Jetwood 1/16 4WD Brushless Off-Road RC Buggy – Max 42 mph, Twinshell RTR

The Jetwood JC16EP 1/16 4WD Ready to Run delivers a compact, high-speed RC buggy designed for off-road and on-road performance. Featuring a brushless motor, a customizable PVC shell, and a robust honeycomb chassis, this vehicle offers durability and versatility for off-road RC car enthusiasts. With two LiPo batteries and a waterproof ESC, it supports extended play across various terrains.

Performance

The JC16EP achieves speeds up to 28 mph with the included 2S LiPo batteries, increasing to 42 mph with an optional 3S LiPo upgrade. The 4200kV brushless motor and 45A IPX5 waterproof ESC deliver consistent power to the 4WD system, supported by metal gear differentials for reliable traction on dirt, gravel, or pavement. Oil-filled metal shocks absorb impacts, though the lightweight chassis may flip at high speeds on uneven terrain. The vehicle maintains stable handling, but precise control at top speed requires tuning and practice.

Design and Features

The high-quality PVC transparent shell allows customization with included decorative stickers, appealing to hobbyists who enjoy personalization. Metal components, including ball bearings, zinc bumpers, and alloy CVD shafts, enhance durability, while the honeycomb chassis resists vibration and impact. The absence of a specific real-world car replica limits scale realism, but the design prioritizes performance over aesthetics. The 70% throttle limit function aids beginners, though the plastic suspension arms may require upgrading to metal for heavy bashing.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The 2.4GHz 3CH pistol-grip transmitter provides responsive control over 390 feet, with adjustable throttle and steering settings for varied skill levels. The two 2S 1050mAh LiPo batteries offer approximately 20–30 minutes of runtime each, though a charger must be purchased separately. The Ready to Run package simplifies setup, but maintenance requires careful handling of small parts. The waterproof ESC allows use in light rain, but prolonged water exposure may affect non-sealed components.

Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a transparent PVC shell, two 2S 1050mAh LiPo batteries, and decorative stickers included. Requires a charger and 4x AAA batteries for the transmitter (not included). Suitable for beginners with the throttle limit feature, while advanced users can upgrade to a 3S battery or metal parts for enhanced performance.
