I am planning on gifting this to my 8 yr old son. We have purchased several $20-$50 RC cars in the past and I've been disappointed with their quality and battery life. But this RC car is so much better. It's very well made and is an amazing price for the value. I wanted to test drive it before I committed to keeping it. Here are my findings...
Packaging: Lightweight, good quality packaging with fun graphics. The car is encased in styrofoam. I found it awesome that I didn't have a gazillion plastic tags or rubber bands or screws to take it apart from the packaging. In a little baggy you'll find the manual, battery charger, extra screws, and a screw driver.
Controller: Strong hold on the battery lid. It takes 2 AA batteries. It seems to be intended for the left hand to hold it and the right-hand turns the dial. Push it forward to reverse the car. Pull it back to move the car forward.
The battery: the car comes with one in the battery compartment (which is very easy to access btw on the belly of the car), fully charged and ready to go. You just have to connect the two ends for it to supply power to the car. To release the connectors it takes two hands as there are 3 clips that need pressure. I timed the battery and it was still going strong at 20 1/2 minutes! I was super impressed! And remember, it comes with a second battery. That's some serious play time compared to others we have purchased.
The Car: It measures at 11 inches long x 7 1/2 inches wide x 6 1/2 inches tall. It has really good shocks and a sturdy body. The detail inside the body of the car is so cute. I can totally see my son putting LEGO guys in it to drive around! It has 4 lights across the top that kids will find awesome! Especially in the dark!
It drives and reverses well. It bumbs softly into walls and such. I had it climb over books and clothing and piles of towels. It has great power and totally can if the incline isn't too steep. If it's too steep it will just flip over and get stuck on its back. No biggie. I did notice that once it's engaged in one direction it's a little sluggish in responding to turn the other way. But for kids I actually prefer that. It doesn't go super duper fast but fast enough for beginners, for sure! My husband noted that it has front and rear motors and a tracking adjuster on the belly of the number.
All in all, this is an amazing entry-level RC car. Its quality is so much better than anything I've seen or purchased from your typical large stores that carry toys. I think my son is going love this and be able to play with it much longer than other ones we've gotten in the past.
