Hosim Monster Terrain Control Scale Review

Unreliable design. Fun truck when you're his baby. If you inevitably tumble it, it won't steer properly and will only move forward and backward. It appears to be a connection issue with the remote as it sometimes stutters when trying to move forward and backward. This happened to the first one I bought, they replaced it with another one and the same thing happened. Nothing crazy, just light bumps and falls. The chassis is pretty strong. There are no shocks. They break quickly. You need upgraded

Be careful! I bought two of these and the plastic gears in the steering servo wore out pretty quickly. Hosim was happy to send replacement servos for both and I am very happy with the support. Otherwise, the truck is incredibly durable. Very fast and fun! Operating time 15-20 minutes with a 1.6 mAh battery. The body clips that come with the truck are a bit small and may come loose during operation. Hosim's larger 1.22mm clamps work great and don't come loose. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075CJ891S…

I find it hard to give more than 4 stars because nothing is perfect. What, as they say. I would buy this item again without hesitation. It works well and manages well. Tires are made of soft rubber. The frame and chassis are very well made. The case is plastic and thin (light) but easy to replace if needed. Not sure about speed but runs pretty fast on grass (clipped) and uphill and downhill. Folds back slightly when going uphill due to the torque the motor puts out (not bad). There will be pop…

I tested this monster truck before letting my daughter loose on it. It is well designed, for example the switch under the case is accessible without dismantling the case. The body is made of durable Lexan and withstands the stress of somersaults and wall impacts. However, it hardly rolls over because the truck is very stable. The steering is dual-speed, allowing you to adjust the height of the turn. It also has a high or low speed setting, the speed is fully proportional, but the low speed…

This truck has one disadvantage, which is the rapid wear of the main and drive gears. As you can see in the attached photo, the spur gear is nylon and the teeth are completely worn out. Not only that, but the gears of the motors wore out. When I replaced the motors I also found that one of them was not spinning well. This is after using it maybe a dozen times. With further research I think I found the cause of the problem. As can be seen in the attached photo, the real problem is that the gears

First off, this truck is fast and fun. I just drove (for the first time) to a dirt desert road that runs right next to our house. I had a blast using it - within the first 15-20 minutes. However, I've noticed that the reverse doesn't work. After several reverse attempts, he sometimes backed up, sometimes not. While it's annoying, the real danger was when I started pushing the gas (forward) and it got disabled in the reverse direction (like 30mph - fast). When I released the gas pedal it didn't…

[Edited] Hosim RC Trucks just don't have this quality. I bought two Hosim trucks (9125 and 2847). Both will bottom after normal use. This one blew up the differences (if you read the comments on Revain and other sites you can see this happens to almost everyone) and the 9125 has electronic issues. The battery died, the axles cracked, the differential broke and now the car won't start even after replacing the main ECU. Hosim doesn't reply to emails anymore so I'm assuming they don't support…
