DEERC 9201E 1:10 Large Remote Control Truck with Lights, Fast Short Course RC Car, 48 km/h 4x4 Off-Road Hobby Grade Toy Monster Crawler Electric Vehicle with 2 Rechargeable Batteries for Adult Kid Boy

Arrived quickly! Great buy, I am honestly impressed for the price. This is a super fun short track four wheel drive RC vehicle. Would be perfect for beginners or like me a couple friends just racing around. Grandson LOVES it. Battery life is as expected, mostly depends on how you drive. Plenty of time to play and it comes with two batteries. So plenty of fun! It’s fast and durable. I can imagine if you smash it into something hard it WILL break. I’ve flipped it, jumped it and it’s keeps screaming. Parts are available if you do break something. I took the spare tire off and didn’t install the roof bar light supplied. I figured I would tear them off rolling it. After each time a battery is used, I turn the vehicle upside down to allow all dirt, small rocks and debris to fall out. Keep it clean, dry and you will enjoy it…

My 7 yr old loves it! Fast!! Thankfully it has a speed adjustment so we can slow it down until he gets used to controlling it

Tons of fun . Good handling, enough speed, I'm building a race course in the yard.

To start off, I will say that I am a bit of a stickler for details and things working correctly. Not quite OCD, but perhaps on the threshold. Now, with that out of the way, on to the review!I purchased the Deerc 9201e because I was in the market for a short-course truck but, knew there had to be options for what my baby hobby budget would allow. So, after what seemed to be endless searching through YouTube reviews and Amazon rabbit holes, I came face to face with the 9201e.Ordering and arrival went off smoothly with the truck arriving in even less time than I had been quoted. *Quick note for the folks on the more aggressive side of that OCD stuff*It does appear to be a 12th scale, not a 10th scale car. But, as scale is relative to real-life counterparts and also the eye of the creator, it doesn't have to be a deal breaker. Bottoml line it's, pleasingly so.Out of the box you get two li-ion batteries which I thought were slightly unconventional, but the vehicle does use the widely popular Dean's T-plug, for which there are countless Li-po upgrades for. (Just don't go over 2s. Use ya brains people!) The electronics are rated for a max of 2s. That said, the stock battery life seems to be holding at a decent mark, between 15 and 20 minutes per pack. Charge time with the included wall charger is however, painfully slow. Would definitely recommend utilizing an aftermarket hobby-grade (compatible) charger, or have about four hours of random things to do while you wait for the packs to charge. Now, for the shocks I mentioned above. They. Are. BOUNCY. Not unfunctional, but very mmm... cartoonish. I could only take so much before I swapped in some 12th scale oil-filled Haiboxing shocks (not sponsored by Haiboxing, you guys rock though😎) World of difference. Now my main mention will be the spare tire that comes mounted on thr back of the body. Do yourself a favor, pull the pin that holds it and stash the whole setup in the box the vehicle comes in. Shaves off weight and stress on the body shell and you still have a spare tire if the vehicle should ever need it. Lastly, it took a few runs to pin down but on my unit, but the motor was mounted in a way that the small air vents, which would work in conjunction with the heatsink, were on the bottom of the motor, slap against the chassis. I resolved this by pulling it apart and removing the motor from its mount and flipping it so that the motor could breathe and benefit from the heatsink. Maybe a little extra eye on Quality Control there Dee, hmm?All in all, not a bad vehicle for what it is, considering what you pay. And shocks are an almost instant upgrade component if you ask me. As far as the radio goes, very good. Simple to understand controls and a chunky, robust feel. No issues with vehicle or radio to date.Updates will arrive as times fly.Peace.

For the big kid in your life, my husband lol! He loves his. It’s very fast very durable great value for the money.

For the price this truck is great on further review might not be that great. Raise the body post before you even run it. It runs way faster with the body raised. I also have seen videos where holes have been cut in back window of body to help with air flow. I have not done that yet worried that might weaken the shell. Shell is nice the spare tire and roof lights help protect shell when it rolls. Without them it would be lighter but again shell might take some damage. I have ran 5 battery lives through it and it has held up well with some pretty big crashes. The plastic pieces have lots of flex to them. These newer models only have 1 shell and charger just so you know. The original release had 2 each. Lights are good ran it at twilight last night and was impressed when ran during day didn't think much of them but in dark good. The top lights are a bit of a pain to hook up but when running during day I don't plug them in just hook the wire up in the clip inside the shell so it doesn't hang out of body. Also push the light bar down and push the clips through the 2nd hole in the post so the light bar doesn't rock around.All in all a great truck for the price thats the asterisk. Has good speed with the body lifted. The tires do rub the shell when it is lower. I might trim the wheel wells to eliminate the small amount of rubbing that still happens when turning. Good looking truck, my wife said wow when I 1st showed her so thats pretty high praise. Going to upgrade the battery for a little more power and speed but honestly as is its a good little truck for the $90 I paid. It is a little small for a 1:10 scale as others have noted but all in all I was happy with it.Adding to this run number 6 run front differential seems to have went out no more front wheel drive no hard bombing just driving around no big jumps or anything. Seems like alot to get in and actually see whats up with it going to have to take whole front end apart. This may or may not be worth really fixing might be just rear wheel till it dies. Okay revising again took dif apart looked okay. Replaced a axel going good again. So customer service got a hold of me and is sending some parts so thats cool. Truck is proving to be pretty durable and good customer service gets all 5 stars
