Customer Reviews
Very cheaply made - Hattori Hanpei -
This toy has a handpainted finish and is made in China so buyer beware. Also it is cheaply and poorly designed. In order to install the car batteries you have to unscrew the bottom chassis and separate if from the soft plastic car body. There is no external battery compartment. Imagine having to do this every time to refresh batteries. As for the remote, the required 9V battery is a tight fit as it seems the space was originally designed for AA size - and the protruding antenna could cause bodily injury if a child were to run and fall on it (should not be recommended for ages 2+). Other design shortcuts include the use of rubber rear wheels (connected to the motor) and front hard plastic ones. Therefore the car doesnt move in a perfectly straight line and is noisy on hardwood floors. For the price I expected a much better product. I just dont feel this is a safe toy for the recommended ages and will be shopping for an alternative.
OK for the price, limited controls, very short range - Lurfy's Ma - California
For $[...] it's hard to complain. Real RC vehicles are at least 10x that much. Still, I wouldn't buy another one. Sadly, I only learned this after I already bought three of them for different kids. And all three (different models) worked the same and had the same limitations.
The biggest problem is the range - about 10'. It's also intermittent. Once in awhile, it will work from farther away. But it also fails from very close.
It is not powerful enough for most carpets. Works pretty well on hard floors. Even had trouble on asphalt driveway.
It's also loud and annoying. I ended up taking it apart and snipping the wire to the speaker.
All three kids lost interest pretty quickly. It's just not reliable enough for a kid's short attention span. They have too many toys that work every time.
Disappointed - Mom of 3 -
I was really looking forward to giving it to my daughter as she has been asking for a 'pink' remote control car. I love kid galaxy and thought we were safe....we must have received a dud! First the wheels were catching on the pink rubber between them so I trimmed it so they could spin smoothly. Then the radius is only about 5-6' before it stops and you have to move closer again! So, every 3 seconds she has to run towards the car....She could kick it further than the remote allows it to go! Where's the antenna??? I rechecked the box and then read thru the troubleshooting but I guess that's as well as it works. We'll keep searching and hopefully find a pink that is comparable to the boys!
Still Doesn't Work - G - Washington, DC
My 2 y/o received this as a Christmas present (the bubble gum racer). Her older sister (4) fell in love with it and was so excited.... but it doesn't work. So I called the manufacturer-- (whose 800# doesn't work)-- and after a couple of days heard from customer service that they would send a new remote. The remote was on back order or something so then 4+ weeks later we received it.... And -- it still doesn't work!... So I will call again to see if they are willing to replace the entire toy. We've got others just like this and I must say that the noise I've heard from this car so far is much easier on the ears... but I'm quite disappointed that we can't get the thing to GO....
Positives: From what I can tell the sound is much better than other very similar items (from Target). The car itself is made of a squishy rubber so it won't hurt so much running into things and people. Kid Galaxy Cust Svc is very nice.
Negatives: Wish it would work?... Kid Galaxy Customer Service needs to be a bit faster in responding- and should get their 800# working too!
