DEERC DE70 Remote Control Truck W/Metal Shell, 60+ Mins, 2.4G, 1:22 RC Cars Crawler for Boys, Monster Trucks, Toy Vehicle Car Gift for Kids Adults Girls

For beginners great for the kids

I am planning on gifting this to my 8 yr old son. We have purchased several $20-$50 RC cars in the past and I've been disappointed with their quality and battery life. But this RC car is so much better. It's very well made and is an amazing price for the value. I wanted to test drive it before I committed to keeping it. Here are my findings...Packaging: Lightweight, good quality packaging with fun graphics. The car is encased in styrofoam. I found it awesome that I didn't have a gazillion plastic tags or rubber bands or screws to take it apart from the packaging. In a little baggy you'll find the manual, battery charger, extra screws, and a screw driver.Controller: Strong hold on the battery lid. It takes 2 AA batteries. It seems to be intended for the left hand to hold it and the right-hand turns the dial. Push it forward to reverse the car. Pull it back to move the car forward.The battery: the car comes with one in the battery compartment (which is very easy to access btw on the belly of the car), fully charged and ready to go. You just have to connect the two ends for it to supply power to the car. To release the connectors it takes two hands as there are 3 clips that need pressure. I timed the battery and it was still going strong at 20 1/2 minutes! I was super impressed! And remember, it comes with a second battery. That's some serious play time compared to others we have purchased.The Car: It measures at 11 inches long x 7 1/2 inches wide x 6 1/2 inches tall. It has really good shocks and a sturdy body. The detail inside the body of the car is so cute. I can totally see my son putting LEGO guys in it to drive around! It has 4 lights across the top that kids will find awesome! Especially in the dark!It drives and reverses well. It bumbs softly into walls and such. I had it climb over books and clothing and piles of towels. It has great power and totally can if the incline isn't too steep. If it's too steep it will just flip over and get stuck on its back. No biggie. I did notice that once it's engaged in one direction it's a little sluggish in responding to turn the other way. But for kids I actually prefer that. It doesn't go super duper fast but fast enough for beginners, for sure! My husband noted that it has front and rear motors and a tracking adjuster on the belly of the number.All in all, this is an amazing entry-level RC car. Its quality is so much better than anything I've seen or purchased from your typical large stores that carry toys. I think my son is going love this and be able to play with it much longer than other ones we've gotten in the past.

SOmething about it, can't tell if speed or control, it just doesn't feel fun...

The media could not be loaded. Awesome rc car! The ground clearance and power is great. The battery life is long (≈45 min.). It climbs over steep hills and large rocks well. It also does well in the grass. Overall, it's a good buy.

Got this for my son's birthday. He LOVES it! He and his brother drive it all the time. Only downside is thr battery cable popped out of the clip that inserts to be charged/driven and we haven't been able to get it fixed. Thankfully there's a back up, but still. That was on day 2.

Perfect for my younger son to play with his brother with

I had high hopes from this after doing lots of research. Reviews seemed to indicate this as a good reliable product. I bought it for a nephew, brought new batteries & discovered it will not sync with its remote.We got it to sync for 1-2 minutes before it lost its connection again. Getting it to sync one time, took over an hour of multiple people trying different methods.I suggest buyers look for a product that has a dedicated sync button and light indicator on both the remote & car.I was not able to return due to a short return window, having purchased the item a few weeks before Xmas , traveling then trying to return after I finished my travels. Item also was not shipped from Amazon which meant I had to ask the vendor for refund approval that ultimately resulted in no refund. For the short window of return time I did have: I was required to pay return shipping & provide my own box or drive the toy to a Whole Foods which for me is located far away.I would have preferred a partial refund without requiring the trouble of returning it & cut my losses. (I would have thrown it away).Spend a bit more on a reliable product. Something this cheap is too good to be true. I paid about $30 on sale.

The first time I tried to use it the wheel fell off and they say I can't return it .I waited a month to get it and it's broken .it's a piece of crap and Amazon said top pick i wouldn't give no stars but it wouldn't let me send this if I didn't put 1 since I wrote this review the company contacted me and sent me a new truck that works great the customer service was very nice and helpful and now I'm satisfied and would buy again
