1/24 4WD Short Course Truck RTR

This is a great little truck. The 4wd is probably not necessary but is great in preventing getting stuck. My 4 year old is able to drive with little supervision.

Pros:
Small Enough for in House.
Pretty fast
Very durable.
Replacement and hop up parts available.
15 minutes of drive time on fully charged battery.
Battery is replaced on the bottom of the car, so requires no time or tools to switch a battery out.
Controller has adjustments to set the alignment, which is a necessity.

Cons:
Gear in the rear Axle was knocked loose... easy to fix if you can figure out how to take apart and put back together. The car may have been dropped, could not get a straight answer from the 4 or 7 year old.
Turn Radius is not great... Probably due to 4wd. While driving you can pop from forward to reverse to forward and kick out the back to shorten the turn ratio on slick floors.
RC Controllers Metal expandable antenna looks fragile and the range seems to be about 30 feet.

Suggestions:
Buy spare battery(ies) or Lipo battery and Charger. Charge time is over an hour so it means playtime is over for a while if the Battery is dead.
Buy a few spare clevis pins if you ever take off the top... they are tiny and are lost easily... I am currently running with 3 out of 4.
Hair and fuzz get stuck on all 4 axles. Especially for drivers going under furniture. Have tweezers ready for some maintenance and take of the wheels with included tools to really clean out.
If you buy multiple cars make sure the Crystals are different so they can be driven at the same time. There will be a silver sticker on the box and controller with a number (like 1, 2, or 3). Buy cars with different numbers or you will have to replace the Crystal at about $10 per crystal plus time involved.
