for the price it fulfilled its purpose very well.

For the price it's still acceptable. The charger base has lights that go from red to blue when loaded and are very light, convenient for children, for against load plates which come into contact on the controller are not terrible. On my base was one deeper than the other due to transport and set up in the box. For the use and carrying of the load. My daughter played 1h15 with carefree rest of correct load.
