This one any good, worth buying ?
Only for kids to crash and burn with.
Tiny car battery. Most likely no spare parts for it. Break an axle or steering rod and it goes in the bin.
Land fill
i mean effectively all their toys end up in landfill… my kid is going to be asking for a Tesla Model XYZ in 2040 when he's a teen and will we remember all the various toys we bought him?
i mean for $20 this isnt too bad
The 22nd and 24th they other deals on rc cars maybe better to wait?
Ok Thanks
The 22nd is;

You have to wait for those dates listed to get the discounted price which is not marked down yet on the website
I need that rock crawler to keep the cats entertained..
@J B S: Don't forget the RC car today, I waited until 2am and it never discounted. Only dropped $10 not long ago but grabbed one anyway.
There are plenty of cheap RC cars at Kmart for around this same price.
Here's a 2 pack of mini RC cars for $25.
https://www.kmart.com.au/product/128-remote-control-rally-ex…One works great but the other one in pack does not work properly
So technically, only a 1 pack.
No no, that 's still a 2 pack … RC car and roulette game in one! :-P
My bad.. 😅
one thing i would point out is this unit has what looks like to be proportional steering and power
that makes a BIG difference compared to the -/0 type digital stuff on cheap units
i seriously think this is the cheapest proportional rc car i've seen
AND it comes with a battery… the cheapo kmart stuff does not
this is from some who wasted too much money on Tamiya and other rc stuff as a kid
Just wondering what is "proportional steering and power" ?
it means that on cheap cars you go full left or full right or full power when you hit the buttons… makes movement jerky… its just an on off button
a proportional car has a potentiometer that allows you to go 23% power or 60% left or 15% right (or whatever you want) like in a real car so movement is smooth and like… a real car… sort of
this make sense on 4wd type cars as you can rock crawl the speed
Thanks for the info :)
That's great to have and would give you greater control.Bought the car and the steering and power does have different levels, thanks for the info unexpected bonus and a lot of fun for $20
I know exactly what you mean — but unfortunately I think this is just a copy of those better remotes, but that still is only full left/full right, not analog/proportional at all.
Thanks, grabbed a couple. I'll look at what I can do to modify these to add a FPV camera and a bigger battery.
