Car works as it is supposed too. Fun for all ages. It takes some learning to get it to drift good. The rechargeable battery is a very good idea so you don’t have to buy batteries from the shop every time. Would recommend as a gift to a child.

Not quite what I wanted, my fault. It still taught me a bit of what I need. Still good fun with the cones

Bought this for my sons 9th birthday and he loves it. The included road cones are a great bonus and he’s used it for hours.

This car really goes! This is perfect for kids that are learning how to use a remote control car. It comes with 4 plastic tires and 4 rubberized tires which allow for better grip. I ran it across my floor on tile, hardwood, and carpet. The plastic tires slide easily so you can drift it across the floor and do spins. The rubberized grip is better and has good traction. The car has lights and you can put a little water in the tank on the bottom of the car which sprays out a mist that is illuminated by a blue light on the back. Kids love it. The range seems fine although I have just run it inside my house and just up and down the driveway.The car comes with a controller, a tire lug, and an extra battery. The battery plugs into a USB adapter which allows it to charge. It must have been charged when I got them because it only took 10 minutes and they were fully charged. Installation is easy with one screw on the bottom of the car. The controller is best used on the side so you can control the steering more easily. For young children, it will take some getting used to. The nice thing about this car is that the body is made of a softer plastic which means it can take a lot of abuse hitting walls and so forth. Overall a fun car that kids will have fun with.

This is my first drift RC and it's toy grade, but the covered parts do seem upgradeable. I wouldn't bother with it though because this little car has plenty of 4wd power to throw around on a smooth flat surface. It's a good intro to drifting and you can practice not hitting stuff around the house. It's taken a few whacks with no damage, but there is zero suspension so I wouldn't put it on anything slightly rough. The radio is really cheap feeling and there's no proportional steering. Those are the cons. Throttle does vary though so you can do some wide donuts and stuff with it. Overall would buy again. It's a blast and the spray feature is pretty darn cool.
