Amphibious RC Truck 1: 12 8WD, 2.4G Off Road Waterproof Large Remote Control Car for Boys, All Terrain RC Car Toys for 7 8 9 10 11 12 Year Old Boys/Girls 4+, Gift Birthday Christmas -Black

Okay. I am an old guy. I am 60 years old and I have been fascinated by RC cars and toys since I was a little kid. I have had MANY RC cars over the last half decade.This vehicle is hands down my favorite. It is SO FUN!I have read reviews that this isn't fast enough. Yeah, it's not a race car. Heck, it has EIGHT wheels! It's not made for speed. It is made for going over and through areas that most RC cars cannot. It is quick and fast enough.The traction is AMAZING!I have also read reviews that it doesn't turn well. Okay folks, again, this thing has EIGHT wheels and it is EIGHT wheel drive! It's NOT going to steer like a traditional vehicle. All of the wheels turn at the same time. Each side is independent of each other. When I am playing with this I have no problem steering it. I stop, adjust angle, and go again. So easy! Plus, this thing can just stay in one spot and spin in circles.As far as climbing things, I am truly amazed. We have a child gate. You have to step over a metal bar which is about 2-3" high in a doorway. Well, I can drive up to that bar and go right over it! Truly amazing!I cannot vouch for this being waterproof. I haven't tried that and I probably won't. I don't have the want or need to.I am going to try it in the snow the next time it snows here.About 20 years ago I had some rebound-type of 4x4 RC cars. This is similar except for twice the number of wheels.This vehicle reminds me of those.If all you want is speed, then go find a fast car. I have plenty of those, and they're great. BUT they're not as fun driving around inside the house. Not at all. I need a big parking lot or street where my super fast RC vehicles really shine.Again, this is SO AWESOME and it is MY FAVORITE vehicle I've owned in over 50 years. I love it so much I bought another. Now I have yellow and black. We can use them at the same time.So, before you buy an RC vehicle, think about what you want. Something that can go quick enough and climb many things, or something really fast that's going to bump into every piece of furniture and wall.Your choice. I choose THIS!!!!

I bought this for my 6-year-old and he absolutely loves it! It’s fast, powerful, and handles all kinds of terrain—grass, sand, even water. The 8WD makes it super fun to drive. It feels sturdy and well-built. Definitely a perfect birthday or holiday gift for any kid who loves RC cars!

The media could not be loaded. Works in water and on hard surface. Kids love it.

The media could not be loaded. My 3 year old has been putting a daily beating on this for 6 months now. A couple exterior cracks and the mirrors broke off, but my kids BEAT on these, and they still run like new. Battery life is awesome. Haven’t tried it in the water and I don’t think I’d risk it, but it has done fine in wet grass.

I got this for my son for his eighth birthday. He uses it every time he knows he’s going to this one play ground with concrete and little pools of water to ride through. I only wish it came with two batteries, I keep forgetting to purchase another.

The truck seems ok but charger is a cheap piece of junk! I spent 65.00 dollars for the truck that came with two batteries and it lasted all of 1 hour. The charger is nothing but a cord that apparently is made to fit this truck only so you can't use a charger that you already have on hand. I have not been able to charge the batteries not the first time. Save your money and don't buy this piece of junk!

Grandson loves this truck. It offers lot of hours of pretend play for him. He a monster truck nut!

The truck handles well it is faster than expected haven't had a chance to use it in water yet but works good in dirt and on hills, battery life is ok but seller shipped a free battery and extra charger when asked if I could purchase one!!!
