Hi, bought my 4 year a nikko nano vaporizr 2 for his 4th birthday, unfortunately, despite trying different batteries, straight out of the box it doesn't even work.
It was bought from toys r us so no point trying to get a refund from there, does anyone know if nikko have a contact email as google not helping, I think the problem is the receiver and car don't connect as the car will sometimes go forward a bit then nothing


If not can anyone recommend a radio control car suitable for a 4 year old? ie, robust, good off road but not too fast?

Nikko, Tyco & Taiyo are all well established brands. My boys had a "Tyco Wild Thing" from when they were about three years old, which put up with any amount of abuse. As I recall it cost under £20 in 1995 when we would have bought it.



There was a lever on the bottom to allow selection of a low or high range gearbox, which allowed top speed to be limited.

These buggies with suspension handle better, and cope with jumps, yet are still very robust. Running into kerbs is what damages them, so if you can find an empty tennis court or similar that helps.

As the other poster says, try Nikko first, they are well established and won't want a disgruntled customer.
