Don’t Waist Your Time!!!
Bought It For My Son For Christmas!!! High Expectations, Beautiful Design, Loved How It Looked... 1st Gift He Opened. Let It Charge For 4 Hours, Started Great For The 1st Two Minutes. Then It Started Jerking Back And Forth Slightly Moves (Clicking Sound). Now My Son Is Back On Fortnite, I Was Trying To Build Memories Like My Dad Did With Me With A Remote Control Car. GOD bless

DON’T BUY-WASTE OF MONEY / looks cool but isn’t
Unless you want a big expensive toy that your kids can only roll around, skip this. It looks cool, but that’s about it. The battery is so cheap and low capacity that after you charge it all night, you barely get 4 minutes of run time. The controller is cheap and barely works, slow to respond to commands, steering is bad, and no matter how much I adjusted the trim it would not drive straight. Having owned and built R/C cars since I was a kid, I considered upgrading the battery to a higher capacity, but everything else is so cheap that i’ts not worth it. A big waste of money & time.

Kept braking every time it was used
The front wheels link to the car that allows them to turn broke the very first time my son used it. I tried supergluing the pieces and eventually JB weld was able to keep those pieces together. A month later the battery stopped charging correctly and can only move downhill. This review is a year after the purchase and the toy has been gone to the trash over 6 months ago. It was big Christmas present disappointment for my 5 year old son who was able to play with it only a handful of times in the driveway and something broke or didn’t work every time.
