Maisto Baja Beast (Colors may vary)


Fast & Rugged
Fast car, lot of fun outdoors. It went through pretty thick grass better than I expected, but it's made for harder surfaces. Driving up a dirt hill is fun, the wheels spin out once they lose traction, which is better than not having ehough power.

You can take the top cover off similar to a real Baja car with little pins. Battery worked good, no issues. Mt dogs are a little wierded out by it ;>br/>
Really Fun!
This is one of the best toys ever! Even though I got the wrong model (I got the original instead of the improved model) it is still very fun. After a while, some parts broke off when it did a few jumps that flipped upside-down and failed. Also, the tube that holds the antenna up looks like a piece of trash, so it got thrown away. The charge is 8hours the first two times, and 5 hours after that, so I am getting another battery at
[...]
and another charger at
[...]
that charge is not a con, or a pro, because it makes it so that it keeps your interest,but it makes you set a schedule to unplug it at the right time.

Details:
12 min. run time
5 hour charge
very powerful;not for speed
speed of 10-11mph (as fast as most people can sprint)

Pros:
5 hour charge
really fast
fun

Cons:
Can't get a grip on dusty surfaces
Some parts look like trash
5 hour charge
No automatic shut-off on charger
A Kid's Review
F U N ! !

After a lot of web research, i bought the baja beast and it's sibling, the coyote for my father in-law's 70th birthday and his grand kids. As i was test driving the coyote the day before the birthday, i inadvertently drove it down a full flight of stairs!! my heart sank as i sensed my wife's impending rebuke. BUT, when i got to the bottom of the stairs it wasn't even scratched! the cars are built with highly elastic bumpers that protect the more rigid workings of the car. the wheels have significant independent suspensions that also help cushion falls. i was really impressed and relieved.

the battery life is about 20 minutes depending on how heavy you are on the throttle. have attempted to order spare batteries but they are not yet shipping. they are both plenty fast. we drive them on pavement and they are very responsive in handling and acceleration. in fact they both are adept at donuts.

the coyote has narrower tires that allow it...
