My son enjoys planning the obstacle course almost as much as driving the truck itself. He keeps coming up with new layouts.

My daughter keeps experimenting with different surfaces and asking why the truck handles some better than others.

We set up cones in the driveway and everyone had a go. My eight year old won by a mile and has been celebrating ever since.

It's easy to start driving, but getting around obstacles smoothly takes a bit of practice. My boy really enjoys that.

My son was delighted with the design and couldn't wait to see how it drove outside.

He usually wants to head straight for his games console. Lately he's been asking to get the truck out and practise his racing course instead.

It has a proper monster truck look and enough speed to make the races exciting.

My grandson brings it out whenever his cousins visit. They all take turns and argue about who has the best racing skills.

My daughter started a race and somehow all four of us ended up involved. We even made a little scoreboard.

My son was thrilled when he opened it.

We only use it in our driveway and other clear, supervised spaces. It's quick enough that I'd definitely keep it away from traffic.

We made a course around a few low obstacles and the kids had a brilliant time trying different routes.

It's one of those toys where everyone ends up wanting a turn.

My husband drove straight into the makeshift finish line and knocked everything over. The kids declared him disqualified.

My daughter needed help learning which way to steer, especially when the truck was coming towards her. She's much more confident now.

We brought it outside after dinner and spent a while racing on the driveway before it got dark.

Bought it for my niece who's into cars and trucks. She and her sister have been racing it around their driveway.

We keep finding new places to make little courses.

My son was using full speed for every corner at first. He's starting to understand that slowing down actually helps.

The cousins have decided everyone needs a driver name. Mine is apparently Slow Mom, which seems unnecessary.

His dad sent me a video of him racing it around the driveway. He was absolutely beaming.

They give it a proper monster truck look.

Bought it for my daughter's birthday and she spent most of the afternoon testing it in the yard.

My kids have invented delivery missions, obstacle races and a game where the truck has to rescue tiny toy animals.

He loves anything with wheels and enjoys the challenge of controlling a faster RC truck.

The truck was happier on shorter grass and firmer surfaces at our place. We just moved the course and carried on.

My son now provides his own commentary while driving. Apparently every corner is the most important moment in racing history.

Looks great and drives well for our backyard games.

My son calls it Thunder Beast. He's also given it an imaginary racing sponsor and insists it needs a proper parking spot.

My daughter has been practising slower turns and getting through little gaps without hitting the obstacles. She gets so excited when she manages a clean run.

My daughter and her brother took turns making up different driving challenges.

The grandchildren brought this over and turned our driveway into a racing circuit. My husband was out there helping within minutes.

Bought one for my grandson who's always asking for remote control cars. His mum says he's been having a wonderful time with it outside.

My boy puts on his baseball cap and announces he's ready for the race. Every single time.
