This Amphibious Remote Control Car is quite powerful. It really moves on a flat surface. It is amphibious and runs the same in the water. It is the perfect remote car for running obstacles and performing flips. This car also has the capability to shoot water up to 30 feet. We have tried it out on the ground and it is impressive as it does its stunts. We have yet to try the water. That will be coming in a week or so. If this remote car is as fun in the water as it is on land, it might be great to get another one to have water battles.This is an awesome remote control car. It would make a great gift for a friend or loved one....
