RIAARIO1/14 Brushelss RC Cars, RC Truck, 45+ MPH, 4WD, Waterproof, Grey, Ages 8+

Have been using this little RC basher for a month now, other reviews are right, like all Chinese rc brands this one is smaller that it should be, also the electronics came lose and had to secure in place, I highly recommend checking and tightening wheel nuts and all of the screws and bolts before the first run. This is my first proper rc basher since I only have had rc cars that would be consider toys for kids, even though I am not a hard driver I would consider it to be really durable, have had a few frontal crashes, lands directly on one wheel and a lot of driving through wet grass, it handled everything like a champ and haven’t had any issues, for a first rc car I would say it is an excellent option for the money, really fast, brushless motor, powerful battery (but only came with 1), the only downsides I see is the limited availability of parts and aftermarket support, also the charger is the worst, feels and looks incredibly cheap and start having issues after 3 o 4 recharges, I am already looking to buy a decent one

I absolutely love this thing i have about 9 different rc cars this one is now my my go to i leave in the car to just rip when ever. I put an ovonic 3s lipo and it just wheelies better than anything else i have i have flipped it several times because of how fast this car is and grippy the tires and brakes are. Only downside is the body clips just keep coming off. Please spend the money on this car it will be worth it 100% i would buy 5 if there was a point

This is one of my Favorite RC vehicles. Its tough and fast. The only negative is the poor sicky tape used for the ESC, other than that this thing is a beast. Its a great stunt truck it will wheelie like crazy at full speed even on 2s, backflips are no problem off a proper ramp. True it's technically small for a 1/14th scale but its based off a 1/14 buggy Chassis, so i gave it a pass. The breaks are a bit heavy handed and will take a bit to get used to, but they help with front flips. The stock Battery seems to last forever 20-30mins+. This i a great starting point for someone new to the hobby or any enthusiast. The transmitter/controller has a speed control dial 1-100, out of the box its set to 75, which is still plenty fast.Replacement parts are available if you know what you are looking for. Most WLToys 144XX will fit, for the parts that dont look for the Rlaarlo version of it on their site ModelRLX-1400X will work.* the "X" is a variable or a fill in the blank.

Arrma definitely loss on this as being an official Kraton Grom.This Truck made it thru same bashing and bad landings from jumps abuse as Larger scale twins.oh yeah lots customer support with Amazon, hopups and standard parts available.

Yes, you read that correctly, compared to a lot of other brands this isn’t a 1/14 scale MT, but a 1/16 scale with larger than average tires. Like others have mentioned in previous reviews, the electronics will be loose from the double sided tape they’re using, which is crap. Those issues aside, this is by far the best 1/16 scale I’ve tried. The transmitter, and receiver are legit, the servo is located in a good location, and adequate for the car with metal gearing. Pictures next to my MJX 16208 for size comparison, the MJX suffers from poor steering, servo, servo location and adjustment, coupled with a crap transmitter and receiver. Has beefier components, and a clip less body design that I like.**Update**After having this little truck for some time now, I have to remove my original 5 star review. It’s now an absolute necessary one star. My front drive shaft, which is separated from the rear, completely came apart, luckily it fell into the bottom of the housing and didn’t do any major damage to the other larger gear. The design of this part has two ball bearings attached and cannot be removed, so if a bearing goes out also the whole part will have to be replaced. My major issue is the part I need replaced isn’t even in the owners manual as they just reused the brushless versions manual, which has a solid drive shaft from the rear to the front and not connected with a dogbone like mine. On rlaarlo’s website you can only find a few part replacements for this model. The part I need and many others, are not listed. Reaching out to them by email, I had hoped to get a new replacement part. I included exact pictures of the broken part. The first time they sent a replacement, the part I received wasn’t even for my vehicle, and wasn’t even close to what I had shown them in the pictures I sent them. Mind you it took 3 weeks to receive the wrong part. Since then they have sent me the wrong part three more times. Over the course of three months. At least these parts were for the same vehicle. I have sent another email out and have not heard back again. I don’t like the fact they don’t have parts available for a recent model and how long it takes to get them, I don’t like that my owners manual shows a different model with different parts, I don’t like the fact they keep sending me the wrong parts even with pictures. I cannot recommend and won’t be purchasing anything else from this company. I highly recommend you look past this company, as once something breaks, and it will as most RC cars do. At least with HyperGo you can find tons of parts and aftermarket offerings. I’d still suggest paying the extra and going with Arrma, Losi, Team Associate, Traxxas, etc.
