We bought the car for our 6 year old boy. When unpacking the joy and excitement was great. So batteries in and off. With the control he got along immediately. All specified functions have been tried and convicted of our Junior for good. Definitely a gift that can bring a smile on children's face. Unfortunately, the joy lasted not long. The car was after a few uses on the mind. The car no longer drove forward suddenly, the wheels just turned even when highly took the car, otherwise a standstill despite engine noise. Thus we have the RC Mercedes sent back.
