DEERC 9500E 1:16 Scale All Terrain RC Car, 4x4 High Speed 40 KPH RC Truck, 2.4Ghz Remote Control Truck with 2 Batteries, Off-Road Monster Truck for Adults Kids

For the price this truck is great on further review might not be that great. Raise the body post before you even run it. It runs way faster with the body raised. I also have seen videos where holes have been cut in back window of body to help with air flow. I have not done that yet worried that might weaken the shell. Shell is nice the spare tire and roof lights help protect shell when it rolls. Without them it would be lighter but again shell might take some damage. I have ran 5 battery lives through it and it has held up well with some pretty big crashes. The plastic pieces have lots of flex to them. These newer models only have 1 shell and charger just so you know. The original release had 2 each. Lights are good ran it at twilight last night and was impressed when ran during day didn't think much of them but in dark good. The top lights are a bit of a pain to hook up but when running during day I don't plug them in just hook the wire up in the clip inside the shell so it doesn't hang out of body. Also push the light bar down and push the clips through the 2nd hole in the post so the light bar doesn't rock around. All in all a great truck for the price thats the asterisk. Has good speed with the body lifted. The tires do rub the shell when it is lower. I might trim the wheel wells to eliminate the small amount of rubbing that still happens when turning. Good looking truck, my wife said wow when I 1st showed her so thats pretty high praise. Going to upgrade the battery for a little more power and speed but honestly as is its a good little truck for the $90 I paid. It is a little small for a 1:10 scale as others have noted but all in all I was happy with it. Adding to this run number 6 run front differential seems to have went out no more front wheel drive no hard bombing just driving around no big jumps or anything. Seems like alot to get in and actually see whats up with it going to have to take whole front end apart. This may or may not be worth really fixing might be just rear wheel till it dies. Okay revising again took dif apart looked okay. Replaced a axel going good again. So customer service got a hold of me and is sending some parts so thats cool. Truck is proving to be pretty durable and good customer service gets all 5 stars

This thing really surprised me. My kid has beaten it to death and so far it's held up really well. Battery life is fine, happy it came with two. Loads of fun...probably too much speed for a five year old, but that just adds to the fun.

Update 2: Support on their website was great! A new truck is in the way so now we’ll have a second one for parts. Can’t wait to get it back in the road! Update: Found the part that broke but now I can’t figure out where to get a new one. It’s fast. It’s fun. The lights look great! My 9yo and his 12yo brother are having a blast running it up and down the road jumping the driveway curbs. And it didn’t last more than a day without a crippling problem. We have a broken wheel and a wheel that won’t drive. Now I’m playing mechanic (and that’s not good.) If I have to buy parts and take it apart every day for my kid to drive it, I’ll be shopping for another brand. Hopefully I can figure out this drive issue and get it back on the road where it belongs.

So I bought this during the Black Friday sale for under 80 bucks total. I have been building and playing with RC cars for almost 40 years and have had some that are ridiculously fast and powerful. This thing might be the best deal I’ve ever seen for 80 dollars. It’s pretty darn fast, but has a speed setting if you want to slow it down for beginners. The batteries last for a while and charge via usb, it has lights which means you can play with it at night and know which end is the front in the dark…..It has really nice tires and RIPS through the grass and dirt with its 4WD. I can’t say how much abuse it can handle but it certainly was able to jump off my patio steps and land just fine (6 stone steps). The suspension is loose and keeps it from flipping when you make hard turns. The folks on here complaining about the suspension are clearly not RC car people….Trust me it’s good. It’s only been a few day a but it’s a total recommend so far.

Excellent produc for the

This is fun and fast. Easy to use. I think this is pretty reliable, I have jumped it and ran it in to things and it is holding up very well. I also like the fact that you can move the shocks on this one to make them higher or lower to get more ground clearance. The body clearance also has adjustment so you can make that higher or lower also. So this RC truck has some tinkering around with which makes it fun.

This plastic piece that controls part of the steering broke 30 seconds into first test drive ever. Didn't even crash into anything but a small pile of leaves. While driving it suddenly stopped turning. I thought maybe a leaf is stuck somewhere so I grab it and open it up and was shocked to see it was already broken. Going to contact customer support to hopefully get a replacement piece, but I have no idea how that's going to go. I just don't understand. My kids and I have been so excited for today to happen so we could all race our cars together, and it was absolutely ruined by this happening. Now we have to wait even longer, and for how long? Who knows. I will update this review after I'm done with the customer service situation and depending on how quick I get a replacement part. Aside from it breaking I cant say much because it was just not operable for less than 1 minute. I can say that it's fast as hell though, which is great! I saw some video reviews of the same model and it was very slow in those videos, so I was concerned. But that must be an older version. Update: I got in touch with customer service pretty quickly and without any BS. Theyre shipping a replacement kit. So far the customer service has been great!

To start off, I will say that I am a bit of a stickler for details and things working correctly. Not quite OCD, but perhaps on the threshold. Now, with that out of the way, on to the review! I purchased the Deerc 9201e because I was in the market for a short-course truck but, knew there had to be options for what my baby hobby budget would allow. So, after what seemed to be endless searching through YouTube reviews and Amazon rabbit holes, I came face to face with the 9201e. Ordering and arrival went off smoothly with the truck arriving in even less time than I had been quoted. *Quick note for the folks on the more aggressive side of that OCD stuff* It does appear to be a 12th scale, not a 10th scale car. But, as scale is relative to real-life counterparts and also the eye of the creator, it doesn't have to be a deal breaker. Bottoml line it's, pleasingly so. Out of the box you get two li-ion batteries which I thought were slightly unconventional, but the vehicle does use the widely popular Dean's T-plug, for which there are countless Li-po upgrades for. (Just don't go over 2s. Use ya brains people!) The electronics are rated for a max of 2s. That said, the stock battery life seems to be holding at a decent mark, between 15 and 20 minutes per pack. Charge time with the included wall charger is however, painfully slow. Would definitely recommend utilizing an aftermarket hobby-grade (compatible) charger, or have about four hours of random things to do while you wait for the packs to charge. Now, for the shocks I mentioned above. They. Are. BOUNCY. Not unfunctional, but very mmm... cartoonish. I could only take so much before I swapped in some 12th scale oil-filled Haiboxing shocks (not sponsored by Haiboxing, you guys rock though😎) World of difference. Now my main mention will be the spare tire that comes mounted on thr back of the body. Do yourself a favor, pull the pin that holds it and stash the whole setup in the box the vehicle comes in. Shaves off weight and stress on the body shell and you still have a spare tire if the vehicle should ever need it. Lastly, it took a few runs to pin down but on my unit, but the motor was mounted in a way that the small air vents, which would work in conjunction with the heatsink, were on the bottom of the motor, slap against the chassis. I resolved this by pulling it apart and removing the motor from its mount and flipping it so that the motor could breathe and benefit from the heatsink. Maybe a little extra eye on Quality Control there Dee, hmm? All in all, not a bad vehicle for what it is, considering what you pay. And shocks are an almost instant upgrade component if you ask me. As far as the radio goes, very good. Simple to understand controls and a chunky, robust feel. No issues with vehicle or radio to date. Updates will arrive as times fly. Peace.

It goes fast. Really fast. Has survived accidental head-on wall crashes. Does tricks.

Zippy car! My 12 yo LOVES it

Go and buy 1 right now. This is the toughest, fastest, best value & most inspiring RC car on the market today even after being on the market for over 3 years. You can change the tyres, buy new bodies, get all the spare parts you need & even replace the plastic spring shockers that are too soft on the front & too jumpy on the back with 1:16 oil shocks front & back to enhance performance VERY noticeably. If you're new to RC cars this is a terrific first buy. I hear you can use 3s Lipos for higher speed but risk motor damage too.

This car packs a punch! Everything is well-tuned, aside from the suspension which does not appear to have much oil so there is a quick rebound. However, I did tweak the suspension by raising the vehicle a little bit. Overall, FANTASTIC RC car. Handles great (i.e. does not roll over easily), great speed and power. Good quality build as well. Tons of FUN! Great value!

Cumple perfectamente con el objetivo de diversión, si eres principiante o no quieres gastar mucho es perfecto, fue un regalo para mi hijo y le encantó tiene un limitador de velocidad que funciona bien para él, aunque el mio vino con muy poco aceite en los amortiguadores tendré que comprar extra.
