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.
