I bought this as a birthday gift to my self, not having much experience with this type of car made it very exiting. Unfortunately my birthday is located at the same time of year as the snow and ice outside, so it went a few rounds on the livingroom floor before I decided I had to take it outside on the ice..
The radio-controller offers 3 speed settings with the button located left of the throttle: low(more child friendly)-medium(very fun)-high(bat s**t crazy!) Do not use high-setting inside on the floor between furniture with rubber tires!
I found the middle setting to be enough on a small floor inside, turning and “giving all she got” turns the car nicely around on the wooden floor, but outside on asphalt the high-setting offers pretty much what you want, high speed and great performance, max speed almost instantly with the 4WD and rubber tires.
The car does more than drive around the corner on a track, you also get plastic wheels offering drifting capabilities in low speed manner, but don’t get to comfy on the straight track, when the turn comes, you better be ready, those plastic wheels offer little to no friction and to quote the famous Norwegian rally driver:

Would I recommend this car to anyone? Not for young kids without prior experience at least, this is a fast car able to not only damage it self, but also your toes and leg(ask me how I know.. 😂) I haven’t become friends with the ESP function, so I have it turned to minimum. But other than that, it’s a very fun car offering lots of fun until the battery is drained!
