1/10 Brushless RC Cars, Monster Truck, 50+ MPH, 4WD, Waterproof, Carbon Fiber, Black, Ages 8+

This truck is incredible. Built extremely well but with that said things are still going to break down the line. It loves to go fast and hard and is a pleasure to drive. If you're inexperienced start slow and build up. If you start at 100% power you're probably going to break it cause it is hard to control if you don't know what you're doing. I know it's hard not to go all out but it will be worth it. If you're smart and take care of it, it will last a long time. Couple things more. Do the modification so you can fit the bigger battery. Lasts a lot longer and more power. I run a 3S 5200mah 120C and I can go a good half hour. Other is you don't have to replace the pinion. Yes it does make it faster, but that's something you can do down the road a bit.

I've owned alot of RC Cars & Trucks. This one is really nice for the price, I got it as a basher to play with my dogs, the 4WD and brushless motor with the 3S battery is a blast. This truck is fast & fun! It's pretty durable and handles well. It has a good battery run time and comes with the USB charger, tho I use a balanced charger for mine.

This is definitely one of the better or best RC cars you can buy for the $250 price range comes with a great brushless system aluminum parts, some carbon fiber parts that is more of just a gimmick and looks than anything but still cool to have. It’s pretty dang fast and it’s very durable. I’ve crashed this thing so many times pretty hard, backflip it off trees and only minor damage. Nothing serious. I highly recommend it. The only thing is I don’t like about it are the cables going from the motor to the ESC are pretty short and tightly crammed and it looks like it’s putting a lot of stress on the wiring, and the body is pretty thin and not the most durable, and the driver system is kind of useless for this truck. It doesn’t work very well and almost makes the car unusable but for a basher you don’t need that anyways, the transmitter can be kinda hard to figure out it first but once you get it down, it’s a really nice transmitter. For 250 bucks you got everything you need great parts and brushless system great transmitter and comes with a 3S battery so 4.8 stars for me!

I'll be honest — I wasn’t expecting this much quality from an RTR kit at this price point. But the RIAARIO 1/10 Brushless RC Truck blew me away. The chassis is built like a tank with durable carbon fiber panels and reinforced aluminum parts. I’ve rolled this truck several times during high-speed runs, and aside from a few cosmetic scuffs, there’s been no structural damage. That’s impressive for a basher in this price range! The included 2.4GHz remote feels premium, like something you'd usually have to buy separately. However, the manual offers very little guidance on advanced settings. So here’s a tip for other new users: To unlock the remote settings (like throttle trim, steering dual rates, etc.), hold the arrow button (bottom right) while powering on the remote. This unlocks configuration mode — essential if you're new to this kind of power and want better control. 🔋 Battery Life and Upgrades The included battery is decent, but I strongly recommend upgrading the charger. The USB charger works, but it’s slow and inefficient. I use the Haisito HB6 balance charger, and it makes a world of difference. Battery runtime varies: 🕒 Around 30 minutes at 50% throttle ⏱️ Under 10 minutes if you’re going full-throttle the entire time For extended fun, I recommend upgrading to larger 3S packs. I was able to fit a Zee 3S 3300mAh soft pack into the existing tray. It’s snug but workable. Rlaario suggests relocating the ESC to the center using included zip ties, but I managed to keep the layout as-is with a tight fit. ✅ Final Thoughts This truck is a total sleeper hit — high performance, solid construction, and a surprising level of customization. One thing I really appreciated was the two full sheets of decals included in the box. It might seem like a small touch, but for hobbyists like me, it’s important to give your RC truck some personality. Driving around with a blank shell just isn’t the same — make it your own and it feels like an extension of you. 🎨🔥 You can tell this thing was designed with enthusiasts in mind, but the manual leaves a lot to be desired. That’s why I also uploaded a video showing how to: Set up telemetry so you can view real-time voltage on the remote 📟 Remove the receiver box top and plug in the mystery R&B cable that comes in the kit (not explained anywhere in the instructions!) 🔌 👉 Check out my video for setup tips not covered in the manual — including unlocking the remote and using the telemetry cable.

Hands down has to be one of the best rc cars I have bought that wasn't a top name brand. Besides a few issues I have put one heak of a bashing on this Lil beast. I have accidentally slammed it into a few things and broken nothing. And I have bashed on this beast like alot 1-2hrs a day for over a month n half straight. Now the issues I did have with it was down to faulty assembly. The motor mount was wedged in and wouldn't slide out without a little persuasive handling. Then there was also an over tightened screw holding the engine mount /bulkhead that I had to drill out and the screws holding motor in stripped out. I got ahold of them and mostly fixed issues. Or atleast in good faith tried fixing the issue. Unfortunately I don't know the exact part number for the correct engine mount/bulkhead and Unfortunately still haven't received the right part. I did get 2 others that potentially could work but I'm good at figuring out fixes to issues and got it ripping almost perfectly. They customer service is second to none with one minor issue. They need to know what parts can and can not go on the ordered car. I have a few parts that was sent that could be pressed into service if needed but were received at no cost to myself. I do not recommend getting the center differential switched with the straight shaft, it will burn threw tires fairly quick. Getting the upgraded metal differential is sublime a must have, it holds up to abuse a bit better than stock. Switching out to the biggest gear is in my opinion a must do as it gives great speed and performance off roading. I do not recommend changing them out more than once. One great feature this machine has is truly awesome is the ride hight adjustments are the little hex screws on the bottom control arms on each wheel. Tighten them up n it will drop to the ground loosen them and you'll get a tall crawler. Easiest set up I have ever seen. This is robust enough for a beginner yet fun for the building hobbiest. This is great outta the box but some knowledge is recommend.

I bought this carbon version (for me) and the non carbon version (for a child). These things are amazing. Fast, well built, remote/car connectivity is flawless. Out kids (only 8) controls the care really (we set it as 50-75% of max speed. The only issue I have with them, is that after 4 runs, the rear shocks become saggy. I.e. they don't bounce back. Front shocks are fine. I found a solution to this and posting here to help other (who like me are not necessarily experts with RC trucks), if you adjust the read shocks so that the springs are compressed to the max settings, the shocks bounce back well enough, compared to almost not at all in the out of the box configuration. With that in mind, I'm going to assume the issue is not necesarily with the shocks, but more so with springs that are not 'strong' enough. Maybe someone here can make a recommendation on possibly upgrading just the springs? Otherwise, these trucks are a ton of fun and are very well built.

Cannot be beat for the money. Fantastic chassis with a really strong drivetrain, diffs and motor. It handles like a on road race car that you can send to the moon!!!! Even the stock wheels/tires are very very nice. Soft enough to grip but firm enough not to wear out after 3 packs. The only thing I don't like is the ESC. Its completely non adjustable and the factory brake setting is WAY too high. Hit the brakes at anything close to fast and watch it front flip down the p-lot. Also the "Electric Turbo" button is really just increasing the punch level. I think they did it like this to try to get a little more run time out of the ridiculously small battery. Figure on about 10 minutes of run time if you go like I do but you don't buy these to putt around!!!! You can re-locate the esc to increase the length of the battery tray but I think that should have been done on assembly of the truck. Also the C-rating of the included battery is definitely not accurate. It's more like 15C. The Gyro works very good. You can drift this sucker all day (or ten minutes at a time). Once you sort how the transmitter works you'll find it to be a very very good one with a ton of range and good response time. The shocks are very plush and work well. Put some 70wt oil in them and they work even better. I'm going to replace the ESC with a BL120 so I can tune it better (brakes) and run 4S. Just moving the stock ESC and fitting a good 5200 MAH 3 cell with at least a 50C rating really wakes this thing up. Bottom line is that for less than $250 bucks you cannot get anything that comes remotely close to this. Just fit a bigger better battery and you'll see why the wheelie bar becomes necessary. I didn't use the bigger pinion yet because after using a better battery I don't think I need to. Lastly, the stock steering servo is good but not great. It's a small size so to fit a normal size one you have to get a conversion kit/bracket from rlaarlo. I'm going to do that mod as well because this chassis is just too good not to have a super fast brushless servo. A fast servo is the single best modification you can make to any r/c car. It COMPLETELY changes how it drives. I use power hobby brushless low profile servos (45kg) and I love them. Plus they fit nice in tight areas. HW makes a nice brushless servo as well. Overall I'm quite impressed with the design and execution of this r/c. Just ditch the lame batt for a bigger mah higher c-rating one and you'll be super pleased with the performance.

I am 53 years old and have had RC cars my whole life. I was always into the nitro cars and thought this time I would try a brushless electric. After watching videos and reading reviews I decided to get a cheaper car that came with everything vs spending 500-700 bucks on a car and still need batteries, chargers and a controller etc. The reviews were great, the videos I watched were all good, so I thought I'll buy one and check it out. The instructions are a joke, you'll need to watch some videos on how to set everything before you drive it. I literally drove it for less than 10 minutes in my backyard and on my driveway before the plastic control arm snapped in half. I didn't hit anything, I didn't run over anything. I was doing donuts and that was that. I noticed right out of the box it was pulling to the right pretty hard and the right side wheel kind of wobbled. I used a lot of trim to get it to go straight. I think it was about 18 clicks from center. I also dialed back the throttle to 50 so it wasn't so wild, set the gyro etc so I would drive good. I watched all these video of how tough this thing is. Everyone flying off of ramps bashing curbs and hitting everything, turning flips and it kept right on rolling. Seems odd that the suspension would snap on the first use, less than 10 minutes into it, driving on flat grass. No bumps, no jumps, no holes, no crashes, no flips. Just some donuts in the sand on my driveway and in the grass. I sent it back and I'm hoping for a refund or for them to send me a replacement. I feel like I got a bad product that wasn't made/assembled correctly from the factory. I was very happy with the performance at first other than the pulling and wheel shake. After all the great reviews and videos, I can't help but think I got a lemon. The side that snapped is the side that was having issues right out of the box too. I would have given it a much higher rating had it lasted longer than half a battery before breaking. It was fun while it was driving still
