DeeRC 9201e: Budget SCT Fun! 👌
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- The DeeRC 9201e 4x4 Brushed 1:10 Short Course Truck (available here amzn.to/3FixPXj ) is the cheapest RC car in our 8-way comparison series of Desert Trucks and SCTs. It's less than a fifth the price of the two most expensive models in the series (links are below to all of them).
When things are this cheap in an RTR, is it worth buying or can it simply not be made to last and perform like even the cheapest 'big name' brands here? I'm genuinely curious to find out, and if you are too, you'd better join me for this one!
Let's test!
Buy here: amzn.to/3FixPXj
(I don't currently have a coupon from DeeRC, but on the sales page I see there's a check-box for 10% off at time of publication. Look out for sales if you're reading this in future, as I understand they do them numerous times a year.)

13:55 "cant' go fast enough to get itself into trouble" I think that's part of the plan! Everyone IMO is so wrapped up in faster faster faster that all that power makes them unmanageable. A well balanced vehicle with enough speed to be fun until you get your skill level up. I watched a KT video where a kid went up against KT and his buddies with their over powered monsters and he won because all they did was wheelie and backflip all over the place.....
edit: on your track, it wasn't the fastest but you did get all the way around without going off into the rhubarb 4 times per lap! hahaha
There is definitely a sweet spot. Many vehicles are silly powerful. This one falls a bit short but it's not too far from the mark for what it's design should deliver. Good point.
For the most part I agree with you. Too many people are like Ricky Bobby and just want to go fast. But they drive their rigs into rocks, trees, curbs, cars, any thing that breaks rigs. However, if they are a more dedicated driver, if they have race rigs or something more specialized, then I can get behind the faster is better mentality. I have a rig that can hit triple digits in prime conditions. But I have others that max out at 25 and are just as fun in their own rights. A good transmitter can help with control, quite significantly. So I can see both sides of the fence here. But yeah, too many people go faster than they can drive.
Well that's "well balanced" for you, and not silly powerful! If it puts a smile on your face, it's the right amount of power 😁
@@RCTNT amen to that. As long as you’re having fun that’s what it’s all about.
@@RCTNT you got it. Like all these car makers advertising 450 500 700 900 hp.
Yeah, like how often are you really going to be able to use that? Like once a year? and then they have to turn on traction control to prevent them spinning out into the Rhubarb around a telephone pole. "do you know what traction control does? disrupts the ignition to hobble the engine until it gets traction" lol....
Thank you for the size comparison
I dont have this truck but I got WLToys 12428 that I've modified the heck of, and it's a performer. I kept the stock 540 brushed motor, added oil to the shocks, modified the front shock mounts and added sway bars all around. Just like the WPL models, these cheap trucks are a good way to learn modification and fabrication techniques. The hobby is what you make it to be FOR YOU, and not necessarily $$$ you throw at to get the performance...especially in these tough days when you got to make a choice between feeding your family or buying toys for fun.
Fair enough, yeah. You do get a lot of truck for the money here and you can mod it how you like. Glad you're enjoying your wpl 👍
I just subscribed a day or two ago, I’m super impressed by your subscriber base. So far I haven’t seen a ton of elitist type comments. Everyone is all about having fun. Run what you brung. I dig this channel. You have awesome vids too my man.
Thank you very much! And yes totally on the community here, the comments section has been a really positive place to be 😊
Keep up the great non-biased reviews. I just bought my first Short Course Truck based on them. On this vid I had my suspicions, but scale is in the eye of the manufacture, I guess.
I'm glad these are helpful, thank you for the feedback!
Apart from there being no oil in the shocks, and I can't quite believe that's done to save money, I really like this little car. It's perfect for someone getting into the hobby, and again, the smiles per mile/ pound/ dollar is great. Looks great, too. 😎👍🏻
I don't know what was going on with the oil but I think you can reasonably expect to find oil in most of these. Maybe it was just overlooked in this one, I dunno!
@@RCTNT I sometimes wonder if it's not put in as it might leak out, if it's transported by air, with the pressure changes? Who knows?! 🤷🏻♂️
@roblowrie1969 could be, though they do advertise it as having oil filled shocks. I suspect it was just an oversight.
Took me a bit to get through 3 hours of live stream before this, lol!
All these good and inexpensive options are seriously making me consider breaking my “kits only” rule.
You're telling me! It was a bit of a haul, eh! Packed a bit into it and was a great experience overall :) Thanks for joining in.
If you have a kits-only rule, you'll be missing out on some epic machines for sure. And this one, too, yes.
You could always pull one apart and rebuild it. Not quite the same tho :p
Loved the "ads" for the truck. As the ad said, it looks good enough for a cheap bash and laugh around the yard. The whole scale thing tweaks my OCD a bit but some people tend to exaggerate when it comes size of things. It is what it is. Thanks for the review and Take Care!
AWWWW YEEEAAAH!
On 3S she tops out at 27 MPH on a partially depleted battery. I have faith she can break 30 with full beans available.
Haha nice, go hard!
Enjoying these SCT videos. I received my SC10 too by the way. I couldn't be happer with it!! Great recommendation!!
Ah that's great! Happy driving!
The body's in the way because that is only a short course in name. Dimensions are way off. Looks fun regardless. Just cut the fenders out, it already looks like a stadium truck.
Can't argue with any of that!
Great review, as always, Craig! I do wish that all the manufacturers could agree on a standard when it comes to scale. But that's me being selfish. I want everything to be able to be interchangeable. 😂
That's fair enough. The TRX4m size seems confusing to many, especially when next to a utb18!
Nice video❤
No doubt, that chinese is 1:12👍
The Baja Rey is technically a 1/8. The Senton/Slash are true 1/10, and the Mojave and Baja Rey are quite a bit larger. Kinda weird how there isn't a "standardized scale chart" for buggies, trophy trucks, monster trucks, on road, etc.
(For example: 1/10 short course is around 13 inch wheelbase, whereas a buggy with a 13 inch wheelbase would be considered 1/8 scale.)
That's another way of putting it (I didn't want to get into the maths of it like I've done in previous videos about trucks or smaller rigs, but you're exactly right, yes!). This car is listed in a misleading way, basically. I think that's the point. Whether you're okay with that or not is up to you, of course - but I wanted to help it to be an informed decision at least! Cheers
@@RCTNT absolutely! 👍👍
Your reviews are appreciated I have the Mojave 6s ,Fireteam , Rustler 4x4 vxl and I was going to get the Mojave 4s but I’m thinking of the Losi in the Eisenberg edition or getting the Keyosho Toyota Tacoma basher which I’m hoping you get it to review. Or a review of the new Traxxas Raptor I’ve seen some reviews & it’s fast & looked fun.
Nice one. I'm glad to be useful! So, the Traxxas Raptor is basically one of the updated Slash 4x4 VXL variants, I think (?) - I haven't really looked closely at it yet, but if you like your Rustler then you'll probably like the Raptor. Main difference will be the skinnier wheels and lower CoG, I'm guessing. Meanwhile, the Losi BR2.0 will be more a scale driver than the bash-oriented rigs you already have, and maybe that'd be nice. I'll get to driving mine soon! Lastly, the Kyosho Tacoma may end up on my workbench. It won't be soon, but I'll look into it in the new year and we'll see. Cheers :)
Pretty sure they called it 1/10th as compared to other 1/10th scale RC they had like it and not the SCT trucks its based on. Dont forget that a Slash is also a 1/10 scale because its 1/10th the scale of the real truck however in RC world its the same size as a 1/8th scale. Why its a bit larger than 1/10th scale crawlers and they even make kits that can turn them into 1/8th scale buggies. The DeeRC is a RC based 1/10th scale truck. The Arrma Mojave is a RC based 1/8th scale truck. The others are a 1/10th scale based not on RC but a SCT truck.
Looks like a good truck for my young grandsons. Fun without crazy speed.......and cheap!
Hopefully, yes. I don't know about longevity yet as I obviously haven't used it for 20 or 30 packs, but it seems like a decent enough thing for the money, yeah!
Nice video. The scale in RCs is an interesting topic. I would call that a 1/14 scale. It's nowhere near a 1/10. Looks decent for what it is tough but very misleading to sell it as a 1/10. I personally don't want to support companies that are selling products with false claims .
It is misleading, yes. Your feelings are understandable.
In case if I did break any parts, are they readily available on Amazon or Bangood?
That's a great question. I really don't know. I will say motor and servo are easily enough replaced, and links and shafts won't be hard to do. If you kill the body you'll probably need something else, but that also isn't too bad. Bearings are pretty universal too.
Really, the only concern will be hinge pin brace, castor blocks, hub carriers and A-arms. I'm not sure, sorry.
The good news is, this car doesn't really go hard enough to break them except in a freak accident, and you'll probably have gotten your money's worth by the time things start early wearing down. Hopefully!
"aww yeah!" 😆😂😁
Pretty decent value isn't it
@@RCTNTYeah, for what it is. I had this one saved on my wish list a while back, but I really would like to save up for a Baja Rey. That truck is just amazing and worth the coin.
4:45 "don't know what the seals will be like" well go down to the beach and see some in real life! Harbor ones are great!!!
You're just being sealy now
@@RCTNT ha! that's fretty punny!
🖐😁👍
Nice sharing my friend
Big like ✌️
Thank you very much!
To be fair...1/10 sct are the same size as a 1/8 buggy. Something isn't right with the acales here lol
It's this car, I think. It's not really a SCT, but it's trying to be!
nowhere on the box does it claim to be 3S-capable. I just put a 3S battery in mine and nothing terrible has happened yet. it has way more punch now, so much that I dialed the throttle back so that I don't detonate the transmission
oh and there is in fact a tiny amount of oil in the shocks from the factory. I don't understand, was this a cost-saving measure? anyway I filled the shocks the rest of the way up with 50 weight silicone oil and now the suspension is decently firm. the shocks are all plastic so I expect then they're going to explode 😭
I get quite a few RTR models here with empty shocks. Inattentive installer or cost saving decision? Dunno! Either way it's better with oil, yes!
The motor will take 12v as long as it doesn't overheat. The esc will be the weak point. Glad it's holding up!
@@RCTNT well it just survived its first 2200mah of 3S. the motor got hot enough to smell but after a cool down it's fine. after I puttered around for a little bit, I did give it one full beans launch and god damn did that thing take off. almost lost control of it. I think it's close to hitting the advertised 48km/30mph. probably closer to 25 mph, which seems crazy fast to me. I'm really glad I fixed the shocks first, the original configuration would've been out of control with the extra power.
@rtpfixit you could always buy a heat sink for the motor, that would stop it getting so hot. May not fully save it, but it might be enough.
@@RCTNT good point, it does actually have a heat sink but it feels like about 1 gram of aluminum. normally I'd be thinking copper but maybe that would be bad close to the windings of a strong electric motor? I've got a lot of room around the motor and under the body shell, inches. any recommendations for beefy motor heat sinks?
@rtpfixit just more surface area, so something with fins. There are heaps for sale, just gotta chuck the sleeve that's on it and get the right size heat sink for this can size. They're typically aluminium in construction.
Bigger is better, but I’m cheep
Haha right, that's a difficult combination then! The smaller stuff is often cheaper!
Love ur videos
Thanks!
$100 bucks??? Where can you buy it for that money, cheapest I've seen it for is $159
USD$99 at time of video creation, from memory. I put the link in the description to the mob who sent it to me for review. Haven't checked it still works in a while tho.
Senton 3s is my favorite 1/10 short course but the Mojave 6s is my favorite overall
My favorite is actually the UDR but it’s hard too admit it lol
3 favourites in one statement... I translated that to "I love them all"
Well said.
@@RCTNT haha yes and don’t even get me started with the truggies lol
