Affordable RC Heli: Heli-Max 1SQ Quadcopter Hands-On Review
Disclaimer (but it’s funny, so it’s worth reading): I was sent the Heli-Max 1SQ Quadcopter by Heli-Max for review, and I am a biased man. I am also a man who says whatever he wants whenever he wants, and is not swayed by gifts and giant wooden horses. I would have rejected the Trojan Horse, as I had already completed my collection of antique, giant wooden animals. Greed was the source of the infamous defeat, and that’s why we should all love …
Read MoreF-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! …
Read MoreHot Wheels RC Nitro Speeders are Incredibly Fast
The Hot Wheels RC Nitro Speeders are the newest and best in the RC world. These little guys come with that carrying case there that doubles as a charger and a controller. The car itself is powered by two 30,000 RPM motors that can make it fly at scale speeds of up to 600mph. And by fly, I mean fly. As in, how fast I went when we thought it was a good idea to ride a shopping cart attached with …
Read MoreRemote 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 …
Read MoreMario Kart 1/8 Scale Remote Control Car
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? Turtles with wings, but we can’t buy those. At least, not in America. *Tapes feathers to pet Box Turtle* Fly, my leathery friend! FLY! *Turtle gnaws on my finger* I had better get some googly eyes and a mushroom instead… Mario Kart …

Read More3D Twister Remote Control Car by Silverlit Hands On Review
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. Fortunately for you, it takes a lot more than a remote control car to buy my opinions. Give me somewhere around $7,000 and I’ll tell it on the mountains. ”Tell what on the mountains?” I DON’T CARE – ANYTHING YOU WANT ME TO. Main points we covered: sponsored post, will tell …

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 …
