Review on ๐ŸŽ๏ธ Remote Control Speed Racing by PHYWESS by Chris Doe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast, good workmanship, two sets of 1000 mAh batteries

Summary: Small RC track, well made, accelerates quickly and has a very good top speed. I ordered a similar product from the same brand (https://amzn.to/3iMyqne) for my 13 year old almost a year ago and he was very happy with it and surprisingly still works, although I stepped on it once unintentionally what hurt the beats a little. For days I can say it looks like an upgrade from the other as it feels more responsive and reliable (slightly heavier), has LED headlights and larger capacity batteries. Here is my review: 1) Unpacking: I always unpacked carefully in case I need to return an item and I have to say it was packed very well and it took me a few minutes to figure out how to unpack it, without tearing the box apart (my son's favorite method). See photos of unpacking and contents. 2) Installation: only takes a few minutes as the 1000mah batteries are pre-charged. You just need to install one of them and secure it with velcro. The controller uses 2 AA batteries (I used 2 rechargeable batteries instead of the ones that came with the controller just to see if it would work at a lower voltage). Then press the little red button for about a second until the light comes on, turn on the controller and you're good to go. 3) Usage: This RC car has a lot of power and responds very quickly. It accelerates very quickly and revs a lot when you spin the wheels and step on the gas (my son loves it when the truck keeps spinning). The underside feels very solid compared to other RC cars we have and the tires have good grip and it's a lot of fun to drive on a gravel track. I've attached a short video showing the acceleration, although it was quite difficult to control. only with one hand while holding the phone with the other hand (usually I hold the controller with my left hand and the steering wheel with my right hand). Although I've had good experiences with this RC truck, I may update this review in the future if anyone else is on the road.
