DEERC RC Cars DE36W Remote Control Car with 1080P HD FPV Camera, 1/16 Off-Road High Speed Monster Trucks for Kids Adults 60 Min Play

I was actually pretty hesitant on buying this even though the reviews were overall good - there were just some stand-out negative reviews that made me hesitate before clicking the purchase button.It arrived neatly packaged and easy to assemble (camera and batteries) and the car and remote control were actually a lot more sturdier than I expected. It's got a bit of weight to it so I was honestly pretty impressed because the ones that I've seen friends and family play with always seemed so flimsy and plastic. I was most impressed by the wheels (I drove it over some big extension cords and random objects on the ground and it went over them like it was nothing). A few reviewers mentioned the suspensions of the wheels and yes, I found them pretty cool as well!The controls are definitely very sensitive but you get used to it pretty quickly and it honestly isn't that bad as some reviews mentioned. I've never owned or played with a remote control car in my adult life (super cheap ones in my childhood, yes), so take it from me, you pick up the controls quickly. It isn't that hard.The only somewhat negative thing I would say about this product is the app for the phone (which isn't even the physical product itself) - at times it was very slow/laggy, but that's all I really have to say about it, just took a few seconds to load and it was running smoothly again. I like the camera feedback quality, it's actually good for the price in my opinion (I was expecting the images to be more fuzzy/blurry).Side-note, originally, I planned to purchase this to use under our house to see if there's any critters living in the crawl space - I ended up not using this since my brother and I just opened up the crawl space and looked through it ourselves, which leads me to my next point that it would be nice if they installed some kind of light to the car. I played with the car in the house with dimmed lights (and natural lighting in our long hallway) and it was already difficult to see what the camera was capturing. So I purchased two small flashlights and attached it to the car, it worked amazing and the camera was able to capture clearer footages of its surroundings.Overall, I love the quality for the price! I definitely think I got a little more than what I paid for, so that makes me happy! I was planning on reselling this after using it for our house's crawl space, but I'm keeping it for the fun of it :)

Initially pretty impressed has rubber tires fast and easy to control. Tried the app but it wouldn’t do anything so reading the comments understood why everyone had bad reviews. However, found a comment that said to put the phone on airplane mode. Viola, everything worked.. camera is very clear great quality. I am on an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Very nice product so far. Haven’t really tested the distance yet but it seems adequate so far.

UPDATE 12-16-19:In full transparency, the company reached out to me about the issues with the privacy of the app and the car I received and went above and beyond to make things right. At the time of my original review I was using the android app and have recently switched to IOS. The company stated it was an issue with the app and that the app had been updated. I can confirm for IOS the app appears to be working properly and does NOT ask for microphone access. Also, I stated in my original review I was having issues connecting to the camera. Before writing this update I have used the new camera repeatedly by turning off and on connecting and disconnecting from the WI-FI multiple times with the camera working properly each time. Also, I mentioned in my previous review, but I thought it was worth mentioning again. I was pleasantly surprised of the video quality of the camera. I was expecting the video to be very grainy, but very surprised how good the video quality actually was. So for the new car has been working great and look forward to more fun times with it.The RC car itself worked fine, but the biggest issue is the camera and your privacy. I purchased this to drive under the crawlspace of my house. I thought it would be a good way to inspect without having to crawl under the house, but there were problems from day one and it was the camera.1.) Phone App wants Microphone access, but does not record sound - You have to download an app (android in my case) to operate the camera and you can also control the car via the app. Once the app is installed and launched it forces you to give the app microphone access. The camera does not record sound and there is not reason for microphone access to be granted. I tried denying microphone access and the app would not work with out it. This is a huge privacy concern.2.) The camera worked 3 out of 10 times - If you can connect to the camera and stay connected to the camera the actual quality is not that bad. After several attempts the camera would not stay connected even after rebooting the phone several times and connecting on and off to the RC Car's Wi-FI. I use my phone with other apps with camera interface like DJI, GoPro, Canon Camera and others that connect through a Wi-FI signal and no issues except this camera.Overall, the car itself isn't bad, but my issues with it was mostly the camera and app. The app may be a different for IOS, but after so many failed attempts with the camera not connecting to the app and the even larger issue with forcing microphone access it simply was worth it to me and I had to return it.In full transparency, the company reached out to me about my issues with the privacy of the app and the car I received.
