Test drive of the radio-controlled car Feiyue-01
“Feiyue-01”, or simply “FY-01” - as it is easy to guess from the name, the products are clearly not the Krivoy Rog electrical appliance plant. Jun go zhi zao, if you know what I mean. For only $ 53.99, we are offered a radio-controlled half-meter scale (1:12) copy of the pickup for off-road short-distance racing (you can read about this sport in English ).
From a solid box weighing 2.4 kg, generously wrapped with adhesive tape, we take out the machine itself, the console, the battery, the charger, the screwdriver and the instructions, which may not even have to be looked in (or maybe it will have: it has a useful list parts that can be ordered separately).

Four finger batteries for the remote need to buy yourself, so if you want to immediately after unpacking and recharging to go to conquer the local wastelands, stock up on batteries in advance.
Remote standard, such as "gun". The principle of operation is simple: the trigger on itself - the car accelerates forward, the trigger on its own - back, the wheel on the remote - the vertical analogue of the steering wheel. There is also a trimmer to adjust the angle of rotation of the wheels, a trimmer to adjust the gas and the switch settings of the electronic regulator stroke. Frankly, I got along perfectly with default settings.
The model reaches speeds of up to 40 km / h. This is not enough to break the legs of passersby, but it is enough that they have a reason to catch up with you and calibrate a little. Indoors, too, especially not play enough, it hurts the machine frisky. But on vacant lots, parking places and other poorly populated spaces, it is its expanse! The manufacturer promises a signal range of up to 100 m, but it is unlikely that anyone will need such a distance, because by 20 m it becomes inconvenient to drive a machine buzzing in the distance.
A 1500 mA battery fully charges in two and a half hours. It lasts for about 20 minutes, if you sink gas and surrender to the race completely, and for about an hour, if you take a smoke break and run around to rearrange the action camera. In the end, the car starts to lose in speed.
Cork, strongly giving away "Madei Ying", at first can confuse. This is just a colored sheath of thin flexible plastic, which is attached to the chassis with small clips. However, after several tangible collisions, it becomes obvious that the best crust for such a machine could not be invented. If he were out of something firmer, he would have broken instantly.
Chassis without a crust looks brutal.
And nothing with a crust.
Tough operation: before and after.
On the roads, the model, due to its low weight, begins to jump frantically, and it becomes difficult to steer. On the flat surface, there is no such problem; you can even punch it. Perhaps, the best coverage will be rolled ground.
The manufacturer speaks of an "independent shock-proof system" that preserves the mechanism from the destructive influence of shaking.
With durability is really a complete order. The machine with dignity withstands both battered asphalt and dirt slides on motocross. It was possible to put it out of action only by creating a clearly irregular situation. Yielding to the August sun, I grabbed a pickup truck from the ground and threw it to hell. The result is a broken axle and a fallen off wheel. Do not do this.
A little superglue - and the car is back in service!
But the pickup was doomed. In search of interesting personnel, it was decided to move the local skunk river in a shallow place. Alas, the baptism of smelly water did not lead to anything good. As soon as drops of moisture got into the product, the car voluntarily gave gas and sped off to the bottom of the sea. After that, she did not start.
An autopsy revealed that the regulator of the stroke caused by the failure in the aquatic environment was the cause of the breakdown (you can order a new one from China - this is where the manual came in handy).
As you may have guessed, that's all. Despite the temporary breakdown of the FY-01 , one can safely talk about a feeling of deep satisfaction. Here is a small newsreel of these warm August days:
