Maisto R C 1:10 Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

Reader Reviews
Item arrived undamaged. There were some surprises good and bad concerning this car.The good:· This car has coil spring suspension (but no shocks). Neither was mentioned.· Car also has working taillights (but no brake light). Neither was mentioned.· Very nice looking car.. Really good red trim wheel and brembo brake detail. The tires are semi-hard but it doesn't skid on hardwood floors. It's also pretty fast (for indoor use). The color is flat black, not gloss. This was not apparent in the picture.The bad:· Its lowest ground clearance is at the front... 3/16". Runs fine on my embossed patterned berbour carpet and paved driveway... forget about grass or dirt.· The biggest issue was that, for the price, I thought this car would have digital proportional control. Instead, it's only full on/off or full left/right. Guess I should have suspected since this was never mentioned but I figured with the previous reviewer being a car collector and having given it a 5-star rating, this would have been the case. Not blaming them for my mistake though. Anyway, This is why I docked it 1 star.In the end, my 18x26 foot room is barely adequate to run it. It's a heavy car and wouldn't take much to scar it up since it doesn't exactly stop on a dime... even with the brake (reverse). If you're looking for good precise control and/or indoor running, this car isn't for you. If you're looking really good-looking mantelpiece item, that you don't plan to run much, get it.
