Overview
A brushed motor drives all four wheels of this scale monster truck, which rides on spring shocks and reinforced rubber tires made for rough ground and shallow water. A 2.4GHz radio controls it.
Speed, four-wheel drive and rubber tires on spring shocks give it a rough-terrain focus. The limits are the run time on one charge and a listing that contradicts itself on model number and battery chemistry.
Who it's for
Older teens and adults who like fast, rugged RC play outdoors get four-wheel drive and a remote with long reach. Parents shopping for young children should look elsewhere because of the listed minimum age, and anyone planning long sessions should check run time first.
Pros and cons
- High listed top speed
- LED lights and water resistance
- Rubber tires with spring shocks
- Charger cable and screwdriver included
- Short run time per charge
- Model number differs within listing
- Remote battery details conflict
- Not meant for young children
Performance notes
Four-wheel drive and reinforced rubber tires give traction on mud, sand and rock, while spring shocks soften landings. The brushed motor and battery size govern speed and the short run time on one charge. Water resistance is described only in general terms.
