DEERC H16R Brushless Fast RC Cars,1:16 52KM/H High Speed Remote Control Car,4X4 All Terrains RC Monster Truck,Waterproof Off-Road Hobby Electric Vehicle Car Gift for Adults Boys,2 Li-ion Batteries

I have had this car for a couple of weeks now, and I love it. But before the review, one note:A few days into owning the car, I flipped it onto snow and the body broke near one of the holes for the connector rods (see picture). I contacted DEERC, and after sharing a picture and my order number, they sent me a new body, free of charge (the one in the bag in the picture). It took about 2 weeks to arrive, but it did come from overseas. Overall, I am very pleased with the speed and efficiency of their customer service. If you buy this car, you can know that they will stand behind their product. Back to the review.This car is extremely powerful, quick, fast, tough (besides the body cracking), and fun. I have driven it through snow and got it wet inside, and it still has no problems, so it is definitely water resistant. It has 4 wheel drive with metal differentials, so the wheels can spin at different speeds to help with cornering. Also, the batter connects securely and has a strap to hold it in. I attached the optional wheelie bar to the back, as every time you floor it, it does a wheelie. There are 2 speed modes on the remote, 70 percent and 100 percent. I usually use it on 70, and it is still plenty fast and can do a wheelie. On 100 percent I clocked it at 22 mph with my phone attached to it as a speedometer (so probably more like 25 since my phone is heavy). The remote also has a steering trim adjustment, a throttle, a wheel to steer, and a button to turn on the headlight on the car (super bright at night). The range is probably about 100 feet (not super good, but not bad either). The car is small enough that by the time it is that far away, it is hard to tell which way it is facing. The car also has oil filled shocks that feel nice, and when you are going forward and push the reverse throttle, the car brakes to a stop without continuing to back up. Finally, the rear wheels on the car are slightly angled in, which I have read online helps to corner better.Included with the car is: the car, the car body, 2 batteries (I get almost 20 min out of each one), a charger, 8 connecting pins for the body (it uses 4 so 4 extra), a wheelie bar and screws to attach it, a hex tool, a screwdriver, and a manual.I have jumped this car, landed it upside down, rolled it, and had a lot of fun. The one piece that did crack was replaced free of charge, which proved they have good customer service. I highly recommend this car for anyone wanting to get into rc car hobbying without spending $300 for a traxxas or other name brand car. Great customer service and great product.

Buying and assembly experience: I bought the car as a gift for my son. The packaging, instructions and accessories were more than satisfactory. Extra battery and body clips came in handy as you tend to lose those!Performance: I was surprised with the sturdiness of the product! We made makeshift ramps and slopes for jumps in the backyard and this car took all the blows confidently. 100% speed is basically INSANE! My son and I were just ecstatic. The Oil filled shocks are especially good for going over the bumps and steering is pretty accurate and linear. The car worked really good for about 4-5 weeks.Issues: After 5 weeks, the basic motion of the car felt restricted like something was either broken in the driveshaft or motor was not working well. The battery started dying in few minutes or slow movement. I tried checking the battery connections and it was getting very hot every time we tried using the car.Customer service: I contacted them over the email and the call. I explained the issue over the phone and also sent photos and videos of what seems to be wrong. We both came to first conclusion that the motor may the issue. Without any hesitation, the customer rep sent over a new motor. Since it was coming from overseas, it took about 12 days to arrive but I was happy that they were very open to resolve the issue. I replaced the motor but the problem did not go away. I emailed them again and the rep said we will send over a new product and I can keep the damaged one as they could not fix the issue. I was more than happy to hear that! The new package came within a week and it's been working really good for last few weeks.Summary: The RC car is absolutely bang for the buck for every age. Really great performance and A++ ratings for the customer service. They really respond within few hours and actually want to help you instead of trying to find ways to get out of warranty fixes. Highly recommended!

Nice fast little car but I probably should have read the reviews because it seems a lot of people are having the same problem as I am. Had this car a week and on the second time running it, it started making a loud grinding sound. Called DeeRC customer service and they said it was the differential and they will send me new parts but it will take 15-20 days. Received notice that the parts were shipped (from China) and have received emails from DeeRC every day since I called them asking me if I am satisfied with the outcome of my call to them. As much as I appreciate good customer service I can't answer that question until I receive the part. I hope this is an upgraded part and not the same material as the original part because, from now reading the reviews, this will just keep happening without upgraded stronger material. I am new to this hobby and I am hooked. It just seems that they break so easily. Bought a Hyper go from Amazon a few months ago and the left front shock broke on the first run!! Returned it and Amazon lost it in transit somehow and about 8 phone calls later and a whole lot of aggravation later, after I gave up on even receiving my money back, I got my refund. I could go on and on about Amazon and their lousy customer service!! I know there are other, more expensive RC car makers out there that are less prone to break so easily but are there any out there that are not too expensive and actually get some running time before something minor happens and you can easily find replacement parts that are not too expensive? I'm hoping to receive this part, put it in the car and all is well but I have a feeling, especially after reading these reviews, that won't be the case. I will review more after I receive and install the replacement part.
