This R/C car works. When i put 2 AAA batteries in. It didnt run because the two metal prongs that hold the battery snug were both broken. So i had to use two screwdrivers and twisted them towards the broken prongs until the car started running. The wheels were spinning and i grabbed my not original , but back up remote contol and tested how it functioned and i could tell it was fine. So this listing is for the remote control car only, the car works, but it will need some minor repair. Feel free to ask any questions.
