Circuit 1/10 Stadium Truck Gray Review

Circuit 1/10 Stadium Truck Gray
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought two of these for my 8 and 13 year old boys for Christmas. They have been driving them around like crazy. These are very durable except for the body which sticks out past the bumper. The 8 year old crashed his at full speed into the mail box post and cracked the body but it is only cosmetic damage, it still runs and handles great. The top speed is plenty fast enough for the beginner and is a huge jump up from your typical Target or Walmart type RC car. The suspension is great too. It turns sharp and handles bug jumps. If you buy this go ahead and get a charger and spare battery. The charger that comes with it takes 6 hours to recharge the battery and it runs for 10 to 15 minutes. I also found a good video review at http://www.youtube.com/user/UltimateRCnetwork?feature=mhum#p/u/2/Aface54yiqY
Pros:
Very Durable Chassis
Fast and fun to drive
Good Suspension
Cons:
The Battery charger takes 6 hours to recharge the battery
Can drive out of radio range pretty fast.
Body sticks out past the bumper (I found aftermarket bumpers at t-bone-racing.net for $10 to protect the body)
Overall I'm very pleased with the cars, and my boys are having a blast.

Drive out loud with the Circuit?, a true ready-to-run vehicle that comes with absolutely everything included in one box. You read that right, everything’s included—right down to the AAs. You’ll love the powerful Dynamite® 20-turn motor and beginner-friendly snap-lock battery system.

Without a doubt, this rugged stadium truck is easy to use, but it’s also hard to abuse. It’s built from a strong, durable nylon composite material. You can customize the body with the included decal sheet. And thanks to the standard components and mounts, you can hop the Circuit up with additional bodies, tires, and parts and accessories.

1:14 Scale Radio Control Full Function Hummer H3 Silver - 27 MHz Review

1:14 Scale Radio Control Full Function Hummer H3 Silver - 27 MHz
Average Reviews:

I've purchased this one to race with my kid (that was a primary reason to purchase a 27MHz unit - to avoid an interference with the other which is 49MHz). This truck is rather fast and maneuverable. The operational range is also rather impressive. The only disadvantage I can think of is that the battery only holds a charge for 20-25 min max so you might want to bring some other toys with you.

Carrera USA Digital 132, Chevrolet Camaro Concept, Super Stocker II Race Car Review

Carrera USA Digital 132, Chevrolet Camaro Concept, Super Stocker II Race Car
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Carrera makes one of the best looking and finest performing slot cars that you can buy. This 1/32nd scale model is the perfect size where space is somewhat limited for running a decent size track. A big plus is that these cars also look great while sitting on the shelf waiting for a turn on the track. Realistic looking, this model is a pleasure to watch, if you can move your head quick enough as it races by!

Maisto 1:16 off Road Radio Control Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Review

Maisto 1:16 off Road Radio Control Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

(More customer reviews)
In the words of my son (5 years old - I transcribed his words) ...
"It's more powerful than we thought and it drives through dirt and it goes on the back slope, if you don't mind getting a stick in the front wheel, maybe the rear one. It also has rear view mirrors that reflect. It can drive over your patio and it can get down the bump of your doorstep. And if you have rugs in the house, that are not too rough, then it can drive over that too. And it can drive around your family room rug and it can drive on your kitchen tile floor. And it can bump around your house and it can bump your toys."
Mom says: All in all, this was more fun and more powerful than we thought and expected it to be ... we would recommend it!
Dad says: This was pretty fun - much faster than I thought it would be, and it took lots of full speed head-on crashes right into walls and cabinets without any trouble. We will follow up on this review if it breaks any time soon, but so far so good - it's passed the 5 year old test! It does use up a lot of batteries, but I think they all do - this one may use more since it's pretty fast and we ride it on the carpet a lot, which I'm sure uses more power than flat tile or concrete.

Maisto 1:14 Off Road Radio Control Hummer HX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was my first foray into R/C ground vehicles. It is a great starter truck. A couple short-comings that I will look for on my next one are proportional steering, proportional throttle, and better torque. This truck has plenty of speed for indoors, and that is where I have run it most of the time. It has a lot of bang for the buck, I guess the next one will have to be more bucks! :-)

Maisto R/C Rock Crawler Review

Maisto R/C Rock Crawler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To correct the description, it actually needs 6 AA batteries.
I wanted an inexpensive off road R/C vehicle that didn't cost much over $100. I'm not planning on racing, just something for the yard and driveway. Well, this fit the bill perfectly. It will crawl over grass, sidewalks, sand, small animals, almost anything that gets in it's way. It does exactly what you think those cheap R/C trucks SHOULD do but don't. I drove it in the rain and through shallow water and it did great. The only downside so far is the whine of the motors but it probably geared to heck to do all that it does. I paid less for it at Wally World so shop around.
+ two motors
+ true four wheel drive
+ AA batteries (not some battery pack that is hard to find)
+ good value for the money
+ good tires and suspension
- motor/gear whine
