Hot Wheels RC Toy Car, Full-Function Remote-Control 1:64 Scale Ford Mustang, Booster Button to Race & Stunt On- or Off-Track, Recharge with USB Cable

The weird thing is my son apparently hasnt figured out that he can use this on a hot wheel track. What he's been doing is racing it around the downstairs and messing with our cat, who loves chasing it. Normally he'll chase Hot Wheels but once they stop moving he loses interest. As this is a remote-controlled car, there is a bit more fun to be had.What we like:Very fast!Car charges and doesnt require removable batteries. Remote does however.Fun to drive and controls surprisingly well considering the size.What we dont like:Alignment buttons dont make sense if you dont read the instructions. The two buttons under the right stick are alignment buttons. Most rc cars will develop drift over a period of time and these are no different. The alignment buttons are there to help straighten things up. I had to google this because my son after opening, for once, quickly threw his trash away and it was only when I came to write this review did I sit down with the car and had no idea what the two extra buttons do.Overall:Pretty happy with this but I would say there is more fun to be had when you run this on a track than just driving it around the house. Our home is full of animals and fur and it wasnt long before you could tell that fur was starting to hinder performance. The turbo button is awesome but typically the car becomes hard to drive at that point which is why Id suggest driving this on a track.

This has been a lot of fun already, and I anticipate it being even more fun later when I get a second one to play with, with my kids. It's surprisingly fast, but that probably contributes to what makes it kind of difficult to drive. It wants to do donuts more than go in a straight line.I was also kind of disappointed with the method of steering as well: it steers by powering one rear wheel more than the other. This _kind_ of works if you tap it very lightly when you're already moving, but if you're moving too slowly or at a standstill you'll end up losing control and spinning out. I would have loved to have seen actual front wheel steering, but I'm sure this was the less expensive, and more importantly the more durable option.Speaking of durability, I think this should hold up for quite a while. It's fast but it's so lightweight and so simple (with out any kind of rack and pinion steering), and the plastic shell and wheels seem built well enough that it just gives the impression that it won't break easily. I've already accidentally run it full speed into immovable objects without a scratch.Battery seems really good; I haven't run it down to zero yet and only charged it once so far.The controller could be a _lot_ better. The sticks, particularly the steering stick is really stiff.Overall though I'm a big fan and will be buying another soon so my kids and I can drive at the same time. That will probably just be attempting and mostly failing to crash into each other, but I guarantee it'll be a ton of fun.

The Ford Mustang GTD is the same size as a regular Hot Wheels car, meaning it can be used with any Hot Wheels playset even without the remote control. Although, it is not as sturdy as regular Hot Wheels cars, most likely due to the technology inside it. But still the car moves fast (especially with the boost) and turns sharply so controlling it can be a little difficult.There are two extra buttons on the remote controller that do not seem to do anything.As far as the instructions are concerned, it has lots of important information not just about setup, but also proper usage, safety, and other useful tidbits. In addition, a charging cable for the car is included. Though you will need to use your own adapter. Also, the remote control requires two AAA batteries that are not included.Finally, make sure you have a small screwdriver available to insert the batteries into the controller.Overall, it is a cool concept and my son who has always been fond of Hot Wheels and the Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers likes it.

Never though hot wheel cars will get an RC version in their form factor but they have and are turning popular cars into mini RC versions for a low price of $20.00. On top of that these things last pretty long one one full charge up to around 17-20m depends on how much you use the turbo. The frame retains a metal build and retains great detail making me feel bad for crashing it into things but it is pretty durable. The control takes a moment to get use to as the front wheels don't actually turn and the wheels on each side just spin in reverse to turn. It's very fun to drift in but if you need it to grip the floor you will have to put it on something with more rubber. These things are great for hot wheel tracks and you will get so much fun and speed out of it when used on a track platform. Overall this toy is great for kids and adults alike. Functions like a hot wheel but with the option to run fast as heck remotely. This is what tech evolution was made for!

My little cousins birthday was coming up and I was trying to look for a great gift for him because he’s turning 11 which one they turn that age it’s kind of hard to find great gifts without spending a lot of money so when I came across this little RC car I thought it would be such an awesome idea to get him into RC cars. I love it it’s a Mustang is an easy recognizable car. The paint on it is like this beautiful light blue kind of grayish color and it’s really awesome and matches the controller which is really cool as well. It has a great battery life and I think for the money that you’re spending on it, you were getting an awesome gift that anybody can use because it’s easy to use and they will have lots of fun.
