Hot Wheels Fury FTX by Tyco / Mattel


Grade: F

"What a let down. I really liked the look of the Fury FTX and even the Professor was impressed by its design. When it came to driving it, though, everything fell apart.

Nikko Pro Class (Evolution) Lamborghini Murcielago


Grade: A+

"So let's see, the Nikko Pro Class Murcielago looks great, handles great, goes fast (and there's an upgrade "Sprint" motor available for even more speed), and comes with everything you need to run. Now that's what I call a slam dunk. At a street price of $59.99, the Nikko Pro Class vehicles are a solid value. If you're interested in buying one, be sure to also check out the Ford GT, Saleen S7, and Mitsubishi Evolution versions!" Read the full review...

Microsizers Powerbrutes Micro Monster Truck


Grade: B+

"Well, the last thing I want to do is blow up this great little truck, so I'll just play it safe with one to two charges. Whew, this was a lot of writing! I really liked this truck, so much so that I'm going to try to get a friend to buy one so that we can race. The truck isn't too fast, but it's really maneuverable and really fun. As long as you keep it off of really rough surfaces, you can really do a lot with it! " Read more...
