Do you need batteries?

One answer below is incorrect. We just got it, and it requires 6 AAA batteries (total). 3 in the controller and 3 in the set of wheels.

Yes. Both the RC Controller and the remote control car take AA batteries. I believe the remote takes 3 and the car takes 2. It's been awhile since I put the batteries in it and it's wrapped up for a gift, so I can't double check it. LOL!!

Yes. The remote takes 3 AAA and only one set of wheels is motorized and it takes 3 AAA as well.

no batteries needed, it plugs into the USB port on your computer. You can buy a power supply for use elsewhere.

Yes, you can. However, I'm not currently using a battery. The best batteries cost around $500.00, almost the same as the unit itself.

Yes, they all have batteries, they are throw away units, no point in buying batteries. I have not been able to use up any of the batteries yet, they are bright.

This charges your batteries so yes you need batteries. It is not ment to run all your lights and stuff with out at least one battery.

It doesn't need batteries. Mine too inexplicably stopped working after a short while. I had to return it.

Yes, it requires batteries, but don't buy this product. I did, but the build quality is horrible. It broke after six months. I saved up some money and brought a Fluke instead, which has been rock solid.
