Our take on the Bruce & Shark 1:18 Scale 4WD Brushless RC Truck

The Bruce & Shark 1:18 Brushless RC Truck is a small-scale, four-wheel-drive electric truck built around a brushless motor. Brushless power in this size class is the standout: it runs cooler and lasts longer than the brushed motors common on budget 1:18 trucks, and it delivers quicker acceleration. The 1:18 footprint suits indoor and small-yard driving, and the 8+ age rating with batteries included makes it a ready-to-run package. It is a good step up for someone who wants hobby-grade electronics without a full-size truck, though its small size limits it on rough ground where 1:10 rivals cope better.

Questions and answers

Is brushless worth it on a 1:18 truck?

Yes, if you plan to run it often. Brushless motors run cooler and last longer than the brushed motors on cheaper 1:18 trucks, and they give stronger acceleration. The trade-off is a higher upfront cost than a brushed model.

Can it drive on grass?

Only on short, thin grass. The small wheels and limited ground clearance mean taller grass will bog it down. It does best on pavement, dirt, gravel and indoor floors.

What age is it suitable for?

The maker rates it for ages 8 and up. A brushless truck is quick, so younger drivers should start on low throttle and in open space away from obstacles.

Does it come with everything needed to run?

Batteries are included, so it is ready to run once charged. Check whether the package includes a charger and the transmitter batteries, since those are sometimes sold separately.

How does it compare with a 1:10 brushless truck?

It is smaller, lighter and easier to store, and it suits indoor and small-space driving. A 1:10 truck handles rough ground better and is more stable at speed, but it needs more room and costs more.

Are spare parts easy to find?

Less easy than for major RC brands. Bruce & Shark has a smaller dealer network, so check that your local shop or online seller stocks the parts you are likely to break, such as arms and gears.
