Danchee Trail Hunter 1/12 Scale Remote Control Rock Crawler Off Road Truck, Blue

Best Rock Crawler around for the price, anything $50 or lower cant touch this in quality. Nice that you can pop out the AA battery tray and use your own battery, I added my own JST connector and now can use a Lipo battery various sizes from 1300-1500mah 20c, I would not go over 20c rating on this truck, picks the speed up quite a bit. I also added my own $5 LED front and back lights. I have a 1/8th scale maxstone rock crawler, I like this one so much better for inside and around my yard. The AA batteries do work fine but I would either recommend using Re-Chargeables or popping out the tray and using a battery pack or better yet a lipo. the connector is a mini tamiya, plenty of adapters out there to go from a mini tamiya to a more common end like JST, XT60, Bullet, Traxxas whatever end you get for the battery you want to use. extremely happy with the truck

He of course loved it but his dad and the other older children loved it maybe even more! I had fun with it. From the research I did, this was the only RC rock crawler / etc type of RC that had proportional steering and throttle for this price range. One of the others I was considering (by Maisto) at same price point was ON/OFF type of control (i.e. full left/right steer and full/no throttle) and was even noted for indoors only from one of the comments. Given all 4-5 star ratings (although not many to go by), I ordered the truck. I was impressed just looking at in the box when it came in. It looked well constructed and had features such as replaceable body, shocks, etc that I didn't really expect at this price point. I also ordered the associated battery pack (available separately on Amazon) to go with it since some of the ratings talked about how many batteries you'd go thru otherwise. After removing the 6 AA battery carriage (via 4 screws) and inserting the battery pack, we put it to the test. From the ratings, I was expecting it to do well, but it blew us all away! One of the 4 star ratings critiqued it as slow (since it was a crawler). So I was expecting it to "crawl" granny style all the time. Noooo... it really scooted fast! (Keep in mind I'm not experienced with gas powered RC type of racers, so this is likely slow in comparison to those). We ran the RC all around the front yard thru thick grass, mondo grass edging, a pile of old grass clipping, and over various bumps in the yard with ease. Then we dug out some split firewood pieces that was higher than the top of the truck, and it went flying up and over that without any problems. I think we ran it for a good 1/2 hour and didn't run out of power yet. It was getting late, so we had to put it up for now. Regarding use by my 3 year old grandson, he was picking up quickly how to drive it and really having a ball with it. So with close supervision, even the younger ones will enjoy this. Time will tell how well this will hold up with all the grandkids, but I'm guessing it'll do pretty well as long as it's handled like an RC. Shoot, I'm tempted to order another one for myself and maybe more for the other grandkids to race them together.

I bought another RC car for just under $30 that was just forward backward left and right. I thought it was a good deal til I saw this one with digital proportional control. I read the reviews and bought one without the optional battery. Removed the AA holder and soldered in a 2pin JST wire connector.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0132CPZSY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I also bought two Turnigy 1000mAh Lipo Packshttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072AEHIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1also the EV-PEAK E4 charger.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCRDNGJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1With the Lipo battery it really hauls. :-)Then I saw a the used Danchee Trail Hunter's were going for about $10 with tax so I bought it. The great thing was whoever bought and returned it must have been so disappointed by its performance with Alkaline AA's that they forgot to remove the brand new AA's. I got 10 free like new AA batteries I can use in the remote. :-)I tried it out with the Alkaline AA's and like all the reviews say it moves slow and certainly not in grass. I immediately modded it for the extra 1000mh LiPo battery and it was hauling the mail just like the first one. :-)Conclusion, don't buy this if your not going to buy the optional Ni-Mh battery or mod it for a LiPo battery. But if you read the reviews you would already know that.In short I think this was an incredible deal for only $10 to $12, LiPo battery ($13), charger ($36), plus connectors.

I tested this before giving to my nephew, and I'm glad I did. With 6 Rayovacs it is fairly slow (expected, it's a CRAWLER) and can only crawl over a shoe if you hit it at full speed. Turns very poorly on carpet, but is proportional. It requires a double trigger press to activate reverse which can extend gearbox life. This pulls too much juice for AA's, dropping from 9 volts to below 5. This is where it gets interesting: you can pull out the AA tray with 4 screws and access a "mini-tamiya" connector! (note: the connector polarity is REVERSE of normal).With a smaller 7.4v Lipo this thing became a ROCKET! It was able to climb big shoes from a stand-still like my $300 Axial; at speed it gets airborne. Steering is also much faster & stronger. I also tried a 9.6v airsoft battery and it was even faster, but I doubt it could handle it long. The 7.2v battery and charger set Amazon links you to should be all set to work, but if you use any other battery you MUST flip the wires. 7.2v and 8.4v NiMH airsoft batteries will work fine if you velcro them to the top of the chassis. Sub-C 7.2v batteries are a bit heavy but work. If your kid tends to crash a lot, a 6v receiver battery may be the best option.If this can't handle a crazy 6yr old I won't be too worried. It's cheap enough to replace, and it's cheap enough where you should spring for a decent rechargeable battery. It will save you money in the end!

Si contradigo a los comentarios anteriormente publicados quizás sí sea porque tuve suerte, aparte me tocó de súper-oferta a apenas 233 pesos.Pero me gustaría comentar algunas cosas.Cuando me interesa algún producto que en México aún no tiene muchas calificaciones primero veo si se vende en Amazon US o en Amazon de mi país de origen que es Alemania. Asi también hice con éste carrito y tomé mi decisión.El carro llegó a tiempo, bien empaquetado y en perfecto estado. La primera impresión fue buenísima, aunque es muy ligero parece ser de material duradero. Los amortiguadores, los movimientos .... si tuviera que adivinar diría que es un producto de un valor de unos 1.500 a 2.000 pesos.Por haberme informado antes sí sabía 2 cosas:- No es un coche de carrera. Lo impactante es todo a lo que se sube [o baja] sin sufrir daños. O sea mas bien como un todo-terreno que uno de la Formula 1.- El uso de pilas sí es fuerte y es bastante obvio y lógico. Aqui un consejo para el vendedor: En EE.UU. se vende un Power Pack recargable que hasta ahora no puede enviar a México. Les recomiendo ampliamente conseguirlo, yo lo compraría con seguridad. Por lo pronto me lo arreglo con pilas recarcables.No hemos tenido ni unas falla técnica. En primer lugar lo compré para mi hijo pequeño [10 años] con Síndrome de Down al que le había comprado anteriormente un Mini-Drone del que resultaba que el pequeño no es capáz de manejarlo, al menos aún. Ahora está feliz con el carrito y sí sabe manejarlo ... qué emoción!!! Pero resulta que a niños más grandes e incluso adultos les ha encantado de la misma manera.En fin: Puede que dependa un poco de la suerte, pero para eso hay las devoluciones. Pero - y sobre todo que salga de nuevo a un precio de 200-y-algo pesos, a base de mi propia experiencia lo recomiendo al 100%!!!!

Venía bien empacadado para evitar daños, usa 6 pilas en el carro y 4 en el control, no es un carro rapido sin embargo es ideal para niños que apenas están aprendiendo. La direccion de un lado se traba un poco pero se puede ajustar desde el control.Por el precio pagado creo que es buen producto.**ACTUALIZACION. Compré el paquete de pilas recargables que vende Amazon USA y anda genial, un todo terreno que por el precio que pagué por el, creo que me fue una de mis mejores compras.

After a week, finally it delivered today. All the parts and the body are perfect. But, I was so dissappoint, i put six 1.5 volt battery in the truck and four 1.5 volt battery in the transmitter and recharable battery is not available. The truck can barely run. It cannot even run about only 1 meter. What should I do to make this truck as it should be

Malo a más no poder por lo que veo parece una apuesta de saber cuál sale bien y cuál no y me tocó uno malo lo bueno es que lo agarre muy barato y consume pilas a morir no lo recomiendo

acabo de abrir la caja y se va directo a devolución, es una pena, espero que sólo haya sido muy mala suerte, pero desafortunadamente el coche NO funciona, no avanza, suena como si estuvieran atorados o "amarrados" los motores, emite un ruido muy molesto y se calientan mucho las pilas al intentar usarlo.Además, creo que quizás recibí un artículo usado o mal almacenado, porque aunque la caja está en perfecto estado por fuera, sin embargo, una pequeña parte del cartón al interior del empaque está rota y sucia al igual que las llantas, las cuales tienen una capa fina de polvo, como si el coche hubiera estado almacenado por algún tiempo en algún lugar sin su caja, es en realidad extraño ya que todo el vehículo se ve nuevo e impecable, pero las llantas tienen esa capa fina de polvo, aunque igual existe la posibilidad de que sólo sea un detalle que sucedió durante una revisión de aduana.Probé con dos juegos diferentes de baterías nuevas y recargables cargadas al 100% y siempre se presentó el mismo problema, intenta avanzar pero da la impresión de que los motores se encuentran atorados por el ruido que hace, estoy muy molesta, porque lo necesitaba para dar un regalo a mi sobrino en unos días por su cumpleaños y ahora tengo que iniciar un proceso de devolución que espero no sea muy tardado, ya no me está gustando este sitio, mi pedido anterior de unos tenis nunca me llegó porque dañaron el empaque y me cancelaron en automático, de igual manera se trataba de un regalo que ya no pude dar, segundo regalo con el que me queda mal amazon, por lo cual no creo conveniente seguir comprando aquí.anexo las fotos y video de la situación que describo, pido de antemano disculPas por el video pero es lo mejor que pudo hacer mi esposogracias por leer mis comentarios, espero les sean de utilidad
