Monster Smash Ups TY6082A Carnage – Cyborg, Small RC Monster Truck Toy for Kids, Green

Product Information

Another beloved FTX model, the Outlaw is a 4WD off road buggy with a trailing rear arm and plenty of suspension travel. Its dampers and ride height make it ideal for anyone who is looking to tear around a root-filled forest floor or a pebble-covered beach. Finally, here at RC Geeks, we’re often asked how fast a specific car will go. We’ve written this short article to help you understand the variables which will contribute to an RC cars top speed, and hopefully give you some idea how fast your RC car can go. Spares and hop-ups If this is your first kit, then the Stampede is the place to start. The model was designed around the included electronics so there are no fitment issues or incompatibilities, you are free to follow the instructions and enjoy a trouble free build. Building it yourself provides intimate knowledge of the model, essential for keeping on top of maintenance and repairing any future crash damage. The value for money is hard to argue with. The model features radio gear, wall charger, a 10.5kg waterproof servo, front, metal output, crown and differential gears, oil-filled adjustable coil-over suspension plus a detailed body with working LED lights! With good ground clearance, it can cut across a mown lawn or gravel carpark with ease. We love the stamina of this little buggy, thanks to the lightweight chassis and body it just keeps on going! Then thanks to the USB charger you can top the battery up from a powerbank or any USB port even when you are out and about.

If you are unfamiliar with RC toys it can be difficult to visualise how large they are. For guidance most of our models are ‘ scale‘ models, labelled with a fraction such as 1/8, 1/10, 1/18, 1/32, but what does this mean? In simple terms it is the size ratio compared to the ‘real-life’ full size vehicle. Looking to buy a remote control car as a present ? Then look no further than our buyers guide showcasing a range of RC cars suitable for all ages and budgets. This guide covers models suitable for driving indoors or out, along with some advice on scale and batteries for first-time buyers. A quality, compact (just 27cm long) car, it is fully featured with a 2.4Ghz radio system, proper suspension, splash proof electronics and a fully proportional (not just on/off) steering system. The supplied 2S Li-ion gives the model some pep but it isn't fast enough for kids to get into trouble. We particularly like that you can remove the body panels revealing the tubular roll-cage chassis underneath. When ‘naked’, this setup has a extreme-off-roader look and feel. For the majority of the cars that include a battery, it will arrive at a ‘ storage‘ level of charge, requiring a full charge before first use. Consider charging the model up a few days before wrapping and handing over the present to cover this off.It is worth mentioning for any ‘serious’ RC gift recipients, we do sell chassis kits. These builds are pretty niche these days and require a whole host of supporting components, thus are only suitable for seasoned hobbyists. We offer a limited selection of what we consider to be the best kits and can also supply the electronics needed to get them running.

For example the HPI Racing Ford Mustang classified as a 1/10th scale model (although it is on the long side) and measures 431mm, 127mm tall and 200mm wide. This is approximately 10% of the size of the actual production car which (according to Wikipedia) measures 4784mm long, 1381mm tall and 1916mm wide.
