I bought 5 of these at Target before Christmas as an almost afterthought stocking stuffer. Our 3 kids and my wife and I love them. We haven’t tried driving them over stuff because A) they’re really small, and B) they’re a ton of fun just driving around the living room on the hardwood floors. They charge up in about a minute and drive for 5+ minutes at a time. We had all 4 going at the same time playing car tag, racing, etc. I’m actually on here shopping for more as replacements for when ours break. They’re really durable and you can take everything important off of them in seconds for cleaning.
Couple of notes: first, batteries go into the charger differently than you usually see–the positive and negatives all point the same direction, where most other toys alternate. Easy to figure out but now what we were used to.
Putting them on the charger takes a few minutes to figure out. Some of ours have an arrow on the car and on the charger that you line up, some don’t. Once you figure it out, it’s very easy. When the car is connected, just hit the charge button and wait for the green light to turn off.
The charge button is also the turbo button when driving–they’re much more fun in turbo speed.
If you charge them and they won’t go, it’s because the car automatically turns off after a few minutes of no use. Cycle the on/off switch on the car and it should work fine.
If the car is acting weird, slow, or won’t go it’s probably because you have a hair in the rear wheels/gears. Snap the rear axle off, take the big gear (white plastic) off of the post that connects to the motor and clean it (takes less than 30 seconds). Put it all back together and it will probably work great. I’ll bet most problems people have with these comes from hair or carpet fibers wrapped around the gears.
