Review on Fisca RC Car Stunt Monster Truck - 4WD Double Sided Rotating Tumbling, 2.4GHz High Speed Rock Crawler With Headlights For Kids Ages 4-12 by Danny Kimble

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lots of fun, confusing lights

Bought this to give our cats something to chase. It does a good job of scrambling over small obstacles and moves just fast enough to be fun in the house. Controls are like a skid steer loader - independent forward and reverse controls for each side. The joysticks are simple on/off - not proportional - so control is slightly fussy but fun to play with. Bumping into things doesn't seem to hurt it, and while It may be challenging to control at times it's hard to stop.The battery seemed lost in the large battery comartment, and 400 mAh isn't a lot. NiMH AAA's are typically 700 mAh plus - but it lasted about 30 minutes pulsing on and off, mostly running one motor at a time. The biggest frustration for me was the light colors which seemed backwards. This car has red and blue lights, and the when the red lights were on top they were the *front* of the car. It would be easier to operate if blue (like headlights) faced the front when on top, and red faced rear (like taillights) when on top. I took the car apart to swap the lights and that made it more intuitive to drive.

Pros
  • Ideal gift for birthdays, Christmas, and special occasions
Cons
  • No way to upgrade the motor or other aspects
