We have been buying R/C cars for our little boy for the past 2 years, getting models from box stores mostly, and being incredibly disappointed in the quality that $20, $30 and even $40 will get you. His Christmas gift, roughly a $40 car from Target broke after just 2 days of play...
I knew that there was another level of car, but I did not want to jump to the $100 price point for a 6yo that would most like drive the sucker into the sewer! Then I found this little gem. It has the look and feel of a much most expensive car, but at an intro price point that was perfect for my young'uns. (I did get the insurance since I do expect my kids to break any toy that is not made of wood!)
Pros:
- battery life is pretty good - I will charge the batteries over night, or during the work day, and the boy will then have a solid 30/40 minutes of play time after school.
- Ability to control the speed - we can lower the speed/throttle on the remote, which was helpful when he started to want to be more controlled in his operation, and it was nice when letting the 4yo have a turn.
- spare parts - you'll need 'em - we had a handful of full force slams into trees, curbs, tires that resulted in a few of the axils to bust, and a trip down a few stairs required a quick change out of a shock.
- great support - I reached out to the manufacturer and they were willing to send additional parts - which is pretty rare, but a nice surprise!
Cons:
- the tires have come off the wheel - but this is a minor issue in my book - I just dabbed some super glue as the issue arose and problem fixed (can't complain w/ the beating this thing has taken)
- needing to replace the axils as they pop out - not a huge issue based on the way the kids play, but these are plastic and they will break. I have started to only replace 1 of the front axils (drive shaft) at a time - this allows one front wheel to not spin and the kids love doing donuts!
- that I wasted so much time/money on the janky cars from Target/Walmart and didn't just bite the bullet last year.
All in all - this has been a great purchase - I want to say that we got about 8 hours of use the first week having the machine, and it has provided roughly 5 hours per week for 3 weeks after. so - we've ragged this thing for almost 25 hours and it's holding up great. I imagine that we'll be using this through the summer, and hopefully can pass it down to the younger when bday comes and we step up to a faster/larger model.
hope this helps somebody

Good vehicle
Overall was pleased with this product. Instructions were easy to understand. Charged both batteries with the provided usb cable (although separately). Easy to turn on and off. Easy to steer. I like how you can adjust the steering if your wheels are slightly off in the front and you can adjust the speed to max out at lower speeds or higher speeds.Cons are that it makes this god awful humming sound when it is in operation. Almost unbearable indoors. I would suggest to only run it outside. The top cover is very flimsy and looks cheap. But I guess that keeps the weight down. Last, there were no batteries provided for the remote control, so basically you cannot use it right out of the box (super frustrating). These are why I am giving it a 4 star review.

Not too big, not too small - perfect for the neighborhood
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2024
This car is a good balance between two small to tackle bumps in the pavement & grass, or too big to have fun in the neighborhood. It can tackle pavement cracks & bumps no problem, and it has no problems tearing through the grass either. The LED lights are a nice touch. The power button is hidden but easy to access, I'm including a picture that shows where to find it. The weak spot on these cars is the suspension, after a while it likes to bind up. The car still drives fine, but it would be better if the shock mounts were a little sturdier. That would prevent the shocks from locking up, therefore providing a smoother ride.
