Ok let me explain a little more maybe. I'm not too familiar with any of it. My dad got this as an xmas gift when HE was just a child, but it was his worst xmas because right after getting this toy rc car his dad took it away and gave it to his brother. I just wanted to get him kne to change his memory of this event.I literally know much of nothing other than the info I posted due to not being born yet, lol. I'm guessing it only turned when in reverse? I just thought this was an rc site and that maybe someone cld give some helpful suggestions.
