This little Mini Cooper RC car is cute, fun to drive around your living room floor, and fast. It is a licensed model car which means that the level of detail is above average for a cheap radio controlled model automobile. If you have nostalgia for the British mini car and you are a fan of the Union Jack then this little toy wonder may be for you.
This Mini Cooper RC car has full mobility. It can move forwards and backwards and it has a fully functioning steering system. To ensure that your radio controlled car travels properly in a straight line there is also a steering alignment button located under the car at the front and center position.
The controller is your standard push button variety with two buttons on the left for controlling forward and reverse while the right hand side buttons manage the steering.
Just like any RC car there will be a need for batteries. The controller needs two AA batteries, while the car itself needs three AA batteries to run.
Although the Mini Cooper RC car has fantastic detail and a great red paint finish – my favorite feature is the Union Jack flag on the roof – there are no working lights. This is not surprising seeing that it only requires three AA batteries to run. Other than that the car looks so nice that it also makes a great desk ornament, at the office or at home.
I was pleasantly surprised when I took my little Mini Cooper RC for a spin on the floor of my basement. This little car can move quite quickly in either direction. The steering is quite good as well, making it ideal for high speed driving in confined areas.
If I had to rate this radio controlled car I would give it four stars out of five. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because of no working lights. Other than that it is a great looking car, with great speed and handling, is great to look at, and best of all, it is a cheap toy.
