this car looks small on pictures but it's actually pretty big, it's a tank and it goes sooo fast and can also take a good beating. it's cool looking and i love it!!

We bought this for our son for Christmas. Except for the complaint that goes with all R/C cars...the batteries can never last long enough. :) He has so much fun with it outside on rough terrain and all. It's very durable.

My son really likes his new RC Car! It goes real fast on pavement, not that great on snow. He can't wait to try it on water!

For the price - awesome RC car! This car is fast and takes a beating. I have read reviews giving it low or poor ratings; and I gott'a disagree. Maybe they got a defective unit. Likewise, for some of the negatives mentioned - length of battery charge, range, lack of performance, etc... all I can say is "welcome to the world of RC." If you want it all, you will need to spend far more (several hundred dollars) to get the superior RC experience. Overall battery charge cycle is fair for a rechargeable car. It will last around 30-45 min constantly running on a full charge. It takes 3-4 hrs to fully charge the battery. It might not hurt to get a coupl'a extra batteries (and chargers) to swap out between charges. It runs very well on concrete and asphalt. While it advertises to run on snow and water, I did not really buy it for those options. We tried it on freshly fallen snow approx. 2" on grass; it did not work so well. I would imagine on fairly packed snow, it would do alright. Being in Texas, I don't expect to get much of that. We have yet to try it on water. It has a decent range >100 feet. We got it to replace an RC motorcycle that my son (4 yrs. old) had until it broke (one too many curb checks). He has already run into curbs, flipped it, got stuck under parked cars, etc...; and it keeps going. If it lasts a year I will be happy. Right now, we love it.

This could be just for our car only, but you have to stand super close to it for the remote to work and for the car to respond. The car responds so poorly that the controls are difficult. It doesn't work that well if at all on grass. The car is large and definitely looks cool, but overall the performance is very frustrating and I'm thinking that I may be taking it back to Target where it was purchased.

My son got this for Christmas and its a wonderful toy! Its fast and keeps him and all the other kids that come over busy!! However his uncle built a track outside and they were going to race their cars in the snow and this one didnt do well in the snow. It would get stuck and got frustrating for my son. I say buy the car if you want an indoor car definately worth it but do pay for it if expecting to play with it outside.
