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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I drive at 60% power. At full power, the car is uncontrollable. It seems like it becomes manageable if you put oil-filled shock absorbers - the car becomes stable at speeds. In the bottom line, I will say this, I have nothing to compare with, but I am satisfied. Judging by the reviews, this machine is a bargain.

Pros
  • I chose a model with metal parts for reliability. However, on the very first evening, the car broke down in three places - the lower deck broke in half, the upper deck broke in half, the rear wheel was torn off (the rear hub was broken). Ordered from basic: - new bottom deck (P2501) - new top deck (P2502) Ordered from tuning: - nylon rear hub (RP2513) - dural reinforcement plate on the bottom (DB-A2501) - duralumin stiffening frame on the top deck (DB-A2502) - aluminum rods adjustable in length (A2510) - front and rear lights It took about 3,000 for everything, while the cost of the machine itself was 3,900. When I was dismantling the car, but I had to completely disassemble it in order to replace the lower deck, I paid attention to the symbolic amount of grease between the gears, differential, etc. In general, I bought Litol lubricant for 80 and lubricated everything additionally. But now I'm happy as an elephant. Also, the headlights are turned on from the remote control (there is a button on the remote control). By the way, I ordered adjustable aluminum rods due to the fact that initially the front wheels were not parallel, but slightly at a degree to each other, and this cannot be fixed in any way, since the plastic rods are unregulated. Actually, just to align the wheels, I bought new traction, but this is not at all a mandatory purchase, you can live without it, just like without headlights.
Cons
  • Very soft bottom (bottom deck) and top deck. I highly recommend immediately buying additional reinforcement from duralumin - there are plates 2-3 mm thick. Together they cost about 120220 if you take it in 2022 stores, but this will help you avoid additional expenses for replacing base decks (+700), which break very often, judging by the videos and reviews.
