This car is so cool! It has a normal remote controller, but also has a controller that wraps around your palm - and that was very impressive! The car has two modes - one drives lower to the ground, while the other raises the car up (more like a lifted vehicle.) It can also drive side to side, while the wheels are still in the normal position (due to the extra rollers on the tires.) It lights up and flashes, and also has a demo mode where it does all the tricks while playing music. It comes with two rechargeable batteries (so the fun doesn's have to stop when one battery is charging,) and two charging USB cords. It does need a few AA batteries for the remote, which are not included. We are really pleased with this purchase, and would definitely buy it again....
