Make it a series... 40 dollars for a two wheel drive buggy was not enough, but how much before you get a decent experience? How much before you get a great experience and how much is maybe over the top? Could make a fun series that might help some with no experience to the Hobby.
We got our youngest son this exact car to match our Tyco Heads-up buggy the one everyone wants, and the red New Bright F150. This is a great match to old school toy grade rc cars. But then again we run both hobby grade and toy grade it's fun as a family.
I thought about getting one of these for Grayson to learn how to modify. A cheap surpass brushless system and a servo would really wake it up, but at that amount you can buy a rising fighter from Tamiya and have a legit buggy
I got one on mark down. I love it. If you want big air,use a taller ramp and go up backwards. It landed on all four like a cat, so I kept going backwards. Fast in reverse Hey it's cheap fun.
Got one used for $20 just as a project. The rear skid plate is the reason the rear is locked in place. The springs on the shocks are rock hard front and back. Glad I did not spend 40
I got this for Christmas 😂 I’m starting to put spare parts I have laying around on it to see if it gets any better. Oil filled shocks on the front and some hex adapter for some larger tires for now 😂 funny to see it on your channel
I just bought this RC it’s cost efficient and doesn’t brake the bank and does what I expect it to do I can give to shits if anybody wants to go spend hundreds on their toy that’s gonna collect dust
For $49.99 you can get a awesome fast mini 4x4 basher. The Laegendary 9145. Normally they have the worst prices I'd never reccomend, but the truck is actually fun and $49.99 and now you can get replacement axles for $7 all on Amazon. I reccomend getting extra front and rear axles when you get the truck so you're prepared. Lots of fun tho
Truthfully member when whe had wired controls. Can't complain we are very lucky 😊 just for wireless. Good old days. Love your experience brother you been killing it forever.
I’m glad someone legit did a review on this thing. It needs much improvement,too much. I like upgrading cheap stuff that has potential like the blaze buggy but this is a dead horse.
For about $60.00 more (give or take a few bucks) you can pick up a Tamiya Grass Hopper or a hornet. They are a lot of fun and can replace parts if they break.
My brother had one way back when. Lol. They are an easy build. Kinda falls into the " functional model" but upgradeable. Oh and you get to put some RC " history" on e shelf. Lol. Side note.... I think the Hornet has a couple different features.
I just got started with the rc community and i think these rc cars are good for beginners, but i have this and im slowly upgrading it, i like the oldschool style alot
I would say you are just under the threshold of decent bashing buggy toy at that price. I got a $70 18th scale awd one a few years back that is actually fun, like a mini Exo Terra. Proportional steering and throttle. I'm guessing 60 is the lowest you'll find any hobby level components in what may appear to be a toy otherwise.
Brand-spanking New to this hobby, (only just noticed this toy @ WW the other day [April 2024] & almost bought one), and, after a quick research learned about toy-grade vs. hobby-grade and the benefit of “proportional steering.” Nonetheless, this toy IMO, is a fun, affordable, entry-level RC car. 🏎 😎
when i was 8 rc was new to the world . 1982 i had wired to car from ames there was no rc stores . only place i new of was at a gun store and they had the super champ $150 for a roller . it was all most $400 for everything to drive one !
For $40 🤷🏼♂️ I have a 6 and 8 year old. If they weren’t spoiled by mine ha they would enjoy this. It can actually be driven outside ha. The RC’s I got for Christmas at that age in the late 90’s were reverse to steer ones lol. Something like a tamiya was WAY out of reach for my fam.
Poor children who get this as a present! It doesn't even need Li-Ions. Ni-Mh would make it much safer to handle for beginners and also it would reach that miniscule speed.
Lmao. I picked one up at Walmart on clearance for $15 and still felt ripped off. That rear is definitely a suspension system. A non functional one, lol. For $40 you can get an almost decent Chinese Amazon 1/16 scale that is sorta fun ish.
Not sure if you caught it but it is a copy of a HPI Baja 5b LMAO! But they touch on something cool because a legitimate hobby grade 1/8 scale Nitro Baja 5b would be epic! Just saying! ✌️😎👍
😈😈😈😈♻️♻️♻️♻️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not for me too cheap for my liking need a man rc maybe you should take the traxxas X Maxx and smash that little toy love your videos and stay safe
Uhhh, yeah... that's a HARD pass for me. Hell, I'd rather have a Traxxas Bandit or something of that nature than this dumpster filling. But brother, we all appreciate you taking one for the team, though. LOL Thanks for the awesome videos and I LOVE your crawler course. I want to build me one something like it. Keep up the great work.
With upgraded electronics, suspension, chassis, wheels, body, drivetrain and hardware, this thing will be almost mint. 👌
But that's a whole different rc
@@redndeyes thats the joke
😂😂😂
Only if you squint, though. LOL
Some poor child will receive this as a (gift)
im laughing too hard at this
Glad I got the stinger buggy for $50 when it was on sale lol. I should add, thanks to you lol. Appreciate the video on it
Difference between toy grade & Hobby grade is immense!
Ah the days of Tamiya 'auto toe in/out'!😳🤪🤷♂️😂😂😂
And comparing Toy Grade to Competition Grade is like comparing a Paper airplane to the SR-71.

That just makes the Jegs Stinger look even better. LOL
It’s a 1/8 so it’s good for a hobbywing max8 system lol
Could be a fun project lol

This will be good for kids under 8 to help develop their hand eye coordination
I have a one toycar like and no remote controller im kindly asking where to buy the remote controller

Yeah it’s lacking so much.
I thought it was a rovan 😂 for 40 bucks better than any jada toys of the same price why not try to upgrade that thing 😂

you should bring that to a hobby shop that doesnt know you and tell them you need a bulkhead for it or something and make a video out of it.
GOOD MORNING JOE THANKS FOR YOUR HONESTY SIR. TAKE CARE SIR 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤟🏼
For about $60.00 more (give or take a few bucks) you can pick up a Tamiya Grass Hopper or a hornet. They are a lot of fun and can replace parts if they break.
Oh yeah I’ve always wanted a grasshopper but never had one

I was waiting for Sponge Bob to interrupt and say a few moments later when you headed for the first jump. Lol
Wow ! It actually got air! Great looking shelf queen !😍
Thanks for the PSA
My son ended up with one of these, I might put it on a bandit chassis just to be cheeky
I’m shocked it made it up the jump on your track!!! Happy RC’ing Y’all!!! Great video!!!
The worst thing about toy grade is always the steering.
Having a hard time finding a replacement front Axel and motor for one I bought my son he broke the front Axel
This was a last second Christmas gift. All it did was make me start researching other rc cars. Now the fun begins
Check mcd racing
I’m a beginner to rc cars and I got this and it’s extremely good

🏎 😎
These keep catching my eye at WM because they remind me of the Rovan 305A.
The body is cool lookin so maybe a different chassis could be adapted to it.
Gonna buy an 11v battery , just got one for my son . Should give it a kick for him to use in our backyard
More stuff like this now and then! It’s a great time, I enjoyed it!
when i was 8 rc was new to the world . 1982 i had wired to car from ames there was no rc stores . only place i new of was at a gun store and they had the super champ $150 for a roller . it was all most $400 for everything to drive one !
I’ve had the wired cars when I was younger too
Why did you not do some lap times
Prediction 54:20
2:54 maybe an 8 year old in 2023 but back in the early mid 90s that would have kept me entertained until it broke.
Make it 6s! 😂
It looks cool...put a brushless motor in it !
Try to put a actual small 2S pack in there and see what it will do
It’s not worth it
no real gains, it's already 2s. I don't have a small 3s myself but even that would just be waiting for smoke
Yea they got these at walmart but I swear they had the jegs stinger I looked at it just didnt buy, I never looked at this one bc well look at it lol
Almost the same price as my stinger lol
Adventure Force, yeah!! The perfect gift for the lease favorite kid you have 😇 😆🤭😅😂🤣.
😂
I actually think this looks great for an even younger kid. Like 4-6. Too slow to hurt itself but looks decent.
This would have sold for a lot of money at radioshack back in the day lol.
Max6 😃
the Traxxas Bandit is shaking in its shocks lemme tell ya!
😂
You would need a calendar to time a lap 😂😂😂
Man I'm from the time of the wild thing heads up and the 9.6 volt ⚡ bandit . Them were some good toy rc.
They sure were
The suspensions should not work until the wheels should stay in place
There's potential in this beast 💪❤️😂
It would be good to see you try and make it good??? Anything is possible 😀
It definitely needs some vitavon! 🤣👍🔥
Try 3s
For $40 🤷🏼♂️
I have a 6 and 8 year old. If they weren’t spoiled by mine ha they would enjoy this. It can actually be driven outside ha.

Up the voltage till it blows lol
Lol ,wow,I guess make a good chew toy for my dog!?
Try one of ur higher mah crawler batteries
I got it for $5. At the thrift store
@2:18 that's what sh..... Haha

I’m waiting for the vitavon upgrades
😂😂😂
I got the offeoad version
Question
You should shoe horn some big electrics init see how long it can take it
You could run things like these and break them on purpose lol
One vid for the kids!
3s drone battery would fix that 😝😝😝🤟🤟🤟
I seen thos one at walmart
I don't think I would even use that for a beer run to the fridge lol I'd be asleep before it got back.
Thanks for the warning 😉 lol
Not sure if you caught it but it is a copy of a HPI Baja 5b LMAO! But they touch on something cool because a legitimate hobby grade 1/8 scale Nitro Baja 5b would be epic! Just saying! ✌️😎👍
The quality of walmart rcs has gone downhill in the last 15 yrs or so! Cheers Joe
I bought it
bummer I took this one back
Cool
👍😁
Yeah it reminds me of a Walmart car lol
That’s where it’s marketed
Nice looking terrible technic. I'll never buy unless I want to do a destruction derby video . Ciao and thanks
Was there anybody in these comments planning to buy this?
Looks like they copied the styling of the baja 5b.
Anything else 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤦♂️ the front suspension HAHAHA what even
😈😈😈😈♻️♻️♻️♻️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not for me too cheap for my liking need a man rc maybe you should take the traxxas X Maxx and smash that little toy love your videos and stay safe
Welp ya pay for what you get 😆
LMAO!! defiantly not a stinger....
It reminds me of the cheap RCS from the 80s and '90s.
😂 not a traxxas bandit huh...lol
Uhhh, yeah... that's a HARD pass for me. Hell, I'd rather have a Traxxas Bandit or something of that nature than this dumpster filling.

LOL ANYTHING ELSE
Hpi imposter
This is not a bad RC. It is a bad toy.
Who's that in the car the ambiguously gay duo?
LOL ...buy any else?!!
It is a VERY cheap Tamiya Grasshopper trying to pass itself off as an HPI 5B.
