Radio Controlled 1:14 LICENSED NISSAN 350Z

   Speed
3/5
You’re not going to be winning races against the best cars with this but it’s not exactly crawling along, a fine speed for the type of car that it is, about the speed of an adults pretty fast walking pace.

•    Handling
 4/5
Brilliant handling with this car and does exactly what you’d expect, although you won’t be skidding around corners sideways it is a very realistic car like driving experience, just with a remote there’s also the ability to adjust the angle of the car underneath if you find it pulling to one side, or your racing on an oval track.

•    Looks
 5/5
superb looking car with amazing detail, including chromed double exhaust at the rear, fully functioning stylish head and rear lights, full detail interior right down to the gearstick and CD player, realistic spoiler, great alloy style wheels with coloured brake callipers, detailed manufacturer and model logos right down to “Nissan” on the wheel nuts. Overall a beautiful remote control car.

•    Price
2.5/5
For my likings this car is a bit overpriced for the car that your getting, but I’m a pretty cheap guy, you’d struggle to find anything as good as this car for anything cheaper so probably a harsh rating.

•    Control Range
 3/5
No real complaints in this section, but nothing to write home about either, decent enough range and control as you’d expect with a car of this style of car.

•    Battery Usage
 3/5
As with all of our tests we were using the same very cheap batteries in this case 5 AA batteries in the car and 1 9V in the controller, after about an hours time the performance and ability of the car did distinguish, but after a short rest it did work fine again for a while, overall reasonable enough use of the batteries.

•    Controller
4/5
Uses 1 9V battery good forward and reverse motion through one finger, reasonable looks and a simple easy turning mechanism, styled like a car wheel with soft tire grip nicely weighted, not to sharp and not to stiff.  Very nice moulded grip for ease and comfort, Overall a decent controller.

All in all this Nissan 350Z is a brilliant RC car, amazing looks, reasonable speed great control and a price that’s not too shabby I wouldn’t recommend it to the hardcore speed freak but superb car for the younger kids aged anything up to 13, or for someone just looking to have a lil’ play about or for something not to frightening.
