“Ordered this at end of November but there wasn't stock so was delivered mid December. Advertised as 4wd with lights, but had neither. Car was otherwise decent, although as it's small it's less good off road than others. The camera is good and works well. It doesn't pivot up and down so sometimes things are just out of the field of view. It's quite quick and I liked the camera, but lack of 4wd and size meant average off road so I returned for one a similar price but larger.”
“Contacted the team to try and source a spare battery for the car. They had no idea where to source one and seemed totally disinterested in helping. Would have expected better”

“Brought this as a gift for Christmas and within 10 minute my son had broken the steering arm , very weak / poor design considering a lot for the reviews say the car is tough . The car hardly caught the outside furniture and broke instantly .can imagine il be buying a lot of these steering arms throughout the year which isn’t cheap .”
