High fun factor but unfortunately very poor durability

Actually, I was looking for a remote controlled car for my children. And I also came across the Jamara MRI S2 truck that I then ordered additionally due to the excellent reviews for myself. The children received another because I thought the high speed is not easy to control for children. Especially as was her wish size of the vehicle Minimum 30 cm. In a direct comparison between the current remote controlled car for children (in our case Longshore - RC Alien Panic) and the Jamara children decided immediately that the Jamara MRI S2 but not Papa will include. Thus, the other toys (like always without problems) went to Amazon back.

The vehicle can be very good by the stepless adjustable speed on the throttle (which is hardly available in this price range is) good control of children. Steering is not metered. As usual in the price segment under the 100th

To charge the vehicle: Originally a vehicle was desirable with AA batteries of us. In order for empty batteries immediately to replace them in order not to interrupt the game flow. Since the built-in battery but also relatively quickly (30 min.) Can be loaded via the control and the children in the meantime deal differently on the playground, they come along very well with it. The charge via USB to the PC is not yet fully understood me. According to the description (the very poor) goes off when fully charged, the LED light. What in this case does not apply. Rather, I feel the battery drains itself when connected via USB. (PS It's the other way around! The vehicle must be turned off and on full battery turns on LED.) When fully charged, the vehicle has in my rather rapid driving a mileage of 10 Min. In our children by their slow pace for 20-25 minutes.

Subject to proper speed on several small stones (eg gravel), it shakes the little ones due to its low weight a bit by what can lead to rollovers. The range varies between 8-15 meters. Which at 15 meters with the small, the front and rear part is a bit difficult to distinguish visually.
Every now and then the vehicle has a life of its own and moves at a slow pace without a pulse signal to give. Since the trim button helps then nothing. Here, the vehicle must be turned off briefly.
In the rather long and rigid telescopic antenna, I fear that this could relatively easily break away from children. In the nursery, the vehicle should not stand around somewhere to prevent accidental step on to avoid the little car also.

It was MRI-S2 (blue) ordered, so that the children can jointly organizing races also Jamara.

Meanwhile indulged by Amazon already four vehicles to us: 2x Jamara MRI S2 one of which with high speed and drove Front against the wall broke. 2x Jamara MRI S1 both (defective steering linkage and embarked front wheels remained partially stuck) supplied faulty. Went as usual, again easily to Amazon retour.

Conclusion: See the little runabout power as a kind of Carrera racetrack alternative for indoor and outdoor use with more freedom and greater reach than prescribed Bahnen.Vorderteil the vehicle is not very robust. In particular, the steering and the front axle somewhat delicate and thus prone. Even the very small gear transmission appears to be highly susceptible. Therefore only three stars.

Now Papa to have to look to another remotely operated vehicle. A ARCTIC Land Rider 303 Buggy which has already been ordered from Amazon. Review to follow.
