Only 20 minutes of charging time for 10 minutes play is pretty impressive. The gx buggy is incredibly agile and very fast for it's size. It's a great fun toy and worth spending that bit extra compared to similar sized RC cars. Great fun...

I bought one of these for my 8yo son's birthday as he had seen the adverts on TV. It has become his all time favourite toy over the last 2 months. The car is small, and compact, ideal for racing around indoors. The car has been used nearly every day, no parts have broken, and the RC skills he has acquired have been so impressive he is after a Tamiya RC car from Santa to race outside.
The car is very popular in Japan, it has been designed by one of the leading Pro RC car designers at Yokomo and this helps make you realise why it is miles above the standard of the average toy RC car.
The car lasts a good 10minutes from every charge, which only takes 15-20 mins. The cars controller uses 2.4ghz, not infa-red or 27/40 mhz like most childs cars. So his friends can come over and race their cars all together.
The steering is digital, either straight forward, Full left or Full right. The throttle is digital proportional like professional RC cars. So the control of the throttle becomes crucial to control the rate of turn of the car.
The speed is amazing, faster than any TOY rc car available, even much bigger ones that cost £80 in Tescos.
Overall a fantastic car, very fast, very tough and incredible fun.. infact so good I had to treat myself to one.
The only maintenance I have ever done is to get hairs out of the axles with a pair of tweezers, as they can cog up in the front wheels and stop the car running straight. You can check by just spinning the front wheels, if they spin freely you are ok, if they dont, just pull out the hairs and spin the wheels. It takes about 2 mins and it hasnt happened very often over the last few weeks.

My nine year old son chose this little rc buggy after seeing it sponsoring Disney XD's Zeke and Luther programme. This tiny little remote control car can certainly reach great speeds and has enough power to be able to climb up homemade ramps and perform flips in the air. The main advantage is that the charging time is relatively low in comparison to the amount of play time a charge generates. (This charges in under half an hour and gives around 10-15 minutes of constant running time.)
The car is easy to control in terms of managing the controller itself which is pretty basic and self-explanatory. My son does find it pretty difficult to control the movement of the car accurately, however, as it is just so fast which makes it more difficult to position. Consequently, he struggles to co-ordinate it sufficiently to perform the stunts that he'd like to do with this.
In terms of age recommendations, I would advise purchasing this for children from around eight - twelve years old. Younger children would probably find this difficult to manoeuvre. It's also surprisingly small (much smaller than I'd anticipated due to the high price) and doesn't feel particularly robust although, admittedly, my kids have failed to break this as yet!
Given the high selling price, I don't feel that this is particularly good value for money. It's a fun little toy but the novelty value wears off quickly although the relatively quick charge time gives this an advantage over similar toys.
