This seems like a great deal for a 1:10 scale Monster Truck RC car with 4WD. The size is huge and even shows that person can stand on it -- so it seems durable. Comes with two batteries for 40 minutes of usage.
Even more wild, the car is submersible and can drive in water!
I previously bought the Granite Voltage RC car for $60 but that broke in one day. That one was also only 2WD, but this one is 4WD
Make sure you clip the coupon for the $50 discount. Competitors appear to sell this in Walmart and ebay for over $200.

Update 01/10: Hmm, the Arrma Granite Voltage 2wd (hobby grade with parts available at your local hobby shop) and reviewed in magazines like RC Car Action is also available on Amazon for $99 and you can add 3 yr protection for $10.99. That seems like a great deal. https://www.amazon.com/ARRMA-RC-M...486&sr=8-6
With all that said, a young kid would have a blast driving this. Just keep your expectations low and you shouldn't be disappointed.

"Proportional steering
And
Proportional throttle"
Kills the deal
Replacement parts is another reason but not for me, I'm not into replacing batteries etc.

This is an RTR-grade car. As the commenter above stated, you'll probably not be able to find replacement parts (thus being more of a toy and not a hobby car) I think it fits its purpose though. In for one!
P.S. I miss Associated Electrics before they were bought by Thunder Tiger Corp. I drove out to Costa Mesa, CA just to see where it all originated.

Just bought this for my 2 year old to bash around with me.
- No proportional steering or throttle
- extremely slow
- the images are incorrect.. its a 1/10 scale truck.. the images are making it look like a 1/5 scale.
- if you break it.. no replacement parts, and its junk immediately
- its not not worth $100, let alone $150
For the same price, i would get the Arrma voltage.. yes, you have to pay for the battery, but its going to be much faster, and much higher quality..This is an RTR-grade car.

If you want much better quality for VERY close to the same price look into Latrax
119$ RTR
Retail is 129$ and they are miles and miles above in quality from the one posted above. Replacement parts, upgrades etc are readily available
This coming form a man with multiple RCs, some with thousands into it and others that I have less than 200$ in and my kids play with often. I'd not recommend anyone wasting their money on this.
