Review: Good value brushless rc truck, fun, quick. Put some buggy
tires on it and thank me later - Would be a 4/5 star product if
it was more expensive, but I have to be fair and give it a 5/5
star rating based on price, features, and value. ****I paid for
this vehicle with my own money and am not affiliated with the
brand or desertcart.**** I've wanted a smaller 1/14 scale
brushless truck for awhile but didn't really know what to go
with. I also wanted something relatively cheap so I can beat it
around and not feel bad for doing so. With the coupon and already
fairly low price I think I paid just over 90 dollars after taxes.
So far so good. I put about 20 battery cycles through it so I
feel like I have a pretty good idea of how it currently is. I've
never purchased Deerc products before (I did purchase a pink
Deerc truck for the kiddo at the same time as this one) so I was
going in blind, but the reviews seemed promising. I purchased it
and a couple days later it arrived. First impressions were
positive, the truck itself seems sturdy enough, all metal
drivetrain which is a must for brushless, adjustable suspension
components, decent sized tires, etc. The controller is ok, the
steering wheel has a really stiff spring but it feels OK.
Throttle trigger is good and it is kind of cool how you can
change the color of two separate sets of LEDs on the truck itself
from the transmitter. Kind of a gimmick but I'm into it. Throttle
trim is good and linear, which I appreciate. 4wd system is great
and offers plenty of traction, the diffs are fantastic and
smooth. The whole drive train seems good which is a huge positive
point. The batteries it comes with are 7.4 volt Li-ion. Not lipos
so don't expect to hit speeds of 40+ mph out of the box. Ive
noticed for some reason Deerc likes to use proprietary battery
packs. And they designed the battery tray specifically for them.
I don't really like that for hobby cars but they include two
batteries so that's good. It claims to be 3s compatible and I'll
try that out here soon but I wanted to give a review of it being
(mostly) stock and out-of-the-box. The included batteries do
allow it to hit some pretty impressive speeds, considering it's
just 2s with a fairly low amp rating. You definitely want to
install the wheelie bar, it will easily pull wheelies with a
fresh battery. And 4 wheel burnouts. Battery doesn't last all
that long though, maybe 18 minutes. But you'll definitely have
fun during those 18 minutes. Plus you get two so call it 40
minutes of play time. The steering servo is a little under
powered but its adequate. I'm probably just used to other brands
of servo motors so I'm a tad biased. The components seem pretty
tough, at least at 2s speeds. I've crashed it into things (some
on purpose, some on accident) and nothing has broken so far. Even
the body shell has held up fine, which surprised me. The chassis
is not metal, its very chunky plastic or nylon, but that's not
really an issue. It feels more than strong enough. Not sure why
but they use Phillips head screws to hold everything together,
but they do the job and I guess make it easier for some people to
work on? I like hex screws but maybe its more just a ritual thing
for me. When you're driving it around it does feel snappy, but
the short wheel base makes it very easy to flip, especially on
grass. Oh and speaking of grass, with the included tires, it
easily handles grass, gravel, asphalt, sand, concrete, rocky
terrain, hills, and wet environments. I drove it though standing
water and soaked every component and it still worked, so no
complaints there. Range seems fine, I've had it over 150 feet
away and it never lost connection or anything. And the control
response feels immediate, no delay or dead spots. I tried putting
smaller buggy tires on it to see how it was and honestly I like
it so much better this way. Its almost like a rally car. So I'll
probably keep it in that configuration until I get it set up to
accommodate a 3s lipo cell. Even then I'll probably keep it with
buggy tires. I just really like how it handles and looks with
them on it compared to the monster truck tires. Would I buy this
again? Maybe, if it was still on sale. But probably only then.
However, for under 100 dollars delivered, I was pleasantly
surprised with this little truck. I do think anyone who's
starting to get into the RC vehicle hobby would genuinely enjoy
this truck. Just maybe put smaller tires on it, and I really wish
Deerc would stop setting up their vehicles with these proprietary
batteries. Other than that, I'm starting to like this brand.
Would definitely recommend.
Review: Handles like a champ. - This is a superb rc car. It’s
extremely fast and the steering is smooth. The color changing led
lights it has are bright and livid. It handles nice. Customer
support thru DEERC is great and if you message them on their
website it takes no time to hear back. It takes off like a rocket
and the wheelie bar prevents it from flipping at take off. They
have all the extra accessories and replacement parts on their
website at DEERC.com, which are reasonably priced. I am impressed
by the performance and power of the car. It’s definitely worth
every penny. DEERC is a great manufacturer of rc vehicles in my
opinion.The parts for this model the 1611 are easily available on
their website. Their customer service team is amazing and
responds very quickly, they are very helpful and are very
resourceful. DEERC is an amazing company and I will definitely be
using them in the future. Thank you DEERC. I’m itching to take it
back out!
