I bought this battery powered car for my son when he was four years old. He had so much fun with it but as he grew up in age and actually getting taller by the minute, he no longer uses that car. It does not fit him anymore.

My son decided to donate this car to anybody interested in getting such a car.

My 3 years old nephew came to our house and saw the car and wanted it so we decided to give it to him but there was a problem with it. Since this car was not used for almost a year, I had to charge it and once it was charged and ready to go, it was driving on its own. When I put it in forward or backwards settings and without pressing the paddle, it goes on its own.

I took the seat off and I exposed the inside computer system there, it was clean and as you can see, the battery voltage was steady.

When I checked the paddle of the car, it was a little bit dirty so I did some cleaning and lubrication but it did not fix the problem.

This is the forward and back up setting of the car.

You can either go forward or backward and if it was set to the middle, it can be controlled by a remote control.

There was a three position switch beneath that plastic and it was hard to get to. I sprayed the switch with a lubrication spray and noticed that the control on the car was getting better but it did not get to a complete control so I decided to replace the switch with a better one.

It was not an easy task replacing the old switch with the new one due to the size and the way it was attached to the car but I managed to screw it back on.

I first tested it with a remote control and worked fine then I let my son take the car for a spin and it was working fine too.

It was not comfy sitting in a small car but he managed to drive it. I saw a sad look on my son’s face because he loved that car but it was time to move on.

Mission accomplished.
