RC Cars Mini 1:8 RC Truck for Adults, Vortan RTR Brushless RC Cars Fast 50+mph All Terrain 4WD Remote Control Car Hobby Waterproof RC Car Electric Off-Road Monster Trucks with 3S Battery

So, I've just recently gotten into the RC car hobby. So this is my first real RC car purchase. I'm going to start with the cons because they're so few. The first con the cars listed as a 1/8 scale however actual size is about a good 1/10 scale car. The second con is that the differentials need better lubrication and thicker fluid to be more effective. Which leads me to the third con which is that the screws for this car are all Phillips head screws and they use a small 2.5 mm Phillips head I believe. While most of the screws are easy to remove when it comes to the differential especially the center differential very extremely difficult you have to heat the metal differential case with either a heat gun or a small torch and use a hammer to hammer the screwdriver into the screw to help break the red lock that they use but once you get them loose you can get right into the differential cases. Then again with the differentials themselves they have kind of screws or Phillips head and you have to be extremely careful and the slow and patient to get the screws loose once you get them open though the differentials are made of solid metal they are really well built and personally I used a silicone earplug to cram in the middle differential to center differential and basically lock it up. The front I didn't really change anything in the rear I added just a little bit of the earplug to give it some protection and to make it a little bit stiffer Don't overdo it it's easy to do. And that's about all the cons I have. Okay the last time is ready is a 3S battery 2600 mah it goes really fast and it uses a special size battery which has been extremely difficult for me to find in a decent milliamp hour battery but it will take a 4S lipo and you can raise the body so if you have to use a 4S lipo you can use a full size LiPo and just strap it to the center brace. Now for the positives. This car is extremely well built!! I have bashed this car off of ramps 20-30 ft in the air I have smacked it into walls I am a terrible driver but this thing has taken every bit of the abuse. It took some time it took some effort it actually took me going into it a couple of times taking it apart and getting frustrated putting it back together and taking it back apart and eventually getting it to the point where I was able to get into the differentials and I was able to put grief and earplugs and other things in the differentials to get them to work better and subsequently made it a lot more fun to drive even though it was a ton of fun beforehand it's even more fun now. It's got great speed and that's on a 3S battery it will actually hold a 4S battery just fine I haven't gotten one yet but I'm working on that. The car looks mean and tough as hell it's got great tires with great grip they're a little bit soft so they do balloon because of the speed a little bit but not so bad that it's uncontrollable. So overall the car is at 9 out of 10 for me I would give it a 10 out of 10 if it was the right size but it is a good size for a 1/10 scale. But the best part of all has been my experience with customer service and the team of customer service agents that are at Hosim. As I stated earlier it is difficult to get into different parts of the car especially if you are new and have never taken apart or built an RC car before and so as I was getting into a couple of different areas unfortunately I stripped the Phillips head off of one of the screws and I ended up having to use a drill bit extractor kit to remove one of the screws in the center differential case and then even had the same problem with one of the differentials itself and when I reached out to customer service and the warranty department they were extremely helpful they gave me tips on how to get into things better which did help me and is why I ultimately was able to get into them all the way. they also asked me what I needed and they were willing to replace any piece and every piece that I said was needing to be replaced even though I'm the one that messed it up trying to get into it. ultimately I only had them replace one front differential and the front two lower control arms seemed to be a little bit loose for me which caused my drive shaft on the driver side to pop out when I hit a small bump smaller bump. But I didn't feel like that was something that was even enough to take away a star from this car because it probably just needed to be tightened up but Even knowing that customer service offered to replace both lower control arms as well as the front differential and anything else I want to replace I'm not greedy so I only had them replace what I really truly think needed replaced under warranty anything else I will handle myself. So overall my customer service experience has been a 10 out of 10 I would recommend this car to anybody new to the hobby or even someone who's been in the hobby for quite some time looking for a good cheap car to bash and have a good time with at the price of this car you absolutely cannot beat them quality the customer service experience and the amount of fun that you'll have thanks to Hosim for making my debut into the RC car hobby world a fantastic experience I plan on getting the other two cars in this line I believe one is called the veccaro and one is called the venom but one is red one is green I think they have pretty much the same internal components that the X25 has. If you're on the fence and you're wondering if you should pull the trigger and spend the money think no more get your wallet out and get one of these bad boys ordered and bash!!!!

Broke the front axel the 2nd time it was used

I recently picked up the Hosim 1/8 Scale RC Car, and honestly, it’s been a blast! As a newbie to RC cars, I wanted something easy to handle but tough enough to take some hits, and this one didn’t disappoint. It’s super fast—up to 46 km/h—which was a bit wild at first, but once I got used to it, I loved the thrill. The build feels solid; it has these great shock absorbers and sturdy tires that can handle dirt, rocks, and even small jumps without a hitch. I’ve accidentally crashed it a few times, and it barely shows any wear! Overall, it’s perfect for someone like me, who’s just getting started but still wants a powerful, fun RC car. On top of all it is a big car look at the comparison in the pictures it’s much bigger than 1/10 scale RCs.

Love it

Honestly don't know where to begin. This truck is awesome from front to back. I love the new helical differential it is so smooth. I couldn't wait for the battery to charge so I just ran it and it rips can't wait to try it with a fully charged battery aluminum chassis huge beefy Big Bore oil-filled shocks fully adjustable front and rear turn buckles big beefy chassis brace nice big powerful 3s motor with cooling fan 85 amp ESC with cooling fan. This truck comes ready to go right out the box big beefy 3s 2600 mAh battery with strap. Dean's connections which are some of the best. Nice bright front LED light bar . The remote has speed dial so you can adjust it if you're a beginner from about 5 mph up to I'd say in the 40s fully charged. It took the jump onto the mattress perfectly I ripped it through the yard and it was just like floating on on water. Comes with extra body clips screwdriver T handle to get your wheel nuts off extra battery strap nice manual. This truck is well built. I have trucks ranging from a cheap $70 AZ special all the way up to a $1,500 Rovan XLT 45 and I'm impressed I put it next to the 1/8 scale python 3s BLX and it is pretty darn close as you can see in the pictures this truck rips. Can't wait to let my boy try it luckily this weekend is going to be perfect probably the last night we can we're going to have before winter up here in Buffalo. This would make an awesome winter gift throw some paddles on this and this will throw some snow I love the new helical differential it's so smooth it's different you can feel it through the controller. Definitely exceeded my expectations
