Overview of Remo Hobby MMAX RH1031
In today's review one of the most novelty and the best models for rigid routes. This is the radio-controlled monster Remo Hobby MMAX RH1031, released in autumn 2018.
Testing radio-controlled models on rigid slides and jumps is an unheard of drive, action and adrenaline. Nothing will distract a child from gadgets and virtual games as reliably as such an extreme RC off-road run.
Fans of RC-models, undoubtedly, remember the previous hit from Remo Hobby - all-wheel drive SUV Smax in scale 1:16. Two years ago, this radio-controlled monster just blew up the market and became the most popular model of recent years.
And now Remo Hobby's designers went further and swung at the scale of 1:10. In its design, the radio-controlled monster MMAX RH1031 is very similar to its legendary predecessor, but much more than it is. The novelty reaches 44.5 cm in length. However, the differences are not only in scale. MMAX is much more powerful and passable.
The most important thing that you need to know about the radio-controlled monster MMAX RH1031
Motor
This modification is equipped with a 550 class collector motor and can reach a speed of up to 50 km/h. Note that the engine is fully protected from moisture ingress. In general, all monster electronics has a high level of moisture protection. The car can without fear drive on puddles and even completely submerge in water.
The cooling system protects the motor from overheating. So MMAX RH1031 is ready for extreme loads. Just make sure that the radiator slots are free of dirt.
Chassis
Many people remember that the most vulnerable place for Smax was the chassis, which often broke down after slides and ski jumps. Here, this problem is solved by a simple and elegant solution. One of the main features of MMAX is a steel plate on the bottom. This ensures that the chassis is rigid and shockproof. With this "factory tuning" failure is not afraid of.
In general, the product is made of dense elastic plastic, which absorbs any shocks and loads well. Otherwise, it could not be. The very format "1:10" implies the use of the product outside the home, in the open space. Hence the increased reliability, endurance and wear resistance.
Drive and transmission
The MMAX RH1031 is a real off-road vehicle that loves to ride on sandy, stony, dirt and rough terrain. Reliable off-road conquest is ensured by the 4WD format (permanent all-wheel drive). The torque is distributed over all four wheels, giving almost total control over the road. This is particularly appealing to fans of controlled skidding in the sand or on the ground.
The entire torque transfer process is carried out using metal parts. The central cardan is made of a solid aluminum tube, gears and transmission satellites are made of steel. All of this, of course, has the most beneficial effect on the machine's resistance to breakdowns.
Suspension
As a self-respecting SUV, the MMAX RH1031 has an independent suspension of all four wheels. The presence of oil-filled shock absorbers allows you to "dampen" the road shake and better control the behavior of the machine during jumps.
Complete set
Maks got a 2500 mAh nickel-metal hydride battery. The battery charge is enough for 15-20 continuous driving. The monster is controlled by a standard Remo Hobby remote control at 2.4Ghz. Its range is up to 150 meters.
Also included is a charger and instruction manual.
Test run
Several conclusions we made after the field tests of Remo Hobby MMAX RH1031 model:
- The machine accelerates almost on the fly.
- It feels confident on the slides and jumps.
- The wheelbase is thought over so that even having thrown the car always rises on its feet and will continue a way as if nothing happened.
- On jumps it is better to press full throttle - so RC-model will land smoothly and safely.
- With very strong jumps, the car's bottom beats. If you plan to drive on the most extreme routes, you will need to refill the oil in the shock absorbers.
That in the end
Remo Hobby MMAX RH1031 left a good impression. The car is made of quality durable materials - steel, plastic, rubber. The assembly level is excellent. The design and design are thought over to the smallest details. Internal filling gives excellent speed and power. All together, it will bring the child a lot of joy and a lot of exciting unforgettable hours spent without gadgets.
In this material, we talked about the version with a collector motor, which is suitable for beginners and children. You can also buy a modification with a collectorless electric motor - for trained and experienced riders.
