Way better choice than a Toy’s R Us or Radio Shack piece of junk. This is built solid and is a blast to play with (and I’m a grown adult!). My 6 year old is probably a year or two too young for this right now but he has fun with it nevertheless – probably a great gift for an eight to twelve year old
Fun … in short bursts

The Megatech Megapro RCT is well built and extremely quick. My only complaint centers around the battery. The battery life is short … maybe 5 minutes of hard running, and changing the battery takes almost the same amount of time. To replace the battery requires removing 4 cotter pins (2 of which are in a cramped and relatively hard to get to area) to remove the truck body. Then you have to remove 2 pins to remove the battery hold down bar. The battery is in two sections, joined by a 2-inch cable. When replacing the battery, you have to be careful to route the connecting cable to make sure it doesn’t interfere with the drive shaft. I’m planning to modify the truck to make the battery changes less onerous … something I wish that Megatech would have done for me.
Unusable.

Assembled the truck, turned it on, and was totally unable to trim throttle. Maybe too much interference. I’m between an airport and a large hospital with a helicopter pad. Wheels spin at full speed (25+ mph). I put it down once and it ZIPPED out of sight faster than I could follow. Had to pull it out of the bushes, still whirring at full throttle. I’ve tried repeatedly to reach the manufacturer but they won’t answer e-mails and I’ve given up with customer support after 30+ minutes on hold, twice. This thing has potential to seriously rock, if it’d work. Maybe I’ll try it in a more secluded area. It’s been sitting on the shelf since the one time I tried to use it though… Total bummer!
Good Value

Can’t beat it for the price. Very durable and almost ready to go right out of the box. Battery life isn’t the greatest but recharges relatively quick. Recommend a second battery for more continuous fun…
Excelent value!

Bought this car for Christmas for my son and I am very surprise with how fast it goes and the quality. Ok, lots of plastic but to be honest you get what you pay for, however, it looks very resistant. Over all, nice car and very good value.
