Not a Typical Remote Control, January 14, 2011
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Disney/Pixar Cars Little Rides Radio Control Mater (Toy)
I got this for my son's 3rd birthday since he loves the Cars movie so much and especially Mater. He has other remote control vehicles like the Kid Galaxy Fire Truck which he can actually manipulate pretty well. As the other reviewer indicated, this toy is always on. When you put it on the on switch, the wheels immediately start moving. It's a little overwhelming, even for an adult. This means I can't just leave Mater on and ready for my son to just pick up the remote whenever he's in the mood for fun. The toy is cute, but not practical as a remote control vehicle as the controller is touchy and it is all about the timing. Needless to say, I am disappointed, but I'm sure my son will enjoy watching Mater run around on the kitchen floor running into the walls and over any obstacles he sets up (i.e., his army men).

This thing ALWAYS goes. It goes back and turns anytime it is on unless you push the button on the remote that makes it go forward. The direction that it goes is in the timing. We just go it yesterday and it was entertaining because it was unpredictable, which was fun at the time, but I think it will get frustrating really fast.
