Nikko Deegan Hevy Hitters race truck


Grade: B+

"It's undeniable that this is a great-looking truck, and with the batteries & charger included, it's a good deal, too. It handles very well on the street, and has enough ground clearance and stability to handle some off-road terrain. Because it's a low racing truck and not a monster truck or rock crawler, you can't go over big rocks, but rough gravel and pebble beds are fine..."

Revell Piloto review & video


Grade: B-

"The Revell Piloto is a great-flying, inexpensive plane, but it's a fragile little bugger. Especially with the large controller, I'd recommend that only adults fly it, and try to land in either soft lawn grass or on smooth tarmac... I just would not recommend the Piloto for younger pilots. "

RC Mario Kart


Grade: A

"The miniature, 1-channel cheap Mario Kart was a bust, but this bigger one is great. It looks good, the controller is fun, and it drives well... The only thing I could ask for is a bit more speed, but overall this is a really good buy. "

Jada Toys Dropstars DUB Magnum


Grade: B+

"It goes slow, looks good, is easily maneuverable, and plays an almost catchy tune. All of these qualities make this vehicle the perfect begging rig for a small child. I tried, tried, and tried again to damage this vehicle in a manner that an average person could not be repaired, but it couldn't be done, short of intentional damage or dropping it from considerable height."

Air Hogs Havoc Laser Battle Set


Grade: C-

"I love the Havoc helis, and I think the very idea of a battle set is truly awesome, but the quirks that showed up when two were flown together really let me down. Given the other feedback from regular buyers I've read on the Internet, I think the Havoc Laser Battle sets are a hit-and-miss affair, where you may be taking a gamble when you buy one. Maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't. As much as I hate to say it, I'm going to have to recommend that the buyer beware. "
