When opened the box was pleasantly surprised the build quality is brilliant it feels solid and has a good weight to it ,haven't actually charged and played with it yet as it's bought for a Christmas present but I'm not expecting any problems amd would be very surprised if there was ,also noticed all components of the car and chassis can be replaced or even upgraded just like the bigger more expensive models, so I've no worries in regards to any breakages from miss use as they won't render it useless ,keenly priced for its fantastic quality ,packaged well and great website

….which it will. After a couple of days of fairly standard 8 year old use a front suspension spring had popped off. No problem, ordered a new one but actually found the old one in the grass. Couple of days later a front connecting rod broke and this is where the problems started. Replacements out of stock on RC Geeks, only suggestion was to find “third party replacements” on eBay…which don’t exist. They did find a single one in the warehouse in the end and kindly sold this to me…by which time a second rod had snapped. Three wheel drive is better than nothing but now the steering linkage has snapped. So two months on with only intermittent use and it’s broken again. Could easily spend as much as the car in spare parts to replace breakdowns, assuming they are available at all. Disappointed kid to say the least…gave two stars cos when it works it was actually great fun but kinda need more than a few goes out of it…

Really surprised at the speed this buggy moves at, great response from controller to car and a great battery life. Hours of fun ahead, it's great to be able to alter the speed too, for smaller areas and younger drivers. Definitely recommend for first time buyer.

Dogbone shaft broke in first 20min of playing with it, it's a fast car but parts are clearly not made to last. Battery gives after 20-25 min of use but that's ok I can buy a spare but I can not believe it's has already a broken part. Replacement is about £6 for the car of this value that's a lot for a small part.

Really great little car. I wanted something for my son that was a step up from a toy shop rc car. He loves this. It's got a good bit of speed to it which you can turn down. Good range of spare parts available (although currently out of stock which I'm hoping doesn't stay like that!) the battery is great after the first couple of proper charges.
