Hello, everyone. Welcome to Beaver’s Hobby Channel. This is a review of Rapid Monster 1/32 scale RC car. I have noticed that lately the cars on this channel have gotten pretty expensive so let’s take a look at something more down to earth. Here’s a $20 car sent to me by Hobbymate so thank you very much. On the box it said Rapid Monster but the name on each website is different so if you see the same style of car then it’s the same as this one. There are 2 bodies to choose from. The one I have looks like the JLB Racing Cheetah in Blue. And the other one is the Cybertruck in green. Let’s open the box and see what’s inside. Here’s the manual, a screwdriver to open up the battery doors, a charger, and also spare screws for the car battery door.
This screw is very small so they kind of know that we’re going to lose it that’s why they give us a lot of spares. some traffic cones and barrels to setup a course. And here’s the car and the radio. The car is RWD and there’s no differential which is to be expected in this price range. Steering is simple snapping to full lock with centring spring. The suspension is simple as well with the motor pod separating from the main chassis. The front suspension arms are a bit pliable but I wouldn’t consider it a suspension anyway.
And here’s the transmitter. The antenna is just for looks. It does absolutely nothing except from covering this hole. The transmitter runs on 2 AA batteries. There’s a button to switch between low speed mode and high speed mode as well. The car has proportional throttle which is a big surprise. However it doesn’t have a brake, just forward and reverse. The steering is not proportional but that’s alright for a car of this price. The battery is 1S lipo 100mAh. It takes about 1 hour to charge for 10-15 minutes of run time. And the light will go out once the charging is finished. The turning circle is 75cm which is quite large. Now let’s see if it can really do 20 KPH as it said on the box. Apparently yes. Yes, it can. Handling is what you would expect from a toy car. It can drive, it can turn and that’s about it. But it has better control than other toy cars because it has proportional throttle.
You can run a few cars and race them together as well because this is 2.4GHz it’s not going to interfere with one another. You just turn them on one at a time. It seems to be pretty durable. So far I’ve crashed it into everything in my room and it hasn’t break yet. At $20 I wouldn’t ask for anything more than this. I think it would be a good gift for a child to try and drive a RC car with proportional throttle. Because it is cheap, you won’t feel too bad when it crashes. That’s it for this video.
