Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We've tried so many non-hobby grade RC vehicles in my son's 10 years of life. From micro to giant sized, 5 or 6 different brands, from $[...] to $[...] (for a giant Hummer). They've all pretty much worked. Some broke after a few uses, some didn't perform as promised (running in dirt, for example) and some just lacked that little something that made it "cool."
This car is awesome. It's sturdy, drives in dirt and over gravel, short-ish grass, jumps curbs with ease, is fast, feels strong, stops on a dime, great remote function, great range. We've run it on regular batteries, rechargeable batteries, and a NiCd battery. For sure, the NiCd is the way to go, though we were impressed even with regular batteries on Christmas day. My son has driven this thing off of ramps at the skate park 6-feet high to the concrete with nothing but superficial scratches. It's filthy from running through gravel and dirt trails and my son just loves it.
Two days after Christmas, my son spent his own allowance to buy the white model of the same car. Trust me, that's unusual. He never spends his money.
I highly recommend this RC vehicle. If you're not wanting to spend $[...] to get a hobby-grade RC vehicle (which he was considering before his started using this car) then you would be making a good choice with this car. Heck, buy one of each and race 'em like we do. Super fun.

This past weekend my son drove this Dune Devil into a drain. It was the end of the world. Anyway, after removing the manhole cover from the drain and recovering the car from 10-feet down, the car covered in yuck (not a sewage drain thankfully), this car still runs. It was dripping wet and got flipped over a few times while trying to hook on to it. It had the NiCd battery in it at the time. Still very happy with it. My son is still enjoying it, as well.
