It's only about $20, I've seen so many posts about these Little Tiny RC Cars, I had to try one for myself! You may not have seen all the hype.. but believe me... it really has been strange! Speed Test... Bash... my thoughts! Is it REALLY any good?

    Yes yes I know... speed testing it on block paving was not great... I may have got an extra 1 MPH on a smooth surface lol. This one looks similar.. but even cheaper (at the moment its $15): www.banggood.com/custlink/3GDhzcgVrt

    This thing cost more than anyone would realize! I bought one from Walmart last fall, and it started up my rc addiction again....and it's worse this time! Since the time I got this, I've accumulated 11 additional vehicles, which includes: Arrma Granite, Slash Ultimate, Redcat Gen8V2, Axial Wrangler JLU, Traxxas TRX4 Defender. See how costly that $15 toy had become! Lol
  • I got 2 for my little lads on his birthday. A buggy and a monster truck for 30£. he loves them when I let him have a go
  • @masedog0042
    They’re at Walmart for 14.95. Cheapest I’ve seen and they have blue and green
  • @answerace
    I eyed one up for a few weeks. Finally got one. I love it, kids loved it, cats loved it. Now I have 5 other RC cars. It sparked my hobby I had when I was a kid and now my kids are enjoying.
  • @craigzilla100
    I bought one years ago from Walmart for $15 and I was BLOWN away how amazing it was.
  • @trevorc6793
    Hi Tomley, thanks for the honest opinion. Can you re-confirm what the 'Something better for similar money' is please. the link is broken. Cheers
  • Watching these make me feel younger lol, I've just turned 38yrs old today, I would love any RC car. Anyway Good Job 👍💯 can't wait to see the other car's review. 👊
  • @aaron8891
    Micro RC's are so hot right now. Im really surprised more hobby grade companies have not taken advantage of the market. I absolutely loved the Losi micro 1/36 cars they used to make. They were probably one of the best micros ever made. Ahh those were the days... maybe one day someone will make a decent one.
  • @palm_tree7103
    I actually bought mines a few weeks ago. I saw it at Walmart for $15 honestly the best $15 I’ve ever spent. And there’s even a bigger version that’s $30. It goes up to 20 mph it’s essentially the same thing but it looks a lot more like the classic rc buggy with those flat rc buggy wheels and everything. And the big one has proportional steering.
  • Got mine from Walmart years back, still runs, and me and my cat live playing with it. Best $16 I ever spent.. on year 4 with it. Gotta admit, I stitched the rear body mount around to give that rear spring some actual "suspension" and it changed the game on this lil rig !!! If I could do pics of show what I did Fuk it I'm off to go get another !!!
  • @bustincue4u299
    I got my 4 year old nephew one of these about 4 months ago. I still works and charges fine. For 20 bucks he has a ball with it while I’m out with my senton it gives him something to do.
  • I bought one of these at Wal-Mart. The one I bought came with a ramp. It has the same remote and lo/hi speed option. I removed the stock 70mah battery (upgraded it to a Lipo 200mah) and upgraded the motor from an old drone I had. It has an extended body and higher back tires as well. It has improved the speed significantly. I think it almost doubled the speed.
  • @dmonhuntr75
    Where I live in Canada they sold those at Costco. Now Costco sells an upgraded version with proportional steering , working rear suspension, and extra softer tires. It's a bit larger too. I bought my kids each one for Christmas. They are much better, since you can actually control them LoL. $24 CDN.
  • @1deadly187
    I modded mine with a different rear body mount and a body from a different tiny car so the rear suspension would actually work. The way they mounted the body renders the rear suspension useless and is a design flaw..
  • Had something back in the early 90’s called a “Fast Traxx”…was a really cool neon yellow batmobile looking thing with tank tracks instead of wheels…thing was awesome
  • @RCModSquad
    Not too bad and really portable. I bought two for $14 but I haven’t opened them yet. 😃 Have a great day and be safe out there!
  • I had a similar rc car based on that chassis. When it broke I transferred it's electronics into a Coke Can car and gave it proportional throttle. It was good rip!
