I've reviewed many DEERC products in the past couple years. It's a top notch company with a name to protect and they usually don't disappoint. This one was no exception. At this price point, as of this review $120, I expect a little more from an rc racer than some of the lesser priced ones. This one comes with a brushless motor, and an all metal drivetrain. I've found that DEERC usually builds quality into their rc products. The all metal drivetrain with dual differentials is an example. This one has the look and feel of an ALMOST hobby grade 1/14 racer. If it had oil filled shocks and a 3S (11.1V) battery/motor it would be getting much closer to a hobby grade rc car. That said, for the price they want, this one performs. It's low center of gravity helps it hug the 45 degree concrete walls at the local skateboard park. The two 1500mAh batteries each get you a good 20-25 minutes of fun. DEERC builds these rugged and they seem to take more abuse than others I have reviewed. This one is a winner. It's a little pricey, but the quality fit and finish makes that worth those extra dollars.
