Revell Control 24830 RC X-TREME Monster Truck "Cross Storm"

This car is amazing for the price. It should cost £100+!It is very speedy. When I say very speedy, I mean faster than running pace.The size of the car is good. The build quality is good. I would have preferred a metal body over a plastic one but I can't complain for the price.The run time is excellent. It lasts for around 20 minutes which is more than enough for me. When you see that RC cars have a 50 minute drive time, that means that the motors aren't very powerful and the car will be slow. This car has a huge battery at a high voltage which gives you a powerful and long driving experience!The remote control is easy and fun to use. It is nice to hold and is very responsive.The range on this car is very good. The range is about 40 metres. This doesn't sound like much but at 40 metres, I can barely see the car or know which way it is orientated.Tips:Screw the Knut on the wheels on every once in a while. I lost the knut and the wheel fell off (this happened twice).Don't drive too fast on uneven surfaces as the car may topple over.Have fun :-)Pros:Very fastGood run timeNice sizeEasy to controlGood rangeCons:Wheels may fall offBody is made of plasticConclusionThis is an epic RC car. It is fun to play with and is the BEST RC car that is under £75! I love this car. It is super fast and amazing. I would recommend this to everyone! I even bought another another one as a birthday present for a friend!Five stars!!!

Superb truck strong and tough.Can easy be upgraded to a brushless motor and speed control and larger battery performance.I already had 3 of these so i know and understand them being in the hobby for well over 50 years.Easy to carry around which i like over my heavy 1/8th scale monster truck.Easy get 20 minutes out of the stock battery.Best to get at least 6 more of them or more so you can change them, when they go flat.It a fast truck easy get up to 40mph.But who want to go fast with a truck???.I do not in the first place, easy to get out of control doing crazy speed.And could easy crash into yourself doing it.Not for me.I have not broke anything yet on it compared to larger trucks i have used over the 50 years in the hobby.Parts are cheap for this.I also have a JP Thunder Truck very similar to this one with same parts on it.So can be easy interchanged with it.When the motor dies on this i will upgrade it to brushless, like my JP version.I would think this revel truck was a best buy for me at this price.And if your looking for your first 1/18th scale truck you can not go wrong with this one Revell version.A must buy truck.

Top speed is about 15mph / 25kmh, these cars rarely get close to the speed stated on the box. It has good power for its size and handles grass and gravel well and hops over farm fields readily. It has a knob on the controller for steering adjustment. It is fully proportional, i.e. can turn a little or a lot and go slow or fast or anywhere inbetween.It has good brakes (to use brakes, quickly switch from forwards to reverse - to actually reverse, let go of forwards for a moment, then hit reverse).The controller feels comfortable and connects almost immediately to the car. A small minus is that like many toy cars you have to unscrew the compartment where the battery goes.Although 15mph doesn't sound that fast, it does feel fast for its size and is great fun to drive. It's an ideal small car to bash around over ramps, do donuts in gravel, etc. It is a tough little car and has taken a number of knocks and flips in its stride.But be warned, it might get you addicted to RC cars if you aren't already.

Fantastic car. Very very fast. Son loves it. It's had so many bumps and falls in high speed but still perfectly intact. Also purchased at promotional price of £39 so can't complain as it's performance exceeds the price paid.
