WLtoys 144001 Racing RC Car, 1/14 4x4 Fast Remote Control Car With Aluminum Chassis for Adults Kids, 2.4G Buggy With 2 Batteries (Red)

This thing is awesome. Very fast. Pretty darn durable. We’ve managed to break it a couple times but parts are easy to find and fixing/upgrading it has been a lot of fun and great learning experience for my son. It borders on hobby grade for me. Certainly not toy grade. Would highly recommend this car.

H bought this car for my 8 year old. He loved it. Ran it religiously. Had a part break, left rear tire tipped out. Messaged through here to try and track down a replacement part, was a bit of maze, but then Bailey emailed me. Asked what part I needed, even asked for pictures to verify actual part numbers as the manual could be tricky to determine. Then without any hesitation, sent the parts from the factory. Emailed me a few times to reassure me the parts were on the way. Only hang up was someone decided to toss some hurricanes at the ship bring the parts from china and made us wait almost a month to get the parts, weird prank, but okay. That delay was no fault of the company. Got the parts, got the car running again, couldn’t ask for more! Very satisfied and surprised by the effort they applied to ensure happy customers. I would completely recommend and buy again from them.

This car is very cool and appears to be well made but the plastic parts on the wheel assembly breaks at nothin… under its own speed it flipped while turning and the wheel fell off completely due to broken mounts. Luckily the replacement parts are available but I shouldn’t have to do this after 5 minutes of driving.

Build quality at the price????? Unbelievable!!!! Upgrades are available at your local hobby shops.

This thing is pretty good out of the box but I did upgrade the wheels and tires right away to a slightly larger diameter. It's not the fastest but it is fast enough to have fun and wreck stuff. I 3D printed a front bumper for some added protection. I have crashed it hard enough to bend the center driveshaft but that was the only thing that got damaged in the crash. Replaced the driveshaft and upgraded the chassis brace to aluminum with parts from Amazon. Would recommend and buy again.

the tires it comes with dont last to long on concrete it can take a solid beating for what it is, check the rear wheel alignment mine was off but out of the box its ready to run, the wing is weak but its not designed to be strong anyways for what it costs its a great deal i had hours of fun with it before i broke anything then fixed it and wore the tires out waiting for the new ones to show up then back to the road.

Do not waste your money!!! This car broke within 24 hours. This was very upsetting after spending $100+. The car is fast but the quality and durability is very poor. We will be returning this car.

I bought 2 of these cars for my son's, 1 red and 1 green. Initially very impressed with the quality, felt very heavy and the parts looked legit. They drove amazing, very fast and handled great. 5 minutes into the first use, my son accidentally ran it into my parked cars tire and snapped a part in the front suspension. Would have hoped for some more durability but not upset, can't expect it to move that fast and not sustain damage. But the second one also broke 1st day but just from normal driving through the yard, no jumps or crashes. I also have looked for replacement parts and have yet to find anything except entire rebuild kits that cost as much as a new car almost. The repairs look easy abd are just 1 or 2 broken parts that look inexpensive, so if there was an easy and cheap way to get the replacement parts I would still consider these cool, but not a great toy for anything outside of driving on asphalt with no heavy obstacles.UPDATE - the seller of these cars, WLtoys, reached out to me just for a basic follow up satisfaction email before I had posted this review. I responded and said pretty much the same thing to them as I did here, and they immediately responded and asked for pictures or videos of the broken parts to get replacements for me. Don't know yet if they will charge me or even produce the parts but very impressed with the very attentive customer service. I didn't respond for a couple days and they even sent a second message telling me.they wanted to help me get the parts. If they end up coming through with parts, whether they are free or just cheap at least I will be extremely impressed. Will definitely update this again after all is said and done but great sign so far!UPDATE 2 - The seller of these cars, WLtoys, has sent me all of the broken parts and backups for free. I am blown away by the customer service I have received from them. I must have received 6 or 7 emails from the same customer service rep Bailey, asking how they could help me, figure out which parts were broken and then sending them to me for no charge. I asked Bailey how to order parts that break in the future, and the response was, 'just contact us in the future anytime and don't worry!' I have never had such an amazingly positive customer service experience for any product or service, and will gladly give them more business if my boys ever want to pursue RC cars more. As much as I would have hoped for more use before things broke, I am pretty excited to repair these as well with the boys. So not the perfect toy for someone that just wants an indestructible car that never needs work. But for someone interested in a fun.and engaging hobby, after this positive experience, I highly recommend these cars. Still puzzled by the YouTube videos of people driving them off massive ramps and through rough terrain though, not sure how they were able to hold up to that abuse. Just baby them to begin and see what they can handle is my recommendation!
