High quality, fast off-road RC!
Overall, the Simrex truck is awesome. It is nice to find an RC car that is out of the “toy” category and can actually perform off-road, through grass, up steep hills, and still rip around the neighborhood. I haven’t found anything in this price range that is as capable. My 9-yr-old loves it and can control it quite easily. Good for kids and adults. We keep the Throttle trim full down most of the time (lowest level) as this extends the battery life significantly and makes it easier to control in tight spaces or indoors. It’s easy to access the internal components and battery charging is simple.Setup tip: The documentation talks about needing to connect and LED light bar, however this model came connected for me. All I had to was plug in the battery to the main harness and that was it. Charge and drive. The RC auto pairs on power up and no issues with it all.Durability: We’ve had quite a few crashed and this thing keeps on going. Time will tell and I will update the review if there are issues down the road. My biggest concern is accessibility to repair parts. TBD.Great car, value, and a ton of fun!

Good value, toy grade RC
The adult child in me loved this. Decent size, 4WD, fast. The plastic used looks solid with metal reinforcement, should take some abuse B4 breaking. Nice details like hinged body, driving lights, oversized tires and a motor heat sink! Ball bearings in the hubs and CV style axle shafts are all quality features. Li-ion battery (shown next to a std Li-po) had good run time (sorry, I didn't record) and was faster than this size car could handle. But now the negative. The shocks are simple plastic on plastic with no internal seals. So you can't add oil and grease would attract dirt and accelerate the wear. Oil filled aluminum shocks are available and would improve driving stability and be much longer lasting but than I would end up substituting a brushless motor, esc and receiver. These two things would move this to a hobby grade RC but would easily double the cost? In the end, it's a good toy grade RC that will likely wear out B4 it breaks. A good first RC for any age.

Rugged and great toy
I recently bought the SIMREX 1/16 Scale Hobby RC Car for my child, and it’s been a total hit! This little truck is incredibly fast, reaching speeds of 36 KPH, and its 4WD makes it perfect for all kinds of terrain. Whether it's racing across the backyard or zooming over dirt and gravel, my child has had so much fun putting it to the test. The 2.4 GHz remote control is easy to use, and even though it’s speedy, it’s simple for my child to control. The all-terrain design means it can handle rough surfaces without skipping a beat, and it’s built tough enough to survive a few crashes. It's the perfect size for both indoor and outdoor play, and I love that it keeps my child entertained for hours. Overall, it’s been a fantastic addition to our collection of toys—fun, durable, and a great way to encourage outdoor play!

Fun, fast, responsive RC car
The media could not be loaded. This is a very fun, responsive RC car. It’s reasonably lightweight, with the body of the car a lightweight plastic shell that looks good and seems tough.The battery seems to last quite a while and the car is quite fast, which means fun! The car is responsive and easy to control. The one thing I wish it had is a reverse gear so you could back the car up when you happen to get stuck on something.It’s a nice size too, not too big, but big enough to go over reasonable sized rocks, branches, etc. The shock absorption/suspension seems quite good too, so even riding over rough terrain, it seems like the car is taking it in stride.Recommended for good fun.
