### 1/5 — Twin Sticks Crashes on i7+

*2017-07-28*

Twin Stick still closes app on i7+ with new update 😪😩😪😩

### 1/5 — Not worth $80. Trim FAIL. Rarely drives straight.

*2013-06-24*

For $80 this is a complete ripoff. I got it as a gift. Much appreciated but I do not recommend this. For starters, the car doesnt drive straight. There's a trim adjustment that helps a little but still, the car wont go straight for long. 

The lap counter/timer is nice but it would be nice if the app/car would keep record of distance traveled, let you create and name a timed event so it would keep best records. There's a lot more that could be done with the fusion of rc car and controller/app but for $80, this is WRONG.

### 1/5 — Ripoff!!!

*2012-12-30*

Car cost 90 bucks wish I could rate 0 stars 😡🔫

### 2/5 — Great but!

*2013-12-14*

Great but very hard to steer...
If you could reverse the steering & make it that you steer with the left hand & accelerate with the right hand,i would rate this 5 stars..
As is,i cannot control the steering properly & will not play this until it changes the controls...

### 3/5 — The car itself

*2013-06-19*

The car is defenitely not worth the 100$ it can't go up a like 35° slope and when turning at the max possible the wheels start to touch the plastic of the car and does not let the car turn overall not worth it

### 4/5 — Cockpits Control

*2013-05-29*

Please make all the lights buttons to be available in all cockpits control layout.  Thanks.

### 5/5 — Yeah, 64-bit!

*2017-06-14*

Still one of my favorite R/C car.   Nice to know I can still use it with iOS 11.

### 5/5 — SOOOO BEAST MODE

*2016-02-06*

This tiny car is packed with complete AWESOMNESSSSS!!!!!!
This car is a fantastic little machine and can do so much! I highly recommend it and it's worth the money

### 5/5 — IT'S SO BOSS

*2014-12-25*

YAY I GOT IT FOR X MAS WORTH BUYING😜👍:)

### 5/5 — Great functionality

*2014-04-13*

While the car may be expensive compared to other phone-controlled toys, this app is a standout feature that kind of justifies the price. The ability to access all of the cars effects, and TO COMPLETELY REMAP ALL OFF THE CONTROLS be it pads, sliders, gyroscope axes, is fantastic. While the human sound effects are somewhat annoying, and the app could look a bit cleaner, it works great.

As far as the car goes, that is great too, all the light effects, sounds, and precision control are things you don't really find in toys this size. They do charge the $90 premium for this though. The car seems is not as robust as I would like, and the charging connected is finicky, but those are my only cons
