Fast Lane RC JLX Matrix stunt motorcycle tested

[4najib]

It sucks BIG TIME!!!! Had to take it back. The jlx overdrive is so much better.

[poultrycheeseboy]

make a video on the jlx over drive please

[tialynne99]

I cannot figure out how to get the wheels moving????

[jufeds]

This looks like a Fail 20$ is all its worth Maybe.

[Frances7426]

My son just opened this for Xmas - it was at the top of his list. We cannot get the bike to go straight for more than a foot before it falls over. We're trying the "beginner mode" - holding up the back wheel and reving the speed. We've tried using the stabilizers in "stand up mode", but it just turns round and round. Any suggestions? He's really frustrated and really bummed.

[Idontreallycare80]

@Frances7426 Sorry, but you may have to just look into another r/c.

[SerendipityCamp]

My son opened the remote control and a white piece - that is shaped like a half circle, with some cut outs - about the size of a dime - fell out. We don't know where it goes. Can anyone help?

[VerSaTRUsuii]

Now that i'm seeing this...i don't wanna buy it...

[txmaverickmh]

My son got this for Xmas, we are better than average RC fans, we tried to get this thing to work for hours, never got it to drive off the training bars, much less straight, and couldn't fathom the flip trick!

Boxing it up, hoping for exchange

[spicey22]

put a more powerful engine in this thing and then your talking but this sucks... so slow looking and it is so damn huge .... I saw this at Toys R' US and I thought it was a roller blade at first even bigger then one actually

[hippiegoddess7]

i take your word for it. i thought that would be a pretty cool toy for me ( about TIME you knew IM JUST A KID...!!) but now i know it LOOKS cool, but the way it really PERFORMS is pretty bad.

[mrcoolspider1]

is awesome I really wanna buy it

[mrcoolspider1]

The reely suck they can't go very hage anuff so I say ther jumps suck

[thunder5x5]

The first front flip was the best

[tigercat123ful]

Yo make a video on the rc called jlx overdrive that car is so cool it hose on water and snow and dirt and big air

[Legojet9]

That is really cool! Can it drive more straight?

[Poohpup]

Thanks for the review. My son asked for this for Christmas. Definitely plan to show him this video so he'll understand why he isn't getting it. Don't need to spent $89 just to have it end up on top of a pile of other worthless, forgotten toys.

[GRILLBUOY101]

i just started looking at tanks and a few hovercraft and the tnt seems to be the one so far!!!it cooks!!

[flergum]

just saved me $88 bucks.  appreciate it.

[randomstuffisawsome]

Wow that toy sucks ass

[putnamironman]

In a few years we might get to see Moto-Terminators. I bet that will be the real cool stuff.

[divanycorton]

what a pice of junk it sucks

[alangreen1999]

I wanted this but not any more. Thank for saving me $100 dollars

[5ghostshadow]

Thanks for making this video. Not feeling this anymore, you just saved me $100.

[CJGTFORLIFE]

Does it reverse

[mooneyskate]

gayyyyyyyyy

[Capitalboy55555]

This sucks waste of time and money

[Sagittarius1500]

Man dat shit sucks!

[akura2]

I race RC motorcycles...and although this is a toy, the steering looks to be similar... when you turn the wheel on the controller, you CAN'T continue to hold the turn. Once you initial the turn with an RC bike, you have to release the steering, and it will turn on it's own using the speed of the throttle. The slower you go, the tighter the turn. Because RC bikes countersteer, when you hold the steering, you are pushing the front wheel in the opposite direction keeping the bike from turning

[RCManiaDotCom]

@akura2 I did release the steering, countersteer, try blipping, every possible combination. The steering radius is horrible, it's an inescapable fact. Power to the flywheel is slowed when turning, removed altogether when off-throttle, helping balancing instead of training wheel dragging to be impossible, and making it difficult to pop back upright if are turning for more than a couple seconds at a time. The more you turn, the better you turn, the worse it gets. Also, no proportional control.

[wweandhalofan343]

@RCManiaDotCom one more vid till 200 vids :D

[bogdog999]

@RCManiaDotCom Bad design concept. This RC needs a separate motor to keep the flywheel up to effective speed, and proportional steering for proper turning control. For $100 they could have afforded to include both.

[dsfghfdstfnyjmyfyfgb]

RIP OFF PRICE

[RoastHardy]

Lame 'n slow as crap!

[Idontreallycare80]

@RoastHardy the whole point of this review was to expose that very fact. Jang is kind enough to test these products so we don't have to.

[TheOtowngman]

Can you use a hobby grade charger to charge toy grade batteries?? Please reply

[RCManiaDotCom]

@TheOtowngman Yes you can, and in fact I used one to charge this very vehicle's battery more quickly than the included wall charger. You just have to be sure to understand the exact stats of the battery you're charging, and set up the charger appropriately.

[ICGer]

The steering behaviour and general driveability looks even only on video extremely annoying. Thanks for your review, that's definitely quite bad spent mony.

[superpepsi0101]

Did they rip of the air rebound inflatable wheels?

[sqeker09]

It's ugly.

[nerdyrcdriver]

Man, that thing is expensive!

[meamjustme]

WTF. When i saw the grade you gave it i disagreed. Until i read ther review and found out what you paid for it. Damn.

[350zvj]

@meamjustme Yeah, the JLX Overdirive was around 70 so I don't know how they justified the price for this.

[RCManiaDotCom]

@350zvj JLX Overdrive was originally $100 when it was first released too; $120 some places.

[RcNickster]

To be honest I had high expectations on this one..love the size..and I was a little disappointed. I think they held back on size of motor..should be a little more power... I was wondering what age group this was recommended for??...younger kids would get pretty tiered of trying to get this to go straight and off those turning "training" Wheels...anyway I guess that is why we have reviews...thanks

[TheFlippo123]

glad you are reviewing because i saw at toyrus in san mateo and it look prettey dang cool great jang

[350zvj]

I really liked the JLX Overdrive, but this was such a let down. It just needs to be a lot faster. At least it looks good.

[sonicburst12]

Nice bike toy where did u buy it pls answer

[MarBenShua]

That's a pretty junk rc but cool trick

[omarbac10]
