4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, cute, careful if you want to buy more than one, January 4, 2010

Bought 2 of these for my kids. It only turns in one direction and can't turn and drive at the same time (i.e., it has to stop, spin in one direction, and then go). Price you pay to make it simple for a 5 yo to use.

Main problem is that the cars use the same controller frequency causing a single remote control to control both cars. When you try to use both remotes at the same time - confusion abounds...

Update:
Seems that Fire Truck and Bubble Gum racer work on 49MHz. Police car, School Bus, and Monster Truck work on 29 MHz. If you buy two, make sure you go across these groups or else you will have controller problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for the price, limited controls, very short range, August 7, 2010

This review is from: Kid Galaxy My 1st RC Gogo Auto Bubble Gum Racer (Toy)

For $[...] it's hard to complain. Real RC vehicles are at least 10x that much. Still, I wouldn't buy another one. Sadly, I only learned this after I already bought three of them for different kids. And all three (different models) worked the same and had the same limitations.

The biggest problem is the range - about 10'. It's also intermittent. Once in awhile, it will work from farther away. But it also fails from very close.

It is not powerful enough for most carpets. Works pretty well on hard floors. Even had trouble on asphalt driveway.

It's also loud and annoying. I ended up taking it apart and snipping the wire to the speaker.

All three kids lost interest pretty quickly. It's just not reliable enough for a kid's short attention span. They have too many toys that work every time.

I dont know who loves this this race car more, my daughter or her grandpa (an ex stock car driver)! My daughter is 21mths and absolutely loves cars!!! We are a family of racers and my baby girl is no exception! This stock car is pretty, pink, girly and has a rubber body, so it can crash into anything and not get damaged! The battery compartment is a bit difficult to get to! The remote is a matching pink. PERFECT for your Princess! Karima Khatib Mohamed, Expert Shopper, Sacramento CA
