Something a little different from an audio guy? How about a super cheap RC truck? I picked up this $30 RC Rock Crawler from Amazon just for fun as the reviews were so good. I was thinking either a lot of people got a free truck for a positive review, or there must be something here. Check out the video to see what I think. Not to be confused with a REAL RC truck, this one is merely a toy, but WOW…$30 buys a lot of fun these days!!

That’s Kool that your a kid at heart ..I am too ,might get it for my son
Lmao i sell rc parts on ebay. Get a traxxas stampede brushless like $300 but you will not be dissapointed go about 50mph out the box
But will it do rated?….
But admit it…
None really forgot about Tamiya.
LOL
Car audio and RC cars, my two favorite things in one channel. Great content as always.
Nice rc check out a few of my rc on my old YT account they are fun
4mph yikes. I guess that’s for a crawler though. I have a 75mph traxxas and I think that’s too slow. Good car for my son though.
my traxxas slash would eat that baby up lol.. 3s lipo brushless

Thank you for this review c: its a pretty nice truck I like it
Awesome little RC man
Not bad at all. I enjoy these occasional breaks from car audio you take to show us a neat toy you found.
Time for microspeakers and microamps.
Lithium aa?
Im an RC car lover, also a sound-car lover. Somehow this things are related, electronics!! Nice video.
Man we like the same stuff. Coooool
But what are the .5 ohm numbers? haha I love rc trucks.
So, are you adding a mini sub amp and woofer to it?
I just ordered the upgraded version. Can’t wait, it’s been years sense I had one. Thx Big D! U da man!
The other one you should try out I don’t even know if they have it on Amazon but it’s red cat … It’s a very good crawler at usually blue black and white color… It has crab walk four-wheel steer individual steer and so on… My recommendations though if you’re going to get seriously into putting like big rock crawling borders and beating it up upgrade the servos to a metal gear style Redcat sells a metal gear style servo
Back in the late 80’s, there was toy car made by HASBRO called “Record Breakers”. They were modular in design, allowing for upgraded motors, tires, etc. They used 2 AA batteries. I figured out that you could gently force a 9v battery into the AA slot, and it could touch the +/- contacts. The result? It’d scream. You might be able to find an old cell phone battery or similar (just probe it for continuity I guess) and I bet you can get thing to move faster, for cheap. Hell, might even be able to zip tie a cordless power drill battery to it. One of mine is 12v, and I’ve used it with spade lugs to move seats in cars w/o a car battery 😉 and many have a decent DC voltage number, that’s sometimes higher than rated.
Nice, I’ll have to get one.. another great video.
The problem with toy grade RCs is the lack of replacement/upgrade parts.
didn’t know that you was into RC cars
Man looks like fun thanks for the tip Big D
Where are the guts!?
this is a strange looking amp 😀 , now can you actually(rock) crawl with it super slowly?
You need to hook up some little RC car with a separate battery pack a micro amp and some micro speakers… And then use Bluetooth to transmit the music….
Big D make sure you turn the transmitter on before the car! Do a little youtube search on RC crawling its a pretty big hobby! enjoy!
Dyno it to clipping!
Put some 14500 batteries in it!
4.2V per cell vs 1.5V for a AA 🙂
See if it will handle it or if it explodes in a fantastic way 🙂
Lets put a sound on it!
I might have to get that for my kids

Steering wheel?? …you big dummy…I must have 4 mounted to my hubs…lol..Luv ya bro…I’d love to let you build my old system back to life…thunderpro 15s+mrvf-1000..subs work but would need a recone and surround..amp still makes the car go boom and yes I still have a fake leather cassette carrier slap full of 90s bass classics…91 s10 4×4 durango…like the bajas
All right, everybody get one of these and bring it to the May meetup. RACE!!!!!! Well, slow race…..
I love car audio almost as much as Rc trucks. I’m hoarding subwoofers and old school amplifiers. Hoarding rc’s too lol
Cool little toy for $30. Might pick one up for my kid. Nice find D
I think you need to throw a system in it!
Time to modify the battery pack for more voltage…
My cat does this and plus 100 other things..Dont need remote or battery too! 🙂
That is goin fast for a rock cralwer not bad for a cheap rc
