We (by we I mean my 5yo son) discovered these like a week before Christmas so it was too late to make that happen. Then he got hurt Christmas day kinda bad... as we were there in the ER and he is crying his heart out... it gets to eating at me all he really wanted was "a little remote controller" and he didn't get one.
I got some money for Christmas myself and since he had been doing so well taking care of his injury I ordered him one. Not the one they had at the store (green Chevy truck) but the green Power Wagon. Has all the "overland accessories" he goes nuts over plus he is a huge fan of Matt's Offroad Recovery's wrecker which it kind of resembles.

He was flat out blown away, I don't know how many times he thanked me for it. He ran the wheels off the thing around the house over the weekend. He was even hauling ornaments from the Christmas tree one at a time in the back (spouting off about needing to fix the rear steer, a recent issue with MORR Wrecker)
Ran great for a day and a half. Now the lights work, the steering works but the thing doesn't move. I watched it die, it was just going across the living room floor and stopped.
It really irritates me, I guess burned out motors are pretty common. My SCX10 has been a tank, I figured they would make the smaller guys the same. So now its waiting on a new motor...
