    I was excited to get this for my kids for an RC starter. Bought it for Christmas with about 5 early reviews and they were all good. RCs arrived and they looked good. I charged it liked instructed and when it was ready to go, it ran pretty well! But about 12 -13 minutes later, battery died already!! I would’ve thought it would run for at least half an hour. Nevertheless, I charged it again and ran it later that day and man I gotta tell you, This RC was poorly made!! The wheel broke off its axle while driving up and down towards my garage ! My kid was extremely sad . Checked in the reviews days later , which fortunately had a lot more reviews, and noticed other people experienced same thing that I did. I hope that Sharper Image customer service reads this and hopefully can replace it. If they do decide to keep selling this , I hope they lower the price dramatically so you can say at least you get what you pay for. Good luck to whoever buys this RC.

    I bought this car for my godson. Shortly after he opened it he came back with the front axle broken, this toy didn't last an hour. The problem with this car is that it was not made to run at 12mph. The axle broke off while going over a saddle.

    Hit the wall once and broke the tire. Good thing is its fast Bad thing is its poorly made which can break very easily. Construction can’t handle its speed.

    The car is great looking and we couldn't wait to get it outside. Popped in all the right batteries and the remote would not turn on. Back to Best Buy and try it again. Sharper Images products usually work better.

    Would not recommend! After first use the car stopped working correctly. The forward speed reduced to about half the speed of going in reverse. Called for support but none was given.

    My other grandson experienced the same problem as his brother when the front wheel broke off of his car after one use. Very disappointing holiday gift.
