Picooz micro IR Helicopter
Review of Silverlit Micro RC PicooZ Helicopter by zhgutas

Advantages: Unbreakable, small
Disadvantages: Too light, hard to control

I got this one from my girlfriend as a present for something, since I was talking about RC helicopters quite for a while then. I will try to mention pro's & cons as briefly as i can: PROS: Light, quick charge, small enough for indoor use, sufficient battery life (control), literally unbreakable, easy to modify (great fun!) - just add weights (pins) or sticky tape. CONS: Too light to be used outdoors (wind), reacts too greatly to its own air waves ...
...control, flying forward requires skill, noisy vibrations of the gear (appears in the middle of a speed range) impedes flight direction, precision of control changes gradually with battery discharging, no use of a LED light "for night time flight". However, all in all it is fun toy to have, and if you are bothered by those cons- just buy a bigger one, like I will !:) Have fun ... Read review

Super car
Review of HPI Nitro Rush Evo RTR by Benman456

Advantages: Fast and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Fuel and damages are costly.

A really good first rc nitro car. Very fast engine, with a nice sound and a high top speed and acceleration. A very reliable car with durable parts. fuel is rather expensive, as it runs on 16% nitro fuel. The engine is so powerful that you can slide and drift the cr on pretty much any surface. Great as a backyard basher, and as a proper offroader. I have 2 of these cars now, and I race them with my family, and I like to upgrade them with lots of ... Read review

Review of Roboreptile by Albinorhino

Advantages: nice look, good sound
Disadvantages: doesn't respond to his controls, to many levels of control.

...it so I thought a roboreptile was going to be fun as well. I went home with my reptile to first take about fifteen minutes to get the thing out of the box. Then I get to find out that it takes 8 batteries, again a bit of a disappointment but I battery him up and get to work. Turn him on and his startup takes a good 45 seconds, he doesn't respond to his controls reither, you would hit walk forward or sideways and instead he would just move in the ... Read review

BlackGhost Remote Control Helicopter
Review of BladeRunner Black Ghost Helicopter by alienateduk

Advantages: Cheap, Easy controls, Lots of fun
Disadvantages: Requires 6AA batteries, Fine control takes a long time to learn

I received this product for Christmas and have had a lot of fun playing with it. It is a simple 2 rotor design remote control helicopter made from black polystyrene. The two rotors work independently so their power can be adjusted to give a more stable flight. The controls are very simple with a thumb stick to control lift, one to control turning and a dial in the middle that adjusts the amount of power to each rotor individually so the helicopter ...
...controller uses infra red signals to control the helicopter and has a side compartment which opens to reveal the "Docking Port" which is where you plug in the helicopter to recharge it, which is very simple to use. Also in the box are stickers to decorate the helicopter making it more appealing and also a very useful instruction sheet that details the controls, how to charge and possible errors and how to adjust them. The main downside to the product ... Read review

Sons Chirstmas present
Review of Nikko 1972 Firebird RC Car by Denne

Advantages: Reliability
Disadvantages: recharge time

I bought this product for my 9 year old son for a Christmas present last year and I can say that it is a wonderful gift to give a son/daughter. It was fun for all the family as we stood on the street playing with the car for many hours. The battery life was very long lasting and endured for many hours. The recharge took a while, but it is worth it. The car's speed is fairly fast, not as fast as other RC cars on the market, but for the price you ... Read review
