I bought this for my four yr old son, knowing that I would help him build it. He loves anything that has to do w/ race cars!
We built it and it was going together very well, untill we had to screw the wheels on. The screws didn't hold the wheels on, they kept coming off. You'll need to uses longer screws. A couple of the axles were a little warped but still worked. My son plays with this w/o the wheels. It is very nice, it is too bad they don't supply you w/ longer screws.

We gave this to my 4 year old son today for his birthday. He was thrilled and couldn't wait to help dad put it together. Unfortunately that's when the excitement ended. All the screw holes were too small and had to be drilled out and this was quite difficult to put together. No way a child could have done it.

Once it was all together though he is having a great time playing with it and it should be durable and fun. If you buy this, make sure to have a drill handy and explain to your child that mom or dad will need to do most of the work in building it. Our son did pretend to use his own plastic drill, but could not even use the screwdriver at all himself since even with drilling, the fit was very tight.

I will give the seller a chance to rectify this problem and I am hoping for a call back tomorrow. But so far, I am completely disappointed. I ordered this specific toy race car because of the red and blue colors and because of the number 4 on it!!! My son's birthday is February 16th and wanted to give it to him for his 4th birthday! I received a red/orange car with the number 78!! This is absolutely devastating for me. I am hoping the actual sellers will work this out with me and if they do I will be happy to change my review!
