1/10 Off Road RC Cars Fast 68KM/H, Electric RTR Brushless RC Car for Adults, High Speed Monster Truck Hobby Remote Control Car, Waterproof RC Truck 4x4 All Terrain Buggy Toy Gift for Age 8+

This Hosim X07 has to be the best value RC you can buy, absolutely amazing price/quality/feature balance, you won't have to buy anything else if you just want a decent quality fun RC to goof around with occasionally without going too deep into the hobby. But truly hobby class (vs. "toy") for those more advanced. Hosim even provides full one year warranty and local support in each major continent/US contact phone support, which is really nice in this price range. (I specifically mention X07 as the actual model number since it is not mentioned in the listing and you will need to know this to order parts) It's important to note that this is a case where the seller should have done whole new listings each time they upgraded it over the years instead of just using the same listing. It has been upgraded 3-4x times, I believe, in the last 4 years the original model came out, so reviews older than mid '23 have many cons that no longer apply. This thing has changed far too much for older reviews to be accurate any more. So many parts have been upgraded over the years, these now have better shocks, steering servo, and many plastic steering parts were upgraded to metal, etc, this is a company that listens to feedback/reviews and addresses issues with upgrades. For the price point (~150-160 with constant "coupons" offered) this is an amazing value! It is assembled extremely well with thread locker on almost every screw and has wheel nuts that don't come loose on their own over time like most in this price range and lower. Sure, you absolutely can spend 2-3x as much for really awesome stuff, but this thing is straight up the most well-built, fast and capable RC you can get in the price range. You can turn the throttle way down for kids or rock crawling too, it's an awesome buy! (End basic review) Advanced issues/addressing prior review cons: I find the throttle control, at least in the current version, to be excellent! You can turn it way down and you can rock crawl or let younger children use it and it's not just On/Off as someone mentioned, there is full range of speed variety within the throttle trigger travel too. When the throttle trim is cranked, you need to take off gradually or it will flip itself on its back even with the wheelie bar. There is no automatic and non-adjustable drag brake (where braking kicks in just releasing the throttle) on this (X07) unlike its truck shell brother model, the X08. Instead, it free wheels releasing the trigger and instead I LOVE how this has a fully adjustable manual braking level (You brake with this by quickly reversing the throttle trigger) with the middle trim knob. All the way left is full braking and twisting to the right uses progressively less braking force. On a very long flat carpeted hallway at work with perfect traction, if I go full speed then reverse the trigger quickly, it brakes so hard it does a front flip! So, if mostly going really fast on dry surfaces you might want to add less braking, and use more for courses with lots of turns, etc. Even the provided batteries are quite good for "stock" and while it is 3S/11.1v battery capable, those will wear out the gear boxes and a number of other parts FAR more quickly, when 2S/7.4v batteries provide plenty of power. As a "compromise", I got a 7.6v (slightly higher voltage), 100c (higher discharge) battery and since the controller can even handle 11.1v, it handles this one easily, somewhat surprisingly it clearly has about 10-15% more torque and top speed, which seems to be the perfect balance of power for this size/level of vehicle instead of jumping all the way up to a parts shredding 3S battery. They can be found here by searching "2S 7.6V 100c 6000mAh Shorty 4mm Deans RC battery" and going with the Hoovo or Zeee brand, whichever is on coupon cheapest, they are both good for the money. Could be considered a minor con, there are NO aftermarket batteries that are the same dimensions as or fit as stock, but at least all "shorty" batteries do match the proper length, are similar to or better in capacity than stock, and are simply mounted on their side in the battery tray with zero issue using the extra velcro straps provided. As I mentions in the title, this is basically 1:12 scale in overall dimensions, and from what I understand uses mostly but not all 1:10 parts. So to guarantee they will fit, you pretty much have use the specific replacement parts for this model or it's brother models: the X08 and in another brand, XLF X03A Max to be 100% certain they will fit. The parts offered on the Hosim web site are fairly overpriced but do offer free and fast shipping at least. Just remember if you have time you can web search around by "Hosim X07 parts" or XLF X03A Max", etc and find the balance of price, shipping cost/speed etc that works for you. Hope this has helped the beginners and more knowledgeable alike! Like you reading this, I bought this right here for myself and wasn't given reimbursement or anything for this review. This is all me genuinely impressed with this for the money and bored at work to have the time to write this up! :)

This is my first hobby grade RC car, and also my first 1:10 scale and so far I gotta say I love it! I had bought a 1:18 scale, and it kept flipping over on it's top which was super annoying for someone who is disabled and has a sizeable surgical hernia. On top of that, one of the wheels quit engaging so it became a three wheel drive. I returned that one and after doing some research, I decided to give this X07W a shot and I'm so glad I did! This thing is super quick! I have to turn the throttle trim down a bit to control it better! LOL! Speaking of control, the oil filled shocks make a night and day difference from what I'm use to! The body retaining clips even come with a rubber clip holder that is attached to the body which is really nice! The instructions manual failed to explain some of the transmitter controls, but a quick call to HOSIM customer service resolved that! Friendly service rep as well! And the first company I have came across with a textable customer service! I have so much fun with this rig that I wish it came with two battery chargers... But for less than ten bucks, I just ordered my second! I have a rough front yard that is mostly moss and dirt, and a large gravel driveway that I run this rig in and it isn't bothered by the rough terrain in the least! I've not timed it so I could be wrong, but it feels like each battery lasts longer than the expected twenty minutes of run time. If you are an amateur like me looking for a great, fun place to start in the on land RC world, I highly recommend you start here! I have flipped this rig a few times over on it's top and it isn't phased in the least! It's built tough! The front of the shell (body) did crack, but not real bad. A little contact cement on the inside of the shell over the crack fixed it nicely. At first it seemed a bit pricey, but after extensive research I really couldn't beat the value. The fan on the ECM, oil filled shocks, rubber tires, light weight and tough body, brushless motor, metal gears and parts and all wheel drive all make the money spent totally worth it! I love how the light bar on the front blinks when the battery is getting ready to die! It gives you roughly a minute of time before the car stops allowing you to prepare for it where as a lot of RC toys just die with no warning. I do wish the foam surrounding the tire on the transmitter was a little more secure. It tends to pull halfway off sometimes during driving the car. A minor annoyance. Only other downside I can state is that I wish the drag links for the front wheels were adjustable. Looking straight down at the car from the top, the front wheels seem toed out a bit. My O.C.D. wants them completely straight. LOL! Overall, super happy with this rig!

4 stars only because these say right on the box 2 Body shells. Ordered 2 and both cars came with only 1 body shell each the Blue one. Kids crash alot because the cars look the same. Very fast and durable cars. Both come with 2 batteries 2600mah. I got them 4 upgraded larger 5200mah batteries. So plenty of run time. Cars are awesome wish they had the extra body to be different colors when run together.

This rc is super fast and has tons of power. Does about 40 with a warm full battery. Good shocks to. Good stiff tires. I jump mine alot and it takes an 8 drop without bouncing. Decent headlights. Good batery life. I bough a 5200mah and it lasts about 45 minutes. Not for kids. To fast. Mine came with a faulty controller but Hosim replaced it for free with 3 day shipping. Will 100% buy another Hosim.

I received a DOA device. I did my own investigation and bought replacement parts to get it up and running since I emailed Hosim and had no response from them. After I got it up and running, I realized that one of the front arms was broken and had a bent axel. I don't believe it was broken when I received it so it must have broke when I had it... I wasn't bashing it or anything. I was just driving it on grass and asphalt the entire time. The spoiler broke off after one roll. For the arm to break like that it tells me CHEAP PARTS. Like what others said, the motor is way undersized for this 1/10 size RC car. The motor gets very hot and will turn off. The RC car is also very tippy. It tips over at every turn. You have to be going slow (15-25% Throttle) to turn without flipping over. Pros: If you install aftermarket quality parts, the car will be great. Parts such as bigger motor, motor fan, quality front arms, quality rear arms, thicker metal axels, and longer arms to prevent it from tipping so easily. I think with these addition the car will be fun but you'll be near the $300 range so you can get a better car for that $300 price point, so overall it's not worth it. But moving on with the Pros: Fast for a 2S Easy Wheelies RTR out of the box (Will need upgrades quickly) Can run on 3S but the motor will get hot quick Lots of controls and options on the receiver Cons: Very Tippy Hosim not responding to your emails/not answering calls Brushless motor is under sized for the 1/10 RC Car Go down on the oil weight on the shocks. The body will flex before the shocks compress. Deans adapter to allow 2x2S battery @2600mAH to run in parallel (Should have just supplied one 2S 5000mAH battery in my opinion since the car only comes with one charger) Cheap parts: Arms break easily Axels bend easily Spoiler breaks off easily

Definitely enjoying my HOSIM 1:10 scale truck. Just bought my son the 1:16th HOSIM truck as well. This truck is definitely a blast. If you plan to get one… know it is NOT for newbies. Go easy on the throttle and learn the turning before going all out. (You can make all these adjustments on the remote) The remote allows you to adjust turning radius, alignment/turning, as well as throttle speed, which is super useful depending where you are driving it and what you plan to do with it. This thing is pretty FAST and super fun. DO NOT run 3S batteries unless you feel like replacing your gears often. I KNOW, we all want MORE…. But it WILL grind and chip the factory gears, front end, rear end and probably even the main drive gear. It is also SOO FAST it is uncontrollable on 3S without throttle mitigation. I am on my second truck now under warranty and only run 2S batteries that came with it now. Luckily, you can buy all of the SPARE PARTS online at HOSIM.com. This R/C truck runs FAST enough and is super fun. It wheelies, does pretty great donuts, and FLYYS around as is. The battery life does go by quick so you will probably want a speed charger or a 2nd set of batteries. The R/C truck also only comes with a single charger, I only run two batteries at a time so this is a pain but manageable with a cheap dual charger off Amazon. Things I would do immediately before running it: Make sure you use two battery straps across the batteries. If using the dual battery adapter. Put electrical tape or duct tape on it after its connected to the truck plug in. This has come out on me before while jumping the truck. The good news is, the actual connections to the battery are strong and don’t need tape. (I always leave my dual battery connector in and always run dual batteries) CONS: the ECU on both my trucks so far has randomly reset the throttle and steering to reverse the controls. (FIX: turn off the remote and the truck and just flip both switches to “reverse throttle” / reverse steering” and flip the truck and remote back on and it should go back to where you had it set to/ how it comes. If not, repeat the steps. This has worked for me.) Put BIGGER SCREWS in the top of the spoiler immediately (unless you don’t care about having a wing) PRO: This truck gives you a LOT of BANG for the BUCK and nothing in this price range will touch this truck. (Yes it is Made in China) Let me know if you have any questions. If you are on the fence. I say BUY IT!!! Can’t go wrong at this price point for the speed and joy this truck brings. Plus it jumps and goes up curbs like a boss regardless of the lower stance. This truck is SUPER DURABLE as well!!! I run her pretty HARD! Enjoy! - Vinny

The car was well built and quite fast. But I have to say it's more of a warm weather car. The cold weather of PA seems to leave it extremely vulnerable to breaking. I've had one rear lower control arm break, it was a really bad hit so I don't blame hosim for that one. After getting that fixed I was out on a rather cold day, probably 10° and unbeknownst to me I took a hard enough hit to break the metal support in the front which also took the shock tower and the front diff cover with it. So the majority of the time I've owned this I've been waiting on parts and patching it together. Having said that once again cold weather like that I probably shouldn't even be running them in it. I believe it wasn't so damn cold out that the car would do much better. I ordered a rear differential just being precautious and after about three batteries I took it apart and it showed almost no wear. And chewing up differentials is always a problem so that helical gears are awesome.

So first I would like to mention I got the car overnight, although it did not travel far. Ordered right at midnight, late Wednesday/early Thursday. Received the car on FRIDAY!!! Super fast shipping! Way to go HosimKey and shippers! Also wanted to mention that for an extra $19 the blue car comes with the paddle tires, upgraded oil-filled shocks, and an extra clear body. Well worth the additional cash for me. I read pretty much every review and did not see anyone else mention this, although lots of people mention that the car needs better shocks. With the upgrades, the blue one is a no brainer unless you are stuck on a color. You can always buy any of the other bodies later if you don't like the color, or paint the clear body any way you like. Had trouble with the remote binding to the receiver at first. Sounds like it does what it should and then the car goes berzerk! Turns out it was probably radio interference. Tried it at another spot more open, away from my neighborhood and viola! No problem once I got in the open. Good to go! This little car rips! Tried it on low first and it is fun like that. Switched it to high and wow! Wheelies like crazy while rolling and a from a dead stop. Not sure it really needs 3s like a lot of people are talking about. Probably won't hit 30 MPH without it but it's pretty darn fun on 2s, especially for a beginner to RC cars! Really happy with my purchase so far!!! UPDATE - Ran the car a few times in some dirt and grass near the parks around town. So much fun and so far so good. Put the paddles on and went to the sand dunes. Not sure if you have seen the movies Star Wars Return of the Jedi, Spaceballs, Dune, or Stargate but that's where I was, Imperial Sand Dunes, CA. OMG!!! This car SHREDS in the sand! I put the two charged batteries together on the plug and ran the car for at least a solid 30 minutes, probably more, on high the whole time. It is absolutely a little monster in the sand. Shoots rooster tails 5-6 feet behind it like crazy. Climbs any hill, no problem. Wheelie almost anytime you want, just hit the throttle. Handles the dunes like a champ! Wish I had video, this is so much fun! I have had no more issues with my remote binding to the receiver as long as I'm not at my house. I don't recommend running it around asphalt or concrete (except maybe a few short speed runs) or the skate parks and stuff like that but in the open on the dirt or short grass, this thing is awesome! I'm sure something will break eventually but I'm not that worried about it. I see that all the parts are available online, a lot of them from domestic shippers. I think a lot of these bad reviews are from people that hand it to their little kid and expect it not to break when they run the thing full speed into a curb or don't take the time to do a little research on the basics of RC cars and associated troubleshooting. Now I see the price is a couple bucks less than what I paid. Just go for it! Update #2 - Put some acrylic paint under the body to fill in the clear spots with white. I think it looks a lot better now!
