Its almost like a rally car. So I'll probably keep it in that configuration until I get it set up to accommodate a 3s lipo cell. Even then I'll probably keep it with buggy tires. I just really like how it handles and looks with them on it compared to the monster truck tires. Would I buy this again? Maybe, if it was still on sale. But probably only then. However, for under 100 dollars delivered, I was pleasantly surprised with this little truck. I do think anyone who's starting to get into the RC vehicle hobby would genuinely enjoy this truck. Just maybe put smaller tires on it, and I really wish Deerc would stop setting up their vehicles with these proprietary batteries. Other than that, I'm starting to like this brand. Would definitely recommend.

The only reason I didn’t put five stars is because of the durability of the steering columns. They seem to break easily when hitting the curbs. The car was very very fast and my son and I loved it. I would purchase again. The case was held together by clips, so be careful not to lose the clips. The battery life was very good and lasted for 30 minutes to an hour. Very fun for my nine-year-old son. I would recommend this to kids nine years and older. I think this car functioned very very well for the price. The size of the car was perfect for the speed.

Great vehicle. Relatively durable when my dog grabbed it. Super fast and great for short grass or asphalt. It also is the best on dirt in general. Very fun would recommend.

Wow this thing is crazy fast with speeds close to 50mph with 3S Lippo battery. To unlock fast mode after you power on you must press power button(red button) 5 times every time you put a 3s battery in it. I recommend Ovonic 3S Shorty Pack with Dean Connector what I use. Very cool having lights front, rear, top, also underglow with 8 colors to choose from. You can turn lights off during day time accept light on top of body. For kids you can dial down speed on controller. 4double batteries not included. The 2 batteries it comes with are plenty fast 30mph which is ideal for jumping ramps and off road. I only use 3s for running up and down the street. Oil filled shocks are adjustable and handle well for 1/14 scale. I recommend to Dremel out battery tray like I did to fit 3s battery pack in, fits great when done. I highly recommend for kid or adult. Also I like that the roof of the shell has skid bars. Its gonna flip alot with 3s battery in it! One thing that stunk was one of the provider batteries had a dead cell and would not charge. When I called Amazon no option to get replacement battery so they credited me $21 making my total cost $80. Then I called Deerc and told them what happened and they are sending me rush delivery a replacement battery. That's great customer service. Update:Had issue with rear shock and called Deerc direct again and they are sending me out another pair. Got battery in super fast 2 days! The battery they upgraded to a 3S! Phenomenal customer service and this won't be my last rc from them!

Ok so first off don't believe the ad claiming speed's of 31 on 2s and 43 on 3s this thing falls way short of that claim realistically 21 - 33 mph on 2 and 3s about 10mph short, it is quick though with a lot of gear noise I don't believe the gears are set up correctly mine started making a loud clicking noise after 2 battery packs and continues to get worse, then there's the horrible steering it has a weak servo at full throttle there is just no steering and the tires do not provide any grip and wear very quickly but at least they give you another set so that's nice except for the body rub but you can adjust the body post to remedy that. Don't expect to drive in thick grass at all has very little clearance cause of the small tires . A kid would have fun with it but not sure on longevity because of the issue with the gears. Oh and when running a 3s battery be careful it can fly out because of the design of the battery compartment not for standard batteries. Almost forgot idk why they only have half the head on the passenger lol also important note the wires to the under glow lights look like they're starting to melt a bit!

Love this one. It's fast as hell. You won't be disappointed

Me gustó el carrito rc; es veloz, las pilas duran bastante tiempo, aproximadamente 30 minutos nivel medio y se tardan unas 4 horas cada pila en cargar. Lo he ocupado en terracería y en playa; sin embargo, creo que es elevado el precio para la calidad de los plásticos del producto y los amortiguadores, se les sale el aceite que llevan

Loved it, Goes extremely fast than I thought. I just wish there were more extra clips to lock the body to the car cause I have already lost one clip when I went offroad

Wow was really surprised with the power and speed of this little rc truck, especially in high speed mode. The quality seems real good i was quite hard on it and it took everything.

I've had a play today, it's so much fun. I recommend it after playing to batteries time worth. It arrived fast and on time as it said it would. Haven't done any crazy stunts yet.

Great little RC car, fun durable looks good and seems to have the potential for a few upgrades. Can’t beat it for the price. I already invested in a 3S Lipo battery which increased the speed of the motor and how long you can play before needing to charge the battery. Also have other minor modifications planned. It’s given my son and I a fun hobby to bond over.Highly recommended.
