This little RC car does everything it claims to, even spins in space without a hitch. The instructions say not to use it in direct sunlight, but I tested this car in a parking lot with hot sun beaming down and it still operated smoothly. The receiver reaches pretty far too. The battery life is long (or at least long I used it, about half an hour at a time, non-stop). My only complaint is battery cover, you have to screw it on or it drops, but that's a minor setback. Every time this car crashed, I corrected its position on the top or bottom and it was back in business. The speed is about that of normal walking, so it's not a zoomer, but that ensures the car won't break in collisions. I highly recommend this RC goody for adults or children, especially at the low price.
