A VERY Cheap RC Car!

[@TomleyRC]

As this is a shorter video than normal, it's even more important to pop back up there and give it a like (well, that's if you liked it lol). Have a great day 😁

[@muskokamike127]

definitely could have used smaller wheels and more tire. if you worked the night shift in a warehouse it'd probably do well on a polished concrete floor. (or if you worked night security for an office building, the marble floor in the foyer lol)

I love your vids man, still my favorite rc channel, and im more of a military vehicle rc guy. I love that you cover more than just the big 3. I dont own a traxxas, arrma, or (insert 3rd big company of choice here), but i do have about 7 fully functioning, heavily upgraded rigs right now, heng long, wpl, wltoys, eachine, redcat, and all of them rock after some upgrades!! I also appreciate seeing exactly what parts you use to dial in your rigs. Your insights are very beneficial!! 🤘

[@normanlaw8191]

I got mine about a month ago. I found the lights to be annoying so took them all off. Re-assembled the rear diff and it handles so much better now. In case someone is interested, the steering is a hundred times better than the UDI 160X series. I even managed to find some hex-adaptors so standard 12mm hex wheels can be used.

[@adisi_waya_kustoms4296]

Whats the stock rotor hex size?

[@normanlaw8191]

@@adisi_waya_kustoms4296 9mm

[@MCsCreations]

Hey dude, how do I find those 12mm hex adapters?

[@jeremymiller2340]

Really like there somebody stepped outside the box with the bodies I wish more of the big boys would do the same, nice little rig though

[@TomleyRC]

Agree. It could be pretty good with some tweaks

[@fuerzademapuche2532]

Honestly.....you're the ONLY R/C car channel I enjoy to actually watch.

[@lael1236]

It seems decent for the price mate and It kinda looks like SEMA proyect car!!

[@Muroabdje]

Like that it just scratching the rc level and keeps it price wise in toy class. The LEDs got me! Love tjat your channel is keeping rc on a reasonable level which people can effort.

[@MRMechanicRC]

Cool little street basher right there! Even my stock Traxxas 4 tec only did 27ish out of the box

[@rhrc87]

I like seeing some of the cheaper stuff about makes a good variety across a platform

[@riothero313]

The wing just needs to be painted black or sanded with steal wool to make the chrome dull like aluminum.

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Love the “smutty “styling! Something you don’t see everyday! Kinda reminds me of a copy of those UDI rc’s! Other than the bouncy springs, it seems quite cool to me! I’ll bet Stewart little would like it!🐭

[@Thebramforpresident1]

With removing the lighting, the wing, and then repaint the body, this will be as fun as the small wltoys K series (the small one)

[@Genrou138]

Actually kinda like the styling. I think the lights is a really cool idea in concept, but i can see the novelty wearing off quite easily.

[@WestyCoastHermit]

I appreciate you spending your cash on reviewing these cheapo cars. You're saving me a lot of money. Thank you sir. Take care!

[@modelnutty6503]

cool, you threw in the Peanut "zheome" clip. I'd call it hobby grade because you can add oil filled shocks and adjustable steering+suspension links, fairly easily. about same as the little "4DRC Sniper" AWD truck I'd just picked up for 55 bucks total (tax etc). I like the body on this and I'd ditch the wing thing too, the wing is just funky, could rip the body.

[@Nice-Swan]

Looks like a nice little car, I may get one for messing around with

[@flightpath22]

I agree. Looks like fun at least. And with a few reasonably inexpensive upgrades it could be a pretty awesome little runner. Repainting that body in the style of Billy Gibbons’ ZZ Top Eliminator would be totally rad!

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

It's cool as can be set up in drift mode. 19mph for $60 is a very affordable thrill ride. It's great that the price point exists like this in RC. Like the A959, it definitely performs well above its cost.

[@scottedwards402]

The body is kinda classic looking. I would definitely upgrade it down the road after having some fun with it first. Shocks may be 1st upgrade. The indicator lights are definitely annoying. All in all, it looks like some cheap fun.

[@boy6named6zoen6]

I really like the more classic look of the body. Makes it stand out, but that spoiler definitely has to go

[@Im_Bloody_Close_to_Being_a_God]

TOMLEY, I LIKE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS BECAUSE THEY ARE EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND ENTERTAINING. NOW, I REQUIRE A FREE CAR.

[@mcgruff424]

Hopefully it'll hit 20,000 LIKES! Your awesome THANKS for the content and your TIME 🤙

[@ohiovalleyboy8340]

#1 Cheap best ever rc... Title goes to the Hosim Q901,Q902. Brushless RTR,ive never had to replace a part ever.... easily my fav..beats the big name companies hands down. Please reveiw it TOM. Ul love it

[@Hondamark88]

Gotta love the 1/16 scale it’s really been awesome price and quality over the past few years I love it!!

[@amydream2306]

I think this is actually a really impressive car especially for the price. Thanks for doing these videos Phil, I know several people really want to be in the hobby but can’t afford arrma/traxxas and they shouldn’t be kept out of having all the fun!

[@NBC_NCO]

Soak the chrome parts in "super clean." Then paint them black. Super clean removes the chome.

[@3Y3ECE]

These little cheapies are actually a ton of fun to upgrade! Being so small and generic inside (the parts), you have many more aftermarket part options than say WPL or the like. At that point you are looking at 3 different scales or rc's that may have parts for it, one scale up and one scale down and the scale it is. Not to mention the cheap electronics needed... An ESC for this could be between 10-60 bucks, at your disretion. Radio and receivers can be as little as 20-50 bucks, great ranges with those radiolinks and dumb orcs (dumborc, i play d&d so its dumb orc to me). Love that body too, lots of options there!! Definitely a better spoiler, better lights (and a few more if you want accurate indicators and such) and tires/wheels... triple its price to make it sing and youve got a fully upgraded ready to ROCK rig!! Grat vid man, forgive my rant, but this kinda car fires me up lolz

[@packepuck]

Really enjoy these "cheap" reviews. Gives you an insight at the market..

[@waynewgooner]

Very unique styling - I like it!

[@adwan182]

This keeps popping up in ads for me. It’s better than I was expecting. Might get one for my son to mod

[@FreakMeat74]

I love the 'classic' bodies of all types, I hope they gain in popularity on all RCs :)

[@kieranb1275]

Looks like a interesting car a brushless version would be cool

[@deangrove5875]

Cool little car! See alot of potential in upgrades

[@robhotson1882]

Cool looking car like you said adding better tires and general Barrying it up worth while

[@arronjones6985]

I think that's a really cool, fun little RC. Like you said. You can pay way more for toy grade crap. Great video 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, plenty of people spend the same on something from a toy shop that takes 4 AA’s and goes about 5mph

[@rctrucks2094]

@@TomleyRC I had a non-proportional, dual stick controlled rc offroader that smoke came from the motor after running into a pillow. Will never buy from that brand ever again.

@@TomleyRC have you seen vintage CEN RACING SP1 RC RWD??? Because I have one

[@gugman9684]

The lights are similar to the ones in the ZD Racing EX-07 and the style almost the 33' Hot Rod from Traxxas.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, similar styling to the Traxxas

[@BrendonakaShanks]

I have a 16101 from this company. It's not a bad off roader, 1/14. I can say it isn't to me for the money. It's fun. Personally, I'd start with a more powerful battery, and upgrade the suspension and put better tires on. Then I'd put on better electronics.

[@kevingilroy]

It's pretty cool. But we don't have roads in Arizona. Only potholes.

[@Luke-en2tk]

Be really good to know what you think the best 1:10th brushless RTR basher for under £250 in the UK is, including budget battery and charger in the price and excluding any upgrades. You have FTX, Absima and Maverick all with offerings Tomley RC?

More cheapo reviews the better, it’s a level everyone can jump in on the hobby

[@doubledome2076]

Very cool little car!- Great video as always!

[@randall4411]

Yes...it's Allright . I agree ....a step outta the box is cool . Kids would like the annoying lights & wing . Not senior kids like me .

I actually added this to my wishlist on Ali, so really useful! Looking forward to the ae86 review mate, that cheapy is on my list too ha ha 😁

[@marcofpv1534]

Pretty cool car for the price! Would be cool to get one and see what it can do with some upgrades

[@frederickbehn5610]

The light kit makes it worth the purchase, that was cool

[@waynesellers4078]

I've got an old losi xx from around the 90s and I'm just wondering if parts are still available. The batteries are almost definitely dead but I assume everything else would still be OK.

[@Francois_L_7933]

I wonder if all those cheaper hobby grade cars tend to slow-down with age like the one I got from DeeRC? It might just be me but it seems to be getting slower the more I use it.

[@workingclassperson2124]

I got the blue one. Haven’t tried it out yet but paid 42$ and I’ll put some oil filled on it. Happy new year 🎆

[@HyperReality4]

Some of the cheap rc's are the most fun. You can bash them without caring and my kids love them. Gave the video a like! Hope it helps. Love the content Tomley!

[@yoshums7970]

Such a stellar looking RC. I'd love to use it as a base for some serious modifications.

[@michaeldorich4485]

It's cool looking little rc car. I am not sure I like the wing either. It could be fun with better tires as you said. Thanks for sharing.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, softer tyres and oil shocks, it would be pretty good

[@muskokamike127]

it would probably look good if you painted the whole thing satin black.....including the wing, make it more sinister.

[@henrywood5462]

So cool! what an amazing car for the price! The classic car body looks great!

[@Sleeved_fb]

Love the channel and all the off the normal reviews makes it nice to go find a cheaper good rig

[@decksonkujis6751]

Finally.. Somebody decide to review an rc thats always pops up in my fb feed. Nice ..

[@MrAppleDXB]

having watched the video now though, I can't help but think that apart from the different looks of it (which are pretty cool), surely something like the FTC tracer or comet, or the UDI 1601 brushed range would be a better option for only about £20 more? from what I've seen, they're either more "hobby" grade, or at least a fair bit less bouncy. Still, it does seem cool, with different light options, and variable speed settings. Also, I do like the shorter video! one thing (from an uneducated pleb, so feel free to ignore): doesn't the youtube algorithm like prefer vids over 8 minutes? so close, but so far, if so!

[@dougwaxler3088]

I'll happily give it a thumbs up. Thanks for the kind reminder.

[@Watermoehlen]

I really dig this car. The styling is pretty cool. The lights aren’t so bad either

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

These RC cars have been listed on Banggood for well over a month now, I actually applied for this one for review early last month in July as it said it was in stock, then that changed to expected to ship before July 20th, it is still in my BG orders section as processing and now the date has been pushed back to 13th Sept, wtf BG? 🤦🏻‍♂️luckily last week another vendor reached out to me to review these cars on my channel and shipped em out the next day, Go figure! so looking forward to testing them out when they arrive this week

[@TomleyRC]

I ordered this from Aliexpress 10th July and it arrived 26th 👍.

[@MegaAndyandyandy]

One extra like added!!! can you do a show on 1/18 short course trucks? dromida wltoys ECXTormant Thrasher Tyrono Yeti Seismic etc? I can't decide on which one I want the most!!!

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

I have been looking at the blue version of this, being sold under the JJRC brand as a Q117. I must admit i am tempted, but it appears to be a very similar platform to UDRC and Pinecone Models

[@christophermears7738]

I really dig the body in the controllable lights. That's kind of cool for a $40 car I bet with oil Shocks it won't be quite as Bouncy

[@kevinandrade7439]

Not bad for the money and I like the body style. Very different than anything else.

[@smashingpumpkin1986]

I think these models are especially important for people getting into the hobby. I like Kevin's videos, but when he says "dirt cheap" and it turns out to be £250, well that's no good for a parent whose child just become curious about RC, when it might be a passing interest. I think cheap cars are perhaps more important than the expensive ones. I've just bought a WPL D12, and it's some of the most fun I've had with an RC 😁

[@onevia_rc]

Honestly pretty good for a 50 quid car. Would probably make a decent 1/24 touring chassis with a few upgrades.

[@theafilmssm]

Tomley!!! You should find the top cheapest rc cars in the world and test them! I think it would be quite entertaining, as for the video, it was great! The car looked sick! Quite the deal for the price

[@TomleyRC]

Good idea!

[@KAZAN157]

Nice vid Phil but so far happy with my UDI/eachine lancia delta brushless, especially since your upgrade vid with steering arms issue. Upgraded oil shocks with some adjustments and diff tuning help much, making it a beastie... stay tuned and love your vids and enthusiasm !

Hey mister, one thing you don't mention a lot in these cheap cars reviews, the wheel hexes. I have 2 of the very similar brands udirc and eachine ones. And both have the non standard 9mm hexes (designed as brake rotors). So in case you need extra wheels, those need to be ordered specificaly for this type of hexes, or the complete overhaul has to be done...

[@Void-uj7jd]

That little hand is funny :D

[@adamwolfy4826]

On your reviews you say about upgrades, wheels etc .. could you tell us the motor and wheel hex size so it would be easier to buy upgrades.

[@TomleyRC]

Motor is more than likely a 2mm shaft (390 motor) and wheel hex was 7mm

[@andrew4403]

I wouldn't change the shocks they seem really nice and bouncy. Lol😊😊
