Item arrived undamaged. There were some surprises good and bad concerning this car.
The good:
· This car has coil spring suspension (but no shocks). Neither was mentioned.
· Car also has working taillights (but no brake light). Neither was mentioned.
· Very nice looking car.. Really good red trim wheel and brembo brake detail. The tires are semi-hard but it doesn't skid on hardwood floors. It's also pretty fast (for indoor use). The color is flat black, not gloss. This was not apparent in the picture.
The bad:
· Its lowest ground clearance is at the front... 3/16". Runs fine on my embossed patterned berbour carpet and paved driveway... forget about grass or dirt.
· The biggest issue was that, for the price, I thought this car would have digital proportional control. Instead, it's only full on/off or full left/right. Guess I should have suspected since this was never mentioned but I figured with the previous reviewer being a car collector...Read more

I gave this one to my brother last Christmas, he ABSOLUTELY loves it! And he should know, he is a model and scale car collector and enthusiast. Felt like a kid again, playing on Christmas day with it.

This car is pretty cool. it drives fast with the supplied battery pack. It also has room in the battery compartment for a bigger battery upgrade. the current battery comes with a 7.2V 700mah but I upgraded to the 9.6V 2000mah, it is alot faster and it last alot longer. It is rear wheel drive with independent suspension, which makes it great for sharp turns like a real car. The only thing that sucks it that if u try to drive it on rocks, which your not suppose to but it some how manages. but sometimes it will get stuck and 1 wheel will move really fast while the other wheel does nothing. just like a real car.
