1/16 RC Car for Boys and Adults, 38kph 4WD Ready to Run Hobby RC Truck with 2 Batteries, Off Road Remote Control Monster Truck Gifts for Kids, JC16W

I usually do not write reviews. In my personal opinion, this 4x4 RC car is all around great for the money. I have been nothing short of a child while putting this thing to the test. BIG JUMPS. Driving on pavement is fun and very zippy (20 mph-ish). Off-road capabilities seem to be very surprising. My land is not level, tons of quarry spalls, gravel, dirt and roots poking out of the ground. This JetWood RC truly is meant for all of it. It’s fast but not too fast, fairly simple to work on (I had little experience with RC cars before this) and in the price range where if someone breaks it, not too heartbreaking. I would recommend this as a great starter or for just bashing around and being an adult kid with everyone else who wants to have fun. *Charging: get the OVONIC X1 dual RC battery balance charger. Awesome for the price and speed of charging. Literally hours(stock) to minutes(Ovinic x1).*

This has been the only RC car that has lasted us! This car is fast and fun! Perfect for a gift, kids and adults. Will. Definitely buy another one! The only thing we lost was the truck part but other than that we love it!

This thing has been amazing this is the brushed version which is great for kids to learn I got it for my 3-year-old and he's already learned to drive it He's so good I had him put it through the ringer he had this thing submerged in muddy water drove it out He's tried to destroy this thing by driving in flipping off fences flipping off trees no it's not a really fast one because it's a 2S system but for 80 bucks You can upgrade it to a brushless system which ain't back and it can handle 3S with a brushless system All you do is get the parts out of the 1/14 model and it's plug and play. We even try to have 3S in it out does my 1/10 rustler VXL when it comes to speed and handle does it handles great to prevent them get a smallest set of tires under use the Big ones on the road you so smaller set you'll have no issues it'll keep traction the entire time he loves it it's so much fun for him. The photo is after my upgrades which is motor receiver ESC and tires

My kids love this car. We’re doing all stunt actions like breaking magnetile buildings and crossing obstacle courses we made. It is a sturdy car.

Badness

It works pretty good,plastic is kinda flimsy but that's to be expected with these. The remote works good and it's easy to operate. Fairly priced for what it is. The battery life is okay,it has different settings to choose so it'll drain less battery. The battery does seem to get hot Fairly fast when on the highest setting. But my son is very eased with it, so I'm happy. This would make a great gift for anyone.

Fun truck, fast, and fun for the kids or adults. Battery lasts about 45 minutes. Better than comparable truck bought from local hobby store.

So far so good. The body clips are a bit of a pain but this thing is fun. Has a ton of torque. On asphalt it will do wheelies and flip if you are not careful.

We bought this RC car for our son's 6th birthday. We've only been using it for a few days so far, but we haven't had any issues. We've been driving it both indoors and outdoors, and it's been a lot of fun. The car is very fast. We've only been using the 75% speed setting (the remote lets you choose between 75% and 100%), because 100% is simply too fast, especially for a young child. It would be great if there were additional speed options like 25% and 50%. At the current minimum speed, it's still a bit difficult for a beginner to control, and lower speeds would also make it more enjoyable to use indoors. The battery takes about 3.5–4 hours to fully charge. We've already recharged it around 7–10 times. We haven't had to replace the batteries in the remote yet. If you don't want to keep buying disposable batteries, you can simply use two rechargeable AA batteries instead. But the remote doesn't use batteries a lot. Overall, we're very happy with the purchase. In fact, we're even thinking about buying a second one, preferably with more precise low-speed adjustment. Update: We ended up buying a second RC car. At first, we bought the DEERC 9311E 1/18 Zombie version for $99, but the steering broke on the fifth day, so we returned it and are now waiting for the refund. We decided to get another Jetwood instead, this time the brushless model (the red one). Overall, it's a good car too, but the first one (the green brushed version) actually feels more responsive and easier to control, even though it's not as fast as the red one. The red car is extremely fast, even with the speed limited to 70%, which makes it difficult for kids to drive. Another thing I don't like is that, on the red one, you have to pull the trigger for reverse at least twice before it actually starts backing up. I know that's normal for many high-speed RC cars, but I personally find it really inconvenient. So my recommendation would be the green one. We often organize races and even "battle" the cars by crashing them into each other and trying to flip the other car over. Thanks to the sponges, nothing has broken so far. I highly recommend attaching sponges to both the front and the rear of the cars. Otherwise, your child will probably destroy them within the first week of use.

I didn’t think I’d love it so much. The dogs chase it around until the batteries die. Friends and family get a kick out driving it. I bring it camping and usually rip it around at least once. Super fun and I think it’s great value for the quality. It flips and jumps, gets banged around and keeps going. Get one.

I’m giving this 5 stars, I haven’t touched an rc car since I was a kid and this thing would have been an 11 as a kid. I’ve only had this for a day or so and I’ll update. Ice driving is good to ok( needs different tires for better ice traction) I have drove this thing into everything and it’s scratched up a bit, but holding up. I would love a classic truck body for this thing. My husky loves this thing, i mean asks to play with it, loves it lol. I’m looking to make a way for my dog to pick it up like a handle. Otherwise it’s paw swatting or her teeth through the windows and tires. Maybe some dog safe upgrades would be cool, soft bumpers, or even full on dog safe bodies My ratings so far Looks- 3.5 ( subjective ) Speed - 4 ( for beginners maybe) Quality - 4.5 Debility- 4.5 ( 2 ish days this far ) I’ll update when something breaks or changes

The vehicle seemed great out of the box. Fast, good suspension and responsive. But within 2 days of mild use (no big jumps or abuse in any way) I noticed the shock on the front was snapped. Took it off and found out the rod was cracked at the tie point. So much for durable and reliable. I purposely bought this because I was sick of watching cheaper, box store rc cars break but now this seems no different. Maybe I got the lemon of the bunch but I had to review so people could see what can happen. And now I noticed that one of their more popular items is "replacement shocks"....that says something right there. Wish I seen that before I bought. Customer service reached out to me and was very accommodating in sending me new shock to replace the broken one. That's as much as I can ask from any company to fix a problem. Sucks that it broke so quickly but they are definitely running a good customer service for sure.

Bought for grandson who is loving it! Very fast and much stronger than the cheaper ones I’ve purchased. Have to take cover off to power up which is a little inconvenient Batteries last a decent amount of time. So far so great!
