RC SUV Feiyue FY10: Try to Catch Up!

Hi all.

Today I sur­vey the car on the remote con­trol. I peri­od­i­cal­ly order cars from Chi­na for my son, replen­ish­ing the col­lec­tion of small hot wheels and pow­er­ful SUVs. The child is look­ing for­ward to the parcels addressed to him. And when I saw this time a huge pack­ing box, I was hap­py. In the pack­age was a cool water­proof jeep.

Pack­ag­ing and equip­ment

The SUV was packed in a bright col­or­ful card­board box of huge size, which is quite con­sis­tent with its size and large con­trol pan­el. The box is brand­ed and is infor­ma­tive: device image, mod­el, col­or, its com­po­nents and, of course, a descrip­tion of the func­tion­al­i­ty and tech­ni­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics. The jeep was locat­ed inside on a card­board base and was firm­ly fixed.

The pack­age addi­tion­al­ly includ­ed:

• Remote con­trol
• pow­er unit
• Screw­driv­er
• Key
• Instruc­tions describ­ing the detailed analy­sis of the car

Appearance

The truck has impres­sive dimen­sions and weight. This is the first heavy SUV in our col­lec­tion. Length 40cm, width 27cm. Weight — about 1.5 kg. The SUV has a sporty col­or­ing with dom­i­nant orange. My son loves the col­or green and when he unpacked this pack­age, he felt a lit­tle sad. The body is made of flex­i­ble plas­tic, attached to the track with pins.

There is a plas­tic pro­tec­tion on the front, which comes with 2 open cir­cuit LED spot­lights.

There is a plas­tic spoil­er at the back.

As for the base, the bot­tom of the machine is addi­tion­al­ly pro­tect­ed by soft mate­r­i­al, which is screwed to the plas­tic case with 6 screws.

The frame is met­al. Sus­pen­sion is quite high, thanks to the huge wheels with a diam­e­ter of 10cm. The wheels have plas­tic discs, soft flex­i­ble rub­ber with a large tread. 2 pairs of wheels have a fair­ly large up / down trav­el, and the front ones are sup­ple­ment­ed with a spe­cial mech­a­nism for turn­ing them left / right.

Shock absorbers have plas­tic springs of impres­sive size. Jeep all wheel dri­ve.

In gen­er­al, the machine is made sound­ly, there are no vis­i­ble defects, glue, there is no unpleas­ant smell. Not count­ing the board with LEDs.

The remote con­trol is pis­tol-shaped, has a con­ve­nient size and shape for the hand of both an adult and a baby. It is light enough, has a flat base for the pos­si­bil­i­ty of set­ting it up. The case is made of black slip­pery plas­tic, I would like rub­ber­ized parts on the han­dle. The swiv­el wheel is also plas­tic, but it has a soft case. 2 indi­ca­tor lights indi­cate the oper­at­ing mode. The remote con­trol is mas­sive, but the con­trol with its help is com­fort­able. Pow­ered by 3 AA bat­ter­ies (not includ­ed).

In work

The move for­ward / back­ward (very soft) is car­ried out by press­ing the “trig­ger”, respec­tive­ly, towards your­self / away from you. And turn­ing the wheels is done with the steer­ing wheel locat­ed on the right side of the remote con­trol. pro­por­tion­al con­trol. The remote con­trol is quite sen­si­tive: the child can take short “steps” with the machine and start the jeep at a slow speed. In addi­tion, it has a trim­mer, which is respon­si­ble for the angle of rota­tion of the wheels. The fre­quen­cy at which the remote con­trol oper­ates is 2.4 GHz. The dis­tance at which the devices are in con­tact is approx­i­mate­ly 50m.

You ask, what is spe­cial about the oper­a­tion of this machine? In short, it is like this: very smart, very maneu­ver­able, not noisy, obe­di­ent. Off-road, such as uneven for­est roads with fall­en leaves, mounds, hills, city curbs and obsta­cles encoun­tered, such as oth­er nim­ble SUVs, are not a hin­drance to him. Even a 4‑year-old son fig­ured out the con­trol of this device. The pis­tol trig­ger has a soft stroke, and when you gen­tly press it, the jeep accel­er­ates smooth­ly as well. For lovers of a sharp start, this jeep is also suit­able.

The man­u­fac­tur­er talks about the mois­ture pro­tec­tion of the car accord­ing to the IP4 stan­dard, which means that light rain and small pud­dles are not a hin­drance to this jeep.

This one from the col­lec­tion is the most nim­ble and tena­cious, but the new FY-10 is not infe­ri­or to it

autonomy

A full charge of the bat­tery is enough for 15 min­utes of con­tin­u­ous rides at max­i­mum speed with bumps, jumps and col­li­sions. The device takes about 3 hours to charge. When ful­ly charged, the indi­ca­tor on the charg­er glows green. I was dis­ap­point­ed by the lack of a bat­tery charge indi­ca­tor on the car, but flash­ing head­lights and slow move­ments will tell you about a dead bat­tery. In order to charge the device, you have to remove the case — it’s easy, but incon­ve­nient. In the end, just brought the charg­ing port out. A hid­den pow­er but­ton is also not attrib­uted to the mer­its.

Conclusion

Both my son and I liked the car. Son more — because the new, obe­di­ent, pow­er­ful (he loves all sorts of acci­dents and col­li­sions — and this one will not give him­self offense), to me — because it is strong, heavy, maneu­ver­able. Rear­ing her and jump­ing from high steps is a plea­sure. It devel­ops speed very quick­ly, but at the same time it can sneak up slow­ly and almost silent­ly. Four-wheel dri­ve, light­ing, cool shock absorbers, addi­tion­al body pro­tec­tion and mois­ture pro­tec­tion helped to form a pos­i­tive opin­ion about the new SUV. A con­ve­nient remote con­trol and easy con­trols that even a 4‑year-old kid can han­dle make rac­ing fun and fair. At first I was wor­ried about the weight, after all, 1.5 kg. But then I real­ized that in vain — by the way, there were also dumb­bells, recent­ly bought for my son. Hav­ing pumped up his mus­cles, the son now pulls his SUV for a walk and from a walk him­self.
