Vehicle does not travel through snow well because it sinks in. Vehicle does float and can driven in a pool or lake as long as its calm. Gave it 4 stars because the screw that holds the battery cover is small and almost too short and does not hold the cover on tight enoughNOT so much... It is well built and has a cool look but it simply does not do what is advertised, its slow to stop on a lawn it goes very fast sideways but not at all forward and backward, haven't gone in water yet, but considering the lawn, I'm thinking it won't get off the beach! My 7 year old LOVES rc toys and his first reaction was "Dad, it doesn't really do what the commercial says" which in my book is an epic Christmas fail. Also the charge to play ratio sucks and it got "stuck" in forward on the first day (it did self correct eventually). If I could return it I would but the screws got so beat up on the first go around on the sidewalk that there is no way they will take it back. Too good to be true.It is a really cool toy for me, the grandpa, but my grandson got bored with right away and left it out in the rain. Now it goes all directions but forward. Otherwise, I thought it was pretty cool and will find it a more appreciative home with someone who does care if the go forward!Seems to be heavy duty , so far we are happy with it .Does everything it says it supposed to . And for some of the comments I read , no it will not go in a straight line , it can't .Actual terrain twister is well built, but the remote control broke within the first hour of my son using it. We returned and opted for a refund vs a replacement as we did not want the same thing to happen again. Loved the idea and I'm sure would have had hours of fun if the remote hadn't broke.We bought the red and blue for Christmas. Our children love them. The only downside is that they sink into thick mud and light snow. Not as all terrain as we had hoped.Not as great as it looks on TV. We've had this toy for about a year and my 7 year old has lost interest very quickly. It doesn't crawl over everything and mostly goes in circles.Doesn't float well, too heavy, the pontoons fill with water over time. The remote buttons are very finicky. It was fun at first now it's just annoying to play with. My son gets very frustrated with it.
