Toys and Games Reviews of My First RC Car (Colors May Vary)
Customer Review: Didn't work out of the box, but a fine adjustment fixed it.
Summary: 2 Stars
A friend gave my son this car for his first birthday. It never worked properly out of the box. The controller would sometimes work and sometimes not, a couple shakes would either cause it to work or not. I didn't care because my son didn't quite understand the toy so it sat for a year and a bit without use. Just yesterday he picked it up again (he's now two and a bit) wanting to play with it. I could sometimes get it to work and he LOVED it! The only frustration was that controller!!! So I promised to him that mommy would fix it. I'm a mechanical engineer and figured I could trouble shoot it.
Turns out there might be two issues. One was that there is a small pice of metal that makes the "button" connection, it was a little loose. I tightened it and bent it so that it would surely work. Also my remote had a rattle when I shook it, something plastic inside was broken. I realized it was the part that held the battery tight to the power connectors (you can see this by just opening up the battery section). I bent the battery connectors a little so that they made a better connection. Now it works every time. I hope this helps for those who had isses with the remote.
I agree with others it is loud! - right now for my two year old that's part of the "fun" but it really annoys us parents.
Also I don't like that it won't turn off after a certain time of inactivity. When my son's short attention span runs out its left to make a loud sound and drains the battery.
Overall a poorly designed toy. I gave my review 2 stars because we had a lot of fun last night playing with it and after the repair, I hope it will continue to be fun.
