The car does reverse but the battery life is very short about 48 mins to be exact if that u can buy a extra battery from the manufacturer at a good price I had to buy one becuz my son loves it but it doesn't last as long as he wants to play with it other than that I love the lil car it's so cool

Yep, the car does reverse great with and without the tires turned and using the remote or not. Don't know about the battery life possibility of extension cause I want to increase my sons as well.

The car does have forward and reverse. The battery life depends on how much the child is using the music and all of the lights. Typically, children will not ride the car more than a few minutes at a time and then they take a break and come back later to ride again. We sell backup or replacement batteries for the car. The cost of the batteries is $39.99 plus $9.99 S&H.;

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

you connect the + plus side to your back up lights wiring cable you haft to find the 2 wires going to back up lights .Take back brake leinze or unit off to see the 2 wires going to back up light . one wire will be hot (voltage) when you put car in reverse .The other wire will be ground. the car chassis is ground so the screw you put in to the back up alarm and mount to frame will ground the unit. so all you need is the hot wire connection on light. so you may need a volt meter to measure witch wire is hot when in reverse hope this helps you .

I would like to know same: if used with car battery that is in the car (not taken out), does the car need to be running????????? Also, does anyone have an estimate of time it would take to charge?

Amazon has them for $20.99 with the charger, at the time of this comment. The vehicle comes with a battery and charger, FYI.

You I never actually received mine, witch is a bummer because I really wanted it. But I believe the don't come with a revers u might need to go for an electric one for that. Since it's gas n all it won't have a reverse gear.

I had the same thing happen. I don't recall what the issue was exactly (I was working an had a mechanic frien look at it). Turns out I had to get a new rear wheel assembly (under warranty). The new wheel worked for us. My initial thought was the battery wasn't charged enough, but it was a manufacturing issue. Hope this helps a bit. I would ask for a new wheel. I still have the old one (didn't have to ship it back. Makes me think they are well aware of the issue and don't want it either. Good news is I didn't have to pay to ship it back).

Thedood,Make sure the orange wire which is the Back up Camera Trigger gets 12 volts when you switch into reverse. Once the orange wire receives 12 volts it will automatically switch to rear view mode on the screen.

Yo man for me it takes 2hrs to fully charge a 2c 7000mh Lipo pack. Want this car to last? Upgrade ur fRont suspension make it stronger. And buy better shocks bc these will pop out. Oh and the servo will break edventually get a metal gear servo. ThIs buggy with upgrades 520 $ in this car so far for me

I agree with Kevin and Brett; at a certain current the motor will stop. I expect it will reverse if it's stopped at other than the down position. Has anyone had an operational problem? Mine normally work; but sometimes, if the passenger door is opened first, the driver side won't come down.

The screen is just dark with no input signal. If your backup camera is wired to your reverse gear lights then the monitor will only show a picture when the car is in reverse gear.

Hey what's goin in man! I got this car a few months back and it's a great starter car! Pretty fast! I would get some exta battery's! Just get the same one it comes with! If he seem to take an interest in it then you can spend some more cash to get some good ones! One thing you need to know when you first get the car the first time you charge the battery charge it for 8 hours straight even if the charger says it's done! If you don't the battery will only likes 5-8 mins good luck brother

To be honest bro if I had to do it over Id buy the more expensive car that's better quality. It doesn't drive all that well, and the battery charger already broke from just regular use after two weeks. I must say it is pretty fast for the price. But you get what you pay for. Good luck bruh

It should not drain your battery while your car is off unless you cigarette lighter socket is wired to your battery instead of a accessory fuse. Many cars before 1992 were like this. You could get it rewired, probably for under $20 depending on your location, or DIY, if this is the case. It shouldn't drain the battery very fast though unless you have an already bad battery.

Must be something wrong with the battery. I haven't had any issues with the little car. Other than I think it's smaller than I thought it would be.

This is the new transmission and does not have reverse. There is an option that you can install reverse but that makes the transmission not as strong. If you want anymore information you can do some research on the Traxxas website and other forums that are out there (I learned a lot and still am just had to put alot of my builds and mods on hold because of budget got a lil tighter).
