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.

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 .

So disappointed. My 5 year old was so excited to get this- it’s all he wanted for his birthday. It worked for about 5 minutes and then quit. Charged both batteries overnight and they don’t hold a charge. He’s so sad. What a waste of money.

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!

So far this remote control has been the best one I've bought. I have 3 boys and have bought my fairshare of these and either they are hard to control. They eat the battery life too fast or they are broken within a week.This one has been the best one I have bought. I bought it for my 7 year old and he love it. It has music, smoke(water)Easy to control, the wheels help with stunting. My boys made a ramp with boxes from Christmas and this car had no problem going up and landing the ramps. We haven't taken it outside yet because it's winter but we plan on it this spring and summer! Great buy so far!
