Hi. Anyone own one of these and can comment on its quality?

It's a kids toy, not a real RC car. Same junk you get from Walmart but in a LX570 body. It runs on four AA batteries. It's $45. Don't expect much. A real hobby grade RC truck will be in the $350+ range and will have a NiMH or LiPo battery pack. This is a waste of money IMO, unless you just want a model of your personal truck to sit on a shelf.

These cars aren't worth owning.

Yup toy-grade. HOWEVER myself and my buddies that are into building rc trucks will remove a detailed body just like this one and mount it on an appropriate hobby-grade RC. Very much a doable thing.

Thanks for the replies and I especially like @pigeonfarmboy suggestion. Do you have a rec for a 1/16 scale hobby grade kit to use?

You're going to have to custom build something to match the wheelbase of the body. Look at options from RC4WD or an ECX Barrage if you can find one.
