Just try to remember once you try to close it how many times it opens it has to close. If the door sticks it will click and then something is wrong where you have to gentle close it . Good luck **Q: What is the difference between this rastar i8 and the other 1/14 rastar i8 with asin # b01creah36?** A: The car had perfect control. Doors opening and closing using the remote. Even when my nephew who is just 3 forced the door to close/open manually, it did not malfunction later. Best part of this car is that it's highly responsive , and precise. If the car is moving in a circle, it traverses the same path again and again **Q: How long does it take to charge from 0% to 100% on the car?** A: About 1 to 2 hours depending on how many items are plugged into the outlet. Happy playing **Q: what material are the tires made of? plastic? rubber?** A: The tires are made of rubber. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome BMW!! *by R***U on December 28, 2025* Excellent product!!
