I drove it for a few seconds before putting the battery on the charger. The battery didn't have enough juice for wheelies or 360 spins, but it did indeed get up to 9mph.

The tires are very hard. So on smooth surfaces they will struggle a bit for traction.

This version is different from the original which I had read about. The first version you have to remove the body to load the battery and the antenna stuck out of the body which caused some to damage the antenna.

This one the battery loads in the bottom. Two slide locks and a screw hold the battery door (which has a rubber seal) in place.

The vehicle has more heft to it than I was expecting. That makes me doubt a bit the 30-40 minute runtimes Ive read about. The 6v pack is no bigger than any other ive seen, and given that the speed is good as is the torque I don't see how it could give that kind of runtime unless it were lighter. But Ill know later today after running it with a fully charged pack.

did I mention that this model clearly stated the Actual speed and the radio distance (normal and on water) on the box? Not some random scale speed either, it says 9.3mph. 66' range in the open, 33' range on water or indoors. Those are indeed short range, but considering the antenna is hidden inside the body and top speed is 9mph I don't think the range is going to be a problem. Im sure it can only go a couple of MPH on water so 30' should be fine.

The price for this thing most places is $50. But on amazon it was $30.
