Traxxas Slash 2WD RTR 1/10 Electric Race Truck with 7-Cell Battery & Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are a lot of things that can be said about the hobby of RC, but affordable and durable generally aren't words used to describe it. That's changed with the Slash. The only thing required that isn't in the box is a battery and battery charger.
If you're a 'basher' rather than a serious racer or just a newcomer, this is the truck for you. It even has settings on the included radio for training which limit the total throttle input. The tuning, if you're into that, is adequate and allows for changes in the handling to suit your style without investing any additional dollars (though there are a a LOT of after-market hop-ups out there made specifically for this vehicle).
I received my Slash right before winter set in, a time when all the rest of my nitro RCs are hibernating! Not so with the Slash. It provided entertainment throughout the winter season. While it's not a snowmobile, it is a LOT of fun in the snow. 'Wet' runs like that are made possible by its waterproof electronics package (servo and ESC). This type of wet running isn't really possible with nitro RCs for many reasons, not the least of which is fried electronics or cracked heads.
By way of comparison, no one gets handed the controls to my nitro RCs. They're too expensive to repair. They're too fast and too easy to lose control of to FORCE those repairs. I have no hesitation, however, handing the control to others with the Slash. It's durable and stands up against bashing very well. Even if damage does occur, the replacement parts are available and reasonably priced at most online hobby stores.
The only problem I've had with my Slash is that I foolishly let my wife run it and now she wants one of her own!!

Take Along Thomas & Friends - Harold's Heliport Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have had this toy for 3 years now and have had no problems. My boys are 6 and 3 and love their Thomas Take Along sets. We have not had any problems with the remote and my yongest continuously removes Harold the helicopter from the helicopter pad. I just snap it back into place and away they go.
I continue to buy the new Thomas Take Along sets with the new style of tracks. I just bought the adapter tracks from Learning Curve that connect both styles of tracks (new and old) to each other. Thank goodness we have a big area in the basement to set everything up.

Unit connects to other Thomas the Train playsets (each sold separately) and is easy for small hands to assemble and pull apart. Imported.

New Bright - 1:15 Radio Control Ford F-150 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The positives:
- It looks nice
- It can take a beating. My son has been ramming it against the wall at full speed, driving it off every piece of furniture in the house, and it's taken the plunge of death down the stairs at least once. Somehow it's still in one piece.
The bad:
- The front tires only turn to either side about a 1/4 inch, so it makes very wide turns.
- Remote control feels very cheap and the steering control seems finicky.
- Expect to charge your batteries every night
This is the first R/C car I've purchased so I'm not sure what kind of value it is or how it compares to others. This toy would be a lot more fun if it could make sharper turns. It's hard to use inside.

Grave Digger Freestyle Stunt Truck Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We gave this truck to our 10-year old nephew. Once we got the batteries into it, the car was played with non-stop all day. Even our 3-year old niece was able to operate the car once she was shown the controls. The car goes forward and backward and stands up on the back wheels and spins in a circle. The car stands up to crashes into walls and other objects. It takes 8 batteries, but the car was still going strong after 6 hours. This was the hit toy at our Christmas. I would recommend this product--highly.

For a youngster it is a fine item, but for excitement value for an older child (or dad) don't buy this item. I am in search of a new truck with batteries you can recharge with more UMPHHHH.

Circuit 1/10th Stadium Truck Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been into hobby-grade rc vehicles for about a year and this is actually my first electric rc I usually run nitros. However this rc is one of the best I have ever run not as fast as my nitro's but it is still stock. I have already bought another more powerful battery for it and a speed charger because 5 hours is too long to wait for a charge. Very durable I can hit curb after curb after curb and just a couple of scratches in the thick plastic. However it is not water proof do not try it. But the parts are extremely well made the hobby shop that I bought it from said that a guy who bought one there put a 100 dollar Lithium-Polymer battery, very powerful very long lasting for those of you who don't know, and didn't blow the stock engine or transmission. It is priced nicely and will stand up to most any beating you give it. Also while running it into your leg isn't recommended other cars will hurt a lot more I didn't even bruise from this one. If you are looking for an affordable, durable, quick, and all around fun to drive rc I'd give this Circuit a second look.

Thomas and Friends TrackMaster R/C - Thomas Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We recently purchased this toy for our 3 year-old to add to his Tomy made Thomas set (uses Trackmaster trains). He loves everything about his R/C Thomas. He loves the sounds, he loves the ability to make him go forward, backward and stop whenever he wants and he loves seeing Thomas going around his track.
I couldn't agree with my son more but with one exception. Because the remote makes a constant "chugga chugga" noise as the train is in motion, the batteries in the remote die very quickly. After one day of playing with it we had to change them. The batteries in Thomas were still fine but because there is constant sound from the remote (unlike comparable GeoTrax train remotes) it can go through batteries very quickly.
Other than that, this was a fantastic addition to our set. Sure, having motorized trains is great but why not have R/C trains that you can control right?

Spinmaster Micro RC Terrain Titans Rough Rider Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I actually nabbed one of these at my local Toys R Us on clearance for around $10. Even at the full $12-15, it's still not a bad deal for the money, if you go into it understanding what you're getting. What you are essentially getting is a tiny novelty R/C car, do not expect a high-quality racer here, folks. I can't really recommend this toy for particularly young children, since they do require a bit of patience, what with the charging every 3-5 minutes or so, but an adult or teen will love one of these. The front wheels do occasionally pop off if the car takes a tumble, but snapping them back in place is quite easy, and the plastic itself seems to be quite durable. I've probably driven mine off the kitchen table onto the tile floor a dozen times and no issues so far. It doesn't handle carpet very well at all, crawling over it very slowly (the car is very tiny, after all, ground clearance is at a premium). If you have a smooth driveway or hardwood floor, this toy is good fun.

Air Hogs Xs Motors Thunder Trucks Baja Buggy Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got a couple of these for my 4 year old.
He likes it, and we run races and go through obstacle courses I set up. Car is definitely for indoors only.
The car runs great and hard-wood floors, and runs a little slower on low carpet. But steering is a little unpredictable. On both surfaces, if you turn a direction and then try to go straight, it takes a while for the wheels to come back to the straight position. And if you try to go straight back on hard-wood floors, after a half-second, the wheels start oscillating left-right-left-right. My son thinks it's funny. Thankfully, you don't drive backwards much.
Though they're trucks, the only obstacles they can go over are gentle ramps and slight bumps.
The cars are really small, which is good for carrying around and taking to friends' houses. The cars recharge from the base controller, which is cool. We're not bothered by having to recharge every 10 minutes or so, because we don't run the cars continuously more than a few minutes. And they recharge fast!
I've had the front wheels pop out of their steering mechanism a couple times. You can pop them back in, so no problem there.
$20 is a little pricey for such a small toy, but given the intricate design needed to put a motor, steering, and suspension in the car, it's justifiable.
FYI, I had to return one car because it stopped running after the 1st recharge. I've had no problem with the replacement and the other car I bought.

New Bright - 1:16 Radio Control Pro Dirt Hummer H3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these for my son from a local retail store. He was very excited to have a R/C vehicle that he could take in the dirt. We took it out of the box, got it all juiced up with new batteries and took it outside for some offroad action. It drove great on the driveway and the street on the way to the vacant lot, but as soon as it encountered anything other than hard surfaces it disappointed immediately. As soon as it hit the grass it stopped and could not move at all. I picked it up and moved it to the dirt. The dirt was a mix of hard packed dirt and hard packed dirt with about 1/8" of loose sand on top that the rain washed in. It managed to drive most of the time with an occasional hang up when the tires would just spin in the sand and not get traction. Within 3 minutes, the steering ceased to function it seems that some sand worked its way into the gearbox or motor for the stearing. It's understandable that this would cause a malfunction, but shouldn't an R/C vehicle advertised for offroad use be sealed up well enough to prevent this from happening? Within another 5 minutes or so, sand had worked its way into the drivetrain for the rear wheels causing them to hang up such that you have to pick up the vehicle, spin the wheels by hand to clear the jam and then return to normal operation (minus the apparently permanently disabled steering) for a few minutes until it jams again and you must repeat the process. It drives fine on hard surfaces so if your kid just wants to drive it inside or outside on the driveway, street, etc, then it will work fine. However, it does not work at all satisfactorily for offroad driving, the purpose for which it is advertised.

New Bright - 1:10 Radio Control Corvette Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really trusted Amazon in bringing me what I wanted, but when i received this car the colors were backwards and it seem to be used when the description said it was at available from Amazon and NEW. I liked the colors but, I like the original colors better. I still trust Amazon, its just that next time I will buy from a retail store to get this. The page did say it could come in 27MHZ or 49MHZ but did not say anything about the colors. On the good side the body is very durable, excluding the head lights.
