Title: Needs more clearance
Product review: We got two different varieties of this same toy for our 5-year old twins for Christmas. They were pretty excited and went to test them out before the wrapping paper ever hit the floor. They had fun inside on the wood floor, where the cars ran very well.However, once we got bundled and went outside to test the amphibious qualities of the cars we all soon realized that, despite being amphibious, they performed very poorly on uneven ground - same for the snow and the lake shore. Basically these cars have about 1/8 inch of clearance and get stuck on anything they drive over. Although they are marketed as amphibious, it only means that they are watertight; they CANNOT handle the slightest bit of topography. After the boys tried getting them to run on snow, soil and rocks a few times they gave up and started sledding.The boys still use them, but only in the house. If you want to get a functional outdoor R/C vehicle then this is NOT the car you are looking for.
