Good

The media could not be loaded. I got this for my sons birthday. He wanted RC cars and the reviews for this one were spot on. My husband even keeps wanting to play with it. It's seriously cool!

FUN FACTOR (4.5/5). This is lots of fun to play with! The drift and spin features are cool. It's quick for a casual RC car. The engine sounds are great, the lights and spray features give it a nice touch. And it just looks cool! If you test out the demo feature, make sure you have plenty of room.SOUND (3/5). First off, this is pretty loud - the sound of the wheels running is about as loud as your typical RC car, but the hard plastic wheels, especially on a hardwood floor, makes this louder than normal. The car engine noises get drowned out a bit by the scraping tires. The "volume control" just turns them on or off.LIGHTS (5/5). The lights are attractive and bright. The LEDs give it a classier, cooler look than traditional lights. Plus, with the symmetrical look to the car, having white lights on the front and red lights in the back really helps to quickly identify which way the car is pointed! On top of that, the red brake lights give off a cool effect when the spray is on.SPRAY (3/5). In general, the spray feature is a pretty cool idea, and definitely gives the car and upgrade over others. The problem is you can't really see it. It gives off a light mist or very thin fog. Based on the descriptions, I was expecting a thicker fog, more like dry-ice. In reality, it looks more like steam. The squeeze bottle was helpful for filling, and the reservoir in the truck is very easy to fill. It took about a full bottle's worth of water.BATTERIES (3/5). You get 3 sets - two AA for the handheld remote, two AAA for the wrist-gesture remote, and 1 RC battery for the car itself. I hate that all the new rechargeable toys don't come with a way to charge them! You do get a specialized charging cable for the car's battery, but you need to find your own charger plug. I appreciate that they included batteries for the remotes, though - that was a thoughtful addition. I'll revise my rating on this later depending on how well the batteries hold a charge.HANDHELD REMOTE (4/5). Comfortable and (mostly) easy to figure out. It takes a little getting used to the fact that you have one pair of buttons for forward/reverse, a second pair for left/right turns, a third pair for left/right drift, and a 4-way pad for diagonal drifting. Also, the labels are offset from the buttons they indicate, so it's not easy to identify quickly. It can get to be a bit much and confusing, so it'll take a while to get comfortable moving the car where I want it to go. Right now, I spend a lot of time running into things and going in circles. (A recommendation to the manufacturer: I would rotate the 4-way drift buttons 45-degrees. It would make them much more intuitive.)WRIST REMOTE (3/5). This responds well (almost too well). It takes a little finessing to find the right balance of enough tilt to move the car, but not too much that it goes flying off into a wall or something. You end up doing a lot of over-correcting. I really don't like that you have to long-press the light button to switch between turning and drifting. Too much work and too much time to be able to make quick adjustments. I do appreciate the pause button, though. Very helpful for keeping the car from taking off when you move your hand to pick it up! The novelty is great fun, but I'll probably stick to the handheld.INSTRUCTIONS (4/5). The instructions aren't the clearest - there's a lot of information at once, and it's jumbled together and inconsistent in places. That said, the information is all there. So with enough patience, it should tell you everything you need to know.

The media could not be loaded. My son is 13 and it’s hard to find things that may interest them. This was a great choice of gift. If I had a future car it would definitely look like this.

This RC car is great! We are so impressed with the capabilities, features and quality. It drives very fast and can easily drive over thick carpets. It can drift and do a crab walk, which is very cool. Moreover, it also has front and back lights and illuminated wheels. The cherry on top of the cake is it's fog capability, which looks amazing. It uses plain water for fog generation. I assume it uses some kind of ultrasound mist generator similar to the one used in ultrasound humidifiers. So in winter you can humidity your space and have fun at the same time. In humid climates it could be a drawback, though. It is also very sturdy in contrast to many RC cars in the same price range. With that being said I am very surprised by the price. It could easily cost two or even three times more and be still worth the price. I highly recommend it. Buy it while you can.

Great at first then after the first time the battery charged, it no longer will turn on. Followed the instructions to charge the battery but the car does not turn on at all.
