Survivor was an awesome remote-controlled car that was popular from 2018 to 2021.
Survivor came in several different models like Monster Truck, Stadium Truck, Dune Buggy, and finally a Legend Edition.
The Survivor remote-controlled car was known for offering a lot of car for the money—everything in the box. Survivor focused on driving abilities and top speed—not so much on durability.
Survivor was one of the first remote-controlled cars to use Li-ion batteries. This made it cheaper—but also a bit more delicate. For instance, if you installed them incorrectly, you risked them shorting out.
Better than Survivor
Today, the Spirit XL is a better buy. It costs the same as Survivor did years ago—and Spirit XL is even more durable!
