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.

My son is five and loves this toy. It does the best in dirt and over rocks. It also goes well in the swimming pool. It floats and plows through the water. My son has a lot of remote control things and really enjoys this one. The battery is a little difficult to put in it.

My 9 year old asked for a really cool RC car - and this is it. On-road or off-road, splashing thru puddles and thru the yard, it does what it claims to do. It is a bit of a pain to charge since you have to take a cover off to get to the battery, and the charge doesn't last as long as the desire to play does. But an extra battery already on charge solves everything! We are looking into other KidGalaxy items for next time!

This is the sweetest R/C I have ever seen! The head lights light up and when the battery is low the head lights blink so my son knows it is time to recharge. It is so durable that we take it outside to climb the dirt hills. I also have to mention it just looks cool!

I bought this for my 4 year old for Christmas. He has had cars in the past and can be petty tough on toys. He loves it!!! Getting the battery into the car was a little tricky (because of the water proof-ness) but it lasts longer than others. Steers great (he is experienced with controls for his age), he loves the headlihts and it ru over all the piles of cars he makes. Great Value!

FatBrain toys. I bought two of these for my boys and after waiting, ever not so patiently, for the battery to be charged, the oldest was not able to make it go ahead. I emailed this company and was given exceptional customer service. Sending out a new one, no questions asked and no charge.

This car arrived broken, the inside gears weren't connected. But I called as-seen-on-tv and they sent a replacement immediately. Very good customer care. I would buy from them again.
The new car works great, batteries last about 20 mins before needing recharged.

My son received this a few years ago for Christmas. I was surprised at the quality of it and how fast it was. I have two boys and they have used the heck out of this. I think the water claims are a bit overstated. Though we have done it, I would not recomend using in a pool or lake, but it is safe to take through wet ground or even puddles. It uses a common rechargeable 9.6v battery which are easy to find replacements or extras. The bottom line is that between two boys they each get several RC cars of some kind each and every year, and very few of them last anytime at all. This one has outlasted them all, and we all (myself included) still use this one. Whenever one of the other ones has died we just save the battery pack for another spare for this toy that is still going. I would not hesitate to recommend this compared to any others out there.
