2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, September 30, 2007

This review is from: TYCO R/C CARS LIGHTNING MCQUEEN Radio Control Vehicle (Toy)

Its unfortunate that the description of the product doesn't specify that the car is set to ALWAYS drive backwards and the only "control" is to push a button to make it move forward. Its also much smaller than what you would think (approximately 4"). This toy is much more complicated than a control that allows for various directions to be selected. My son is constantly frustrated at not being able to figure this out. I don't think this toy is fun for a child, and as an adult I certainly don't find it entertaining. So, I can't imagine any age in between thinking otherwise.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Cars" Lightning McQueen RC toy, January 13, 2007

Bought this and the Mater toy for my kids at Christmas. McQueen car is really really fast. Mater sometimes runs pretty slow. They are both on the same radio frequency which is not good because the kids really want to play with them at the same time. Response time for the RC is really pretty good. Otherwise the kids just love this toy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightning McQueen Review, January 9, 2007

I purchased the "Tow-Mater" and "Lightning McQueen" for my seven year old grandson for Christmas. I don't know who enjoyed it more, my grandson or my son-in-law! The only problem we found that the control for the "Tow-Mater" would also control the "Lightning McQueen" car. Which my son-in-law found amusing, but my grandson found frustrating, because Dad was controling his car too! These cars are definitely fast action. It might be hard for younger children to control the cars. I will definitely add more of the "Cars" radio controlled vehicles to my grandson's,(& son-in-law's) collection.
