About this deal
For the size and price of this remote controlled car it is ridiculously quick, capable of speeds of 70KM/H! This is thanks to its lithium polymer battery and powerful 540 motor that are usually reserved for bigger more expensive models. This is the newer "B" version with bigger and faster motor.
The 70KM/H speed claim from the manufacturer has been checked and the model reached over 72KM/H! The 540 size motor is big and powerful for a model of this size as is the two cell lithium battery that gives the buggy all of its speed. To handle the high power the model is fitted with upgraded aluminium drive shafts, drive cups and central shaft. To help keep it under control at the high speeds it has front and rear differentials, hobby grade suspension and 4 wheel drive system. The RC car comes fully assembled and complete with everything you need to get outside and hit the road apart from 4 normal AA batteries for the remote.

With nitro you spend more time fiddling about with the engine, glow plug, after burn oil and setting the fail safe button (so if the car loses connection with the remote control then it will stop rather than drive full speed into a tree).
Electric is the way to go really. (edited)
And it has a brushless motor,oil shocks, separate receiver and ECU all metal gears.
We have a few cars lol

We have some real good fun but you need lots of space as its a fast car. Cant really use it in doors.
We used it like 4 times but last time we went all out and the car flipped over and the suspension broke. Quite a few vis on youtube showing you how to upgrade it.
Hope it helps
It's really fast, and because of the short wheelbase, it does flip pretty crazily. My son abused it and the front suspension mount broke. I 3d printed it a couple of times, but it broke, so replaced it with a metal one and has been good so far. It does seem to be a pretty weak spot.
I also added some silicone oil to the suspension, which helped the handling.
It's definitely a fun car, but will break (especially with kids driving it!) and need parts replacing and I seem to remember the battery size was a bit weird.
Of course these days in the £100 range, you could probably stretch all the way into the 10th scale range (especially if going used)
It also sits very low so is totally useless in grass.
I did an all-metal chassis replacement, bigger wheels and tyres, battery upgrades and it's a much better model now - but as it is out of the box it's pretty weak.
Started off with this car a few years back then escalated, other cars are 1:10 and 1:8 respectively for scale.

It helps if you have other rc cars and a proper battery charger which charges these batteries in about 30 minutes.
Look up BigBeard RC if you buy this or any other WL Toys rc cars.
