Jetwood 1:16 Fast RC Car, Brushless 42MPH Remote Control Car for Adults - High Speed 4WD RTR RC Truck with 2 LiPo Batteries & DIY Body, JC16EP Red

If you’re looking for an RC car that can actually keep up with your kids without breaking, the Jetwood RC Car is the one. After going through countless remote control cars that didn’t last, this one has been a game-changer. Even though it’s labeled 14+, my six-year-old handles it better than I do, and it’s the first thing he grabs to play with in the backyard after school. It’s incredibly rugged—he’s crashed it, flipped it, tumbled it, and it just keeps going. The only part that broke was the rear spoiler, but I saw that coming, and honestly, you don’t even need it. One thing to note: the body shell has a protective plastic film on it—if you’re new to RC cars, that’s normal, and you can peel it off. This car is also fully waterproof. We’ve driven it through snow, water, and dirt, and it handles everything like a champ. It’s fast—even though we haven’t maxed out the speed settings yet. It comes with two batteries, and usually, just one lasts long enough for a full play session. I might consider upgrading to a 3C battery, but the stock ones are already more than enough. Compared to other RC cars on Amazon, this one is worth the higher price because it’s built to last. If your kids love cars or RC racing, this is the one to get!

The seller that sent me the box did not bother to package the box and put 3 giant shipping sticker directly on the beautiful box. That was savage. But it has nothing to do with the product or Jetwood. (update) I received the second one in a proper box, but it was still covered in shipping and warning stickers. Whoever did this should wrap the box in palette wrap before applying the stickers. If you want to give this as a gift or keep the box, you can spray WD40 on the stickers and wait 1 hour, then it will peal away without damaging the box. Some people have no respect for the product they sell. As a RC veteran (nitro/lipo) of all scale, I can tell you that this product is 1/3 of the price it should be. This is not only well built, but well engineered. The quality of the product is absolutely unbelievable. My only complain is that it uses Phillips or JIS? screws instead of proper HEX. You get a lot in the box, a lot of spare parts, a lot of tools, 2 batteries and a lot of stickers. I spray painted the transparent second shell for the good days (see pictures). It has a very small delay with the throttle, but not the steering wheel. I bashed it fo 40 minutes in -5c at full speed on asphalt an in 1+ inch of snow. I even did a little bit of light rock crawling with it. That thing will climb anything with proper maneuvers. It also almost always flip back upright after jumps, even the bad ones. After trying it, I decided to buy another one immidiately, for my nephew. And I will definitely buy the 1/14 Jetwood soon. This thing is not a toy, this is serious hobby grade RC. It handles jumps really well. I feel that 2S battery is the max for this size. Don't buy the 3S battery, the speed won't make any sense for that size. Already at 2S, it is very much over power. You probably will use 70% power most of the time. I would recommend buying this over an equivalent Traxxas, Hpi, Rlaarlo and Arrma brand. While these old clowns sell RC cars twice the price of this one with old brushed motors without any proper batteries included. This Chinese company is treating the customers with respect with all the latest technology at decent price. No compromized were made here, this is the full package. Look at this thing, it looks amazing. It has even a 3 channel remote with a 3 channel receiver, so you can control something else if you want to. Another plus of Jetwood company is that they sell all their replacements and upgrades parts on Amazon. So you won't be forced to deal with antique hobby shop website and wait 2 weeks for the parts. Take a look at the Jetwood upgraded parts, bodies and tires. They are serious, this car can be upgraded and also maintained for a while. This should be your first RC and if you are a veteran and you are looking for a fun 1/16, get this. I hope the American RC companies catch up to the Chinese, but I suspect that things will get even better for the Chinese RC.

This rc car I on the higher end of amateur or novice hobby toys. It's build quality is surprisingly strong and if you've been in the rc game a while you can see the changes made to adapt to better mechanisms that have maybe failed in the past. The car has alot of torque and is capable of really high speeds. I just don't like how the battery is on the lower end capacity wise but I guess it's promotional to its size. I recommend it to anyone. You won't be disappointed

After searching and reading reviews for hours on many different RC cars offered on Amazon. I made the decision to purchase this one and I have zero regrets. It is extremely fast, very easy for my eight year old son to drive and control, very durable thus far and with all of the jumps and loops we’ve driven it through. It still works perfectly. Here it is my list of pros and cons. Pros: Very fast (but not uncontrollable) Battery life is decent (about 15 minutes on 70% power) but it came with two batteries and that’s a huge plus! It came with spare parts, such as extra shocks and front axle. You can control the front trim a.k.a. alignment with the remote, as well as varying the intensity of the throttle. There are many more pros, but those are the main ones. Cons: The wheelie bar that came with it as an additional accessory really helps control the car when taking off very fast, but it is also the least resilient part of the car, and has already broken at the bottom screw, but was also able to be repaired with some super glue. That’s not exactly ideal, and is why it made my cons list. That is honestly the end of my cons list. Whether you are buying it for a younger kid or yourself (if you’re an adult like I am) I highly recommend it.

Very fast and well built very good for someone who wants a little basher or a young child getting in to the hobbie it comes with 2s but it will run and accept 3s and its really tuff I beat the poop out of mine
