RGT RC Crawler 1:24 Scale 4wd Off Road Rock Crawler 4x4 Truck Mini RC Car (Red)

The media could not be loaded.  This truck has amazed me over and over again. The battery can be easily replaced with a drone battery, giving it a much longer life. I also added some poster putty to the rims. It looks ugly, but does a great job! I also fastened a couple of fishing weight to the shock mounts. This is a fantastic car when compared to any of the others that I own, including the ECX Barrage, Axial SCX24 Deadbolt, and the Basher Rocksta.

This is a great 1/24th scale crawler. I also have an ECX barrage and an Element Enduro 24. This unit is mechanically identical to the Element, and far superior to the ECX. The ECX is the same as version 1 of this one which is geared too high and the servo and battery are too weak. The servo speed and strength are great on this truck. The motor torque and speed are great for crawling. The wheels and tires provide great grip, and the detail on the body is very nice. The runtime with the stock battery is over 30 minutes and there is room for bigger batteries. I have no complaints about this at all.

This crawler preforms pretty well, but NOTHING compares to an SCX24, which can also be way more upgraded. I have had 2 SCX24s for over a year and they both still work like new. My RGT crawler, though? Gone. I had to replace the servo, motor, and the drive shaft.

This is a great mini crawler and I could not be more happy with the performance. Indoors its a blast to drive over anything that you can find and I also build an outdoor track for it and its amazing scale looks are amazing and I could go on forever about how happy I am with the truck its self. I did order some 600 mah batteries though to get some more run time ( the stock batteries do get good run time too). Here is the problem, I was sitting at my desk the other day and I saw some smoke rising next to my desk I looked down and the charger that comes with the truck was on the verge of catching on fire. I quickly turned off the power brick that it was connected to and it stopped smoking but it had melted through some wires that were next to it. Other than that no damage to anything else but had I not been home my house would have burned down. I know that your not supposed to leave lipos unattended but if I was in another room I wouldn't have noticed and something worse could have happened. Not trying to hate on the truck because I absolutely love it but the charger is not the best. Ive only had the truck for a few months.

Shipping from china is the biggest downside if you are trying to save money. The first one I ordered was from a shop in the states. $30 more after the extreme wait of the other I'd rather spend the extra $30. Performance was very good. Keeps up pretty well with the Axial and if you are into the scale building it's layout of drive gives you the ability to put in an interior.

Right out of the box, the ECU was loose from the frame and flopping around. It's just double-sided tape holding it in, so I re-stuck it and went from there. No big deal. However, about halfway through the second battery charge, the truck stopped moving because a pin had come out of the main driveshaft and disappeared. I fashioned a new pin from some wire and ran the truck some more, and the second original pin also went away within a few minutes. It took a few tries to get my homemade pins to work properly and stay in place. There were also no operation instructions whatsoever, and I had to figure out how to install controller batteries, hook up the lipo battery, etc., on my own. So far, I have yet to run through a complete battery charge without having to stop and repair something. I am using this indoors, and not abusing it in any way. This is far from a cheap toy, and I'm not pleased with the quality.

This thing was so gutless on my indoor coarse. Looks very good but gutless.

Great for money. Not as capable as the SCX24 but not far behind.
