Review on 6-12 Year Old Boys Gift: VERTOY RC Tank Car Toys With 180° Rotating Stunt, 2.4GHz All Terrain Shooting Water Marbles Truck Kits by Travis Garron

Revainrating 2 out of 5

works ok. battery situation terrible

It actually shoots the water beads. Sometimes it shoots 1 bead, sometimes 4 beads. The controls are absolutely terrible. The buttons to turn the turret are in between the tall motion control joysticks and they are very short so you have to take one finger and press the button down individually. You can't do it with your finger on they joystick. The battery also came totally dead. We had to charge it up for 45min first. The thing sprays water but it sprays out the back and you don't have much control over it. You spray and then it just goes til it is almost empty. You can't make it stop spraying and it sprays for way too long.My biggest complaint is with the battery situation. The compartment has places for 4 AA batteries but instead they have a cable coming through and then you plug their custom battery into it. Just give me the AA option already! The battery door does not really click into place like you would expect it to. You have to use the tiny screw to hold it down or it just falls out. And guess how easy that screw is to lose? Yeah it was gone the first day.The motion control on this tank is just weird. They are pushing so hard that it can move sideways that it doesn't really move well forwards or backwards. It just doesn't make sense.One button makes the tank play this awful music at really high volume. Just terrible and annoying. Every once in a while my boy will bump that button and it just makes everyone in the house irate.As usual with a chinese product the manual is terrible. No help at all.When is Walmart going to let us filter out products by the location of the designing company? These china designed products are the worst!

Pros
  • The VERTOY RC Tank Car Toys offer endless hours of fun for boys aged 6-12, thanks to its 180° Rotating Stunt and All Terrain Shooting capabilities
Cons
  • The 2.4GHz frequency may result in interference with other RC toys or devices, potentially limiting playtime with the VERTOY RC Tank Car
