PHOUPHO Remote Control Car 1:18 Scale 45Km/h, 4WD RC, Drift Off-Road Upgraded Brush Motor with Two Rechargeable Batteries, Hobbyist Grade for Adults, Toy Gift Kids and, Blue

Bought this rc car for my 6 year old. And although it says it's for 14year old+ because of how fast it goes.My son was able to learn and control the car within one day.Durability is great,, it took a few bangs here and there in the beginning. And is still in top shape.Speed is pretty fast than most cars this size 👌The price is a steal for how this car performs 🌟Absolutely fun even for me as his dad. I'm planning to get one more for my self !

This is the second car I've bought from this manufacturer. My grandkids and I really like it. I especially like the variable controls for steering and throttle. It's not just on/off, left/right. You can gradually ease into a turn control your speed to avoid a spin-out. The car is amazingly durable too. We built a 'track' in the garage with 2x4's for an infield. Of course, we've rammed those boards going way to fast, but so far nothing has broken. I went looking to buy another car to race against and I couldn't find anything comparable for anything near the price. I highly recommend this car.

After you read this see below on how I fixed it DIY. Requires basic skills and a drill. I increased the stars a little cause it can be fixed but it’s not everyone to fix it.ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is a very cute little car made in China. Unfortunately, it gets hot really fast. I bought this car for my kid. The battery compartment and speed controller electronics compartment is completely closed, sure to protect from water and dust but a modification is possible… I’ll explain in a moment. The battery is also contributed greatly to the heat inside the main compartment. There is tiny little holes for ventilation, which is not even close to sufficient to keep this thing running. I’m sure that they built in this failsafe because cars were burning out and stopping working from the heat. But they only addressed part of the problem because they did not create a design where the air can flow sufficiently for cooling. What One can do, is simply remove the body of it to provide additional cooling. If you live, where it’s really cold out that might help you. Anything near room temp or more this will get hot and turn its self off.UPDATE:So Christmas night when my kid was sleeping I opened up the electronics compartment removed the plastic cover with a Phillips screwdriver to my work bench and drilled a few cooling holes with a 1/4 inch bit And a few smaller holes with a smaller bit.Notice the pic I attached. The green lines are the screws you need to remove under the body, the front is the left of the pic. Don’t drill on the car you’ll damage electronics…. Except for the large hole top center labeled number 4 I made that goes to through to the battery compartment. That can be done on the car. Important. Also when I opened up the cover to reveal the electronics, I noticed that there are three or four black heat sinks that stand up off the board. They are the largest black components standing up right underneath the number one that I circled on the picture. When they put this thing together in China, if there was a sloppy person putting them together, they jam some of the wires and they’re pushing the heat sings together and limiting the ability for them to cool off. You need to carefully with your hand very slowly because they can be broken easily if they are jammed together or touching each other, bend them slowly so that they have a little space between them all and make sure there’s no wires smooshed on top of them, or covering them, which will limit the heat dissipation. After you drill the holes and check the heat sink and wires you can put it back together again. However, keep in mind you have some small holes there now and you don’t want to go driving through puddles of water or large amount of dust as some may enter. Yes this is a risk. If you tape the hole closed then you ruin the point of the heat dissipation. Anyway, this was the fix for me and as soon as I did this simple thing which took me five or 10 minutes the car ran fine no longer turns off and it runs great. This little car is four-wheel-drive and it’s taken quite a bit in the last month since I wrote the original review. The battery lasts 20 - 40 min depending how you drive it. We really like this car a lot now I just wish that this modification wasn’t necessary. I also realize that not everybody’s up for doing this, so if that’s the case, then you might wanna send it back, but if you can fix it, and if you got an a jam on a birthday or holiday like I did, then this was a fix to save the day

The media could not be loaded. We had so much fun seeing how fast it can go. We also love the distance range! Its easily rechargeable, and lightweight! It can go on dirt, mud and snow(not snow yet)! It's so easy to use, and we love the suspension of the car!Its powerful, fast and turns well with the remote control. The remote control requires 2 AAA batteries.It moves forward, reverses, and goes left and right with controls. Everyone in our house is in love with 1:18 scale all terrain truck, so it was a nice addition to our collection!Overall on top of the very cute design, this RC is tough and made to last! I stopped counting how many times crashed against something or ran and flipped on the air and it doesn't even have a scratch yet. We have a great time, every-time we play with.

When I receive the Rc car it looked great charged the battery after 2 days we used the car, but something was wrong not working properly battery died fast. Got it replaced a lot better no problem easy replaced. Now working properly battery still not the best, but manageable. Skins are very thin easy to rip/break but car is fun kids love it.

This car was awesome for all of three months until the drive shaft Pinion gears went out, starting with the rear gear first and then the front one started to strip out.( the gears are plastic!!! Fyi) even tho the original add said all the gears are made of metal. They are not...The kicker is that when I went to order more pinion gears I am being told that i can't have them shipped to my address lol.Infact I have tried to ship them shipped to other addresses. So another word I tried several addresses with the same results.Final note to those who want to make their kid happy for more than a few months. I wouldn't buy this car. Unless your kid has a short Attention span and will only play with the car for a few days up to 2 months you'll be fine paying $99 for two months of fun.In my opinion, your better of going to a hobby store near your home location, where they actually carry parts for the rc cars they sell!!

The car was great the steering went out after a month or two though. They thought it was one thing but now they think it's a circuit board on the car itself or the controller. Any ideas on how to repair it would be greatly appreciated.

These things are fast. Our family has 3 of them. I do wish the other styles were available though. You can find the bodies and parts on a website in Australia but they don’t deliver to the US. I just painted mine lol. Also they should’ve added a 2nd charger with the 2nd battery. They last a bit but take about 3 hours to charge.
