RIAARIO 1/10 Brushless RC Cars, Monster Truck, 50+ MPH, 4WD, Waterproof, Carbon Fiber, Black, Ages 8+

I've owned alot of RC Cars & Trucks. This one is really nice for the price, I got it as a basher to play with my dogs, the 4WD and brushless motor with the 3S battery is a blast. This truck is fast & fun! It's pretty durable and handles well. It has a good battery run time and comes with the USB charger, tho I use a balanced charger for mine.

I’ve always wanted an RC car, and I finally decided to dive in. As a beginner, I didn’t want to spend more than $400, and this model turned out to be the perfect choice. The build quality is impressive right out of the box, and it truly feels solid and well-engineered. After getting familiar with it, I upgraded the front, center, and rear differentials, along with the hubs and arms. These enhancements took performance to the next level, but even stock, this car is a beast. The name says it all—TERMINATOR. It’s a true basher for the price, and it moves fast! Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a reliable RC car that can handle upgrades, this one delivers. Highly recommend for anyone getting into the RC hobby!

I'll be honest — I wasn’t expecting this much quality from an RTR kit at this price point. But the RIAARIO 1/10 Brushless RC Truck blew me away. The chassis is built like a tank with durable carbon fiber panels and reinforced aluminum parts. I’ve rolled this truck several times during high-speed runs, and aside from a few cosmetic scuffs, there’s been no structural damage. That’s impressive for a basher in this price range! The included 2.4GHz remote feels premium, like something you'd usually have to buy separately. However, the manual offers very little guidance on advanced settings. So here’s a tip for other new users: To unlock the remote settings (like throttle trim, steering dual rates, etc.), hold the arrow button (bottom right) while powering on the remote. This unlocks configuration mode — essential if you're new to this kind of power and want better control. 🔋 Battery Life and Upgrades The included battery is decent, but I strongly recommend upgrading the charger. The USB charger works, but it’s slow and inefficient. I use the Haisito HB6 balance charger, and it makes a world of difference. Battery runtime varies: 🕒 Around 30 minutes at 50% throttle ⏱️ Under 10 minutes if you’re going full-throttle the entire time For extended fun, I recommend upgrading to larger 3S packs. I was able to fit a Zee 3S 3300mAh soft pack into the existing tray. It’s snug but workable. Rlaario suggests relocating the ESC to the center using included zip ties, but I managed to keep the layout as-is with a tight fit. ✅ Final Thoughts This truck is a total sleeper hit — high performance, solid construction, and a surprising level of customization. One thing I really appreciated was the two full sheets of decals included in the box. It might seem like a small touch, but for hobbyists like me, it’s important to give your RC truck some personality. Driving around with a blank shell just isn’t the same — make it your own and it feels like an extension of you. 🎨🔥 You can tell this thing was designed with enthusiasts in mind, but the manual leaves a lot to be desired. That’s why I also uploaded a video showing how to: Set up telemetry so you can view real-time voltage on the remote 📟 Remove the receiver box top and plug in the mystery R&B cable that comes in the kit (not explained anywhere in the instructions!) 🔌 👉 Check out my video for setup tips not covered in the manual — including unlocking the remote and using the telemetry cable.

This truck is incredible. Built extremely well but with that said things are still going to break down the line. It loves to go fast and hard and is a pleasure to drive. If you're inexperienced start slow and build up. If you start at 100% power you're probably going to break it cause it is hard to control if you don't know what you're doing. I know it's hard not to go all out but it will be worth it. If you're smart and take care of it, it will last a long time. Couple things more. Do the modification so you can fit the bigger battery. Lasts a lot longer and more power. I run a 3S 5200mah 120C and I can go a good half hour. Other is you don't have to replace the pinion. Yes it does make it faster, but that's something you can do down the road a bit.

Hands down has to be one of the best rc cars I have bought that wasn't a top name brand. Besides a few issues I have put one heak of a bashing on this Lil beast. I have accidentally slammed it into a few things and broken nothing. And I have bashed on this beast like alot 1-2hrs a day for over a month n half straight. Now the issues I did have with it was down to faulty assembly. The motor mount was wedged in and wouldn't slide out without a little persuasive handling. Then there was also an over tightened screw holding the engine mount /bulkhead that I had to drill out and the screws holding motor in stripped out. I got ahold of them and mostly fixed issues. Or atleast in good faith tried fixing the issue. Unfortunately I don't know the exact part number for the correct engine mount/bulkhead and Unfortunately still haven't received the right part. I did get 2 others that potentially could work but I'm good at figuring out fixes to issues and got it ripping almost perfectly. They customer service is second to none with one minor issue. They need to know what parts can and can not go on the ordered car. I have a few parts that was sent that could be pressed into service if needed but were received at no cost to myself. I do not recommend getting the center differential switched with the straight shaft, it will burn threw tires fairly quick. Getting the upgraded metal differential is sublime a must have, it holds up to abuse a bit better than stock. Switching out to the biggest gear is in my opinion a must do as it gives great speed and performance off roading. I do not recommend changing them out more than once. One great feature this machine has is truly awesome is the ride hight adjustments are the little hex screws on the bottom control arms on each wheel. Tighten them up n it will drop to the ground loosen them and you'll get a tall crawler. Easiest set up I have ever seen. This is robust enough for a beginner yet fun for the building hobbiest. This is great outta the box but some knowledge is recommend.

Excellent truck!! It's fast, durable, stable at high speeds and jumps really well!! I'm seriously considering buying a second one already.

I'm am definitely not a pro RC guy so take this for what every you think it's worth, but this RIAARIO is crazy fun. This thing is FAST and has been taking a pretty good beating without skipping a beat. This would be my first RC that didn't come from somewhere like Wallyworld. So, for me, this has been a little bit of a learning experience. It was very difficult for me to keep it right side up at first. It has so much get up and go that it just wants to flip over itself. Going full speed to braking and it will happily front flip several times. I am not saying this as a negative, just to point out to anyone that is newly stepping up into this 'class' of RC that it really is a night and day difference from what you are probably use to. I'm sure someone would call this an 'intro' RC but if you just want one that is super fun out of the box, this fits the bill. I mostly purchased this because my son joined a RC club and I wanted him to have something that could keep up. He is thrilled with it and I am definitely NOT disappointed. I would suggest the bigger battery. The one that comes with this is good for about 40(ish) minutes but it takes a good while to charge. The charge time might be on me, but I am using what I believe the manufacturer says I am supposed to be using (USB brick power rating). I read somewhere that the charger is not included, but mine came with the charger but no brick.

I am 53 years old and have had RC cars my whole life. I was always into the nitro cars and thought this time I would try a brushless electric. After watching videos and reading reviews I decided to get a cheaper car that came with everything vs spending 500-700 bucks on a car and still need batteries, chargers and a controller etc. The reviews were great, the videos I watched were all good, so I thought I'll buy one and check it out. The instructions are a joke, you'll need to watch some videos on how to set everything before you drive it. I literally drove it for less than 10 minutes in my backyard and on my driveway before the plastic control arm snapped in half. I didn't hit anything, I didn't run over anything. I was doing donuts and that was that. I noticed right out of the box it was pulling to the right pretty hard and the right side wheel kind of wobbled. I used a lot of trim to get it to go straight. I think it was about 18 clicks from center. I also dialed back the throttle to 50 so it wasn't so wild, set the gyro etc so I would drive good. I watched all these video of how tough this thing is. Everyone flying off of ramps bashing curbs and hitting everything, turning flips and it kept right on rolling. Seems odd that the suspension would snap on the first use, less than 10 minutes into it, driving on flat grass. No bumps, no jumps, no holes, no crashes, no flips. Just some donuts in the sand on my driveway and in the grass. I sent it back and I'm hoping for a refund or for them to send me a replacement. I feel like I got a bad product that wasn't made/assembled correctly from the factory. I was very happy with the performance at first other than the pulling and wheel shake. After all the great reviews and videos, I can't help but think I got a lemon. The side that snapped is the side that was having issues right out of the box too. I would have given it a much higher rating had it lasted longer than half a battery before breaking. It was fun while it was driving still
