Tornado RC Car Crawler

*EDIT* After leaving my first review I was quickly reached out to by the customer service team! They looked into my ticket and apologized for the delay, a glitch in the system had caused them to not be notified of my reply to their email with the data they requested. They reviewed it and sent out a replacement right away! It arrived quickly and my son is back to loving his favorite toy! I also received a hand written letter from the customer service agent who emailed me after my first review. It was verry thoughtful and a wonderful touch. All in all my son (and our entire household for that matter) love playing with this remote control car! It is by far my favorite that we have ever had, even with the malfunction! The customer service team was courteous, friendly, and responded promptly. They did what was necessary to make the situation right and went above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend this product. The product itself is small, great for indoors. Does lots of cool tricks, keeping kids entertained without just crashing into things. Has a rechargeable battery with a decent life span. It is also very easy to use, where as some trick cars are complicated and take some getting use to this is very straight forward. Great car, son loved it. It’s his favorite thing and he picked it out himself, he earned it by getting all A’s! After having the car for about 2 weeks it stopped working properly. I reached out to customer support. They emailed back quickly and started a “ticket” for the issue and we haven’t heard from them since which was almost 2 weeks ago now I think.

It's a super cool RC car. Speedy, maneuverable, and capable of turning into a tornado! The tornado effect looks fantastic especially in the dark. It is very visible with its lights. The car is also sturdy and can survive most impacts without a problem. This car needs fairly flat and level ground to do its best work. It can offroad somewhat, but at night when the grass is wet, it has difficulty getting far in the grass. It can right itself and free itself from most stuck positions, but really performs best on compacted dirt, small gravel, and paved surfaces. I also discovered it works really well on my trampoline, and a trampoline mat is a great shape and size for a combat robot arena. I may have a go at modifying the tires to make them taller and grippier. I think this car could hold its own in amateur RC combat! It can dodge like crazy and when it gets spinning, it can land some good hits. It also seems quite strong defensively, despite its mechanical intricacy. As mentioned earlier, it's survived some falls from waist height with no problem at all. This item will be a great gift, especially for people who have access to a lot of high-quality paved area to drive this on. I'm keeping mine and will be using it for some fun projects! I think I'll build some wooden tracks and ramps to go around my yard so it has a course to drive around in. It doesn't have much torque but it can definitely climb ramps.

This remote-control car is super fun and surprisingly fast. The LED lights make it look great, especially in the dark, and the kids love how it flips, spins, and drives on different surfaces without any problem. The battery lasts a good amount of time and the remote is easy to use. Definitely a great toy for kids who love action and movement.

I bought 3 right off the bat, 2 worked great, the 3rd one has some troubles. The gears got stuck, but we took it apart and found the issue was with the lubricant on the gears. Overall, they have worked very well minus the one mishap. The remote control was easy for even a 2 year old to figure out. Size and weight are great for little hands. The battery needed to be charged upon opening, but even after being on the charger for 10 minutes, it worked for well over 45 minutes. As a parent I will take that 45 minutes of freedom lol. Once you play around with the controller, we found more things that we could do with this toy. Great choice, kid approved.

Wow — what a fun toy! My child absolutely loves driving the Force1 Tornado LED RC Car. The dual-sided design means it keeps going even if it flips over, so the action never stops. The bright LED lights add serious “cool factor,” especially when playing in lower-light areas. The remote is easy to use, even for younger kids, and the car’s off-road rubber tires let it race across different surfaces without getting stuck. It is easy to use and is durable. Rechargeable battery and the ability to pull 360° spins and flips really elevate the fun. Overall, this RC car has been a hit it’s rugged, exciting, and full of stunt-action. This makes a great gift for the tweens and is priced perfectly.

This toy is super fun! Spins, flips, and its fast! Our favorite is when it does the "tornado" of course! Very sturdy so far, it has bumped into walls and furniture many times. Easy to get the hang of the controls on the remote. Batteries are rechargeable which is super important. We got the pink for my daughter and she LOVES it!

So much fun to play with! Its fast, super cool, and totally kids friendly. The LED lights make it look amazing in the dark and it spins and flips with ease. The remote is easy to use even for younger kids! Definitely must have!

*Update* Still a fun little gadget. Reason I went from a 4 star to a 3. The rubber wheels come off easily. Granted, I was using it to play with my dog but I guess I didn't realize they would come off until she had it in her mouth. And because of that, her bite bent the plastic wheel and the tire doesn't stay on for long. I'll try to look for something more sturdier. I mean, it was only $30(?) so I should've expected as much. I'll be sure to read the details for my next one. It still works so until then, I'll continue to play with it. Battery does last a while. I would say it can fit inside a frisbee to give you an idea on size. The screw on the car was already stripped which kind of sucked. I thought I'd have to return it because I couldn't unscrew it. I had to use a small knife and thankfully that worked. I really didn't want to go through that process. It works. It's fast. You have to use a little bit of tetris skills to get the rechargeable battery nicely seated in there. I actually bought this for my dog so for her entertainment but really for mine. She doesn't care much for it. She'll sniff and get close but once I move it, she runs from it making us both happy campers. Don't judge me. If you're dog is destructive, I wouldn't get it. I mean, you still could but that's on you. Learning the controls is a bit difficult at first. Your brain wants to automatically go forward with the left but really that just spins it and to go backwards with the right and that also spins in. You gotta use both buttons simultaneously to go forward and backwards. Backwards doesn't go backwards like it does forward which is annoying, it spins. Not sure if that's just mine or all of them are like that. You have to inch back just to go backwards otherwise you'll start spinning if you go too fast. I don't buy these things, it's my first one and I'm not a gamer so I wouldn't know if it's a similar set up in like Call of Duty or whatever. But for me, it's a bit difficult to wrap my head around. I'm sure with time I'll get use to it. Instructions does come with it but it's pretty self explanatory when you play around with it which is what I did.

Waste of money because this car was working perfectly for 1 month and then the side part of the car is not functioning no matter what I do please don’t buy I regret buying it now.😢
