Customers like the climbing ability of the toy vehicle. They mention that it does well climbing over things, including toys, pillows, and blankets. It can also climb over pretty big rocks and other obstacles. It's fairly fast and can climb reasonably well. It takes a bit of practice. It will roll over curbs and climb very steep walls. It crawls fairly well on a new battery but it does drain rather fast.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the non riding toy vehicle.

Customers have negative opinions about the turning of the toy vehicle. They mention that the turning radius is horrible, the turning ratio isn't the greatest, and the tires need to be fixed properly.

"...I do not recommend using alkaline batteries in this.The truck doesnt turn very sharply, but that is to be expected...." Read more

"...Also, very very very large turning radius.We would buy this one again as a good first RC truck...." Read more

"...The turning radius is larger than I prefer but it works well enough...." Read more

Works OK but antenna tubes missing.
4 Stars
Works OK but antenna tubes missing.
Bought two for my younger grandsons as Xmas presents and the warm weather here in the East gave us a chance to try them out on the farm. They work well as long as they are in range (about 40 feet outside). They have no throttle control (either full on or off) and steering is very quick. My only gripe is that the "antenna tubes", intended to keep the flexible antenna worse upright, were missing from both frustration free " boxes even though they are listed as being included in the instructions and their installation is illustrated in Diagrams 3 and 4. I just ordered one for myself so I can challenge the kids to beat me to the top of my stone pile. I'll wait and if mine arrives without antenna tubes I'll contact the manufacturer's customer service department and ask for 6 antenna tubes. If I get them I'll need only 4. I'll try torpor on the quality of Maisto's customer service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Young Boy

THE GOOD: Seems to take the bumps well and climbs over small hills with ease. My lawn is cut short and it rides over grass and leaves well. This model takes six AA batteries in the car. I bought Energizer rechargeable batteries and my 5 year old plays with it about an hour at a time without running out of a charge (HUGE improvement over the other R/C trucks that last only 15 minutes before needing to be plugged in for 3 hours). This truck just goes and goes.
THE GOOD/BAD (depending on your view): The remote control is small. Perfect for my large 5 year old (and I can operate it easily too and I'm 6'3"), but it's on the smaller side if that is a concern to you. It goes at a fast walk, which again was perfect for my 5 year old. If you want faster be prepared to spend a LOT more. It goes fast enough to keep him interested and entertained.
OVERALL: Huge hit for my kid. Has held up well, and the rechargeable batteries while expensive at first, are working very well and allowing him to play much longer than with the traditional R/C Truck. It is not waterproof, but I did let him take it out in the 1" snow and play with it. I did bring it in the house afterwards and put near a heating vent to dry. Ran great the next time out. Great toy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Trucks for the Money

We have two of these, bought for the kids for Christmas. One came with a DOA remote and Amazon hotswapped it with no issue.
My 12 year old and husband have fancy, custom built RC stuff. So we are hesitant to ever buy cheap little RC things. But the 4 and 8 yr old kids wanted rock crawlers even though we doubted they'd maintain interest. So we didn't want to spend a bundle.

These have been an unexpected joy. We got a different brand for the 4 yr old first and when we test drove it prior to Christmas, it was junk. This one, however, will climb laundry piles inside, piles of dirt and bricks, will happily bump bump bump down the stairs, ending with a somersault and keep driving. The two little kids LOVE THEM. The dogs love chasing them, and the biggest issue we have with them is the 12 year old steals them.

I'm beyond pleased for the price with their durability and climbing ability. They're no $200+ crawler, but they are GREAT for smaller budgets or if you don't know the interest will stick.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad RC car
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2018

Not a bad RC car. I saw some people say it is pretty fast but that is not true, unless walking speed is fast to you. My son loves it. The spring shocks are pretty cool though as I watch him drive it down a stairs (not a full set) or off the deck and the thing is able to catch itself and not tip over. He is having a lot of fun crawling over dirt hills and rocks.

The downside is this does not come with a rechargeable battery pack. You have to buy 6 new AA batteries once it runs out. Kind of a crappy design flaw for an RC car. -1 star for that. The little wire cap that goes on the tip for the controller is worthless. Too big to fit. I ended up just using tape instead to hold the tube in place.

Overall, for the price and considering it actually does well climbing over things, its pretty decent and lots of fun for kids. Just make sure you stock up on AA batteries for it as well as AAA batteries for the controller.

Drains regular batteries in an hour. doesn't steer well to the left. back up, turn...backup turn more...backup turn... line out.... really fast for a crawler but its a hoot for the price. We jump it alot and chase the cat. Nice suspension, but sometimes gets stuck listing over on the left. Just gotta jack it a bit - could be because its new and springs are not broke in yet. Nice front plastic bumper. *** HOT TIP*** Cell phones clip nicely in the front to record video. Even with a case. Funny stuff...comes loose over bumbs but tape it down and rock on. Spending the cash and getting rechargeable batts. my kids love it. getting one for my daughter as well. Goes threw snow pretty good. will do a 45 deg. incline. we got the green one. nice boy paint job. tires are air filled balloon type - not solid. this also has enough nads to pull a light trailer with chopper drone lol. No working lights which sucks but I glued an led hat light onto the roof and works really nice. Make sure you shut the truck off or the batteries will drain just sitting. The trigger on the remote is already feeling wore out in reverse as its supper touchy now- after about 4 hours of use... you can blow on the trigger and it hits reverse mode.
Again..we beat this thing. our Labrador even carried it away at one point, but alot of fun for the price. Nice drive unit. stick the front tires against the wall and it will climb up and flip over. Have fun. but buy rechargeable...

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Hit with Birthday Child

The birthday boy (6) opened it yesterday. We wisely bought him two so he could share with his brothers. They love the cars. Ran them outside on a gravel road. Excellent traction and performance. Everyone thought we paid a lot more for them than we did. Love Amazon. They woke up this morning and all they wanted to do is play with cars. There are three settings for remote control to car (A, B, and C). Each remote works a different car. No problems. I think we will by a third one. The 4-yr-old brother will not let anyone use "his" car. I cannot say how long the cars will last, though they seem very sturdy thus far. And i don't know how long the batteries will last. We WILL be going to the story for more batteries just to be ready! Great summer toy. And the dads also enjoy the cars. They climb up landscaping steps and go across rough yard terrain.
