Our test: This product is on the border between a toy and a model. It is quite contradictory, because the body and its details, wheels and parts of the chassis will delight the eye of every modeller. metal frame, but all stressed and important parts of the drive are made of plastic, which predicts the short life of the model. The suspension is "bouncy", so the model bounces unnaturally when driving off-road. very primitive and everything feels cheap. The electromechanism (also semi-servo) of turning the wheels is weak, and depending on which production series was packed in the box, the turning of the wheels is proportional or non-proportional (worse case). But I have already met newer pieces equipped with a classic servo, which makes it much easier. rebuild the model and save about €10 for a new servo. USB chargers are cheap and expected to have a short lifespan.
To sum it up, I have to write that for a slightly more advanced modeller, this is an excellent and cheap basis for immediate improvement and conversion to a normal nice model. Just throw out all the electronics, mount a small servo control (only for the older production series), a normal ESC regulator 6 - 10A, and use a normal RC model kit. and with this model you will enjoy a lot of joy. On the other hand, if you only want to buy this as a toy for your 6-7 year old boy, then really don't expect anything better than an ordinary cheap Chinese toy that will break relatively quickly.
In conclusion, I would like to explain that we offer this product to modelers expressly as a semi-finished product for subsequent remodeling to a higher standard.
