Let's be clear - this is a toy RC car, not a hobby quality car. It has plastic gears, imprecise steering, and a top speed of about 5-10mph. It will break, and replacement parts are not available. So why the high rating? Because it's cheap, comes with 2 batteries, is relatively durable, and customer services was excellent! We bought 2 for our kids (ages 5 and 3) and they've had a lot of fun racing the cars around the driveway, bashing into things, building race courses and jumps, etc. One of the cars had steering issues (stopped steering). I had to take it apart and push the plastic gear back onto the steering motor shaft. One of our cars was stepped on by a toddler, which broke off a wheel (not the car's fault). It looked like an easy fix, so I emailed customer service and they sent me an entire new car to replace it! That's a lot of replacement parts! Read more

My kids have been loving this thing! It's zooms around the house and my son has figured out how to make it drift. The first thing he did when we got this thing was ask how he could build a ramp so it could jump it... Durability has not be an issue, the kids run the thing wild bumping it into walls and anything they can. Battery life has just be ok, they sent a second battery which is nice, but swapping it out is kind of a pain. You have to unscrew the latch on the bottom and pry the old one out. They last a couple of hours with pretty consistent use. I would recommend looking into an easy battery swapping mechanism... Overall, very happy with the thing! Pros: Fun Fast and responsive Durability Cons: Battery swapping Read more

The media could not be loaded. *** Update*** Seller replaced broken car after contact was made. Received new car 2 days after contacting them. Cheap remote only turns left. When turning the controller knob clockwise or pushing forward the wheels don't move. Turning it counter clockwise or pushing back turns wheels to the left. Waste of money. Read more

These are great little 2wd racers. I bought this one and a similar one online on a whim for a bunch of adult friends to race with at a BBQ and I have been impressed. At first, I was disappointed that being 2wd and fairly small - they could not traverse my backyard grass. After mowing it at the lowest setting, they cruise enough to be amusing but nothing impressive. That said, they are a ton of fun off the grass. They are zippy, can climb within reason of size, and can take a beating. We set up a little challenge course for them and if you build it for their scale they can be fun little climbers. All in all - great cars worth the money but just not well suited for grass. Read more

I bought this for my 4yr old who was ecstatic when he got it...played with it for a good 15-20, ran into a couple car tires, flipped over once and the left tire came off. It's a pretty cool car and definitely has some speed to it and my son loves it, so I would love a replacement. We'll see what happens.. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this to put my gopro on to get some cool ground shots, This RC car is very well built better then the plastic shells i've had before, Super fun to drive around in the drive way and parking lots. I may buy another one for my brother. The 2 batteries is a game changer for me because you can always be charging one so you dont run out of battery. This is not for the grass, but drives great on the pavement Pros: Comes with two batteries - each battery lasts about 20-30 minutes Well built- its not just a plastic shell like others I have seen. Easy setup Control is really simple Has front and back bumper Cons: Controller is all plastic Overall this is a ton of fun for $40 and will last longer then the plastic shell rc cars, I recommend this for kids and kid adults who want something to play around with on their driveway or a parking lot. I've got some cool footage from mounting a Gopro to it. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Don't expect a long lasting toy when you buy this. Its quite the opposite. The battery life is horrible and the rc can barely drive on freshly cut grass. Have only used it a hand full of times and a wheel broke off. The aluminum body is nice and practically the only good thing about this product. Otherwise, terrible waste of money. Update: customer service reached out to me several times. They were very dedicated to rectifying the problem. They didn't just send a replacement RC Truck, they sent me a newer more powerful model. although the new model doesn't not have the aluminum body, it has a very sturdy and solid body with a plastic shell. But it's a 4x4 and fast as hell.. We love the new Truck. Thank you guys for making things right. Update #2 a little over a year now since we bought this and now the batteries won't charge anymore. We've only used them a handful of times. Just moved to a new home where we have a lot of dirt in the backyard and decided we take them back out and give them a run... Nope. None of the batteries will charge anymore.. no idea what we can do except cut our losses.. either way, this product has been a deal breaker since the beginning.. lights should be solid and not blinking when charging Read more

UPDATE: I found my free gift coupon from the original purchase and went through the process of getting the extra 2 free batteries and charger. Not only did they honor that coupon almost 2 years later, but they also accidentally sent two sets of the free gift. I emailed them back to see if they wanted me to return one, and they told me to keep it! Very reputable company! Highly recommend! We bought this for our 6-year-old son for Christmas. He has had fun jumping with ramps and off-roading. We wanted the alloy body so that it would stand up to the wear-and-tear a 6-year-old can put it through. So far, we are very happy with the purchase and performance. I would suggest getting an additional set of batteries and charger to extend play-time. We get about 25 minutes of play with the 2 batteries that came with it. Read more
