Great fun right out of the box, with a catch., By Ron Morris "Ron Morris"

The kit being sold here on Amazon does come with a charger and battery too, by the way (there is some conflict in the description about whether it does or not). The charger, however, does not come with instructions as to how long you should charge your battery. I did a little research and found that the 1200 mAH pack provided needs about 10 hours at the rate that this charger provides.
The only downside that I see with this car is that it has a lot of plastic parts, and it goes really fast. You do the math. Now, Megatech manufactures replacement parts, both original and hop-ups, but they are very expensive for what they are, especially when compared to other brands of R/C cars (about one and a half to two times competitors' replacement part prices).
Today, my son was driving the car and the bottom spring clip came off the front shock, somewhere. I don't have it, so now it looks like I'll have to fabricate something for it.
All in all, I'm pleased with the product. I never would have dreamed that a car at this price would be so fast and fun. You just have to be careful with it, and expect to pay a lot if you break it.
Fast, fun and durable, but avoid gutters at all costs!, Fun: Educational:

Durability:
This car will really surprise you the first time you fire it up. It has lightning acceleration, and a top speed that would have dogs and bicycles eating its dust. It's a blast to play with. Durability:
I only just got this car three days ago, and had to wait until we had a dry day, but today I finally got to try it out - wow! It is pretty crazy fun stuff. It's very fast (rated top speed out of the box is 25 mph - I don't know if it makes that or not, but it is definitely fast.) I also found it to be durable as I sure had some spectacular crashes quite a few times and, while ending up with some scrapes, it is working perfectly still. Then, in what can only be described as a moment of true horror, it was driven straight into a gutter! Poof! - it disappeared. I was pretty distraught for hours afterward but later, in a moment of inspiration, I ran down the cellar and fashioned a "fishing line" out of some sort of gear in my kids tackle box that I have no idea what it is for - a piece of rope with a long aluminum piece on the end which I bent into a crude hook, went gutter fishing and managed to get it back! I can't tell you how happy I was right then - and the car, though disheveled, was still working great. This is a fantastic little radio control car. Highly recommended, but do yourself a favor and keep it away from gutters. Durability:
This R/C car bombs. I bought it just to have a little fun, but was blow away to see how fast it goes. The included charger takes 10 hours to charge, so you'll want to pick up the fast charger which is around. If you can drop the money, its worth it!
