I bought this item brand new else where (not amazon), my experience with the item was very bad.Cons:- Very very dificult to install the batteries , to whoever designed the battery system is definitely low on usability skills :) and who ever designed the user manual is completely nuts .. no clue how to open, I had to research for 20mins,- Did not last long. After 10 mins playing the motor slowed down as though the battery died.- Doesnt work on Carpet. The truck was moving with great diffculty on carpet - the motor is not as powerful, works great on hardwood.Pros:- Really fun toy, My son was super excited for the first 10mins when it actually worked.- I think my son started to learn and think how the truck was moving with remote control ..it was interesting to see him pondering.Summary: definitely great toy idea for kids but this one doesnt meet the bar .... it sint work more than 10 mins after it was out of the box, battery dried up or motor was stuck ..
