DEERC Remote Control Car,Transform Police Toy Cars,1:18 Scale Deformation RC Robot Vehicle with One Button Transforming,360 Degree Drifting,LED Lights,Great Toys Gift for Kids Boys & Girls

Was fun until it wasn't... Very cheaply made. Lasted a whole day. Update, seller issued a replacement hence change my review. Seems okay so far will update if anything goes wrong.

This remote control car arrived well packed in a strong box with a polystyrene foam insert and comprises the following parts (see photo) :-The carTransmitterCharging lead (for car)AA rechargeable batteries (x3) for the carA small screwdriver (for opening battery covers)Spare battery cover screws (x2)InstructionsBattery caution noticeThe transmitter requires a pair of AA batteries (not supplied) to be fitted. It does not have an on/off switch as pressing any of the transmitter buttons automatically turn on the transmitter when pressed and off when released.The car batteries (which came pre-charged) can be fitted once the battery cover is removed.The transmitter has 2 joysticks (Forward/Reverse) and (Left/Right) and 2 buttons (Transform) and (Demonstration).The car is fitted with a small slide on/off switch at the back together with the charging socket. The charger lead plugs into any USB charger plug, when the car is charging an LED light on the car glows and extinguishes when fully charged. When the car is switched on it has a flashing blue/red light on the roof.Operating the car is very simple however only one function can be selected at a time, i.e forward, reverse, turn left, turn right, transform into a robot/transform back to a car and by pressing the demonstration button the car runs through a complete sequence which is quite amusing.The car performed well but is really only suitable for use on a fairly smooth surfaces indoors e.g wooden or tiled floors as the steering is performed by the rear wheels operating in opposite directions together with a small 5th wheel which can spin through 360 degree located behind the front wheels.Overall I was quite impressed with this toy which states on the packaging that it is suitable for users aged 6 and above and not safe for users under the age of 6 to use unsupervised.The car is quite good value for money and I am sure children will have a great deal of fun playing with it.

Sound on this police car is good. My 3 year old boy was playing with it for 10 minutes and then the car would not transform anymore. We was using only remote control to operate it and it just won’t go back to car anymore and not turn into transformer nether

Arrived extremely well packaged in a robust cardboard box and polystyrene moulded inner sleeve. Assembly was just a case of inserting the three supplied rechargeable batteries into the car and screwing the cover down. There is no need to worry about fiddling about every time it runs out of power as they are recharged in situ with its own USB charging adaptor lead. You need to provide two AA batteries yourself for the controller.Charging from flat takes about 2 hours. Full charge is indicated on the car by a red LED. Once charged you get a full 45 minutes play time as stated in the user manual. The range of the transmitter is about 25m.The controls are so easy I didn’t even need to read the manual.The car, 22cm x 9cm looks like a hot high speed police chase car complete with blue/red cop lights on the roof – really looks the part ! ! (no sound FX though). At a touch of a button it transforms into a robo-cop personality 15cm x 16cm standing 19cm tall.Controls are limited with one lever controlling forward and reverse, and another doing left and right. Steering takes priority over travel and allows it to spin on the spot. The last control button puts it in demo mode where it randomly goes through all its manoeuvres until it either runs down or you press any control.Although it feels a bit flimsy due to slack tolerance joints, I think it is probably sturdier than it feels.It is I would say just an indoor car. Ground clearance is very low and it just about copes with a short carpet. It is however very agile on a smooth hard floor.We had hours of fun with it whizzing it around the house.

The car arrived quickly as you would expect from Amazon and the quality that DEERC are known for. The package includes the car, remote control, rechargeable batteries, charging cable, screwdriver (for the battery cover) and a manual. 2 x AA batteries are required for the remote control, and these are not supplied. Apart from installing the batteries there was no other assembly required. Mine came with the batteries fully charged so you can be up and running very quickly.I bought the car as a present for my Great Nephew who is 8 and into robots so it seemed to be a good choice. The car did not disappoint, and he seemed happy, particularly that, at a press of a button, it would transform into a robot that could then be driven around. The police car lights are nice but no sirens. Although he seemed happy with the steering, I felt it was very linear in that you could either turn or move, trying to do both would send the car spinning on the spot. The run time seemed good at around 40 minutes and recharging was quick, probably taking about 2 hours.The car is sold as a toy ideal for kids 6 years plus and for perhaps a first foray into RC cars fits the bill perfectly and is something that is fun, simple to use and not too expensive.All in all, a great car that my Great Nephew really enjoyed that works great on most surfaces.
