Speedy but hard to turn
Should be used on hard surface floor. Turning is almost impossible on carpet but it can still go forward and back. It is surprisingly fast moving but with the size of the wheels, I thought it would be able to handle more terrain. I like that it is very stable and has no issues staying in an upright position. I think that all the stabilizing parts that stick out to the sides of the toy could scuff walls with bad driving which is highly likely. This toy requires 4 AA and 2 AAA batteries and requires a tiny screwdriver to open and access the compartment. The battery compartment slides out completely from underneath the centre of the vehicle.
I don't think it's very easy to steer, seeing as this is for children over 3+ and I am an adult. I am used to the Playstation remote controllers with 360 degree rotation but the forward/backward and left/right controls are independent of each other. The toy is rear-wheel drive and the back wheel is controlled by the forward/backward (left yellow) toggle on the controller. The right yellow toggle on the controller moves the front wheel left and right. I found it struggled to respond to turning smoothly; there was a slight delay before the toy would turn in the chosen direction or it prefers to be stopped with no other actions to turn the wheel. The front wheel automatically defaults to the straight position if you let go or aren't forcing the toggle to a left or right direction.
I think it's a good toy for paw patrol fans but there are better remote controlled vehicles.
