1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Toy, November 25, 2008

I am employed at a store that requires us to play with this product on a daily basis. In less than a month we have opened at least twelve new Thunder Tumblers with varying degrees of success. I would estimate that 1 in 5 actually works normally brand new out of the box. The other four may have bad wiring and work in short bursts or I had one where when I drove it into its first spin the back tire flew off and rolled about 50 feet before hitting a wall with a decent amount of force. Over all I feel this toy is unsuitable for anyone and could even be dangerous with parts that fly off randomly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thunder DUD RC Car -- phhttttttt!, January 8, 2008

If you delight in disappointed children, multiple product returns, and general irritation, this is the RC car for you! Seriously...I exchanged / purchased these 3 times from 2 different retailers, and not one worked properly. The first one would drive forwards only, no tumble or light-up action, and would only do this much intermittently. The second moved about 1/8" when we test-drove it, then wouldn't do anything else...also, zero lights. The third followed in the predecessor's footsteps (leading further and further from customer satisfaction) and wouldn't do anything at all. We tried multiple sets of brand-new batteries (it comes w/ a 9V for the remote, but you supply the 4AA's...we replaced all) to no avail. I am really disappointed b/c this looked like the perfect rough-and-tumble RC car for my perfect rough-and-tumble little nephew.

2.0 out of 5 stars The wheels come right off!!, December 28, 2008

Both my sons received one of these for Christmas and within 15 minutes of playing with it, a wheel broke off. We were able to get it to stay on temporarily, but then the other one came off! Fun toy, but not durable or well made!
