"Santa" got this for our two year old but past years have taught me to try electronic toys out early. We demo'd this car on 12/23 and were quite sad that it made loud noises but failed to respond to the remote at all. Attempting to trouble shoot it ourselves before braving the Christmas Eve lines for an exchange we discovered that the toy also requires a 9 volt battery (for the remote) which is not included. The box makes no mention of this but does state that it requires 4 AA's (included). ** You'll want to have that extra battery on hand to make the toy functional.**
Our little guy loves this toy despite the noise factor and it's much easier for him to use than his "big boy" R/C toys that were so frustrating to him. It took him less than an hour to figure out how to turn it off and on by himself. His little sister has dropped it, stepped on it, chewed on it and otherwise abused this car and it's still working just fine. It really is made well for the harsh play of a toddler.

My 11m old son received this as a christmas present. It worked great for a few days. Then it went down 1 stairstep (sunken living room) and the motor stopped working. Lights and sound, but no movement. Inside, a resistor had sheered off that was connected to the motor. The car is made by Battat for Parents Magazine. I called Battat and left messages yesterday and last week. As of today, the phone numbers for Battat all give me a message of "this number is not in service". When it works, it works great - but beware that if it breaks you're probably out of luck unless you're handy with a soldering gun.

4.0 out of 5 stars 20 month old loves it, October 25, 2006

BowlnGreen "Diana" (New Orleans, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My First RC Car (Colors May Vary) (Toy)

Pros:
- 20 month old LOVES it
- He follows it closely and giggles when it spins around
- He loves the lights and the spinning gears inside
- Works beautifully on wood/non-carpeted floors

Cons:
- Is rather loud
- Range is only about 15 feet so it means you can't be lazy and sit down while playing with it but since my little one follows it around it's not a big deal.
