 Hard to believe Jan 06, 2011
By Mark
"mark s"
We've been buying various "big wheel" RC trucks, cars, etc. for the last couple years in the hope of finding one that can actually go through grass or over a twig without stalling. We've taken every one back. Our son is only 7 so we weren't going to invest the $250-$350 in the "real" RC cars that have 4 wheel drive and do 35mph+ everywhere and anywhere. We just wanted a cool toy that would work on the rug, and incline and grass and not cost a lot of money. After reading others' reviews and seeing the video of the Cyclaws I thought that if this lived up to half it's hype it might be worth it.
First of all, 'conditioning' the battery per the directions has given us something over 20min. of run time by the 3rd charge. For those who have complained about this as too short a run time I have to assume they've kind of missed the point. I frankly can't believe the car has even stood up to the 50+ min. of running we've done with it so far. The videos actually understate the performance. This thing is beyond wild. My son even ran over it with his bike while I was chasing him with it and it seemed like it could take that punishment all day long. The wheels and tires don't seem like they would hold up to a lot of abuse but after serious concrete, and shell rock punishment I don't even see wear!
The speed control is all on or off. It's not proportional but no big deal. It's price seems similar to many other RC cars that don't deliver anything close to the capabilities. I got it on sale at Amazon before Christmas and paid $60. That's about $20 more than the 'sale' price of most of the Christmas RC fare I had seen and tried before. Worth it!

 Don't buy more than one Jan 30, 2011
By rlbstein
We watched the YouTube video on these and my boys wanted them so bad. I checked out a few of the other remote control cars that were equivalent to this and decided that these would be best. We ordered 2 and then found out that they are manufactured with the same frequency remotes and cannot be used near each other. Now I have 2 boys that want to play cars together that now have to be separated (one in the front yard and one in the back). I have owned remote control cars since I was a kid and figured all I would have to do is go down to a hobby shop and get a different frequency crystal, but it doesn't have the kind that you can replace. It's a good car but not happy that they don't make different frequencies. (and yes I contacted the company about it)

Cyclaws Dec 06, 2010
By hombergers
This a a fun, super durable RC car. My 5 and 8 year boys love it and would play with it for hours IF the battery life wasn't so poor. This is the reason for the 3 star reason. After the first few runs with it, the car only runs for about 20 minutes at most.

 Fun Jan 19, 2011
By kddidgsd
I like this toy. I am glad I have a boy so I could purchase this for him. I have had a blast playing with it. As for education - learning how to use it takes finger dexterity and the wheels take some getting used to - learning how to get the dirt out takes a lot of time! That is the biggest flaw is it takes on dirt and the wheels get stuck. Still a lot of fun!

Awesome rc car Aug 02, 2011
this thing can go through anything i have put this thing in some really thick and long grass and it just keeps powering through it i put it is in dirt and weeds in a field and i put it is grass and really steep hills and by hills i mean almost strate up! i opened the claws but is seems to slow down when they are open and it seems to run out of battery before it can make it up a really steep hill so i dont open the claws be cause of that i just keep them clowsed. it sits really low in the grass so the grass will make this car really dirty it will also get a lot of grass in the bottem where you put the battery in. you will also get alot of dirt grass and bugs caught in the claws so make sure to clean the car outside so all of the grass bugs and other dirt doesent get in your home
