Q: I purchased this for my grandson and he loves it. Is there something that should be locking the battery door inplace (under the truck)? It keeps falling off and now we can't find it.

submitted by Granma Gray - 1 year ago

Q: is it off road like muding

submitted by Runoff River Adventures - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi RRA, the Heavy Metal Jeep Gladiator has all wheel drive so it can tackle uneven terrain, but it is not water resistant, so we can't recommend that you run it through mud puddles. But rocks, gravel, and other bumps in the road are fine! If you have further questions, please contact one of our product experts at 1-877-NBI-TOYS (1-877-624-8697), Monday-Friday 8:00 AM-5:00 PM EST. Kind regards, AF from Team NB

    DIYer - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Has an integrated battery. When it dies, that's the end of your fun until you get it charged up again. It also doesn't have a great run time. After some light usage it started falling apart and not working right. We wound up throwing it out and getting a more durable one.

    The charging cable lid won't fit tightly and keeps falling off and the cable gets dragged. We're managing with a cello tape. Totally faulty design of charging cabling. Cello tape saves the day.

    The run time is typically between 15-25 minutes depending on the type of terrain it is being driven on and the vehicle. If it has a lot of extra features this can affect the battery life as well. Sincerely, SB from NB

    Broke within one day of normal use. Sucks that toy companies won’t make quality. (Of course it is only $20 but should have some life and play in it!) Second rc from “new bright” that we’ve returned. Other was the larger and more expensive bronco. Will never buy from this brand again
