I have bought two such NIKKO Subarus for my children. One of them was obviously faulty as one of the rear wheels was slipping in the driving shaft when operated. The other seemed OK at first but then would only drive to one direction as soon as the forward switch of the remote was pressed; the trimming did not function. The Remote controls had the function to operate as left or right handed but would only function and not properly when to one side only. I tried to contact NIKKO directly regarding these problems but I received no answer! Thanks to AMAZON's fair returns policy I will send both cars back and get a refund.
