Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies H-racer 2.0 with IR control

Product Review

At only 6", this scaled down version of a breakthrough concept in hydrogen-powered vehicles will get kids' wheels spinning as they learn about fuel cell technology and zero-emission mechanisms. After kids assemble it, they can charge the car by filling the fuel station with water and then power it with either the solar panel or batteries. The station then converts the water and power into hydrogen energy-making it 100% clean fuel and an unlimited resource. Both the car and its included fueling station are transparent so kids can watch the water work its magic. Requires 2 AA batteries (not included). For ages 12 and up. Kit includes:Hydrogen fuel station, Solar panel, Remote Control, Hydrogen fuel cell car assembly parts (assembly required), Instructions manual. Size:6"L.

This review is from: Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies H-racer 2.0 with IR control and Solar Hydrogen Refueling Station (Toy)

Car and fueling station come in about twenty small pieces, including tiny - and I mean TINY - screws. You will need an eyeglass sized philips head screwdriver. My son had difficulty with the screws so I ended up placing them. The problem comes in that I had to exert great force to drive the screws into the thin, brittle plastic. That required both great force and great delicacy in order to keep from breaking the toy. I also stripped one of the screws. The instructions are extremely wordy and unhelpful for several steps. When we finally got everything put together, it took about fifteen minutes to charge the hydrogen tank. Then the car ran for about two minutes. It was the most slow and boring remote control car my son ever had. The car will only run on hard floors, not carpet. After running it once, my son asked if we could return it and get our money back.
