    I was extremely excited about the price of the open box item, however once I received all the items was missing, no remote and the car was broken. Unfortunately I got sick and now the item is in returnable.

    Charged the battery for the full time that the directions recommended and then used the car for maybe 5 minutes before it needed to recharge. 8 hours of charging for 5 minutes of play is no good. Do not buy this product.

    Does not work. Remote control is broken out if box, will not power on. Have tried multiple different batteries. Basically makes this whole gift *very upsetting for an Xmas gift) unusable.

    Check out the other reviews. If this car is consistently junk, why sell it at all? We got it shipped very fast. It came the day before it’s expected date. It was for my son’s birthday so it sat in the closet fully wrapped for 2 days. He opens it, screams with delight and proceeds to rip it open for us to find the instructions to charge it overnight. We expected this as we have owned other Rx cars in the past. In the morning we plug it in and he used it for a total of 120 seconds until it started jerking. Another 2 minutes of play and it won’t even go forward or backward. It’s just jerking and clicking in one spot. He was so disappointed and I felt like the worst mom for buying junk. ZERO STARS!!!

    I really enjoyed playing with this remote control truck with my little boy. He was 5 years old when I bought it, and was very simple for him to use and understand how the controls worked. It was well worth the price and still works this present day.

    Purchased this truck for my son. The trucks looks and feel awesome but the battery performance is terrible. In the grass it barely moves and playtime is like 5 mins. I now understand why the price was $30.

    Nephew loved it - the frame on the car was a bit flimsy but it came with both a 9volt and rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable had to charge for 4 hours so don't expect to be able to play with this immediately.
