Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Hobby Lite Street Thrasher for its durability, affordability, and the fun factor it provides. It is a great gift for kids and adults alike, and it is perfect for racing with friends. While the battery life is a bit of a letdown, lasting only about 15 minutes, and it may not be suitable for off-road use, overall, customers are pleased with this RC car.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    First one shipped to us was broke upon arrival; best buy made return easy and quick shipment of new one. Battery pack can be tricky to get in and out of car. Charge doesn't last very long.

    This is a fair toy. It’s fast and easy to maneuver. Cons-body is flimsy and rechargeable batteries only last 15-20 minutes before recharging.

    Bought 2 of these Hobby Lite Street Thrashers for my grandsons and they have really enjoyed playing and racing the cars. Both of them are working well so far. If they were a little faster, would have given them a five star rating.

    This thing is fast! Just watch out what kind of surface you’re trying to race on. Got stuck in some larger gravel. Otherwise a lot of fun and really fast.

    I bought this car for my son for Christmas. We had full charge and it was really fast and fun to drive until battery died in less than 10 minutes. We charged it again and now it won’t start at all. I already returned the car and since my son loved it while it worked we will get another one and give it a second chance. I will write a new review once we get it and test it.

    Bought this for my grandson for Christmas. Pros: The car is a good size and sturdy. Also, the remote is easier for a young person to use due to the "steering wheel" vs. a joystick type lever. Cons: The speed control and the steering are NOT proportional. Either the care is at full speed or it is not. Either you are fully turned right or left, or you are straight.
