New Bright (1:10) Bigfoot Battery Remote Control Blue Monster Truck with Lights, Sounds, 61086UEP Child

We have two of these, one from over a year ago and one we just bought last month. The older ones wheel came loose, however my kids play pretty rough with these so I was not completely suprised. We have got plenty use out of them and play with them two to three times a week.

Best present ever for a 6-year old! Got this Bigfoot 4x4x4 RC Monster Truck by New Bright for my 6 year old son and he absolutely loves it! It has all the special effects that a kid would love - it’s huge, it makes sounds, AND has lights. The 1:10 scale puts the monster truck at roughly 16” long, 10” high and 12.5” wide – pretty big for a RC vehicle. The monster truck has big foam tires, I was put off by them at first but then realized that for off terrain roading, eg grass, hills, dirt, etc, the foam tires greatly help with the suspension on the vehicle and make it great fun for the kids. My son took the monster truck to the neighborhood park and all the kids were fighting over driving it. The remote itself if pretty simple. It has 2 buttons – start/mute to start the engine sound and mute it if necessary, and an engine button that revs the engine, eg makes it light up and shake, and 2 controllers – right left and up down. I wish the controllers were 360 vs just right left and up down so you could maneuver better but for a 6 year old, what the monster truck has is more than adequate. This comment is more so for the adults who also like to have fun with this. The remote needs 2 AA batteries that the package comes with. The vehicle itself is rechargeable via a USB-C. I wish the monster truck had a batter indicator light so you knew when the battery was dying down and had to recharge it. The truck died at the park with no indication whatsoever and it was a huge disappointment for all the kids who were waiting their turn. That being said, the truck was also used for a good while and was not fully charged. The other annoying thing about the truck is that both the remote and the vehicle covers you need a screwdriver to open the cover. It is not exactly necessary but they use it to keep the covers intact. You could probably get away with not having the screw in place at all. Overall, the vehicle drives well and is a huge hit with younger kids. Also love the decal and detailing on the vehicle – Ford decal, the roll bar can be used as a handle to pick up the vehicle with, etc.
