Our verdict

A large RC monster truck that roars, lights up and recharges over USB. The listing contradicts itself on whether the AAA batteries are included, and there is no manufacturer warranty.

Overview

A kid steering a roaring monster truck gets lights and sound effects in three play modes: Hunt, Smasher and Guard. It runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and comes with a USB cable and remote.

Children get an interactive truck that reacts to hits and bumps with lights and noises, which suits imaginative play. The AAA batteries are listed as both included and not included, so keep spares nearby.

Who it's for

A child of five or older gets a big, loud truck with a creature mode. Parents who want a quiet toy or a manufacturer warranty should look at other options.
