Nice starter rc carDecember 29, 2009 John R. Prince(Fort Worth, TX United States) I purchased this car for my nine year-old son as an upgrade to his Nikko rc cars. While this is much more expensive, the performance is far superior. He is interested in competing at rc tracks in this area, so this is a good starter-car for him.
As others have mentioned, the car is extremely fast and and very agile. Although the description states the 7.2 battery pack is not included, mine actually came with it, which was a nice surprise!
We've only taken it out once, and I was a little dissapointed in how long the battery kept its charge. I was expecting 20-25 minutes, but it kept its charge about 15 minutes. Regardless, those 15 minutes were a LOT of fun.
The only other downside is you have to unmount the body to remove/instert the battery pack. This uses body clips that can be a little tricky, thus it takes a little time to get everything set up.
All in all I would certainly recommend this product to beginning rc car enthusiasts who are considering pursuing rc racing as a hobby.
Love it!December 29, 2009 A. L. Reid My wife bought me this as a surprise for Christmas. This is the best gift ever! I love this little car. I have never owned or operated an RC car, and I found it very easy to use right out of the box. The car will travel every bit of the claimed 25 MPH and is very easy to control. Can't say I'm sure how this compares to other RC cars, but I can say that this one is durable, easy to operate, and best of all it is loads of fun!
Fun Car, Great Customer Service, Honorable CompanySeptember 2, 2009 Kahna M. Cutler My boys and I loved the car when we got it - fast and fun. After about 10 uses it started to have problems. We never wrecked it or had any hard hits. It starts very rough and does not go from forward to reverse or stop to start nearly as fast as when we first got it. It jitters and stutters horribly. It was after the 90 day warranty, so I ordered and installed a new motor ($30). No change. So I sent an email to support and they suggested a new Electronic Speed Control and offered a discount for it ($19.99) since I was having problems but it was out of warranty. Unfortunately, that didn't fix it either. So I sent another email to support, ready to give up. I was pleasantly surprised when they wrote back saying they would send me a new buggy free. That was beyond my expectations. Hence the positive review.
In reading other's feedback, my car appears to have been a rare bad apple. I doubt the company could do this for a lot of customers, but it appears they haven't had to.
Anyone who reads this and thinks about trying to get a 'free' replacement car to fix something you broke yourself - remember that the company went above and beyond what they had to do. Respect them back and only raise issues if it really is a defective car that was not your fault.
Fast little suckerAugust 20, 2009 Austin Guy 2005 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Comes mostly assembled so it was up and running in a matter of minutes -- took it out on the street and it zooms up the block in no time (suprised me how fast it was). First time out in the street I must have gotten some interference on the controller or something because the car ended up going 30 MPH into a curb drainage hole! Luckily I could take the manhole cover off and recover it, and NO problems with the car.. Still ran like a champ (NOTE: I might have been responsible for the driving into the drainage hole, but I'm a seasoned remote control car operator and had over 3 minutes behind the wheel before this horrible accident!)..
Likes:
Super Fast!
Turns on a dime!
Has reverse!
4 wheel drive!
Dislikes:
Range on the remote could be better (luckily it stops by itself when it goes out of range)
