100% OF CHICKS DIG IT
Portable, tough, and lots of crashes
We received the Monster Jam 1:15 Smash and Bash Grave Digger RC and my son wasted no time opening it. It’s a good size, big enough that is feels exciting but still portable for him to bring to his grandparents. The controls seems easy for him to figure out, and he loves making it spin, and crash as it self fixes after. It does take 2 AAA batteries for the controller. It’s pretty durable when he crashes it into walls and kept him occupied for a while.
Lots of fun
Was a lot of fun playing with it and the grandkids. I only had two issues. On the packaging there was no mention of batteries only USB so I thought great. But once I opened it all up I noticed the remote needed 2 AAA batteries. Good thing I had some on hand. My other issue was getting the cord in ti charge the truck itself. It's a very small spot with parts almost blocking it. Maybe kids with smaller fingers will find it easier than adults. Other than that it was hit. The grandsons had no issues figuring it out and played for at least 2 hours and it still had not lost its charge. So thanks again or choosing us to be part of your product testing we had a blast
A hit in my house!
My 2 year old is obsessed with Monster Trucks, so naturally he was ecstatic to see this giant new toy "just for him"
To my surprise, it was just as exciting for my 5 and 9 year old girls and fun for the whole family!
My 2 year old had a little trouble with the remote but happily chased the truck around and loved watching it wreck and then pop back out.
My girls had a blast ramming and smashing it into things and then simply pushing a button and watching as it "fixed" itself. It was enjoyed by all 3 kids for quite a while and nice to have them all playing something together.
My biggest concern with it is for my walls 🙈 I'm not 100% sure I love the idea of encouraging them to smash it into everything and considering making it an outside toy but we will see how it goes as we use it more!
Great Fun for Kids
The Spin Master Monster Jam 1:15 Smash and Bash Grave Digger RC has been a big hit in our house! It looks just like the real Grave Digger monster truck, and my kids (ages 9 and 11) have had a blast building ramps and creating obstacle courses for it indoors. The crash mode feature is a standout as it adds an extra layer of fun to uncrash it by the push of a button. And don’t get me started on how hilarious it is when the truck tips over and still manages to spin around and keep going just like a real monster truck. The remote control is straightforward and easy to use, and overall, the toy delivers a lot of excitement. It doesn’t perform very well on grass, so we mostly keep it on hard surfaces inside. One small downside is that the steering buttons on the remote control require a bit of force to move, which might be tricky for younger children or kids with smaller hands. It runs on AAA batteries, so be prepared to keep a few extras on hand. All in all, this is a well-designed RC toy that encourages creative play and provides hours of fun for monster truck fans.
Love the 'Crunch' Factor
The Monster Jam Bash Grave Digger RC was a definite hit. Admittedly I was skeptical at first because when you touch Grave Digger's side they feel soft and a bit flimsy. The thing I was not thinking about was that the RC was designed like that so that when you run into an obstacle the front of Grave Digger crumples and crunches in...hence the 'Bash' in the name! The kids had so much fun running the RC into things and then 'de-crumpling' the toy. As far as function, the RC works and responds well, but the controls need a bit of getting used to, so it might be better for a slightly older child, in terms of steering. We definitely needed to use the function to adjust for the RC's tendency to steer to the left, but the function is there! Ultimately, Grave Digger RC is super fun and the kids love it. I would recommend it for anyone who has kids who love playing with RC's or Monster Trucks. I received this product for free in order to give my honest opinion.
Smash & Bash Is Our (Monster) Jam!
This has been a SMASH hit with our kids! They’ve spent hours making different jumps and obstacles for Grave Digger to take on, always ending with a smash or bash! It’s quite steerable and the effect of its crumpling up and smoothing out again is an extra fun element!
