Review on ๐Ÿš— Enhanced Performance: Cars Remote Control Car with Rechargeable Battery for Endless Fun by Sean Zamora

Revainrating 1 out of 5

low quality; Engine failed after a week

Bought two of these cars for my kids to play with. They were very happy to receive them. However, they soon started handing me the parts that had come loose during the movement. A screw here, a chopstick and a roller there. I used this as an opportunity to enlighten them on electronics and details. Annoying but easy to fix. Then one of them came to me because the right side of the machine was not working. I took the car apart to inspect the transmission assembly and damn it, the cheap DC motor broke. It didn't produce enough initial or sustained torque to spin the wheels. Checked left side, no problems. I double checked the wiring and soldering, cheap but no problem. I checked the battery twice. No questions. Yes, the engine is broken. BTW the batteries are connected to what looks like a two pin JST connector - this is NOT something kids can easily handle, it's very easy to accidentally bend the pin. Conclusion: The design sucks. It's not childish. Low quality parts. I am very disappointed with this purchase and will be asking Revain for a refund. EDIT: The second machine crashed today. It manifests itself with the same symptoms as the first. All in all, I am VERY disappointed with this purchase.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
