Note
Your new RC vehicle is built to handle exciting off-road action, including wet conditions like mud, snow, and even rain! Its waterproof electronics let you take on tough terrain with confidence. While your vehicle is highly water-resistant, it's important to remember that it's not fully waterproof. To keep it running strong after splashing through puddles or cruising through the snow, give it a little TLC:
Wipe it down: Use a clean, dry cloth to remove any moisture from the vehicle's surfaces.
Dry the connectors: Pay special attention to the battery and motor connectors, making sure they are completely dry to prevent corrosion.
With just a bit of care, your RC vehicle will be ready for countless adventures, rain or shine!

Verified buyerI bought this for my 3.5-year-old son a couple of days ago and couldn't be happier with the purchase. He has had a fair few high-speed crashes while he was getting used to it, but this thing has held up very well and nothing has broken on it sofar. I would highly recommend getting a throttle limiter that these guys sell if you are planning on buying this for a kid. This would slow it down until they get used to the steering etc. Overall very happy with the purchase and didn't think it was going to be this fast at all.
