RIAARIO RC Cars Mini 1:10 RTR Brushless RC Car for Adults Max 50 mph All Terrain Hobby Trucks Electric Off-Road Monster Trucks 4WD Remote Control Car Waterproof Truck with Carbon Fiber

I started buying RC trucks for my 4 year old son a few months back. He enjoyed them and I found myself having fun too. It was a great father and son thing to do together. Unfortunately the trucks I bought kept breaking after a few days or a couple weeks use. In their defense for some of them anyways... we did beat on them pretty good. My son and I may be partly to blame on a few of them but the others broke down in very short period of time just by regular use. Whenever, a car or truck would break? I made sure to go on amazon and buy another one to replace it. I didn't want our father & son time to be ruined. At first I bought the same ones over and over again because they were fun. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought the damage could have been our fault. Due to a few mishaps while teaching my boy how to use the remote control. I soon learned we weren't the problem because the same issues happened with the replacement cars. The other companies would be nice enough to send me spare parts at no cost when I explained what happed. But even with the upgraded parts installed eventually the same issues would happen. The gears in the rear or front differential would wear out and I was right back where I started. I spent hours reading reviews trying to figure out which one would be best for $200 or less. I've probably bought about 25 RC Trucks and cars over the past few months. They were all fun and impressive at first but then a few days down the road after playing with them every day. Something would go wrong. I've learned differentials are a big problem in the RC car/truck industry. At first I had no clue how to fix my sons RC cars when they broke. Hence the reason I kept buying new ones. unfortunately i don't have an endless money pile so I was forced to watch youtube videos learning how to fix common things that go wrong. I figured I'll just buy parts and fix them myself to save money. I was pretty proud of my RC mechanical skills after a while. But no matter how hard I tried or how many times I replaced parts. It would always end the same way. The RC Truck would kick ass for a day or two and then I'd hear that grinding noise in the differential again. Even when I ordered the heavy duty replacement upgrades. The motors are so powerful in these little cars the differential couldn't handle it. I decided I'm going to give this one more try and move up my budget amount up a few bucks to see if I can find a cool RC Car or Truck that will last. I read all the reviews on this RIAARIO RC TRUCK and put it in my amazon cart for checkout. But I still hesitated thinking I'd just be disappointed again. Finally after a couple days went by seeing it still in my Amazon cart...I hit the checkout button and held my breath. I first purchased the carbon fiber one for myself of course thinking I'd better try it out myself to determine the quality before letting a 4 year old smash it into things. But after my son saw me test it out around the yard...His eyes were opened wide with excitement. I couldn't say NO and keep playing with it in front of him. So I handed him the remote and he played with it just as hard as all the others. After a week went by of constant playing every day after I picked him from daycare..The truck was still running fine with no problems. So, I decided to buy the black and yellow terminator without carbon fiber. So both of us could play together with the same badass machines. We've been at it for 3 weeks now without missing a single day of beating the sh** out of these trucks and I'm happy to say they're still tearing up the dirt, grass, rocks, jumps hills, piles of leaves, mud and puddles of water. I even made a wooden ramp which is a super thrill for my Son. OK I love jumping the trucks too...LOL These trucks have landed in every wrong way possible that would have split apart all the other trucks I previously bought. We've even run into each other by mistake.. Full speed head on collisions into each others trucks, into big trees, side of my house, mail box post. You name it, we've run into it. Each time I shuttered thinking well that one must have broken it for sure this time. but to my surprise both of these RC 1:10 Terminator Trucks are still going. It's like the old cliche....Takes a lickn and keeps on tickn. If you're on the fence about getting this truck? I guarantee I've spent more time reading reviews and researching than you even thought of. Even after all that research I still wasted a lot of money buying what I thought was going to be great only to be excited at first and then a day or two later I was disappointed each time. Take it from me....don't waste your money on those other slightly less expensive trucks like I did. Because you'll find out the parts you'll need to buy and time you'll need to spend fixing them costs you a lot more money in the long run. Plus the downtime waiting for new parts and figuring out how to replace them is no fun either. Spend a little bit more and get this truck. I haven't had to buy a single part for it yet and the differential hasn't shown any signs of weakness whatsoever. I hope this information helps whoever is reading it. This truck is rugged, powerful and worth every penny. Whether you're a Amateur or a Professional. It's so powerful & fast right out of the box.. it'll make you giggle.

RC cars come in so many sizes and price range, how do you make sense of this? I'm still fairly new and a quick study. This is the fourth RC car I've purchased this year and the most expensive. I've had it long enough to understand it will be my #1 because in spite of repeated beatings it is available to play with always. My #2 and #3 cars have broken, ordered parts, repaired and broken again while the RLAARLO handles it all... some really tough tumbles and a few stationary objects.The construction is well thought out. Just the right amount of metal, plastic, and carbon fiber in the right places. My #2 car, pretty much all metal does not do well with impact. It looks cooler only on days it's functional. The #3 car is mostly plastic and holds up pretty good overall to most tumbles but explodes on impact with stationary things like trees or teatherball poles.Now to make my point. I have spent more money on parts and more down time than fun on cars 2 and 3. So the RLAARLO car was the most expensive to purchase, however not a single failure to cause downtime or additional costs on parts replacements.I play hard with my toys, honestly most failures center around operator error. I didn't mean to hit the fence or garage. The cheaper cars will break unless you are one to be very conservative about your operation.The RLAARLO Omni Terminator is fast, and if you change the drive gear (included with car) to the larger one in the parts bag, it's faster yet. It's built well in the right places and allowed to flex with a combination of different materials.So yes, no doubt it's worth a premium for a better RC car.Truth be known, I enjoy repairing them, but it's way better to be racing it. If something funny happens I'll add to this review.Also five Stars until further noted.There is nothing not to like.These are cool and I'm old, I appreciate the technology and craftsmanship. Usually in awe of one of these things ripping up the grass or shooting stones.Addendum: Sadly a glancing blow to the wooden fence broke a few suspension pieces. The good news is that the parts for this particular car are readily available with reasonable shipping time. Still my all around favorite.Parts arrive, time to work on your hobby. Plastic parts are of a unique combination of hard, yet flexible. Everything fits with precision and it's back running tough as if it were new.We jump it hard, it's the landing's I worry about. If you don't hit something stationary, it handles the craziest heights and distances. Of all the cars I've ever purchased, this is hands down the most durable and I may purchase another to take care of while I push my original into new impossible circumstances.My bigger cars aren't as fun as this one.
