F-86 Great Planes RC Jet Is The Lightest Of Its Kind

Remote control jets haven’t always been the best – they’ve been known for a lack of maneuverability, and helicopters have really gained more popularity among hobby enthusiasts. Fortunately for geeky jet enthusiasts, the F-86 Great Planes RC Jet just might change that. This plane is the lightest remote control jet in the world, weighing in at a measly 2.35 ounces! With this incredibly light speed, the F-86 can easily make quick turns, DO A BARREL ROLL, and DO ANOTHER BARREL ROLL! …

Remote Control Tissue Box

The Remote Control Tissue Box seems, to me, to be a sick joke. (Get it? SICK joke? ”How did you get into my subconscious?”) But, seriously, this geeky RC toy is a sick, sick, joke. Hey, you know what would be awesome? If we drove the Remote Control Tissue Box over to that guy lying down in bed. Just watch him try to reach down and grab a tissue. *Man falls off of the bed* Ha! Did you – did you …

The Mario Kart 1/8 Scale Remote Control Car is great for any lover of Mario Kart. We know that Mario Kart 7 is coming out soon, and what could better accompany this game than a themed RC car?

First of all, I need to tell you that this is a sponsored post. As in, they sent me the 3D Twister and let me play with it and keep it.

Why Buy an RC Helicopter?

RC helicopters seem to be an unlikely gift for many RC Toy enthusiasts. They don’t have the tradition, nor the following of cars. They can’t be used in a pool, like RC boats. However, this much-underrated remote control toy has a very loyal following, and for good reason. RC helicopters are, by far, the most versatile and capable remote control vehicles on the market. In many ways, RC helicopters exceed the abilities of their human-steered counterparts. Unlike a regular helicopter, RC helicopters …
