Review on SUV Remo Hobby Smax RM1631, 1:16, 28.5 cm, blue/black by Stanislaw Gluszek ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Like any initial model is a money cleaner. Parts are comparable to the price of a new car. An extremely expensive upgrade - servos for a piece, shock absorbers for a piece (I dug out relatives with oil for 680 with delivery on the second most famous Chinese site), aluminum wheels for a piece, light 150 . More powerful engine from Wltoys is another 600. . you can add a 17 pinen for another 200. Well, if you don’t run after the car like on a wire, the equipment with the receiver and the regulator is still 4-5 pieces . I’m not talking about transferring to the BC system . And I don’t take into account the cost consumables - spur, piñon, levers and so on . I regret that I did not immediately buy 2 - the second one for spare parts for the first one. It would be cheaper :). Spare parts strictly on the people's site. Local hucksters raise the price tag for many parts 2 or even 3 times . But you can find spare parts at a divine price, if you only look NOT at the TOP 3 sites selling RC toys. The battery should also be changed - the native one is enough for 10 minutes of driving for pleasure. A couple of cans of 18650 at 3K max 30C will allow you to extend the pleasure without much cost, given the expectation of a month and hands of average directness. Just take it with good current output, do not be fooled by 3,500 mah, which are only suitable for power banks. Most importantly, you are guaranteed to enjoy right out of the box. Perhaps it is worth recommending NOT to upgrade at all, but to buy a more expensive model if you like this one . Spend money like 2-3 Smax., but there will not be much benefit .

Pros
  • Great starter car for beginners in the RC hobby. For little money, you get NOT a toy with which you can try - whether it will tighten it or not.
Cons
  • The ridiculous range of the remote control is less than 40 meters, the fragile plastic of the frame, suspension and especially the wheels - with a slight impact on the wall, the wheel shattered into smithereens.
