Small RC Stunt Car with Remote Control Watch Gesture Sensor Electric Toy RC Drift Car 2.4GHz 4WD Rotation Gift for Kids Boys Birthday

I was expecting a fairly basic and flimsy feeling product but straight out of the box, the weight and quality of both items feel very good. The design and detailing of all parts looks striking and well done.

The setup of the car and the two different controllers (a standard joypad style and also the very cool gesture gravity wristband) is simple and the instructions are easy to follow. The car comes with two rechargeable batteries, the standard controller takes 2 x AA (not included) and the wristband takes the larger watch battery (included).

Now, actually playing the the car wasn’t quite so straight forward – for me, anyway. I’m very out of date and somewhat of a technophobe so it was a bit of a culture shock to be faced with so many different possibilities and functions to control the car. I’m sure most people would be able to master the controls much faster than I did!

Overall, I’m super impressed with this bit of kit! It is very versatile and surprisingly quick, as well as nimble but feels robust enough to really take some punishment.

This is an easy to control RC toy – very much at home doing stunts to music in the garden or the street. It certainly proved popular, for a while, with my grandsons.

It is bright and colourful and constructed of durable plastic and rubber to ensure survivability. It has two rechargeable batteries and a joypad-style remote control as well as a less traditional wrist device allowing the car to be intuitively controlled by the movements of a hand. You have to chose which of these control devices you want to use before you power up the car.

Certainly this proved popular – but like most of these things you may need one for each child so they can race them or try crashing them into each other. Thankfully the price is modest, so this is perfectly possible. The cars are quite stong and robust – but I wasn’t able to test their durability in this kind of situation!
