cheap and very tiny!

This product was very very little. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. I think the quality of this product was junk. For $20.00 I expected a little bit more than this. The toy looks like it would of been from a $1 grab bag. Had I seen it in the store I would not have purchased.

More Cheap Junk

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

Bought this for my nephews. Spent all Christmas Day fixing it. It is very small, about the size of a walnut. It does not work well on any surfaces other than a very smooth and very clean table surface. Small amounts of lint and dusk clog up the drive gears. Changing of the axles causes the drive gears to fall off. Not worth the money.

You pretty much have to lay on the floor and not let it go more 2ft for it to work. Not advisable for a 4yr old with no patience.

FRAGILE UN-ENGINEERED FLIP-THE-BIRD AT YOU OBSOLESCENCE

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2009

Wow - $20 for what? Someone will laugh at you if you buy this - it will at least be me. I think the Nintendo Wii system works very well and for the life of me I couldn't beat my child for the first 100 plays on the video game, but that is another story. This little car has nothing to do with that except for little homunculus Mario, and the likeness of the banana, and the little red thing. If I didn't throw the box out, I would take another gander to make sure this wasn't some cleverly misspelled brand to look like the Wii, you know, like that ROLEX some people wear. OK seriously - the infrared controller does talk to the car. I could make the wheels turn. I could make the motor turn remotely, but as soon as you try to put the axle to the gear to the motor, it gets stuck. It gets stuck because someone sort of drew an idea and some sort of guy (or gal) sort of threw parts together, and sort of made the plastic sort of look like the drawing. The drive wheels are on a thin easily bent rod (you are supposed to take them in/out to switch to another). The pinion gear barely engages the reduction gear (all plastic with really really loose tolerances - think Flintstones loose, you know when the stone wheels would fly off the wood axle) and once you snap the axle in (one side at a time, yes yes I was careful), you have maybe one or two more chances of breaking whatever little plastic tabs hold the axle in and you are lucky if all the gears mesh or even inhabit the same airspace. Drive it for about 12 inches on a wood floor ("NOT on the tabletop KIDS!") with any dog hair or baby dust bunnies and it becomes a dog hair/dust remover - and a very purposeless paperweight. Clean out the now circular hair and dust, drive on a dust free environment ("ONLY on the tabletop kids") and watch as the car stops/jerks/goes, stops, then stops, then stops, then stops. You have now played out the life of this product. Throw it out and say a prayer to the environment. On the remote there is a little plastic dongle that is supposed to swing out and act as the Snap-on took kit for the car - I mean the instructions gave it hope, invested it with mighty powers. It has many intended functions to turn things and open things on the car, but it really is a little piece of formless fetal plastic that literally couldn't not stab its way out of a wet proverbial paper effin bag. The remote and the car have the greatest intentions of fun, but you will be much happier, trust me on this, staring at the picture at the top of this web page and IMAGINING all the fun you would have with this product. Go ahead. Scroll back up. Please. vroom. vrooooooooom. errrrrrr. wheeeee........!

Fun toy, High price

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 18, 2011

Let me first say I really LIKE this item. I read through alot of these reviews and one thing I keep noticing is people commenting "It didn't work right out of the box." I personally believe that some, if not all, of these people do not know how to turn on the car itself. There is a tiny on/off switch that is easy to miss in low light and you have to completely turn it 90 degrees. Now as far as the rest of the car goes, IT IS OVERPRICED. Maybe $10 would be more appropiate. The car is fragile and I have not tried switching the wheels. (I don't understand the point, if the car can't get a flat:) Here's the kicker though, THE CAR IS FUN!!! As long as the car is turned on it's responsive, it turns well, it reverses well, and the turbo button is fun. All in all, I think this would have been a really fun item for $10, but for $20 I have to knock some points off of it.

It's cute

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2010

I don't know how anyone can really be so serous about this little thing. I bought it on a whim and I just chuckle while I play with it. Sure, you could argue with me and say it was better spent toward buying the actual game, but come on. It's a little toy. I like stupid, little toys and it fits the bill.

Don't bother buying it for more than $20 bucks, though. The range between the controller and the car is very, very limited. The controller must always be pointed at the toy otherwise it stops motion and objects that get between you and the controller can also cause the car to stop. All in all, it's a fun little toy especially when you're racing a remote controlled R2D2!

Lots of fun; great indoor remote toy; recommended

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 26, 2010

I have three of these and they fun. Mini race cars that are made for hardwood floors. They are small, and the tires are made to pop off, I guess to avoid putting stress on the toy; but they pop back on very easily; any 5 year old can master them. They work great. They do time out if left on and unused to reserve batteries; which I appreciate. All you have to do is cut the car off and back on. They start working without issue. I don't understand the bad reviews. We've been using them constantly for two days now. My kids 5, 5, and 7 keep going back to them. I was so worried about the bad reviews, I bought our three locally in case I needed to return them. Turns out there is nothing to worry about. Yes, they are small, but they aren't flimsy, they work well, turn fine, go forward/reverse, and they are a lot of FUN! They are meant for use indoors, and on hard surfaces. I do think they are over priced at Amazon, got ours for $19.99 + tax at Target. But Amazon should price match; haven't tried it, but worth a try. When you need batteries, I suggest going to batterybob dot com rather than pay retail.
