MoGGsiE 26/11/2023
Fantastic living room racers. These inexpensive little cars are great value for money. Fast, lightweight, robust (yeah anything can be broken if mistreated) and ready to run out of the box. Just pop in two AA batteries into the controller. In the box there is the car with battery, a remote controller, a change of tires to drift, a charger, a manual, some spare body-pins, and a couple of wing mirrors. Steering and throttle are fully proportional with a clever addition of a throttle trim knob to smoothly adjust the amount of power output to the wheels. Meaning that the car/controller be easily adapted, easing new or inexperienced drivers into the seat. So everything fine there. One thing I did notice is, that after a time, the cars no longer rolled freely after releasing the throttle and also struggled with reversing. After closer examination I found that the cars had managed to collect every hair and bit of dust from the floor (and I thought I'd cleaned it) and wrapped it around the rear axle creating friction. So I recommend occasional maintenance. To do this just take off the bodyshell and very carefully the rear wheels. The hair can then easily removed (see photos). MoGGsiE's secret weapon. To reduce the hair collecting problem, what I do now before each race is to send a minesweeper out a few times around the track. For the minesweeper, I use one of the cars and put some decorators tape under the chassis (sticky side out). As you can see from the photos it's an effective method for finding the stuff my vacuum didn't. The method is easy, just stick it to the inside of the body shell from left to right, leaving a little slack but not to much. It's best to use the 3cm wide, easy removable, crepe tape. The photos also show a second run with some fresh tape and as you can see it's way better. I hope you find this helpful. The front wheels seem less effected by this issue but it's good to check them from time to time. Thanks to all for a speedy delivery.

These are lovely little living room racers. My initial feeling that they are way too overpowered and fragile was soon proven wrong. Yes, out of the box, these little lightweight racers actually have more power then they can put down and are basically uncontrollable on a shiny living room floor but the clever people who made these have thought of that and have included a magic knob on the transmitter. With this knob I can literally freely adjust the amount of power going to the throttle. And Wow! The car suddenly becomes alive and dream to drive. I can freely adjust and fine tune the amount to suit my driving style making it go from lunacy to nicely edgy or pleasantly tame for a younger or inexperienced driver. This fine tuning feature helps me to learn how to drive the car without a lot of the frustration of a beginner. The acceleration is smooth and controlled reducing the learning curve. I personally prefer a more rally style of driving as opposed to pure drifting and these cars offer me that and after a little practice I can even execute handbrake turns. And although, at first, I said the vehicles were slightly flimsy they a quite robust. Their super lightweight design makes them safe for indoor use as they just bounce off things without damaging them or themselves, with little to no danger of injury. Surprisingly the cars have a gyro and also a connector for a wifi camera. They also have a simple front and rear suspension system which is perfectly adequate for their indoor use. The cars have an led light which is cleverly projected by the body-shell as an under light, so a lot of thought has gone into the whole design. The cars, I ordered two, arrived safe and undamaged in just under two weeks so many thanks to Banggood, the seller and everyone involved. If I had one gripe it would be that the controller is a little small for my adult hands but that is not a problem, I soon adapted. Would I recommend this product? Yes. For anyone looking for a fun, inexpensive indoor racer or slot car alternative this hits the spot. The Magic speed adjustment knob put the biggest smile on my face, so thanks for that guys. I hope you enjoyed this review.

BG448 Oh and another nice touch is that the controller beeps when the car battery is low so you have time to drive the car back to you for a battery change.

BG448 Just under the price and description you'll find a little box with "type, ship from". Click on the arrow to expand the box and choose the model 14302.
