EXBONZAI Remote Control Car 1/12 Hobby RC Buggy 2.4Ghz 4WD RTR Off-Road RC Drift Car for Adults High Speed Racing RC Cars with 2 Batteries Aluminum Alloy Shock Tower, Kraze (Yellow, 1/12)

This truck really moves! My grandson absolutely loved it. Very well made, however the charger could use improvements.

海外の方のレビューばかりですが、日本にも、思ってたより早くちゃんと届きました。1/12というサイズが持運びや、ショートサーキットに向いてます。速さも50キロくらいで、速すぎずコントロールしやすいです。付属タイヤのグリップも悪くない。ボディーもハイエンドバギーみたいなデザインでカラーリングもカッコよく、サーキットに行くとコレどこの？と注目されます。材料がナイロン素材が混ざった軟性ある物なので、ジャンプ台でジャンプに失敗し、車体がなんども側転しましたが、サスアーム等の足回りも折れたりせず、タミヤの復刻バギーよりはるかに安心感あります。デメリットは、ターンバックルでは無いので足回り調整に限界があります。あと、高性能ESCにより耐熱保護回路が働くのは良いですが、連続走行に弱いです。あと舵角が浅いので、小回りはリアタイヤノミューを下げる必要があります。総括として、オフロードもカーペットもよく走り満足です。2024年9月追記ついに限界を迎えました。これまでに壊れた箇所を記載します。・フロントダンパーシャフト曲がり・ドライブシャフト曲がり・モーターマウントのネジ穴がバカに・上記に伴いスパーギヤ舐め総括ダンパーをタミヤのバギー用アルミダンパーに交換、ESCやモーターをブラシレス化し7.2Vリポバッテリー化。タイヤもハイエンドバギー用を履いて人工芝サーキットをハイエンドバギーと一緒に走らせられるほど活躍してくれました。特筆すべきはリアデフ。人工芝やカーペット、オンロード路面問わず、素晴らしいコーナリングをしてくれました！！高額なのでハイエンドバギーのエントリーモデルを買えるコスパの悪さですが、これまで10台以上中華バギーを走らせた中でも、ダントツに走らせやすく耐久性も良かったです。中華RTRでハイエンドを追い回す楽しいベース車でした。

There are some good points about this buggy. Has metal diffs, they are greased. Has a 3 wire servo plug on the ESC which will allow you to upgrade to a 3wire servo on the stock esc. It looks quite nice.Unfortunately there are quite a few bad points. First, it claims 48 +KMH, I only got 36 KMH. That is like 75% of advertised speed, and they do not say up to 48, they say 48+. I complained to seller, they tried to claim it was fine, or conditions or bad range on the RX/TX. They said they would send me the brushless upgrade for free, I thought that would be ok, I should then get the advertised speed.I then looked at what it would take to install the upgrade, that is where I came across the worst thing about this car, it's design. To remove anything, servo, esc or motor, you have to basically tear down the car entirely. The cover over the wires from the servo to the esc has to be removed to take the other parts out. However, to get that cover off you have to remove the center driveshaft. To get to the driveshaft you have to take the front and rear end apart down to the diffs.I also realized that if they send me the brushless upgrade, I'm going to have to buy a servo, and a transmitter and receiver. While I hope it would be a MUCH better car then, how much time and money will I have to sink into it to get it there...Spares for this thing worry me as well, bonzai does have a site with some of the parts available, but I do not see them all.Even with the good price, if I had it to do over again I would not buy this car. If I get it upgraded and it just blows my mind, I will update my review, but don't hold your breath.

What I like about the Bonzai Craze is the speed! This thing is quick. Like really quick. It also comes with 2 batteries for a decent amount of run time. I think I was able to ride for 25 minutes or so and I was driving it pretty hard. I also like the thick aluminum fenders. It's well protected and super fun to drive. What I don't like, or what I'm concerned about rather, is the heat the motor had produced after driving through both batteries. I don't know if that's normal or not but my motor was pretty toasty. I'm going to race my buddies RC tomorrow hopefully I can get some footage. Awesome purchase so far!

This buggy is durable and fast in speed and i mean really fast with good punch on take off
