UPDATED REVIEW in my review

Seems like most people review this RC when they first receive it. However, we have had it awhile now. They sold my son on this RC with the stunts it can do. It comes with an inadequate battery pack that has to be plugged into USB. The connection is tiny and difficult to connect/disconnect without damage to fragile plastic parts. On top of this, the instructions say that the battery should be removed whenever the RC is not in use. So you find yourself taking the thing apart all the time because, there is no external charging port on the RC and, trying not to break the tiny connector. Once the battery pack is charged it lasts like 10 minutes and, needs to be removed and charged again. My sons other RC takes standard rechargeable eco-friendly double A batteries and, he can play it all day without dying. I will be much more careful in the future to never buy this type again. So, there's some feedback from a Mom that didn't just buy this a couple days ago and, actually has a little experience to draw on. Hope this helps another parent to choose wisely.UPDATE - After posting my honest review of this RC, I was contacted by the seller. "Tom" went out of his way to be helpful even offering an upgraded battery pack at no additional cost to us. So, be aware parents, there is an upgraded battery available. I can verify it does hold it's charge longer, if you want to throw more money at this thing. It's currently about $12. Of course, taking apart the RC to charge the battery pack and, removing it every time it isn't in use will still be a factor because the car has no external charging port. Unfortunately, now that we have a the new battery pack the RC itself seems to be malfunctioning. It has never been outdoors and, since I have to install the battery each time our son wants to play with it, it has never been used without adult supervision. Despite the genuine concern, generosity and, excellent customer service "Tom" has shown us, I just can't give this RC better than 2 stars.

Pros
  • Durable build withstands rough play and crashes
Cons
  • Forward and backward motion is jerky
