CROBOLL 1:12 Large RC Cars for Boys with Upgraded Lifting Function, 2.4GHz 4WD Remote Control Car Toy Gifts 20km/h Monster Truck for Kids, All Terrain RC Truck for 60Min Play(Green)

A couple of years ago my kid got a remote-controlled truck from a family member for a birthday. It was fun to play with for 10 minutes (which was apparently its battery life), but left us both underwhelmed. It was smaller than we had expected and lacked the get-up-and-go that one would find adequately satisfying. It ended up in a closet never to be charged again. On a recent whim fueled by nostalgia, my kid wanted to play with it to give it another chance. That's when we discovered the remote was lost to the annals of time.I decided to purchase another RC vehicle. This time getting to choose it myself. I came across this listing. The price was right and seemed fair. Not too egregious if our new purchase failed to hold our attention like the other, yet priced to indicate that perhaps the product wouldn't be straight-up landfill either. I was also enamored by how its appearance is reminiscent of the monster trucks I coveted in my childhood. Other features noted on the listing that drove (pun intended) my purchasing decision were the size ("Large," 1:12 scale) as I wanted something bigger than our previous model, it had 4WD (the other only had 2WD), and seemed more rugged with beefy looking shock absorbers and chunky tires. I ordered a blue one and eagerly awaited its arrival.Once delivered, it was indeed larger than our last one, nearly twice the size, and was good-to-go right out of the box. We tested it the same day. I told my kiddo to test it hard, and the truck stood up to the challenge.Things to note: this thing is fast and extremely responsive to the slightest manipulation of controls. We had to really crank the wheel for the last car to turn, but this one only requires small hand movements. The range is excellent. I live at the top of a steep hill on a culdesac, and we had no problem driving the truck 400 ft to the bottom of the hill and back. We even, irresponsibly, drove the truck without visibility down a side street and back. It made it despite obstructions. We slammed it into curbs until it rolled over and then kept slamming until it righted itself due to its oversized tires. Even with all the slamming, the vehicle showed no signs of damage. What I expected to be a 10 minute bonding session with my kid turned into an hour as a result of the incredible battery life.If you've been disappointed by RC cars in the past, I suggest giving this one a try. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. For future drives, I think I might strap a camera (my phone in a rugged case) to it to record video. I bet that would be neat. Definitely a fun product! Recommended!

As of right now after the second time the RC car was turned on I give a zero star for durability. The car moved about 6 inches and the front wheel snapped and fell off.Requested a replacement. We will see how long the replacement lasts.Has the potential for a great product though.UPDATE!!!!I was sent a replacement immediately and it arrived defective. Before I had the chance to return either cars I received an email from Sylvia checking on the product because of the review. We had a nice conversation and she replaced both of the defective cars with a totally different type of car, upgraded and much better quality so far.Thanks to Sylvia and her amazing customer service the over all review is a 5 star and they have gained a repeat customer.

Super hit all day at family Xmas gathering!!

I bought this as a gift for a seven-year-old, and while it looked huge in the picture, it turned out to be smaller than I expected. The photo is a bit deceiving, but overall, it as alright. The kid I gifted it to was happy with it, though I think I’ve seen it for a cheaper price elsewhere. I’m not an expert in RC trucks, so I’m just going by how it looks. I might have been a little disappointed because I was expecting something bigger based on the picture.

Bought this for my son’s birthday. First time driving, the truck rolled and headlight instantly snapped off. Not a hard roll at all. Luckily I purchased the warranty. Was able to get refunded what I purchased it for. The truck did still work a moment. Two days later, the remote control stopped working. Attempted to fix but to no avail. Bought the vehicle for a second time thinking maybe the first one was faulty. Go to run the new truck for the first time and the headlights just flicker and will not turn. Watched several videos on YouTube and none of the troubleshooting videos worked. Very disappointed and dissatisfied. Now my son is out his birthday gift due to a low quality product.

It's a great product.

Bought for grandsons for Christmas. They had a blast with them. They seem very durable. They are very fast. I don't know if they go any slower because they thought it was pretty funny to run them into the wall to see if they would flip over. Their mom wasn't happy about that. I did charge the batteries in each one and they do need 2AA batteries for the remote.

My grandson loved it, for 4 months, until it stopped functioning. Now we are trying to get warranty coverage and getting a huge run around. I purchased Asurion extended warranty, but they claim factory warranty is one year so they won't cover it until factory warranty expires. Factory claims warranty is only 60 days, so they won't cover because it's 4 months. Still going back and forth on this time consuming mess, hoping someone will make it right. Will update my review if/when that happens.UPDATE: After 2 hours invested over several days, I will apparently get an Amazon credit, and we are required to box and return ship the car, they will pay for shipping. I will not be buying these type of gifts again.
