Our six year old son has been bugging us for a while to get him a remote controlled vehicle. Having previously bought the Snap Circuit Jr. set and been thrilled with it, my wife and I decided to purchase this as his gift for Christmas. My thought was "if you want a remote controlled vehicle, you're going to build it yourself, kiddo." His aunt purchased the UC-90 upgrade kit as her Christmas gift for him, so it worked out great as far as money spent, as the Deluxe Rover close to $100. The kit is amazing. You have to read the inserts in the project manual for information regarding wiring as some of the wires are about a 1/2" too short it seems. Now, after a week of terrorizing the dog with this thing (the son, not me), the unit quit working. Batteries were good, so that left one of the over 100 parts to troubleshoot. The project manual gives you specific projects to build as a diagnostic tool to track down a faulty part. This is an important and well-thought out component of the instructions. I did the tests, and found out the Deluxe Receiver was not longer working. So, I called the company, and talked to an actual person for a brief second and was then transferred to the voice mail of Parts Department where I had to leave a message with my name, address, and the part I needed. So I left the message, thinking "eh, I'll have to explain that I tracked everything down, that my kid didn't wire it wrong, etc.". Nope. I got a call a couple days later saying that the part was on its way. A week and two days after I called, I had the part, and we're back to terrorizing the dog and learning about resistors and capacitors.
The rover itself is actually pretty cool. Doesn't drive too fast. A bit loud. Easy to drive. In my opinion, a nice balance of science project and recreational vehicle.
Can't say enough about my positive experience with this product and the company. Well done!

Great STEM
My son had the regular set of snap circuits and loves them. He saw this rover and instantly wanted it. He got it for his birthday and has built and rebuilt it many times. Everything works perfectly, he drives is all over the house, and I love that he can do this on his own or we can do it together. The only downside is that when he reverses it, it makes an annoying beeping.
