My son wanted to use his birthday money to buy an RC car. We picked out a really cool looking one from Walmart for $30 and the thing wouldn't even go in our gravel driveway. We promptly took it back and headed to the hobby store to see what they had. They had a sister brand to Traxxas that were smaller 1:18th scale trucks that fit the bill but were $150. He didn't have that much money to spend so I was going to spend the extra to get him something good. We decided to look online and ran across this little gem called the Rampage. It's got an adjustable fast/slow speed on the remote which is great for a kid learning to drive or even in tight places. It's still pretty fast in "slow" but when in high speed it's almost too fast to control at times but helps it actually still drive through tall grass. We have jumped it off huge ramps, crashed it into brick walls, and the thing just keeps going. The only issue we've had was a bad charger that we got replaced. The only other issue is we've had an axle come out of the hub twice. Once was because of a loose screw which we tightened down, and once was because my dog chased it and bit it hard. Each time was an easy fix and it just popped right back in and we were off and running again. It comes with 2 batteries and they charge in about an hr and last 15-20mins each. This package has everything you need to get going and drive for a while. You can find replacement batteries for as cheap as $12 a piece(links above) and upgrading the shocks from the stock(which are just springs with not dampening) to the oil filled dampened metal ones for $20(link above) is a great upgrade and makes a huge difference. It helps it soak up jumps better but most of all makes it easier to drive. Before in our gravel driveway if you got going fast, it would bounce all over the place so bad you couldn't control it. With the upgrade it is much easier to control. For the money, this RC can't be beat. At least from what I've experienced. My 6yr old does great with it but I wouldn't suggest it for anyone younger.

This RC truck has great steering control and is durable to crashes. The strap in battery makes for easy battery swaps. Slow mode is great for learning and fast mode is really fast. Very fun rc.

So I bought this a couple months ago and it is very good for the price I got it for, but on the occasional uses that I use this for, the motor gets so hot it smokes and occastionly fire but it still works like nothing has every happened, i don't know how that happens but it does, if this happens to anyone else, let it cool off and pour a little water on it if it gets Ingulfed in flames, which hassent happened yet. Other than that it is very durable, it is very stable for begginers as it DOES NOT wobble at high speeds of it's max 20 mph, and yes it's a very fun rc car to pick up and use as it's the best 1/18 scale rc car that can go in the grass no problem-o unlike other rc cars and still be stable. It's very quite, I haven't broken the steering on it unlike other rc cars I've used in the past, and you cannot flip it at max speed while Turing it. One thing that everyone can do as a "modification" is lube up the drive shaft with WD-40 and the shocks as well and you get extra speed with no decrease to battery life! Great for the price

I have over 20 years of RC experience flying model airplanes with some toy level RC Cars and Boats. Lately, I have taken an interest in taking a low-cost step up in the RTR RC vehicle area. This will be my report on my new truck. While I plan to use this to teach my 4 year old Grandson, the truck is for me. Goals - Able to run on my lawn Proportional steering and throttle A training tool for my Grandson So far, I am impressed with this relatively low-cost package. I look at this as an entry-level RC hobby class vehicle rather than a toy class package. Your smileage may vary. For the price, you get a full package that works well, but you can upgrade it. Reports I have read say the upgrades make a big difference, but I like it just the way it is, at least for now. Batteries - It includes two hobby-grade 2-cell 850 mah lithium batteries. There is no C rating on the batteries. The batteries have balance plugs and use the same Deans connectors I use for my RC airplanes. To my surprise, the included USB charger cable does a good job of charging these 2-cell batteries.You have to supply the charging block. After charging, I pulled out my test equipment, and sure enough, the batteries were charged to 8.12V, about 95% of a full charge for this type of Lipo. I checked the balance on the cells, and they were properly balanced. Motor - The motor is listed as a 380 brushed motor. (There is a brushless upgrade kit available.) After running the truck in my yard and in the street, it has plenty of power. Radio/Throttle -The hand control is a side steering wheel style. Throttle control is fully proportional and includes reverse. It has a low-speed and high-speed setting, which can limit the top speed. This will be helpful when teaching my Grandson. When I took it to the street and set it to the low/slow setting, the truck was still fast enough to be fun with smooth turns. When set on Normal/high, this baby flies down the street. Make a hard turn at top speed, and it goes through an exciting skidding turn and can even spin, but remains stable. I have not seen any tendency to flip. I was messing around to get a feel for the slide and bashed into the curb. No damage! Steering - The steering is fully proportional and provides smooth control. Body - This has a pickup truck-style thin shell body that is held on with 4 clips. It has hard bumpers, front and back, to help you avoid damage to the body. It comes with a thin plastic film over the body that the instructions say to remove. I plan to leave the film on to help with endurance. Amazon reviews say the clips that secure the body are easy to lose. They do include an extra set of clips, but the ones that came attached look plenty secure to me. I presume the risk is more about dropping them in the grass. Water - The specs indicate that this is highly water-resistant, so it should withstand wet grass, mud, and puddles. They do caution against submerging it. There are upgrade options that offer a brushless motor and ESC/Receiver. You can get upgraded shocks, and additional batteries. I believe there is a tire package, too. My Grandson and I are in for a fun time with this truck.

This little sucker is fast and fun to play with. It’s a little smaller than a similar priced one I bought about 5 years ago but this one is 10x more durable. It doesn’t break every time you wreck it. I highly recommend it!

Even on slow mode, this RC truck is super fast on straightaways and flat surfaces. I use it to play with my two fur babies, and they absolutely love it. It comes with two batteries so charging isn't an issue. We play with one while the other is charging. However, it only takes about an hour and a half or so to charge. Because we use this on grass in our backyard, the battery doesn't last except for maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Although, when we use it in the driveway it lasts longer. I don't mind because it does have the two batteries that we alternate. Speaking of batteries, it is quite simple and quick to remove the spent battery and exchange it for a fresh one. Even with one battery, this tires my pups out from chasing it all over the backyard. With that said, we have already lost 4 of the clips that hold the plastic truck cover. That is because once my dog catches it he tries to "kill" it and chomps down on it. (It's slower on grass and therefore he can catch it every once in a while. So, I keep it on fast mode on the grass, and slow it down when we're on concrete.) It turns left or right with ease, but it goes so fast that it's hard for me to control. However, there's a knob you can use to adjust the turning sensitivity. (I'm still fine tuning it.) This is my first legitimate RC car, and both my pups and I love playing with it. I wished I would have seen the brushless motor version as I would have purchased that one instead. (I knew this was a brushed motor, but got distracted looking at other cars, and bought this one by mistake, albeit a happy mistake.) I'll try to upload a video of it (and my pups) in action.

Update! Ok manual states charger will have solid red light and blinking green light while charging. Both batteries when put on the charger seem to be charging, as the red light is on and green light blinking. After 3.5 hours of charging per battery neitherof them finished charging, or atleast the charger status claimed they never did. I wnet ahead and pulled them off the charger to run them. 15 minutes of run time tops per battery. Ad states 40 minutes of runtime for 2 batteries. I am missing 10 minutes of run time lol. Overall kinda disapponiting the batteries charger for over 2 hours for a whopping 15 minutes of fun. Despite the reverse situationand the short battery life. The truck is a lil firecracker! Fast and will take a beating. Mixed feelings but defintely fun to play with. Wish the batteries lasted longer. I can get over the reverse but hourse of charging for 15 minutes is kinda disheartening. So after reading the manual i realized apparently the truck is set up to operate the brake/reverse the way it does so the complaint down below is invalid. no malfunction. But i dislike the way the reverse has to be engaged disengaged and engaged again if you want to go into reverse while you are traveling forward. I dont like the fact you can go from reverse to forward but not forawrd to reverse. ( Original review )... Out of the box truck is small and doesn't seem like anything special. Upon picking it up I noticed it had some weight to it. Upon further inspection I pulled the body off. Looking every inch over, I realized this is a well built machine. No defects that can be visually noticed. Now on to the controller. It is cheaply made. Comparable to remotes from RC's at Wal-Mart. No biggie though. Steering reverse button is sunken below the surface of the controller, which makes it difficult to switch the button back and forth. No biggie, as I don't plan on using it. The normal and slow button is barely above the surface just enough to get your finger on it so that's good. Now the operation of the unit. I like that it had normal and slow mode. I started out in my living room on slow. First thing I noticed was that when traveling forward, I pushed the trigger from forward to reverse and the truck slowed to a stop. I then had to let off of the trigger and push it again to go into reverse. Surely this is not how that is suppose to work. If you try go from forward to reverse the truck does not respond. Kinda frustrating. Makes the truck less fun to drive. Despite the reverse malfuntion the truck is fast and handles pretty good for how small it is. On gravel the truck bounces a lot. Doesn't do very well in uncut grass but will go through it. On pavement it is fun. Ramping it is a blast. Will do donuts on pavement. I don't like that the shocks are plastic but atleast they are adjustable. Adjusting the shocks definitely improves the handling. I also purchased the oil filled. Have yet to install. ( have installed oil filled shocks since original review) they work so much better than the factory plastics. Overall I like the truck. Disappointed in the reverse malfunction situation but I reached out to Amazon they ask if I wanted to return it. I opted to talk to the manufacturer first. I just messaged them so hopefully they can resolve my issue. Would have given this 5 stars had the reverse malfunction wasn't an issue. If they cannot help me I will be returning
