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.

Fast, hard and dirty! Love this car. Good creature comfort controls, you can adjust speed output, steering, everything you need to have a great time with it! Easy shell to take off, lights look cool at night, fun to play with, comes with two batteries that tell you how much juice ya got left. Would definitely buy from them again, if I didn't already own it.

Son loves the car the only issue i have is the distance that the car can go and still work with the controller. Makes it difficult to race in a track at the camp site which is why he purchased. Outside of that it is a great car with great response and active change in speed which allowed him to learn and then ramp up the car speed.

I bought this to keep up with my grandkids and I'm pressed with the build quality and how fast this thing is! I like how the battery sits in the tray and how the front bumper and lower lights flash red when the battery is in need of a charge. The USB charger works well, but it does take around 4hrs to charge. It helps with the extra battery that's included.For the price, this is a great buy and would highly recommend.

Very good quality would buy more. It goes fast and my kids and husband have a blast with them! It's definitely worth the money that I paid for it! Battery life is very good also.

Just getting into budget RC 'car-ing' an having had 1 other and a new one now.... The accessories were lacking in comparison to other options, but it basically boils down 2 give n take. Steering seemed loose, yet better range of motion compared 2 'Fast- Send I swapped it for. Slightly better quality build, yet should've came with 3S batteries at least. Oil filled shocks are a + , yet friction shocks suit 'Fast-Send' bcuz much faster/heavier. Im not promoting 'Fast-Send' an its only day 3 with it. Though I will say I would prefer the DeeRc if it simply came with 3s batteries. We'll see

Fun little RC, yes there are faster models out there, however, this is fast enough to keep it fun. Everything worked out of the box, no issues. Fun on a budget!!!!!

Great RC vehicle! I have had a lot of fun with this, it is super durable, fast, and it looks great. The 4WD makes a huge difference on sand and gravel, where this really excels.
