My oldest is the only one in the family who has actually gone to a Monster Jam event when he was younger but this was still kind of cool for him even though he is a teen now.We were so surprised to receive this package on the porch and even more so when it was opened. My little 2 year old son just couldn’t contain himself and dubbed the r.c. El Toro Loco his “crazy truck!”Some things that stood out to me as a parent with this truck is that straight out of the box you could just go ahead and start racing it around the house.

My little 2 year old son just couldn’t contain himself and dubbed the r.c. El Toro Loco his “crazy truck!”Some things that stood out to me as a parent with this truck is that straight out of the box you could just go ahead and start racing it around the house. There were batteries included and it had a bit of a charge already to it so he wasn’t disappointed that he couldn’t play with it right away. The controller was small enough so it would fit in his little hands with no problem at all. I also like you charge the truck up rather than needing batteries but I would like that option if I don’t feel like waiting awhile to charge it.The only thing I should note as a small complaint is that the box says you can turn it into a ramp. For us it just didn’t do that very well and I feel if they really wanted a ramp they could get creative and make their own. It’s not a deal breaker since you’re not buying the truck so you can turn the box into a ramp.Overall this was a fun toy truck for all who played with it. It does take awhile to charge but seems to hold the charge for a good amount of time. No one was disappointed with it other than having to wait their turn and sometimes it’s “scary” for the little one. Once he gets on the couch and feels up to it then he will play with it on occasion. You can play with it outside but not as smoothly as you can inside and don’t expect it to do amazing stunts or anything too difficult. I’m thinking with nice weather approaching for us in Texas that we will be spending more time outdoors and will get that open space we need for everyone to enjoy the
