1:16 Remote Control Car, 2.4 GHz All Terrain Remote Control Monster Truck, RC Truck 2 Rechargeable Batteries for 80 Mins Play, Spray Remote Control Car for Boys 8-12 and Girls or Adult, MK724A

bought for my 4 year old for christmas, and where admittedly the ability to play music was/is SUPER annoying (use scotch tape to cover the speaker, fellow parents), it is by far the coolest RC car i've ever encountered. the "rocket afterburner" feature made my inner child instantly jealous, and my outer adult part actually thought "you know, you could put some lavender or peppermint oil in with that and they could just tear it up around the house, leaving pleasant smells in their wake". basically, there's a tank you can fill with water, and it basically acts as an essential oil diffuser to shoot the water vapors out of the back through a lighted plastic "afterburner" nozzle and it gives the appearance of a jet engine flame tail out of the back. the different lighting modes were really cool, and where i've typically HATED the little proprietary rechargeable battery packs in RC cars, this one actually comes with two, and by the time one's drained, the other is typically pretty close to, if not fully topped off and ready to go. it's pretty much the ONE RC car that my 4 year old actually keeps track of the controller for, and takes care of. if you get this, and you OR your kid likes RC cars or monster trucks, it's going to put a smile on SOMEONE'S face. would make for an excellent holiday gift, as well as a quick, generic gift for literally any boy recipient you don't know enough about to know where to start (example- your elementary school student has been invited to one of his classmate's birthday party that you know absolutely nothing about but your kid really wants to go). 4-5 and up would be the age group i would confidently say would enjoy this toy and be able to handle the controls, 5 being the safer bet, but honestly until he had enough of a handle on getting it to turn, my 4 year old got MORE than enough enjoyment out of just turning on the smoke and making it rocket forward, then he would run over, pick it up to aim it in another direction and send it flying again, so that's probably more of a personal judgement there i guess.

Bought three of these for my grandsons, 7 & 9. They love them. They are fast and easy to use. Very durable.

This is a great little car for a kid's first monster truck. Controls are good, music is good, "boost mist" is a fun touch. This drives over pavement, sand, gravel, thick mulch, and up to 4" grass without issues. It has endured three overhead throws, a half dozen toddler kicks to the face and one baby belly-slam. It retains driving 'power' the majority of the charge (instead of getting weak halfway like some others). It's fast enough to do what it promises, but even full speed collisions into little kid legs do nothing to phase them (safe). The 2 batteries last as long as the kids do. Would buy again, but doesn't seem like I will even need to.-edit- It lasted about 9 months before the repeated throws and kicks and crashes did it in and snapped an axle. Will probably get a new one.

Son and grandson love it, I love it. Very entertaining, so many modes to play and race it. Music, lights and then the smoke effect.Would have been 5 stars but.... the battery life is for lack of a better word "sucks". It last for maybe an hour and it's not the easiest battery to change out.Other than that happy with purchase.

The media could not be loaded. Grandson loves it, which was very important in the decision to purchase. Worked great right out of the box! Very pleased that he loved it and that it works as advertised!

Got this for a Christmas gift, shame on me for buying early because the return window was only 30 days. Literally less than 4 days of use and it is now ready for the dumpster. One hit against something and something came lose rendering it dead. My husband pulled it apart and was able to get the lights working again but not the drivability. Save your money. The monster jam ones are a lot more durable.

I purchased this toy for my boys . 6 & 10 years old . 6years loved it , it is so surprised my older son love it so much too . I really Can't believe the car survived pretty well . In our experience, it moves great on flooring, sidewalk and carpet also soft lawn . It manuevers well (forward, reverse, spins and flips). The tires are made of a soft rubber, so it gets great traction.Also , this product is pretty cool , when you add water , it has steam coming out , kids go so crazy on it . monster design is pretty cool too .Reasonable price , definitely will get other one for my older boy . It is great idea for holiday or birthday gifts .

The knob on the remote control broke off within a week and is no longer useable. In addition when we got it the battery holder on the car would not open because it seemed the screw was stripped. We had to use a box cutter to cut off the part that was attached to the screw. It was also difficult to get reusable battery in and out. All that said, my son loved it for the week it worked. The lights, sounds, and steam were really fun for him. I just wish it would have been built better. We had another remote control Monster Trucj that broke within about 3 days. Very disappointing.
