Super tough, well built car!

Bought 2 Bandits. One for my grandson. We’ve had a blast running these cars together! I was concerned at first because he’s 7 and sure enough, he had a few BAD crashes on the first day. Like head on straight into a concrete curb at full throttle. The Bandit survived with NO damage. (We did have the aftermarket RPM large front bumper installed). The durability is truly remarkable… read more and its so nice to have cars that spend more time on the road than on the workbench!
Perfect

Our 11 year old son lives this car. There is a “training mode” that cuts the speed in half for younger drivers to learn how to handle the car before going full throttle. Be aware that it down not come with a wall charger- we should have read more carefully. The charger must be plugged into a DC port of a car. A wall adapter is available for about $25 which we recommend purchasing.
