Nice car, poorly designed charging system.

This is a nice r/c car for kids. Bought it for my son (7 y.o.) for Christmas. The speed is a little bit fast for inside the house but not overly fast for outside. It's a good compromise speed, especially for younger kids. It does drive over grass well if the grass is fairly short and handles moderate obstacles well. Turning is finicky sometimes (sometimes it doesn't respond to the controller when you try to turn it). The battery life seems a bit on the short side to me, but we were using it outside in sub-freezing weather, so that will reduce battery life. My biggest complaint is the connector for the battery. You have to clip in into a small connector in the car and on the charger. The connection is hard to release and I foresee it getting torn up when attempting to release it. You have to remove the battery from the car every time to charge it, which is also a hassle. This car could be improved by having a better and more easy-to-release connector system for the battery and, best of all, by having a charger port on the outside so you don't have to remove the battery every time to recharge it.
