    Cheap and doesn’t work. Purchased as gifts and now returning them. While it looks nice, signal connection is poor and car won’t run properly.

    Poorly made, I purchased 2 of these as Christmas gifts and one worked for about an hour, the other just a few days.

    Major Flaws (Bad Battery, not off road, left hand)

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: Fast, quick 180 turn works great, fun to drive Cons: 8 minute battery life, left handed controller, not off road, poor quality control I bought two of these for Christmas and returned them both. One had a bent wheel that the L/R adjuster could not accommodate for and always pulled to the side. Both only lasted about 8 minutes on a full battery charge. When there was lots of sand on the road the car would only do donuts in a circle. Car would not drive off road and always got stuck. Lastly, the controllers are left handed. They should have been designed to work in either hand.

    Excellent toy, very much fun to play with it; extremely fast. Just one question. Where can I order a replacement battery for the car? After many charges I think it’s commimg to an end.

    Fun until it's not

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My 8 year-old spotted this RC car on an unrelated trip to the store, and so a month later when I was back, I bought it on impulse for her birthday because I was pretty into RC trucks when I was a kid. I should have checked the reviews. This product is pretty fast, but the suspension is fragile and the car doesn't hold a charge beyond twenty minutes or so. Broke after six days. The battery assembly is difficult to swap out without an adult's help because it fits weirdly into the body of the car alongside the extension line, which has to be coiled just right or it starts to fray or overextend. I can understand why people buy this as a one-off, but it's cheap.

    Excited, but disappointed

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought one of these for each of my two boys and was very excited for them to try out their new RC cars. With there being snow on the ground, we haven’t had much a chance to get them out, but the snow melted enough to get them out on the driveway for a few days of fun. They were running great, but seemed to lose power fairly quickly for what I had imagined them lasting. It was maybe 10-12 min before needing to be recharged. On the second day, one of my boys cars went over a small bump and the plastic rod steering the front wheel broke away preventing the car from being able to be controlled. I looked online for replacement parts and found nothing. For the price of the car, I’m rather disappointed with it breaking so easily.

    Nice car, but toy but the battery is not great

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought it on sale. It was a good deal. But the battery doesn't last long. With a full battery charge, you could only drive it for about 10 minutes. And to re-charge the battery every time you need a screwdriver which is a pain.

    Nice rc car

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Nice car and controller but I find it odd that the supplied battery for the car is slightly too large to fit in the battery compartment without the battery door bowing slightly. Is that normal. I like this car so much that I bought another one for a friend.

    Front wheel and axle broke after an hour of use. Since it’s plastic, I doubt any repair will hold. For the expense, there should be some recourse or compensation!
