My son saw this in a catalog and asked for it for Christmas. I was a little unsure, he's had several rc cars before and they didn't last long. But now that he was a little older, I figured this would make a nice gift. We did have a little difficulty getting the battery compartment open on the contol, but we got it. Getting the rechargeable battery pack into the car was also tricky. But once we got them in, it worked great. I'm not sure how long the battery holds a charge, but since I'm not stuck sticking a bunch of disposable Cs or Ds into it, I'm not too worried. We looped the RC wire (on the car) around and taped it to the car using clear packing tape so that it doesn't accidentally get ripped off. We also marked the charger with "RC car" so that it doesn't get mixed up with all the other charging equipment in the house...

Update: I wanted to update this review now that we've had the car for awhile. Now that my son has had the chance to play with it for awhile, I can better describe how it works. It works great inside on all surfaces-- carpet, tile, linoleum etc. And it works outdoors just great. It rolls over our landscaping rocks without a problem... goes through the grass (if it's not toooo long) nicely too. We have been hesitant to run it through puddles, though-- I'm a little sceptical. My son likes this car more than his friends' cars because it has the ability to turn around almost instantly because of the 4-wheel drive. It's really fast and fun. We did end up getting an extra battery and charger (because I lost the original charger-- then found it the day we bought a new one). So, we have a backup.

We bought this toy for my son's 7th birthday. So far, he loves it. The Komodo Dragon is one of his favorite animals. He has wanted a morphibian for at least a year. It was very exciting to discover that they had a Komodo Dragon version. You can't tell from the pictures, but the 'face' does look like a KD. We have not tried to run it outside, but it does great on vinyl flooring and on carpet. If you give it a 'running' start, it can climb over small piles of stuff. The lights stay on all the time. My son expected to be able to switch them on and off. Like the other reviewer stated, the battery just does fit into the compartment. We took a piece of duct tape and wrapped it lengthwise along the battery, leaving a strip hanging off the front. We tuck the strip in when we install the battery. Then we can use the strip to pull the battery out when we need to recharge it. My chief complaint is that the battery only lasts 20-40 minutes, depending on how hard you run the toy. We are about to order a new battery so we will have a spare.

I have around 10 different remote control cars (price ranges $[...])and this one is by far the best. It stops quick and my 4 year old has no problem controlling it. It can handle most terrains. Excellent I would highly recommend it. Great company to buy from.
