DEERC Brushless RC Car for Adults 1:14, Max 43mph RC Truck, 4WD Off-Road Monster Truck with 7-Color Lights & 3 Light Modes, Metal Oil Shocks, 2*7.4V Batteries, All-Metal Drivetrain, Compatible 3S Lipo

Let me start off by saying, I am an extra average RC enthusiast. That means I don't play with ridiculously expensive, 4 to 6s $1500 RC's. I have a boatload of what I would consider "Extra Meduim" cars and trucks.

I have to say overall, DEERC is absolutely one of my favorite brands and for a very specific reason. They have RC cars for exactly what I shop for. Good, heavy duty, but still fun RCs with kids in mind. I would panic if my children demolished a $900 Traxxas build or whatnot, but DEERC comes in clutch with mid tier hobby/toys without completely breaking the bank with trucks that I wouldn't cry if they got destroyed.

This truck fits right in our RC family, with a reasonable price range (Currently roughly $100 with coupons but I expect this to eventually be below $90) and a durable, fun and all out rowdy experience.

This is a 1/14 scale, but I would almost put it to 1/16 (see comparison to the gold truck that is also a DEERC 003E 1/14 scale) but it does have the same size tires, which allows it to rip about 3 inch grass without too much trouble, especially with the given four wheel drive.

This truck is absolutely bonkers, even on 2s (7.4v). It will literally almost flip over backwards with power. I really like cars this size as they're not too huge for young ones but not so small they can't handle grass.

This thing is also supposedly 3s capable! I can't even imagine it not literally exploding the tires on 3s.

It has heavy durable plastics for the body and chassis, metal dogbones, and some really cool chassis and roof lights that are adjustable, color and flashing.

This truck runs right with the 003E speed wise and absolutely smokes the 9207E ("1/10" pink one).

The only negative I think of that even given its 3s capable, and it does have a deans cord, is that it might take a certain size battery to fit in the clamp. That is better than the special battery requirement on the 9207E. That while having a deans connecter, doesn't have a cord, just a prong sticking out so you couldn't really upgrade the battery. This one still probably could receive an upgrade, it would just take a specific size. And also I really like the charge status indicator on each battery. There is a button to press that shows state of charge via red lights.

Overall, I love the insane speed, lights, reasonable durability and fancy remote along with a 3s option. It's a hair smaller than a 1/14 and might be a little specific if upgrading to 3s battery. But it fits right in with DEERC vehicles in my opinion and makes a wonderful addition to my families RC collection!

This RC car is cool my teen son loves is it’s fast and spins it’s a great value and is pretty strong the remote uses 4 double AA batteries and the car comes with a charging cord this is perfect for adults and teens

I have gotten, and been let down by many RC toys. This one, is not a let down in any way. It rips across the yard, it IS 4wd, it's been super durable so far, even the plastic shell. I have flipped it, had it do cartwheels across the yard, straight up run into rocks, and it's still going strong. It does come with 2 replacement control arms, I will definitely need those, but that on my driving skills right there. As an adult man, I didn't understand why other adult men were into RC cars, I get it now. This thing is fun and in the time I've had it, it's just as fun everytime I use it

I have a AARMA car. So i kinda compare it to that. This looks much bigger in the photos. But its about the size of a regular to kids car. About half of a AARMA. But for the price, this is a great car. I was very surprised at the power of it. Its pretty fast and the controller is almost identical to one of those more expensive cars. This is a good starter car for those who want to get into that hobbie. Very fun toy.

While I am familiar with RC planes, this is my first DEERC RC car so I have nothing for comparison but the fun factor. First, the RC car is very well built and contain quality components that work well under heavy use. Many of the chassis and motor parts are machined aluminum and not only look good, but perform well. The [oil-filled] shocks took a beating from this amateur driver and keep the car on track and stable even over rough (rocks) terrain. The car is very fast and can cover the distance over a large yard before I can remember which way to turn the control wheel to turn the way I want to go (lol). After a couple of hours of battery recharging and driving time, I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in model RC cars/trucks. It is truly a blast to operate and my wife wants another one so that she can prove that she is a better RC drive than I am… Bring it on!!! lol
PROs:
• Fast and fun
• Brushless motor (while I am not an RC expert, I know that brushless motors in my workshop tools perform better, have less friction, are quieter, and have no brushes to wear out/replace)
• Easy to pair with the hand controller
• Two battery packs (7.4V @ 2000mAh)
• 4-Wheel Drive
• Steering is solid and stays true once calibrated
• Metal (aluminum) gears
• 2000mAh battery which lasted about 16 minutes on smooth terrain but less so on grass
• Wheelie bar included
• Many extra parts as pit stops in the yard have a tendency to “eat” small parts
• Two replacement suspension A-frames
• LED lights and ground effects
CONs:
• Top skin is a bit flimsy (however, I understand the weight and breakability issues)
• Need more than one RC car to settle competition challenges
• A little pricier than comparative models
Five stars for me
