Can someone explain to me how the "speed control" works. I'm hoping to put it in the lowest speed for teaching my daughter

Hi there, the speed control is on the front. Its a bar switch that slides from left to right, left being the slowest and right being the fastest. Hope this helps!

Do you see the picture at the bottom of the listing with the lights? That is my picture. It has different speeds fast, slow, random. The other models have Off and On. Thank You

I am sure this speed control will change your speed. There has to be a change in power in order to reduce the speed.

There are two speed settings. When set on 2, the higher rpm setting,it's rated at 1400 rpm.Thank youWorldGoodsCorp

You can set the speed manually, or use one of the automated programs. I always adjust the speed manually. The increments are 0.1 mph.

no unfortunately you can not control that. There is speed settings but the settings on mine are all the same. It may just be a defect on mine however, I enjoy mine a lot and it doesn't create too much of a 'whirlwind'.

There's 2 speed adjustments; the 1st is from full open to approx. 3/4 shut and the 2nd is from 1/4 open to full close. There's really good control of both settings. My closer is about 2 years old and it's not gone out of adjustment.

A two speed control works, but a variable speed control does not. I tried a variable control with no luck.

I bought one for my daughter last year for Xmas. She was 8 years old. I taught her all the controls, and adjusted the throttle down so it wouldn't go too fast. Month later, I was adjusting the throttle to go faster. I think the age limit would be 6 for the youngest. But, they need to be somewhat responsible, comprehend that it could be dangerous. ENJOY & HAVE FUN!!!

I bought this for my 5 year old and she has learned how to control it, although there are of course crashes (which it handles just fine). It has variable maximum speeds, so you can start with a slower maximum speed. I think this would be great for an 8 year old.

My kids are 5 and 8. I have had to adjust mine a few times to get the right balance of fun and safety. In addition to a more gradual slope, I put a little extra slack in the line which also slows them down. I just ordered the brake from Slackers for 29.99. I did not see it here on Amazon.

It doesn't go too fast. My grandson is 4yrs old and he rides alone so it doesn't go at a dangerous speed but the training wheels keeps coming off I don't know if it's a assembly or manufacture problem FYI.

The speed control is in the ceiling, part of the fan assembly. It is just a little knob you turn. It is under the white fan cover, and is very easy to change by yourself. I think the range is 10-70. I've tried the upper and lower ends, and am currently using 20 cfm in my 8 x 6 bath. You can tinker with it, see what level works for you.

It's a variable speed twist speed control like a motorcycle twist. As there's no clutch it does engage and start quickly. I've learned to be easy on the throttle for slow manuvers and it works quite well.

It only had two speeds. Fast and what appears to be medium. There is no low setting. I am assuming the third speed the description is referring to the off position.

You have two options, R/C (remotely controlled). While under R/C mode, kid can steer while you control gas/break. Other option is to turn off R/C mode and give full control to who's driving it, in this case the kid. While under this option, you cannot override anything with the controller. I honestly would not recommend this toy to anyone. The car is very weak, way under powered, even when fully charged. It barely moves at a slight incline. For the money paid, you would think it would be a bit more powerful.

As far as I know you can only go faster by turing the speed control knob all the way to the right. Hope that world for you.
