I thought it was difficult to drive compared to older models

What happened to two sticks you point the direction you wanna go? This thing was complicated to explain to a young child how it works. Admittedly, he is very young, but very smart and tech savvy so it shouldn't be that difficult for him. Plus, I thought it was more complicated and difficult than the old way. My nephew is 3 but can operate iPad, tablets, etc on his own plus his brother teaches him to play with all kinds of stuff on his own, so I expected he would figure it out quickly. I'll have

Pros
  • Fun toy at a fair price. Small size does not take up a lot of storage space.
Cons
  • May break easily if crashed at high speeds

Age appropriateness in question

The description on this little remote control car said for ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 years old. I bought this for my 2 1/2 rather precocious nephew but when it arrived, the age stated on the box was 6 years old! I suggested if it was too old for my nephew that they put it away for awhile, but the page information was very misleading.

Pros
  • 8.26 x 4.21 x 3.97 inches
Cons
  • May require frequent adjustments to shocks

Small but looks great

We have nor used it yet, as it is for a child we do not know and are giving it to. Our review is based on how it looks out of the package and it’s great! A little smaller than expected but I’m sure he will love it!

Pros
  • The product is good thought it was a littler larger but my grandson will love it. Easy to operate.
Cons
  • Difficult to control for younger children

Breaks easily on my review.

I bought two of these as Christmas gifts and both were broken within hours. The axels are extremely weak. My 4 year old dropped hers from 2ft off the ground and it landed on it's front wheel and broke off. Unfortunately, it broke into so many pieces it was not repairable.My son's wheel also broke off, but I was able to super glue it back on. We'll see how long it lasts.As for those complaining about all the cars running on the same frequency so you cant play with two cars at the same time, you…

Pros
  • Too small and very nice build. My boy love it and so happy. Thanks you
Cons
  • The car may stop working suddenly

small, durable, lots of fun

We got this for our five year old, and he's had lots of fun with it. He's younger, so it's taken him a little time to get the feel for the remote control, but he's got the knack, and spends lots of time having fun with it. It's a smaller remote control car, and not so much like a monster truck, as he ideally wanted, but it still works very well. It is durable, although the top sometimes pops off upon impact, but is easily popped back on. This is a super giftable item, too.

Pros
  • With its easy-to-use remote control, kids ages 3-8 can easily steer their car in any direction, making this the perfect toy for young children who are just learning to play with remote-controlled devices
Cons
  • Limited durability compared to other high-end models

Nit durable: my feedback

Very cute. Works great not "durable " as in description my son drove it off a 4in step and the wheel back left wheel broke off. I don't mean pop of the the red plastic that the axel sticks into cracked a chunk off so 🤷. Bottom hatch that holds battery is thin and doesn't keep anything out of compartment before the wheel broke my son had driving it through leaves and sand box in back yard that night when I unscrewed hatch to remove battery for charge there was both remnants inside hatch.

Pros
  • Got for a Christmas gift, so not sure how it runs yet. But it looks well made & durable
Cons
  • Not waterproof or water-resistant

NOT All Terrain! Transmitters control other cars!

I gifted three of these cars to my nephews and they are NOT all terrain unfortunately, which was a huge reason I got them. My nephews don’t have roads or pathways at their house and these did not work on the grass or gravel at all. Also, the transmitters work on the other cars, which is frustrating when the kids are trying to learn how their cars work. Plus, there’s no way to adjust the frequency or pair the transmitter to a specific car. I’m giving these three stars anyway bc they are still…

Pros
  • Good Stuff.
Cons
  • Limited availability online

Never trust the ratings

Do not get fooled by the rating you see for this car. This car has only brought frustration and disappointment to me and my 4 year old grandson whom I bought this car for his birthday. I bought it because of the high rating for it, He got excited when he opened his gift. I put the batteries in, but after he played with it for a few minutes, it stopped. I thought perhaps the rechargeable battery was not charged, so I tried to take it out to recharge it, but I couldn't take it out no matter what…

Pros
  • made nice gift
Cons
  • No warranty or guarantee offered

Great first remote control car.

I purchased this for my 5 year old nephew for Christmas and he loves it! He kept saying it was the best gift ever. He’ll be a pro in no time.The only slight downfall if that when the cab of the truck popped off (it was easy to reattach) it exposed the wiring of the vehicle which could be a potential hazard.Otherwise I’m very pleased with this.

Pros
  • Easy to control: The remote is easy to control and rewards kids with major action - race your kids on Various terrains and watch it come to life! Slow but steady at 10 km/h speeds, it’s sure to master the most challenging trails you can find.
Cons
  • Does not come with additional accessories

VERY DIFFICULT to unplug charging unit from vehicle

Car itself is nice, fun, easy to drive. BUT IT IS seriously hard to unplug battery to recharge.have to use pliers to unplug from vehicle so I can plug it in to charger. If it weren't for this, I would rate it 5 stars.

Pros
  • Remote & App Controlled Vehicles
Cons
  • Limited top speed compared to other models on the market

Poor quality - my new review

My grandchildren had fun with the car, it did fall apart the same day. Pieces broke off on the bumper/grill, so I would say it was not made well.I guess you get what you pay for, next time I will pick a better made car.

Pros
  • My kids like this gift. Quick assemble
Cons
  • No built-in camera or video recording capability

Great gift for a mischievous kid

This item actually works very well. It’s been dropped and launched a bunch of times and only a piece of the bumper has broken off so far. Only negative is that it doesn’t drive straight and the alignment adjuster doesn’t work well. But we really don’t care if it drives straight.

Pros
  • Battery life is bad
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other RC cars on the market

They don’t have separate frequenciesSo on Christmas when the brothers got them one used his and both cars movedThat is not rightThere should be a way to change one number to make them different

Pros
  • Interesting Toys : Let’s race together! This RC car is very easy to handle.It will bring you a great pleasure and exciting experience from the fast speed controlling. Vivid design gives kids a sense of controlling or driving a real sports car with this RC car.
Cons
  • May become easily scratched or damaged

Good cheap car for a gift

Great cheap RC car. Excellent turn radius and quick for the price. The remote could have a better range but good for the price.

Pros
  • It is a gift for a five year old child for Christmas. That's all I know
Cons
  • The car ran for 5 minutes then crapped out. Piece of garbage I will not buy again

Broke right away best in my review

Unfortunately, this broke on the first drop. We tried repairing it but no luck. The 5 mins we used it, it seemed to work great. I would give it to an older child who won’t drop it so easily. Not toddler friendly.

Pros
  • Too fragile
Cons
  • Requires additional batteries (not included

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fun, cheap, but not durable

This is a fun little truck. My 3 year old can operate it pretty well on his own. The cover/truck body comes off easily but clicks back into place. The wheels are plastic in the center and my son stepped on one accidentally and it snapped where the axel meets the wheel. Overall, it’s a good car for the price but it’s not very durable.

Pros
  • Smaller then I expected
Cons
  • Gave it to him for his best rthday last Saturday & it didn’t ever work... Too late to return now

Disappointing on my review.

I purchased 8 remote cars/trucks for my children and grandchildren to "play” together with but it was impossible because they were all set to the same frequency and you can not change it. Was very disappointed because what we thought would be a great fun gift turned in to a mess because they could not all be on at the same time.

Pros
  • Safe and Durable: Battery-operated RC racer (included) is crafted with durable, non-toxic plastic for safe, long-lasting use.Large texture tires with great antiskid performance,strong grip and shock-absorbing function.High quality rubber material,durable enough to take bumps and bounces.
Cons
  • Does not come with replacement tires

Great Little R/C Car

I bought this for my dog. He loves chasing them around the house. This one is great, I mean it really goes and goes. I figured for the price it would not work too good but it goes. Steering is great, forwards and reverse all great. Would recommend. The size is perfect for the inside of the house. Thanks.

Pros
  • Toys & Games
Cons
  • Limited availability for replacement parts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Work really well but don’t bother buying 2.

I got two of these for my boys (different colors) and first thing I noticed was they were on the same frequency. so one remote controlled both cars. So that was a bummer. But works on carpet, are fast and the range is good.

Pros
  • It was for my puppy. Worked great. He loved it.
Cons
  • Very cheaply made

Remote Control: my feedback

I bought a car for my boy and girl. Different sellers. But they can’t play together because they can control each other’s car at the same time as their own. Good gift as long as they’re not brought together

Pros
  • Fun to play with our cats and 2 dogs. Works outside or indoors . Like it. It is rechargeable.
Cons
  • Not suitable for younger children due to small parts
