Eachine EAT04 1/12 2.4G 4WD RC Car Metal Body Shell Desert Off-road Truck 7.4V 1500mAH RTR Toy Black
A part of the review has been auto-translated.
Small comparison with the WLToys 12428: brushless motor more powerful but more abrupt than brushed. Low quality damper, not adjustable and very soft. The car's behavior is difficult to control, flips over very easily. The wideners improve the handling but increase the blurring in the direction (important play). The tires are bigger and more eye - catching. Weak turning radius. Seems less solid than Wltoys The finish is less good than the WLToys (shock absorbers, cardans). To do with a kit of improved shock absorbers. I magnetized a lighting and wheels of the WLToys 12428. Handling is better (lower centre of gravity) Good car to start, but delicate driving in "adult" mode. Purchased with a brushless coupon. In brushed version, choose the wltoys 12428.

I contacted Customer Service when I noticed, and they had the Best Response I've ever heard: "Can you locate the parts and order them, we will refund you the costs". Oh. My. Word. Neither did I expect this, (I was mentally prepared to do battle!), but was blown away. Bravo, chat agent, Bravo. I ordered the $16 dollars worth of parts and gear lube, and updated the ticket with my new order number. 1 hour later I was refunded, with a courteous written email in my inbox letting me know. The truck, minus front diff for now, is extremely well designed and put together. There are the obvious drawbacks for a model in the price range, but easily remedied with aftermarket parts. A rugged design - ilive-rear-axle, double A-arm front, with a cool inboard design for the front shocks. The driveline includes a strange outrunner style brushless motor, but for those of you upgrading, the stock 45A ESC can go pretty far, and is remarkably programmable and 3S capable! The driveline has metal gear diffs, and mostly plastic shafts at the corners and between the diffs. It has no problem picking up the front wheels on launch, without flipping - a sign of good gearing choice. Notably, the EAT04 comes with 3 pinion gears to dial in for crawling and 3S, as well as axle extenders, both of which I think are exclusive to the EAT04 version of the chassis. It has metal body panels, all black, giving it a sinister look. The suspension is its weakest link - HA! - it has huge travel, high spring rates, and no damping - watch my video review for hilarious results. I've ordered oil-filled shocks to tame it's tendency to roll, check my channel soon to see if it helped! Go to https://www.youtube.com/GhostRyderFPV to keep up, and watch my video review!
Controlling this car really is fun. Quality ist good enough. See my pics!!! After 18 hours running time rear differential was worn down, didn't convey the full power. ButI used the adult mode most the time. To ensure longer life time use kid mode to prevent damage. I already ordered a second car similar to this. All the other here are either cheap rubbish or just unsightly. I like the look & driving performance very well. Spare parts you can get every where: wish, joom, banggood or home page of manufacture.
It doesn't bring led lights, and my spare tire didn't come, but as I always tell them Banggood's super reliable. Visit my channel. New rc world
the car for quality price is not bad but the battery charger that brings stopped working to the second charge I contacted banggood and I sent them a video and still did not answer me
Very good radio trolley control good distance with wheel extensions has better control the housing materials are metal very satisfied with the purchase you have to upgrade the battery
80 turn 540 is more my speed! This thing will crawl with the best of them. Stock plastics and everything is fine. 19 tooth pinion beats my Cr12 just barely, incase somebody wonders. The 80 turn is from Rc4wd for $13.00. This setup makes the stock battery last for an hour.
fast and durable, the metal part is the best, no scracthes at all
amazing performance
this brushless off-road truck is amazing! Brisk with the included Li-ion 2S 1500, but much faster and more fun with a 2S 2000 li-po battery! Great in snow, fast on road and a terrific jumper.
