My 4 years old has a blast with it. It is pretty fast. Battery last for about 20 minuts on one charge. I cannot say how good it is offroad as we never try it.

Never ran it. When it arrived it had a broken part. It was returned without trying it.

It's ok. It moves best on pavement, slower in grass, ok on dirt, spins out a lot on loose stuff. It probably tops out at about 15-17 mph on the pavement. Cannot handle hard jumps.

Its plenty fast its the torque you want. Thats why you want the lipos they hold even charge providing burst for jumps and passing.

If you looking for something in rc construction but not too worried about the overall functionality or strength, you could try the Hobby Engine brand. I bought one and personally didn't care for it so I sent it back. But if you want to spend some real money I hear that RC4WD makes a pretty good line of construction rc. But your talking a hole lotta bucks. If your just looking for a kid then just get the $54.00 1/18 scale one here on Amazon.

Hello Sharon, i would suggest the traxxas Stampede if you want to use the vehicle in the grass as well as the street and the cheaper model can be upgraded to go just as fast as the more expensive models. 35 miles per hour is pretty fast for someone who is not really into racing but just wants to have fun and obtain a quality remote control vehicle. As i suggest to everyone to use rechargable batteries in transmitter and invest in a quick charger for truck battery. Charge time is 40 min vs. 8 hours to play with vehicle. I hope this helps! Also Merry Christmas!!!

hi...The original roller racer 5000a is amazing..very high quality and smooth performance...my 4 yr old granddaughter and all the neighbor kids love it....can't compare it though as I've never had a flying turtle....

I have taken it out on some very steep and rocky singletrack and it performs very well. I have not jumped yet.

FWIW, only had it for a few thousand miles, but I use my wing for a work commuter; part of the trip being on some seriously rough roads...so the miles rack up pretty hard and fast- I'm happy with it (and the higher amperage output). Would recommend it without a doubt. The bike also runs noticeably stronger since installed.

I used mine to cruise around and hills so I suppose it would be good for commuting. Keep in mind it's a bigger board that you'd have to lug around. Speed is okay but I upgraded the bearings in mine so it was faster.

I'm very happy & satisfied with Hangkai 2 cycle boat engine. I guess It's manufactured by (Generic) a well known Company for Generators & other equipment here in USA... As far as 12 miles a hour -- it's a stretch..Depends on the weight of your boat, occupants and gear, --- In very still waters -- I would bet it will exceed 7 mph easily... How about this for thought: Engine will run on full Throttle for like 2-3 hours on 1 tank of fuel & you will be very far from home.... For the Money it's a great value vs, prices of other boat engines... Like you, I was hesitant about purchase, turned out to be a great fun & investment.

Don't expect to catch any air time. This is slow. It's primary feature is that it can crawl over things. But its turning radius is so wide, that you can't really enjoy it that much; even outside. My son plays with pretty much any other RC vehicle but this one. A cheap, fast one is a better option.

I am 58 and this was my first RC Car. The standard battery will be fine to learn the controls, however do your research and upgrade your battery once you feel confident. It took me about a week chasing the cats around the living room each evening doing figure 8...LOL I picked up 2 LIPO batteries 25C 7.4V 2S 2-Cell 2200mAh Lipo Batt:TRA 1/16 Modland a Traxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH ChargerTraxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH ChargerBEFORE YOU BUY...do you homework on LIPO Batteries.The LIPO's will give you the "kick ass" speed and power you will want and appreciate. I live on a golf course and in between golfers I sometimes race it out on the fairway and open it up..."wow". It goes fast. As far as 4 Wheel Drive...YES, YES & YES!Enjoy!

In suburban conditions, GMRS (if you are licensed on this frequency) could give you 1.5 miles (as the crow flies), but it's really stretching it. FRS will give you 500 yards, plus or minus. Out on rolling range, I have done better, but when you are out of the line of sight, it's not good no matter the conditions. I have used both Motorola and Midland and Midland has superior propagation, but these types of radios are by their nature a half step above a toy. If you want additional range, get an amateur license and operate on the 2 meter band, but that is a process and the equipment cost is is not $60 set for a set.

Yep just make sure you don't have a brushless and you should be good to go, I also used it to upgrade an old analog control in a classic RC-10

I have no way of testing actual true speed, but I'm sure it will travel at the advertised 25 MPH. It is FAST and tons of fun to drive. Mine has been flipped once but it is very good and stable if and when driven properly. I am only a beginner to intermediate at running fast boats and my Whiplash 24 is the most boat for the money of the five boats I have. Don't hesitate to buy!!!

As a mobility scooter rider it is always a concern to know will my batteries last to get me home. I try to keep on top of this by closely monitoring distance traveled on a fresh charge. RMS amps per hour are useless for this purpose. I know I can do a 10 mile round trip on level ground with my scooter. Won't try a long steep hill on a 10 mile trip but 4 miles works. How much more??? Trial and error and judgment. Too many variables to engineer a neat answer in advance.

Gail. I don't own one of these but I am pretty sure you WILL NOT be able to run two trains at the same time - at least with independent throttle control. If running two trains on different tracks, you would be looking at getting either the MTH Z4000 or the MRC Pure Dual Power, both of which have connections for two tracks. These are expensive and designed mainly for larger layouts so to simply save some money, you might be better off just buying two of the MTH Z1000 if you have a smaller layout.
