I picked one of these up years ago for £25 on Amazon only things that went wrong was the rear dog bones twisted and I killed the motor but that was my own fault for letting it get so hot 🤣

Fun! Thanks for promoting something that's just pure fun, very practical and not too serious. As many of us know from experience, no matter how well made an RC anything is, outrageous speed + a little stupidity (or lack of ability) = breakage. This little guy certainly prevents much of that.

In the last three weeks ive bought an xmaxx, erevo, 1/16 erevo, x0-1, a yuneec typhoon h and a dji mini3. I just made an offer on a losi motocross bike. I havnt had an rc since 90's. Xmaxx. And then the bug bit me again. Oh, i just bought dji goggles and camera and am setting it up so i can place it on all the cars. Mid life crisis? Probably 😂 im havin alot of fun. I didn't think id ever take them to the skate park but i did and its awesome. That losi motocross bike at the skate park is awesome. Seriously. It launched and lands perfect. It carves the bowls great. It will wheelie hundreds of feet . To cool. Cheers!

Yep. This same car was the rc car that got me into the hobby. It’s now my daughter’s and it’s still going even after she drowned it in water!

I just ordered some of these to race with my family, then I noticed it's the same car as my Revell Cross Storm. Just a different shell. So I ordered some more! The Cross Storm got me into the hobby along with the Carrera Drift Racer PX, I love it and it's great to see such an affordable car get your vote! At the price I paid, I would take it over the mighty WLToys 144001 or epic 124019. Not as fast, but fast enough for its size, decent on grass or offroad, lovely on gravel, and I always smile when I drive it. Cheap enough to throw around. No issues yet. Love it!

I bought two of these for my younger boys (5 &4 at the time) off your recommendation about a year ago. I’ve only had to replace the differential gears with the metal ones and some dogbones off of normal wear and tear. One of them got run over by an actual car and all I had to replace was the body and a wheel to get it back in top shape after that. I love these and highly recommend them as well. Thanks for recommending these.

Have been racing 2 of the Helivator K "Motivator" (TOPNAME#1) versions of this truck in the garden today,amazing fun and quite quick! can launch itself quite happily off a dirt berm! hit more or less everything there was to hit and and doesn't damage either itself OR garden stuff, which may or may not be high on your priorities.This version also came with 2 batteries each of which last over 20mins, I am actually amazed by that tbh,must be just sniffin the juice man.EDIT TO ADD It also has a THREE WIRE servo!

The one I gave my granddaughter has lost 2 speed controllers so far. First time was when she went through a small puddle in the driveway, second one died when she drove into wet grass on the lawn. Oher than reciever/esc water problems, there have been no other issues. Her sister has the same problem with the WLToys 969. Avoid water unless you open them up and waterproof everything, and they seem to hold up fine.

Can it crawl, proportionally controlling the power, or is anyway too fast to do it?

Is it possible to restrain the maximum throttle on this one? I'm just getting into RC cars myself and wanted to buy one for my 3 year old with proportional control and steering. He has other cars with "on"/"off" throttle and steering and is loving it. But too much speed is difficult to handle for him for obvious reasons. 😁

Does anyone have a link for spare shocks? Or the dimensions of the current factory installed, for better search results. Thank you

Could you recommend an RC under £100 that would make a good low speed RC capable of carying decent weight? I want to create my own chassis with resin / metal (kinda like a roboto rover).

Thanks for this video. This is exactly what I was looking for... I wanted a super tough, and not super fast, rc truck for my boys, (8 and 3), that was from China. Just got 2 of them locally in China for $60.

I am interested in this one. Is the HS 18301/18302 the same as this one? That is one that I can buy in Europe. Also I have heard that the differential is totally plastic and that it is gone in a few tries. The same with the drive shafts which get broken very quickly. Is that right? Because I cannot buy spare parts in Europe (they have blocked buying from China harder here in Europe, living in Belgium). It is a gift for someone and it would be a pity if it is broken very quickly without having a chance to buy replacement parts.

I own two of them. Even some spares from wltoys fit on them. Great fun. The hs 18311 was my first hobby gradish rc two years ago. Thanks to your review tomley. Since then I am hooked.

Very nice, i have a 40mph rc car and it goes faster than this one which is said to be at the same speed. Did you drive it at its maximum speed or only did average because it doesn't seem like a 40mph and its advertised to be that fast..

Got one of those for my 6 yr old (Revell branded) and he absolutely loves it. Costs about 50-60 EUR here in Germany and it´s more durable than my own 144001.
