Nice RC car for kids 4-10. Does great driving over objects and has lots of power but that comes at a cost since batteries go fast. Keep healthy stock of AA batteries on hand

The Project Mc2 H2O RC Car is well-built, sturdy, and attractive.  It is easy to assemble, although it does require a lot of batteries to operate.  I recommend using rechargeable batteries and putting them on the charger at night when the kids are asleep.  The steam is a neat touch that makes the car seem really realistic.  My kids love using the remote control to drive the car all around the house and even rigged up some jumps for it.  Luckily it is durable and has stood up to being dropped and being driven off the edge of the jumps.  The remote control functions well and is easy for the children to operate.  Barbie and Barbie-like dolls fit well into the car (2 dolls) but unfortunately Ken and Ken-like dolls don't really fit all the way into the car.  My older daughters have taken to shoving Ken in as far as he will go and having Barbie drive him around even though he isn't properly seated.  My baby even likes playing with the car although she just pushes it across the floor and doesnt seem to care about using the radio control.  The seat belts are a good feature (safety first!) but they are a bit hard to snap into place  especially for small child fingers.  I would definitely buy the Project Mc2 H2O RC Car and I would absolutely recommend it to others.  Although the look of the Project Mc2 H2O RC Car geared a bit more towards girls, boys like it too.  My daughters had a friend that is a boy come over to play and he really liked driving the car around the house  although he did prefer to drive it without any dolls.  The fact that the dolls we already have fit into the car is a real plus.  The Project Mc2 H2O RC Car is attractive, sturdy, my children have enjoyed playing with it and will continue to play with it for a long time.

my 5 years-old nephew and my 7 years-old niece loved it.
Excellent R/C cars, work well, good range for price point, work great on carpets. Very easy to drive it. The car's durability has been good.

It is good. My twin 5 year old girls (granddaughters) love them. A good start in the area of RC cars and trucks.
A smart buy on my part.

The Electrix line of RC cars by Horizon is meant for people who are new to "hobby level" RC cars (Horizon's Losi brand covers the mid and upper level offroad markets).  Hobby level cars are several steps beyond the disposable $30-$70 RC toys that you'll find at most big box stores.  Hobby level cars can be fragile, require some regular maintenance, and have replaceable or upgradeable parts.  Compared to most other lines of "entry level" cars, Electrix's vehicles are on the slow side and understeer a little, which makes them a poor fit for someone who is a more experienced driver, but a perfect fit for someone who is just getting started.

The cars are relatively inexpensive and simply designed, but not cheaply made.  Though not indestructible, they are, out of the box, among the most durable RC cars at any scale, I have ever driven.  Additionally, the Electrix line already has many upgrade parts available which can make these cars reasonably competitive if the driver's skill improves to the point that they're ready to race and they want to make the most of their investment.

In short, these are perfect first cars for anyone who is just starting in RC racing.  The durability of the cars also makes them ideal candidates for loaner cars when friends or kids want to drive.  Though, if durability and bashability is primary reason for getting a car, the Ruckus monster truck (also by Electrix) might be a better bet.  Whereas the Boost Buggy and Circuit Stadium Truck are durable racers, the Ruckus sacrifices all pretensions for racing in favor of being able to take abuse.  The Ruckus has more ground clearance, bigger wheels, and additional bumpers and reinforcements around the chassis.

Children will probably need an adult to help them perform some of the regular maintenance on the car to keep it running.  The on/off switch for the car and the rechargeable battery are located under the body shell, which means the body will need to be removed pretty regularly.  The body is attached with two pins that might be a little difficult for small hands to get on or off (I used the wrench that was included to hook under the pins and pull them out).  The plug for the rechargeable battery is pretty snug, and might be hard for some kids to work with.  At about 15 minutes per charge, you might also consider a second or third battery to swap in.

"Assembly" of the car involved charging the battery, mounting the battery into the car with wing nuts, connecting the battery's plug to the car, installing the antenna on the car (running a wire through the antenna tube and then pressing the antenna tube into a hole in the chassis), attaching the body and wing to the chassis (four pins, total), screwing the antenna into the controller, and putting eight AA batteries in the controller.  At that point it was ready to run.

Though people who race 1/10 scale cars already know this, 1/10 scale cars are pretty large (the Boost is about 16" long) and pretty fast, which makes them poor rug-racers in most homes.  They're best in the driveway, on a track, or open space.  There is a growing market of 1/24 and 1/32 racers that work great inside (1/32 will fit in the palm of your hand), but the trade off is that they're often not protected from the dust and dirt that will inevitably get into them when they're outside.

This is one fun and durable RC car!  Well worth the money!  My 10 year old regards this car as his favorite "ride"!

The car stopped going FWD after 10 minutes of use.  The LED lights are cool and kids love it but what good is an RC car that can only go backwards and flip?

In anticipation of my two grandsons visiting I bought two of these cars. It was a little pricey to get two. But I could see that the two boys, 5 and 7, wouldn't be into the sharing thing and would really like to race each other. Since I have a gravel driveway I was really attracted to the large pneumatic tires that come on this car.  I have to report that it was all a big success and the two guys had a ball driving these cars up and down the driveway. It wasn't hard at all to do the final assembly on the cars and everything fit together well. I was pleased with the quality of the pieces and how it was designed.  After 10 days of pretty hard use the only problem I had was the chain coming off one of the cars and having to take apart the center cowling to get at the mechanism. But once apart, it wasn't too hard to slip the chain back on and tighten it up some.  The only problem the boys had was going up hill. The mechanism is pretty simple and doeesn't have gears. The cars work pretty well on the flat and small hills aren't a problem. There was one place on my driveway they needed pushing.  Good job Kettler!

I got this for my 2 year old as she has never had a remote control car in the past. At first, she was a little scared of it but after a day or so she really enjoyed playing with this car. There are two buttons on the remove, one for going forward and one for backwards. It takes a little time getting used to the controls because if you just put it in reverse, it will just go backwards in circles.  You pretty much have to go back a little and then back and forward until it's going where you would like it to. The car itself makes noises and the little police officer comes out of the car.  My kid even dropped the car a few times and it was fine.  This is a great price for a cute little starter car for my toddler. I think it says it is for a kid a little older but my 2 year old daughter loved it but it did take a few days for her to get the hang of the controls as the car moves pretty fast. The only con I found it that the car makes a bit of noise that can get annoying but I just ignore it best I can because my kid loves this and it is good for indoor or outdoor.

I am not a RC enthusiast, but this little car is loads of short lived, short distance fun.  Thank you.

There are cheaper and faster Mini RCs out there.

Battery does not last long enough, only about 4 to 5 minutes, after that you have to recharge it again.

Nice car design but the controller destroys the joy of RC.

This toy's design has a lot of kid appeal. It looks like a TRON light cycle -- my son was just recently watching the new TRON cartoon on Disney XD -- or maybe the Batman cycle. My son definitely liked the look of it.

In play, however, he got a little frustrated. It's not the easiest RC to control! The two narrow wheels don't handle off-road -- or even on-carpet -- very well, so we were more or less restricted to sending it up and down the driveway. And turning it was difficult sometimes. It has a wide turn radius ... or at least, it needs one of you don't want to spin out or tumble over or hit a wall.

In the right play environment, this would probably be more fun. In our small yard and driveway, however, it's going to see only limited use. My son quickly got out his 4-wheel RC tumbler car and was zooming along the grass.

Nice entry level RC truck.  Bought it for my 6 year old.  After an hour of practice he has it down.  It is very fast and don't get in its way (hurts like a sonuva).  It will take some good hits and keep going.  Battery life is about 15-20 mins (especially running in grass).

This is a fun little Rc car. It's sturdy and can hold up to few head on collisions at speed. After few high speed head on collisions with street curbs it's still in one piece and nothing is broken yet, although there is some strange clicking noise coming the back wheels. The only downside is that the battery last only about 10 minutes of continuous use. You might have to buy multiple batteries to keep the fun going. Overall this was a good buy and has me hooked. Maybe my next buy will be a more traxxis truck.

Great RC car that looks perfect. My four-year-old son loves his car and it looks exactly like my 2008 Toyota Camry. We were so happy to get it and it drives great. Terrific product and we are very happy!

I play with this more than my sister. This is cutest remote control car, and it's simply made for a three year old. It takes 3 AA batteries and it's good to go. The toy racer in the seat can be taken out and lights turn on and off along with sound and music.
