This is a pretty cool radio-controlled four-wheel drive truck that I received at a deep discount in exchange for this review. I should start by saying that I've never driven a radio-controlled anything before receiving this truck. So I am not an experienced reviewer when it comes to these kinds of things.

I was able to figure out how to charge the battery, connect it, etc., relatively easily. The instructions could definitely be clearer and more detailed, though. I essentially had to figure out most of the stuff on my own. I think the manual is not really written for novices.

I had some trouble with the linch pins that hold the cover to the frame, but eventually figured it out. I say that even though I now seem to have two linch pins left over, and can't figure out where they should go! (The cover must be taken off to attach the battery.)

When I took the truck out to the driveway to drive it for the first time, I was impressed by how fast it was, and how easy it was to steer. This thing is definitely fun to play with! It is very fast, and it also seems fairly durable, as a number of times I inadvertently drove it off the driveway and it held up just fine. It also ran reasonably well on grass, and through leaves.

One nice addition to this kit would have been a spare battery. When the battery runs down, you can't just swap in a second battery, though I imagine you could purchase a second battery separately.

Overall I am pleased with this radio-controlled truck from Novcolxya.
