My son received this for Christmas. The first car would not even move or shoe that it even had power. The replacement that was sent was without the night vision (which was on the first car). but it did moved in about 1/2" jerks. Never smooth and the eye peice was nothing but "white". I gave up and requested a refund. My son has been terribly disappointed. I called Wild Planet for 2 weeks before I received a response 1 week after my last call. All the tech reviews of this product were positive. I guess I just got a "lemon" evidently 2 of them.
