Title: Nearly impossible to drive, radio spotty
Product review: I would suggest you avoid this product. First, it is nearly impossible for a child to drive because of the counter-intuitive control. The left stick controls the left tires and the right stick the right tires. To move forward, you have to press both sticks up. To turn right, you need to pull the right stick BACKWARDS or press the left one FORWARDS or both. It's kind of like the way a tank drives. This setup is sufficiently complicated that both I and my son weren't having any fun playing with this. Straight driving is fine, but turns become completely silly wipeouts with no sense of actual control. Not fun. Second, the car seems to lose the signal randomly even with fresh batteries. It stutters as a result. This does not seem to depend on the range, it just happens right out of the box. So I have a concern about quality also. It otherwise appears to be durable and has a creative design, so it's too bad that it has such an awkward control system.
