Later in the results you see an almost identical one but it's about £200+, it has a different model number that when you Google it goes on about waterproofing and slip diffs etc. Also the ESC? or Radio cover looks different (no wire coming out of the top)
It's very quick and hard for the kids to control. They are getting better at it and love every moment.
You will need a few more batteries to make it worth while taking out.
Like I did say, I don't know much about these so this is more of a comment from a noob
Nitro just sounds good, brushless electric can't be matched for speed and torque. Same with the Tesla situation, a tesla p100d can outperform supercars

For £69 all in? Do Tell. (_;)
if it has 2 batteries, one will be for transmitter, one for car
I bought my current phone from them and more than happy with the service. Even when I had an issue the support was great albeit a message a day so not particularly quick.

wacked in a more powerful s2 battery and it really does fly.
plastics really good so durable.

takes a beating, its 1/12 but imo well worth it, it cocks a front wheel up on acceleration also, and power difts, check the vids. a more powerful battery for £8 just makes this serious fun.
even has a 540 motor same as he hornet mentioned below.

I had a Tamiya Hornet, was surprised they've now started making them again!

They spend ages processing orders and then when they do send them out you're even lucky if you receive it.
My first order never turned up and I mistakenly decided to try them again, wish I hadn't, because a week after placing the order its still processing.

Bullocks. I've ordered plenty of stuff from them and never had a problem, everything is tracked. Pay with PayPal if you're worried about stuff not turning up.
Granted you don't get a realistic guarantee but I'm happy for that given the brilliant prices, and not had a 'quality' issue with anything I've bought. (Phones, torches, RC models).
Oh that is amazing. Just tried to find a Terra Scorcher but no joy!
I ordered twice from them without a problem, but then on the third time they sent me a DOA item. When raising this with them they offered me just 10% of the value of the item to just go away. After raising a case with Paypal, I finally go the original cost refunded (5 months later!) and this was minus the cost of sending it back to China recorded delivery. Everything that people say about Gearbest is true. Do yourself a favour and avoid them.

Got mine too, though possibly the charger is duff too because the car struggles to move or steer despite being on charge for a day.
Great car though so am gonna persevere.
I didn't realise you could put a lipo battery in, can you show what you bought?
and to charge it I bought an IMAX b6. I'm just waiting for some deans connectors to come tomorrow so I can try my lipo battery. on the ESC there's a jumper to set it up for a lipo battery so just be sure to change that and should run great.

For now until I get some proper dual channel charger/discharger with display I've just bought a SkyRC eN3 one.
Overall I'm, err I mean the Son, is very happy indeed with it.

Will do tomorrow, look on YouTube (something like Aussie RC) there's some dude who's put a 4s Lipo setup in, looks a bit too wild for me (flips over with the power) but another video shows 3d and looks great.
Ah I never thought of the 120v bit, but even so mine was on over night and nothing in the battery at all
the other one is for charging. it lets the charger check voltages of individual cells and keep them all balanced.
Any idea on what mAh rating I should be getting?

Think my next purchase is this brushless motor and 60A ESC combo for it:
