There's a small learning curve to working this toy, but our testers found it worth their while to get it right. A couple of testers had trouble recording or accidentaly erased their first few videos before even watching them, and there's some trial and error findig the best ligthing conditions. But kids that persevered had a blast recording the car doing the Hot Wheel track circuit, or off track mounted on their bikes, or even attached to the dog's collar. The videos can be watched soundless on the car itself, or uploaded to your computer for the full effect (most testers needed some parental help doing this). Great fun!
