Q: Hello! I bought this and my son loves it but I have trouble with the connection between the car and the remote control. They didn’t connected well so we can’t use them
submitted by Magdalena - 5 years ago
A: What's worked for us is to turn the car in first then, within a few seconds, turn the remote on. Then, wait until the light on the remote stops blinking so you know the connection has been made. Also, make sure batteries are fully charged or new. Good luck!

Q: My daughter got these as a Christmas gift. We only played it a few times over the holiday. Now it will not run when placed on the floor. We put in brand new batteries and the wheels run when flipped upside down. Help please!

A: Check to make sure there is not hair wrapped around the axles. We have pets and long-haired folks in our house and this has been a culprit. Good luck

Q: I have been trying to find, and figure out, what purpose the little white dial under the car serves? It’s the small circle with the white dial that can be moved to the right or the left, respectively. There is no mention of what this does. Please advise!
submitted by Ags - 8 months ago
A: That small white dial is used to adjust the alignment (trim) of the RC car. If the car tends to drift slightly to the left or right when driving straight, turning the dial helps correct the steering so it tracks properly. Thank you

Q: Can this set be used in conjunction with other brands to allow for large group play? I have read that only one set (of the same brand) can be used at a time because of controller interference.

Don't buy-cheaply made
This is a very cheaply made item. It was a ton of fun for about 5 minutes until the gear striped and the car would no longer move. I would have returned it but I already threw out the box. DONT waste you money!

Had two tries and neither worked
Very poor quality. This would be such a fun toy if the quality was better. First one had the drive disengage from the wheels within the first 30-mins (no “bumping” even!). Enchanted for another, for which the blue car stopped responding to the remote within 3-mins of play. Such a shame - I have a very sad kiddo…

Not worth it.
The red remote works for the blue car and the blue remote works for the red car lol. And the red cars eject buttons are broken so every time it even softly bumps into something the driver ejects out and doesn’t go back in. I have to slam it in there. Wouldn’t recommend.

Lasted a whopping one day. Blue car started clicking, reverse stopped working and it would only turn in one direction. Single use plastic junk strikes again.

Our kids love playing with these. The controls can be a little hard for younger kids, but they get the hang of it. They really get a kick out of it when the drivers pop out.

Fun but batteries melt
Would've loved these if we had gotten to use them. The red car works great, but the blue car has melted 2 sets of batteries. It was a good thing I happened to pick it up and hold it for just a minute after we ran it the first time because I felt the battery compartment getting progressively hotter. Opened it up and the batteries were swelling. Glad it didn't explode. Thought it might be bad batteries, so tried another brand new set of a different brand. Same thing happened. It's unsafe to put any batteries in it, so it is unusable. The one red car is fun though. I've been tempted to buy a second set and hope I'd get a good blue car, but they're pricey. Reached out to Sharper Image, since it is obviously a manufacturer defect. They wouldn't do anything for me, said Target would have to handle it.

Bumper Cars are a CrackUp
okay so 10 AAA batteries... that being said, these things are a crackup literally and hours of fun lol on a daily basis... thinking of Elf on the Shelf hanging on for dear life. Have only used on hard floor, not carpeting. Kids laughing the whole time. Ho Ho Hopefully they last.
