Is this car good for teenagers

I think they would quickly tire of it. I gave it to my 4 year old grandson. He liked it, but the car performed erratically. At times once it was past six feet or so it would not respond to commands. I checked all the contacts and they seemed in order. It got rather boring.

It took a little practice for my 10-yr old to fluently drive this car b/c it is really fast and turns on a dime. There is a slower setting that you can set while you learn to drive. I think an 8-yr old could get the hang of it after a short time, and would be the envy of neighborhood kids. The good part is that it's also a durable car, and the parts can be replaced inexpensively.

Yes, I think it would be good for a 15 yr.old. The problems start with fairly easy solutions and become more difficult. I suspect a young mind might work better on this than my old one.

This is an ENTRY LEVEL RC car. It is fine for a young person who is just learning. It is great fun, as it is truly amphibious. I bought one for my 5 yr. old. nephew and he loves it. Invest in rechargeable batteries, because they drain quickly. Also the "lights" DO NOT WORK. The description says they do, but they are not real lights.

I have purchased this car for children between the ages of 2-5 yrs. I am not sure why this one says 2 yrs. as opposed to 3 yrs. However, having purchased this exact one and several others I can tell you that it is the same size as one listing for use by 3 yrs and up. They support upwards of 200 lbs. This type of car is a big hit and I do recommend purchasing it. A 2 yr. old should be able to handle maneuvering the car. Like with anything he / she will get better with practice and experience. There are other brands but I can only attest to the quality of the plasma brand being that I own several and have yet to have a problem with any of them.

Definitely! These cars are so much fun - I think they're made for outdoor use and are very tough, but can be used indoors or out.

I would say it's a little juvenile for a 10 year old. Its a very very basic remote control car.

I think so. The reason it's a "pro" is that it's a more solidly made scooter, more capable of taking the punishment of tricks, etc. The handle bars do not fold down, so you lose that ease of throwing it in the back of your car, etc. Otherwise it would be great, just maybe a little too much scooter for their age?

Hi I bought this for my mom after dad passed away last year. She has not needed to use it yet, but I heard from a few other reviews and one auto store that it was nice model.

Only if your teenager is under 100 pounds (that is the weight limit.) And they would have to be very short too. There is an adult version of these things. They are made by Prime Karts.

Yes. I purchased one for each of my granddaughters and they were both able to enjoy the car at 8 months.

Probably not exciting enough. Most 8 year olds would be happier with a remote control car.

I would use a 20 pound thrust or better electric motor or one of the new Lehr 2.5HP Propane powered engines. You don't want the 13 year old having to fight with a balky gas engine, my 3.3HP Merc is fussy. An electric motor is nicer for youth, but for longer range the propane engine is the way to go. No fuel problems, always starts first try, etc.

this is a nitro rc car. not an electric. in my opinion this is a great buy. i bought 2 o themfitted with all the telemetry sensors and ipod dock. this car does 65mph +. trust me its a great car. it has a transmission and it pops wheelies easily, hint the wheelie bar.

It is good for several ages. To begin it is fun to stack and knock over, advance to learning numbers and colors, getting right car into correct garage, etc. Fun at any age

Yes it is. I bought it for my 16-year-old grandson, and it has lived up to its claims.

Yes. I got it for my 13 year old son and it has worked perfectly with no problems.
