Q: How fast does this car go? And does it work on grass and the gravel very fast or no?

submitted by Person - 4 years ago
  • A: how fast does it go

    submitted byDavid - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Person, the Vortex is a toy for young children, and doesn't go any faster than five miles per hour. That makes it perfect for playing in the house as well as in your driveway. Kind regards, AF from Team NB

Q: How fast does it go and how fast does it go on the rocks or grass?

submitted by Person - 4 years ago
  • A: We were actually surprised what this thing can do. It goes through our lawn just fine. Our son sets up obstacle courses with pieces of firewood and boards. So far it has climbed anything that was not more than half way up the tires. The shocks are a little on the loose side so it does have some bounce and sometimes you think its going to flip over.

    submitted bymrymrtn - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi Person, it is not recommended to run the Vortex Buggy in the grass, as it does not have a big enough wheel base to clear most lawns. It can run on gravel but running it on very rough terrain will drain the battery quickly. It runs best on cement, packed dirt, or other hard surfaces. Kind regards, AF from Team NB

Q: does this abs plastic have bpa added?

submitted by m3 - 2 years ago
  • A: We reached out to the factory and the response back was that this ABS plastic is BPA free. Hope this helps answer your question. Sincerely SB from Team NB.

Q: can it go on the road

submitted by David - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi David, the Vortex can be used outdoors, but it is not an all wheel drive toy. It will drive best on low trim surfaces like packed dirt, cement or indoors on hardwood and tile. It has enough grip to go over small bumps. Thank you for the question. Kind regards, AF from Team NB

Q: full function? so does it turn left/right? top speed?

submitted by Jack3240 - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Jack3240, thanks for the question. Full Function R/C means that the vehicle can be driven forwards and backwards and steered left and right. Our R/Cs are meant to be driven indoors and out, and are intended for children and beginners, so the top speed is around 5mph. Kind regards, AF from Team NB

Q: how long does this run on a full charge

submitted by o - 3 years ago
  • A: Hello, the Vortex should run for at least 15 minutes on a full charge, but this is assuming continuous use. The drive time can be affected by terrain and driving style. The Vortex will run best on low-trim surfaces like hard dirt, wood or tile flooring, or cement. We do not recommend running the toy through grass as it can get tangled up in the wheels and contains moisture, which affects the electronics. Kind regards, AF from Team NB

Q: what age group is recommended for this Buggy?

submitted by Nancy - 4 years ago
  • A: Hello Nancy, the Vortex is recommended for ages six and up. It has full function radio control capabilities but a simple, game-style remote control that is easy for small hands to master. Kind regards, AF from New Bright

during unboxing I cut what I thought was yet another redundant anti theft strap that was run through the box. turned out it was the charging cable. why they did it the way they did is beyond me, but i had to splice the cord so I could charge it for my son. don't cut the green wire! other than my own idiocy it seems to be what you would expect from a cheap rc car.

This really inexpensive remote control car is perfect for my three year old. It doesn’t have a super tight turn radius but it has taken a beating both inside and outside and still runs great. I’m kind of amazed. I also love that it plugs in to charge - saving us a ton in giant batteries.

I bought this for a 2 year old so it’s good enough for him. It’s not the best quality and has a hard time driving on anything but flat ground (no grass or major hills) charges fine and lasts for the duration of his attention span (15 min) and then some.

Do not buy Bad Design - 2 years ago
My son had this for less than 24 hours and the wheel broke off. He maybe drove it 5 times before it broke. The axles have major design flaws. Thin brittle plastic with a small screw. The axle snaps right where the screw ends. DO NOT BUY!

Amanda - 2 years ago
We've had the car for 2 days and are incredibly disappointed in the performance (speed and maneuverability), battery life, and overall quality. I say this in comparison to several other RC cars that we've purchased in the past for similar cost. My son is sad that he spent Christmas money on a toy that he's now not interested in because of how bad it is. Please do not buy this product.
