SUCHIYU 10101 is powered with 550 brushed motor and 60A ESC, runing time 12 minutes. RC scene right now, and if you’re looking for a solid backyard basher, SUCHIYU 10101 deserves a prime spot on your radar. Whether you’re a total newcomer to the hobby or a seasoned RC guy looking for a tough, affordable rig to hand off to the kids on a Sunday afternoon, this 1/10 scale 4WD brushed monster truck brings some serious value to the table. Let’s dive into the specs, see what makes this rig tick, and find out if it’s worth your hard-earned cash.
Size, Stance, and Weight
First off, let’s talk about the sheer footprint of this thing. Sitting at 430mm long and 300mm wide (roughly 17 by 11.8 inches for us stateside folks), it has that classic, aggressive 1/10 scale stance that just looks awesome sitting in the dirt.
But what really surprised me is the weight—this truck tips the scales at a hefty 2820 grams (over 6.2 lbs!). That’s a lot of beef for a brushed rig, and honestly, that weight works in its favor. It keeps the chassis planted when you’re tearing up loose gravel and helps it plow through tall grass. The massive 110mm tall and 60mm wide tires give it insane ground clearance and grip, while the 270mm wheelbase and 245mm track width keep it surprisingly stable through the corners.
Under the Hood: Power & Speed
Alright, let’s get into the guts of the truck. Powering the SUCHIYU 10101 is a torquey 550 brushed motor spinning at 16,000 RPM. Out of the box, it hits a top speed of 33+ km/h (just north of 20 mph). Now, 20 mph might not sound face-melting to you 8S speed-run guys, but for backyard bashing, hitting dirt jumps, and ripping up trails, it’s plenty fast and super controllable.
The juice is managed by an integrated 60A ESC. I need to give you guys a major heads-up here: this ESC is strictly a 2S setup. Do not try to slap a 3S LiPo in this rig thinking you’ll get a speed boost, or you’ll be letting out the magic smoke. It’s designed for durability and reliability on a 2S platform, so stick to the recommended voltage.
Handling & Range
Taming a 6-pound 4WD truck takes a decent steering setup, and SUCHIYU didn’t cheap out here. They threw in a 6KG digital servo, which provides crisp, responsive steering compared to the mushy analog servos you usually find in this price bracket. You can throw it into a dirt slide and counter-steer with total confidence.
The 2.4GHz transmitter gives you a solid control distance of over 100 meters (about 330 feet). Unless you have eagle eyes, that’s way further than you’ll ever comfortably drive a 1/10 scale truck anyway. No signal drops, no glitching—just pull the trigger and go.
Battery Life & Charging
The rig comes with a standard 7.4V 2300mAh 30C LiPo battery. I absolutely love that they used an XT60 connector right out of the box—it’s an industry standard, meaning you won’t have to solder on new plugs to run aftermarket packs. You’re going to get about 12 minutes of hard bashing out of a single charge, which is pretty standard for a heavy brushed truck.
The only real bummer here is the included charger, which takes about 3.5 to 4 hours to juice the battery back up. If you’re serious about getting into the hobby, do yourself a favor: grab a fast smart charger and a couple of spare 2S LiPos so you can keep the bash session going all afternoon.
The Final Verdict
So, what’s the bottom line? SUCHIYU 10101 is a tough-as-nails, heavy-duty 4WD basher that punches way above its weight class. It’s not trying to be a $600 brushless race buggy; it’s an honest, fun, and durable truck that’s perfect for tearing up the local park, hitting some BMX jumps, or just goofing off in the driveway. If you want a 1/10 scale truck with awesome out-of-the-box presence, solid brushed power, and a price tag that won’t make your wallet cry, this rig is a total winner. Grab your transmitter, get outside, and go break some parts!
