RC Monster Truck Review

Hot Wheels RC My 1ST Monster Jam Grave Digger Truck

Although this remote controlled vehicle does not have a lot of speed, it does fantastic “wheelies” and is easily operated by even a 3-year-old. The remote is VERY easy to use. Even grandma could control this one! Very fun and good entertainment for busy little boys. Very durable too.

Unimax Radline RC 1:24th Scale Master Series Monster Truck- Destructor

I purchased two of these Radline Master Series monster trucks and a few Platinum Series cars. The Platinums are not to impressive out of the box, the Masters are really cool and worth writing about and hope some find this helpful.

Amazon just dropped the price of the Truck, which around $40 is not a bad deal. I paid less and would wait for a price break on the Buggy or Stadium Truck unless you are really poised on finding one. I have only spent a few charges of NiMh batteries with them, but my son and I have some fun chasing and running over things together. The controller is a little complex for beginners and does take some tweaking from time to time to get right, but what else is new with a toy. Steering can get querkey in small rooms, though steering trim and radius control feature is a plus.

Upgrades are hard to find, went to a Hobby Town Shop and found nothing, though did observe other RC 4WD cars are no where near this price. I am not a specialist on servo’s and upgrading motor sizes etc., I just appreciate a well thought out toy. Of the five Radlines I own now, only one did not power up, in part due to a loose wire connection to the motor. Changing out parts from the Master to the Platinum Series is fun and could prove to be a good experience for any technically inclined individual.

Unimax also makes a Radline Elite Series which would prosumably swap parts easily also. Just not sure how long these RC’s will be in production. The power and speed of this car out of the box is impressive and hope they will gain more popularity.

HAPPY SEARCHING
