Racing Car F1[Black]

Overall, great simple kit. It's truly a bare bones set up, but that's consistent with the price, and was great fun to assemble with my son. A few things are needed to make it better: 1) the small orange bushings that are used to secure the small metal posts that allow the front wheels to steer aren't tight enough, as such, we have to re-tighten them after about 15 minutes of driving around 2) the little glue stickers are neither easy to apply, or sticky enough. Why not just use the little screws everywhere, it would be much easier 3) the remote control range is too short - you need a better transmitter. 4) There should be a wooden handle part for the remote control. It's just hard to hold as is.

At first we were overwelmed with all the pieces. After we got started time flew by. We finished it around a hour . Very rewarding build. Not gonna last for ever, but for the price it's very cool. I like that the wheels turn. We ended up using the video to complete. Easier to follow than the paper instructions.

It is OK toy to experiment with but gets worn out and flimsy in no time. Mechanical steering regulator is not functioning smoothly and that is where the weakness of whole construction. So your front tires get stocked in one position and you are doomed. Cheap materials.

Purchased this for my 11 year old for Christmas, he found it easy to assemble, and is impressed with the functionality. It was the perfect gift as he loves to build and it was the perfect size to allow for rather quick assembly and easy to store when not in use.

Kids don't understand the importance of not over-tightening screws. Car will sag under it's own weight and won't steer if screws are over tightened. It came with one replacement part that I needed, but I had to use a twist tie to reinforce the metal axil holder onto the wooden frame since the screws were stripped out in the soft wood. Very cool toy. LOVED playing with it. The batteries didn't stay in the car's battery holder. I had to use the velcro strap with a spare wood bit wedged in in order to hold the battery in it's housing. Some inconsistent performance based possibly on weight distribution over the wheels, but it would drift on one side and turn hard to another side. Very light duty but fun on hard floors for sure. Not good on carpet. Will pick up hair in the axels. Had fun assembling with two 10 year olds. They gave up at step 11.

So it's for ages 9+ well I had my kids do it (ages 6 and 4) with a little help from me, but mostly them. They enjoyed the building and then running the cars around. It's a good project and I recommend it! Just be prepared to help if your kids are under the recommend age.

Poor design. When screws were tightened the motor wouldn't work and car wouldn't drive but when screws left loose then the bar that holds the wheels would droop and wheels were not straight. Also barely turning with remote control.

Easy to assemble
