We gave this truck to our 10-year old nephew. Once we got the batteries into it, the car was played with non-stop all day. Even our 3-year old niece was able to operate the car once she was shown the controls. The car goes forward and backward and stands up on the back wheels and spins in a circle. The car stands up to crashes into walls and other objects. It takes 8 batteries, but the car was still going strong after 6 hours. This was the hit toy at our Christmas. I would recommend this product--highly.

At 3 1/2, our boy can make this truck do everything it's designed to. The pistol grip control helps him to keep just one hand pushing buttons, too. The battery install in the controller isn't very intuitive, but once we got that right (read directions, eh?) all systems were GO! The two built in stunts are a big hit, too.

We're not into gory stuff, so we removed the yucky decals on the sides.

We had bought one of those monster trucks available everywhere for the 2008 Christmas season. Those manufactured by New Bright. What a piece of trash it was, failed in the first hour of use with magic smoke from the flimsy circuit board. That was $40 down the drain. This Grave Digger truck, however, has proven tough as nails. The only problem we have with it is the limited range of the remote control, probably around 10-12 feet. Once the truck is outside that radius, it's dead until you get back in range and then it's fine. The stunts are a lot of fun as well. Our 3 year old son loves it, so it's a hit and well worth the money.

Gave to 4 year old for birthday present. It was his favorite gift and all the kids loved it. I was worried about him being able to operate it and that was not a problem. It was well worth the money and made a 4 year old VERRRRRYYYYY HAPPPPPYYYYYY...

This truck is AWESOME!! It is durable, has great mobility and is very easy to control. It took my 4 y/o about 5 minutes to master the control. The controller is a constructed with a thin plastic but it has held up to my little SPAZ (lol)thus far. The truck has taken a "huge monster truck jump" down 2 flights of stairs with no damage. Regarding the educational value; I think it has great benefit for hand/eye coordination development but that's about it. It does an awesome 360! It takes a little space because it makes a wide turn. Overall...AWESOME..I will probably buy another for his birthday.

We bought this last year for our son's birthday and we were all fighting over the remote control to play with it! It's so much more fun than a plain old R/C car or truck because it can also do Monster Truck tricks like spinning around and going up on its back tires. The battery cover for the remote broke almost immediately, but we were able to remedy that with a little chunk of wood (it wasn't quite at the same level as the surrounding plastic) and some duct tape. The truck itself has performed like a tank. Fun for five year olds and their parents!

We gave this toy to our 5 year old boy in celebration of his Birthday. He says it is the BEST toy he has ever gotten. There is not educational value but lots of good fun!

My son received this truck for Christmas and absolutely loves it. He hasn't stopped playing with it. He quickly figured out the remote and has been driving the truck all around the house. So far it hasn't depleted the batteries.

It was a B-day present for a 7 Yr old. He loved it and so did all the rest of the boys at the party.

My sons got this from Santa last year and it was a huge hit! Unfortunately, it did not survive the whole year (10 months). This truck was responsive and quick to spin, speed around obstacles or go over them with its great big wheels. This toy is meant for the outdoors and had no problems running over the rough terrain or work long distances.

Gravedigger will probaly last for a long time - as long as your child refrains from crashing it. My sons enjoyed ramming them into rocks or each other and the wear and tear finally messed up the internal gears and one died while the other just kept spinning. It did take a lot of knocks before it finally gave out!

I recommend this truck as a gift to a boy (4-10) as long as constant crashing isn't the goal.
