Feiyu 03 RC Car Pro's
- 4WD with plenty of clearance. Can climb over most terrain with ease. But put it on flat ground and really open it up for fun!
- Easily accessable battery compartment makes it very easy to plug or unplug the battery without fiddling with kotter pins. Uses widely available 7.4V 1500mah 2S battery. Plenty of space to use larger (or smaller) batteries if desired.
- Right and Left steering wheels, with selectable right or left hand steering.
- Two throttle power settings for power over terrain or speed over the flats.
Con's
- Max range seems to be about 60 meters.
- Turning radius could be better.
