Erector Turbo Radio Control Set 2 Models 260+ Parts

This is certainly harder to build than you would think. I wasn't able to properly attach the body to the kit. I think it is impossible with only 2 adult hands. But I am satisfied with its appearance. The RC functionality is terrible. You have to point the antenna of the controller at the car or signal is lost, at least indoors. It does make a great decoration on my shelf.

This product is definitely not for anyonone under 10. The pieces are difficult to put together and the instructions do not provide easy step by step assembly. Be prepared to provide alot of assistance and maybe even get a bit frustrated yourself - as I was:)

Also, the direction controls seem to be reversed. Think it is awesome that the set DOES come with batteries, however. And though the packaging says this set is appropriate for a 7-year-old, I wouldn't recommend this for a child under 10 for the difficulty (unless they are advanced for their age).
