Wireless Remote Control Car Kit F1, Science Project Kit for Kids/Students/Education, STEM Project Model Car Kits to Build, Ideal Choice for Family and School

I purchased the previous version and had a good time putting the car together. It was fun to build and learn how it all works together. Once It was put together I was surprised to see how well it held together too. After a few "crashes" it still held together just fine. THIS upgraded version is just a significantly improved version of that, with even sturdier construction, and a cleaner build design. The instructions are easy to follow when building so I was able to put this together fairly easily but too quickly that it was over too soon or boring. Overall, fun to build, and fun to "drive" as well.

We bought this for my 10 year old son for Christmas. He loves tinkering and all things STEM. He came to me and said the motor wasn’t working so I reached out to the company at an email provided in the kit. They asked me to confirm it failed a certain test and after playing with it with him, I found the motor worked fine but not once he put it in the car. The company then sent me pictures of things to check. After seeing the pictures my son went back to the directions and found his mistake and was able to get it working. The turn around on answering emails was awesome and this gave my son a good experience with engineering. Not everything goes right the first time but perseverance pays off. In the end he has a fun gadget and had a learning experience. Win win!

Overall, great simple kit. It's truly a bare bones set up, but that's consistent with the price, and was great fun to assemble with my son. A few things are needed to make it better: 1) the small orange bushings that are used to secure the small metal posts that allow the front wheels to steer aren't tight enough, as such, we have to re-tighten them after about 15 minutes of driving around 2) the little glue stickers are neither easy to apply, or sticky enough. Why not just use the little screws everywhere, it would be much easier 3) the remote control range is too short - you need a better transmitter. 4) There should be a wooden handle part for the remote control. It's just hard to hold as is.

Item did not work for long. Very sensitive gears that will fail if not aligned perfectly. Be leary of any wooden model that has gears or any connecting/moving parts.

Cool little things I bought on here so far my son and I made an afternoon of it had a blast making them

We love the idea for our 8 year old son to build it, but unlike Lego, he needed our assistance every step to build it. It’s not easy to assemble for a child. If you buy it, be prepared to sit with your child and make it a project between you both. We loved doing it together and he was so proud at the end when he saw it built.

This kit is really easy to put together. The instructions…. The pictures could be better. 2 instances I was like whatttt are the pictures saying and turns out it was just weird instructions and I fixed it. It comes with 2 motors. One for forward and back and one for side to side. All the parts were inside. Even a few extra screws. The connectors are kid friendly. You just push down and slide the wire in. So there is no actual need for trying to connect. I was able to alter this set up quite a bit. I honestly needed just the body and motors. So if you are looking to customize it you can do that with a little work. It is a fantastic price for everything you get. And it does work exactly as described.

Controller board gave the vague "malfuction" code. A spoiler is a bit of a pain. Fun little kit, shame it didn't work. My 11 year old had fun putting it together but it not working really rained on his parade
