Product Information

Full details

The Wilko Remote Controlled Colour-Changing Car is designed for children who enjoy interactive play and imaginative racing adventures. Its standout feature is the photochromic exterior, which allows the car to change color when exposed to direct sunlight, providing a dynamic visual experience during outdoor play. While it offers an engaging, magical effect for kids, potential buyers should note that the color-changing intensity is entirely dependent on sunlight exposure and may not be visible in indoor or low-light conditions.

FAQs

Does the car change color automatically?

Yes, the car changes color automatically whenever it is exposed to direct UV rays from sunlight.

Can this car be used in the rain?

No, this product contains electrical components and should not be used in wet or rainy conditions.

What type of batteries does it require?

Please check the battery compartment on your specific unit for the required voltage and battery size, as these can vary by production batch.

Can I use it on carpet?

The car is designed for smooth, flat surfaces. Thick carpets may cause the wheels to drag or prevent the car from moving effectively.

How do I maintain the color-changing finish?

Simply keep the surface clean and dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which might damage the photochromic coating.

Troubleshooting

The car is not responding to the remote.

Verify that all batteries are fresh and properly seated; check that both the car and remote power switches are in the ON position.

The car color is not changing.

Ensure the car is placed in direct sunlight. The effect requires UV exposure to activate and will not change under artificial indoor lighting.

The car moves slowly or stutters.

Check the wheels for hair or debris build-up and ensure the surface being driven on is flat and debris-free.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the car, insert fresh batteries into both the vehicle chassis and the remote control handset according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment. Ensure that the wheels are free of debris, such as hair or carpet fibers, to maintain optimal steering performance. After outdoor use, wipe the car down with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dirt. Do not submerge the car in water or allow it to be stored in damp areas, as this can corrode the internal electronics. When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries from both units to prevent leakage.
