This car is fast!! Although it is 'made in china' its definitely good quality. The motor, gearing and all is covered by the plastic body, as well as lightweight shell on top. The controls are pretty easy to get the hang of, although not proportional-meaning the forward power is all or none. throttle is on or off, no in between speed. I did find that short spurts of throttle did make the car go at a slower pace. All in all, a great buy for the price. Definitely not cheaply made. Starter hobby grade car (or even great toy grade car) for a good price!
The car arrived with a faulty remote that worked intermittently. It was disappointing but Airsoft Joe was fabulous to work with. They emailed me immediately following my attempt to return it and when I explained the problem, they sent out a new remote right away. The car works great now and is a lot of fun. My 10 year old used his bday gift cards to purchase and is very happy with it now.
Amazing RC for the price. It can do donuts and skids and drifts very well. The car looks great. I may have cracked the front bumper, but it can take many hits over and over again. I would definitely rebuy one if I break my current one. I race with my son in the house and its a blast.
As an amateur RC user, this fits my needs well.
My 7 year old LOVES this car. He got it for Christmas. It's fast and turns great. However, our dog stepped on the back spoiler and it broke off. So, it's not really the car but it is super fragile in that regard. Definitely be careful not to step on it.
Fun toy, but body is not removable as the pins seem to indicate.

So fast! He loved playing with this car and he is 5. Only downside is that the battery doesn’t last very long. It would be nice to have a back up battery for it. It’s made really cheap. But hopefully it will last for awhile.
My son left the usb charger cable for the pirahna rc car on the radiator and melted, Contacted Airsoft joe and was replaced in less than 4 business days without cost. Pirahna rc car is up and working again thank you Airsoft joe.
This car is pretty fast and lots of fun to play with. I gave this to my dad for Christmas and he had loads of fun chasing the dogs around with this.
Very fast car. Very lightweight. Takes bumps pretty good. My son is quite destructive and it has survived him so far. Only bad thing I can think of is that the battery doesn't last very long.
Nice RC!! High quality
