Product Description Tear it up with this high-performance all-terrain R/C vehicle that works on land, mud, snow and even water. The Terranator is six mean vehicles in one - street car, off-road 4x4, dragster, swamp buggy, snowmobile and speedboat. Four huge pneumatic monster tires means it can tackle just about any terrain. Tread across the land, then take flight with the touch of a button. It also features a composite hull design for superior water skimming and a turbo-charged engine for extreme performance.
Amazon.com Product Description XPV stands for Xtreme Performance vehicle and this radio controlled car is certainly living up to its name. Bringing the pain to all terrain, the Super Terranator is a remote control vehicle for any season, as it performs equally over land, water, mud, and snow. It also has some impressive numbers: two engines, 4-wheel drive, 12 volts of juice, up to 15mph, and working range of 150 feet.  | | This RC marvel tears up land, water, mud, and snow for extreme performance. |
The ability to conquer almost any terrain, means the Terranator is actually five vehicles in one. With huge, knobby tires and a unique water skimming hull, this RC is a street car, dragster, snowmobile, 4x4, and swamp buggy combined into one awesome vehicle. The bold orange and black color and a design influenced by real stealth planes give the car an appearance appropriately matching its fierce capabilities. The XPV Super Terranator comes ready to play with a rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery, a full function two-channel controller, and one 9v battery for the controller.

Awesome speed and power, but controller range is bad Posted 08 January 2008
This is one of the funnest RC cars I've driven. It is very fast and powerful. It drives great across just about any surface. It can even get some good air off a hill in our yard. I'm having a blast driving it with my kids, but ...
I'm returning it for an exchange. I noticed that my kids were chasing the car as they drove it around. We discovered that the controller has a range of only about 30 ft. As soon as it goes out of range it loses control. I've tried fresh batteries and fresh charges, but no real difference.
I hope Amazon will honor the exchange even though the vehicle is quite beat up from many crashes and rolls (it is very durable!!!).
Fun While it Lasts Posted 01 January 2008
This is a REALLY FUN toy - for about 10-15 minutes. Then you're carrying it home. I don't know if this is typical for RC cars, but for 3-4 hours charging, I expect more than a few minutes of run time.
Like others have mentioned, the cosmetic "roll bars" come off too easily, and the tube encasing the antenna bends and eventually breaks off when the car flips - which is pretty often until you learn how to control it reliably. Also, the cover over the charger is kind of a pain to unscrew with adult-sized fingers. Those are pretty minor complaints though.
This is a toy that could get 5 stars with an improved battery.
Excellent RC Car - Great FUN! Posted 30 December 2007
My 5 year old received this as a gift this year. On Christmas Day, we were outside and he was running this car up and down the street, over the snowbanks, flipping it, and having great fun. It was very surprising to see the poor reviews. We have only run it three times now, but the charge outlasted our tolerance to the cold (15 minutes) each time! And it is durable - he has flipped it over numerous times, run it through puddles, and boy does it fly! My husband got in trouble with it on Christmas day, trying to use it in the house - it is definitely NOT an indoor toy! I highly recommend it.
