EACHINE EC09 Remote Control Car 1:20 Scale

 

Eachine makes great drones, helicopters, boats, and cars and this car is no exception. This is a decent size and build at 1:20 scale (9” L x 5” W x 4” H) but still light enough that it is very portable if needed. The wheels are big and soft, and the suspension works well enough that it will take a beating going thru and over stuff and keep ongoing.

This comes with four 18650 (800 mAh) batteries and it takes two to operate the car. Each set of batteries gets you around 20 minutes of run time depending on how you drive it. So, if you have both sets charged, you get about 35 minutes of playtime. The charger that comes with it is nice and works, but only charges 2 batteries at a time and they do take almost 3 hours to charge each set, so that is a long time. I have a bigger charger that I can charge all four at once and they take closer to two hours to charge all four in that. You will also need 2 AA batteries for the controller.  

This car is surprisingly fast (about 2o mph) but easy enough to control that my grandson can operate it and get it around the driveway and yard without too much trouble. It also comes with some extra clips and parts in case you do crash it, so you can repair it yourself if needed.  

The remote works and is easy to operate with a trigger for forward and reverse and a wheel for turning left or right. I do wish someone would come up with a different design, but it is tried and true and it does work as is.
