After about a week in service and two battery changes to violent squeaks presented a the top of the human hearing spectrum. Shortly afterwards, the green monster refused with the engine running, to move his tires. As technically gifted family man I picked up the fine mechanics cutlery and underwent "Speedy" emergency surgery. Here, unfortunately, I had to realize that the internal organs are accessible only with special tools that can however be produced at the lathe in about twenty minutes of work itself. When opening the engine by hastily shifted on alert family internal professionals realized that the repair due to the lousy processed rubber-drive technology was more than expected a temporary success. And sure enough: about half an hour later whistled "Speedy" already on its last legs and had to be shunted into the sidings.
Now that the price can be a hand pay no desire to obtain warranty negotiations in attack, on the other hand the three-year owner does not agree to dispose of the lump waste without further ado, the completely useless and meaningless "Speedy" will remain our household well for a long time.
Anyone hoping the way, in other battery-powered vehicles made by Brio to have more pleasure, which must be prepared for a bitter disappointment. In my experience, the play value of all these vehicles is well below the non-powered timber trucks. The eternally repeating railway noise annoy greatly and take the fun out of the game, which indeed it is, to fabricate the necessary noise itself. On top of that most devices are not able to pull a train of more than 4 cars on a bridge. Conclusion: more expensive plastic scrap with even with functioning equipment dubious play value.
