Vehicle seems well built. My son really likes it . Says soft foam tires for better traction. But not any better than the hard plastic wheels. Run time is not very long. Long enough for a good time but with battery technology I think it could be longer. Not very powerful won't go up hill in grass bery well but does pretty good on the street uphill. Not sure why but only one wheel spins in low so its pretty useless. My son's rode on it and he loves it. So money well spent.
