Rating : - Good learning experience
This product was a lot of fun to put together. That's the point: to put together. Once it is put together it's not much fun. It's slow and doesn't drive straight. There is a steering adjustment, but it doesn't help much. No matter what it veers off to the right. Also, it runs on 4 AA batteries that completely drain after 30 minutes.

One problem that I had is that it is very picky with batteries. It ran with 4 cheap off-brand TV remote control alkaline batteries, but with 4 brand new Duracell alkalines, it wouldn't even run. I thought maybe the batteries were defective, but they were able to run in another electronic device just fine. Also, you can't use rechargeable batteries in the car because you need the proper 1.5v per battery to correctly operate the RF receiver (6v) whereas rechargeable NiMh batteries only output 1.2v each or 4.8v total.

Also, I had to break out the soldering iron to connect the wires. This kit wants you to wrap the wires around each other and stuff them inside non-shrink tubing. That doesn't work very well. Best bet is to solder them.

All in all, it was a decent fun evening putting the car together. It won't last long and it is SMALL. I wouldn't buy it again.
