I have just let my 5 year old nephew test mine and it passes with flying colours. I wanted to make sure it was worth it before I posted and it certainly is. I own a few hobby-grade RC cars and while this isn't hobby grade it is quite good build quality and amazing for this price. Parts are also available to repair it, though after the thrashing it got today, and survived, I don't think you'll need to repair it that often!
I don't think the battery is built in. Looks like it is removable here: https://youtu.be/UgMsTAVxZOg?t=1m8s
WOW…that's a pretty good price.
Looks like a rip-off of either the Revo or Jato from Traxxas. But for $45 I will give it a go. I tried to find it in 4WD (2WD can be tricky) but it looks like it is only 2WD.
Seems like it is a LOT more expensive on other ebay shops: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-4G-4CH-RC-Truck-Car-Toy-with-2-…
Nice find OP…Any videos you know of on youtube?
It's not bad at all. It certainly has enough power to be fun. It's only a brushed motor but they sell replacements so I'm not too worried about that. The battery is good too, 10 minutes is probably minimum, we got a good 15 today I reckon, and it was going hard right up until the end, same power curve as a lipo, I was impressed. Build quality was good, nothing loose, bearings throughout, I reckon it will last a while.
Thanks for the info. Can you confirm if the battery is removable?
@Tony555: Yeah it's removable, and you can buy extras. I'm not a big fan of the AU plug adapter they include for the charger, but that's a small gripe.
its sold out
im after a cheapish remote control truck, doesnt have to be fancy, just cheap
got any reccomendations?
@furythree: just looked at this at 6am and my link says there's 10 available so may have only been temporary
@furythree: There's a few back on sale, otherwise I own one of these and is still running after 2 years and many crashes, can get parts online. For a kid who's going to be crashing all the time better with this
@addison8019: I would really appreciate if you post or pm details of the battery so I can get a couple when I buy this (if more stock becomes available) as I need to spend $100 to use my groupon voucher. Thanks!
@autocader: This is sold under multiple names, the best thing is to just google s911, that will bring it up. I have found these batteries in multiple stores in blue as well as black, mine says it's a lipo but it isn't lol. Just hunt around, gearbest has parts for this one sale right now I noticed. The car itself is on sale as well which only a bit more than the original post http://www.gearbest.com/r-c-cars/pp_145941.html
@addison8019: thanks mate but those are more expensive than this post.
its been relisted so ill buy this instead
saw a video from gearbest and it looks insane!
@furythree: I think he is talking about this one http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_227343.html
The price seems very low compared to other sellers, is this legit? sometimes if its to good to be true, it usually is.
I got mine, no idea why it's so cheap just take advantage of it, true bargainers buy first and ask questions later lol
True. Bought. Ta OP.
Not really sure why I am getting down voted for asking a question. But fools and their money will easily be parted.
I click buy it now but it says buyer does not post to your address. Others get this?
It's not out of stock?
Back in stock
4 left as of writing
Out of stock :-(
Back in stock
Please post any good deals on LIPO batteries.
I just buy them from Hobbyking, don't know of anywhere else that sells decent ones cheap
I second dat.
What did you search for? I get no results when searching for S911.
Btw, this is the cheapest I could find on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/172218901670
http://www.gearbest.com/rc-cars/pp_154471.html $11.99 I have bought several batteries from Gearbest for my R\C Helicopter, all have been good except one batch which they sent replacements for without having to send the faulty ones back to them.
still available just bought one for the little one
Seems quite a lot of ozb fellows bought this, anyone in the South East wanna meet up at the park and do some drags :)
Bring your drones too
The item says "Support over 8 cars to compete at the same field", how hard is it to switch freqs to allow multiple cars at once?
