What are the speeds, and what ages/level is it meant for?

Probably 45 mph. Slow setting worthless. It was great for my 9 year old. He will be able to use it next year too.

My 9 yr old loves it for fielding, mostly in our hall INDOORS. As for batting, it is only good at close range in light wind. I do recommend this product for ages 7-12. It has 3 speed settings that range from soft toss to maybe 45 mph at close range. Great motor for the price. If you want to spend $$$, players and coaches rave about the Sklz hurricane 4 for batting.

when it works little league, farm(8) to minors(9,10) possibly first year majors(10).

When using the slow speed setting the ball falls way short. Fast speed work much better (can't tell you exactly but hitting the balls will be a challenge even for grown ups. It is really meant for ages 5 and up. Not great accuracy or consistency but you can make it work.

About 20 mph, fast enough!! My 9 year old daughter absolutely LOVES it! My 12 year old is very envious!

Very fast, not sure how to describe the speed, it is fast enough that you can build a ramp and it will jump it. It is not the same as a R/C racecar, but this is plenty fast and good for a child up to maybe 12 or 13.

The box says 7+, but you CAN use it with younger kids. We have a center with at least one student who's younger and it's helpful with keeping his attention. The game is best played with kids around 9 or 10, though, if you want to play full speed! It's a REALLY fun game. Easy and quick. I've bought three sets now! Spend a little extra and get the tin - it's neater than the box.

It can be used for baseball and it will throw slow for the younger kids. Maybe 15 mph? Not as slow as you throwing underhand in a soft toss motion, say to a 4 or 5 year old.

I would say its for kids 2 to maybe 5 (possibly 6). Definitely not older than that. 8 years old...that is ridiculous!

My 7 yr. old grandson drives it and has plenty of room and speed to grow into. I would strongly recommend this for any kid under 16. It has plenty of speed for the older kid but still safe for the younger ones.

I would say ages 3 or 4 and up. I've seen videos online of kids ages 10-12 playing it.

There are two brushheads and speeds. One is blue. It's for big kid 7 and up with regular head size for young kids. The other one is red. Which is smaller (1/2 a size of the blue one). It is for kid about 4 years old with a slower setting program. My little almost 2 years old boy has been playing with it. But I think he too young for it and it didn't hurt him at all.

It's quite fast, too fast for our kids to play with indoors. It's fun and seems well made compared to other RC cars/trucks, but the RC range is limited to about 40'-50' I would say so whoever is driving it needs to keep walking or running to keep up with it.

It can go pretty fast and makes sharp turns & spins but I say with a helmet and supervision it's fine. I have 4 boys ages 6-10 & they love these!!

Its fine for a 7 year old. Learning curve to drive might take a bit, but its not super fast, and it seems fairly durable. Its good at going over stuff and the kids had fun creating little obstacle courses for it. Its as big as a loaf of bread. Hope that helps.

My kids are 5 and 8. I have had to adjust mine a few times to get the right balance of fun and safety. In addition to a more gradual slope, I put a little extra slack in the line which also slows them down. I just ordered the brake from Slackers for 29.99. I did not see it here on Amazon.

The manufacturer says 5 and up, and I would have to agree. It has some small parts that could be easily swallowed by younger children. It also took us a few tries to get the transformation correct, but my son picked it up much more quickly than I did! :)

It goes about 10-15 miles per hour. Fast enough that it is fun but not too fast that the kids can't control it. Also, it handles waves really well, even at speed. Purchased it for the grandkids but I am having fun with it too. It's a great beginner to begin-intermediate boat, I would say. For sure get an extra battery.

I think 7 and up. My daughter plays with it with very little assistance and she is 7 years old :). My 2 year old like to play with it beside his sister. He is almost 3 but it is too difficult for him to move the part and state the commands on his own.

Our 4 year old nephew flies on it downhill. We also have a 26 year old brother who races our boys (ages 11,12,13). I would say any age above 3. You can always keep them on flatter terrain until old enough to go fast.
