Review on SGILE 4WD RC Stunt Car Toy With 2-Sided 360 Rotation, Perfect Gift For Kids And Boys Age 6, 7, 8, And 12, In Red Color - Best Remote Control Car by David Barit

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Be aware: Unit controls are backwards

I purchased the yellow SGILE RC Stunt car toy because it allowed you to charge with a micro USB. Another version that I had previously purchased "FAFUGANIA Remote Control Car LED Headlights 4WD RC Stunt Car" which is almost completely identical, required me to remove the battery every time to charge. So this SGILE version seemed an upgrade. While the units were identical in almost every way, they share one very notable difference:The SGILE RC car has its controls backwards.I contacted SGILE about this and received some emails about it. I sent them videos demonstrating that pressing the left joystick forward caused the RIGHT wheels to move forward, which is the incorrect way that it should work. That is NOT how RC cars should work if you have two joysticks like these. Pressing the left joystick forward should cause the left wheels to move forward, causing the car to move right.When pressed on the issue, the company instead stated that they would fix the manual. I informed them that the manual was not the problem. The problem was the way the joysticks functioned. They said they would upgrade the unit and offered me a 10% discount on another product of theirs. Gee, thanks.Thankfully revain reimbursed me for my purchase, but this was a terrible buy. Do not waste your money on this. Yes, it moved forwards and backwards just fine, and yes, I'm sure you can get used to the backwards controls, but I would rather have something that works as expected.

Pros
  • Poor quality
Cons
  • The car is not very maneuverable
