1/12 Brushelss RC Cars, 50 MPH, RC Buggy, Remote Control Truck, 4×4 Monster Car, Ages 8+

I'm an RC enthusiast and I have several cars/trucks from various manufacturers but one of my favorite brands so far has been RLAARLO - mainly because of the durability; I own 2 Rlaarlo 1/10 Omni Terminator (OT) trucks (metal and carbon versions) and they are both built to a very high standard. I wanted a 1/12 size and, although these X12S trucks pop up under several different names like Vircas and Lafpacy, the box you get has RLAARLO on it. When mine arrived, I was pleased to see the same great build quality as my OTs, a metal chassis plate, and many nice CNC metal parts such as shock towers and drive shafts, many marked 'Rlaarlo'. It wasn't clear in the web description but this Vircas one does come with a nice Rlaarlo 3S, 2200 mAh, 35C LiPo battery which gives it plenty of power - I didn't test with a GPS but the speed of this thing is awesome. I tried it on the paved street in front of my house and found that the stock wheels/tires seem a bit small and lacking grip; it was also clear that the truck would be improved by a gyro to maintain stability and stop spin outs and roll overs - especially if you're going to go crazy on the throttle like me. I found a set of 4 Vgoohobby 88mm OD tires that have narrower fronts and are slightly bigger and wider than the stock tires. I also changed to a MEUS M-06AT gyro receiver which works with a HOTRC transmitter I already own; once these were fitted, this truck had much better traction on the road and on dirt, the slightly greater diameter tires helped on grass, and the gyro tamed down all the instability and gave zero wobble, even on full speed runs. The new receiver also added the advantage that I can see the car's LiPo voltage on my transmitter. The bigger/better tires might be a matter of choice but a gyro receiver as standard would be a welcome upgrade. I'm having a lot of fun with this little truck, it's the perfect size to throw it in the car and drive at the local club, for the price it's a bargain, and now all my buddies want on too. Highly Recommended.

only four stars because there's always room for improvement. great car, super fast on pavement. pretty good on grass with bigger tires. aluminum chassis and shock towers is great but, plastic for almost everything else.... could be better. keep bashing to a minimum and you should have no problems. 1/12 scale is a lil on the small size for rougher terrain but great for skate parks. comes RTR but I would recommend a balanced full charge first. 3s, 2,200mAh battery with 35c works but doesn't last super long. 3s, 5000mAh work 50c does better. over steers just a bit but you get used to it quick. easy to get started, pull the body pins, plug the battery in, turn remote on, cut car on, put body on and fly.. easy Amazon page has just about all replacement parts you'll need. you can find em elsewhere too. comes with decals so you can personalize your car (to a point, everybody gets the same decals). i broke the a part in steering but that wasn't because of poor manufacturing, it was hitting the curb just about face on at full speed. jumped and rolled it quite a few times but the car held up pretty well. really fun car

This buggy moves! It's very fast and lively. I had to turn the throttle down to 50 to 75 percent to keep it under control. It's a blast to drive and handles dirt and short grass with ease. I haven't had anything break yet, so it seems relatively durable to me. It's not short on power, you need a big area to run it at 100%. It does land on its lid quite a bit when running fast in rough terrain. That's not surprising for a buggy. Steering response is great and I didn't have any throttle lag either. Overall, I highly recommend it, but not for children unless they are very experienced with driving rc vehicles.

almost everything about the car is good, except for one thing. The car is a little small. I expected it to be at least 15 inches in length. It is barely 12 inches long. the car seems to be good quality and is very fast. I will say it is good value for your money and give it 4 stars.

Great looking buggy. Pinion gear didn't make it through the first battery. Completely stripped. Kissing it wasn't installed properly from the factory. Buggy is supposed to be RTR so they need to make sure gearing is meshed properly out of the box IMO Battery life is great. Buggy is very fast when the pinion gear is still intact. 3s battery is quality with nice connector. Motor and ESC combo seem very solid. It states RTR, so I charged it up and drove it right out of the box. Ran it in some very short grass in my front yard. No obstacles or jumps, just flat land between that and the road. In other words I wasn't bashing on it when the pinion gear failed. Only thing you have to install is the wing. Whole car seems to be built pretty well otherwise. Went from very happy to very disappointed in the same day
