Nikko Morph-N-Ator

Grade: B

"The ground clearance doesn't really change, and unfortunately I didn't get to test it off-road before passing it on to its next owner. I can see that it won't do well on really rough terrain, but it should be fine on smoother dirt with some jumps and little hills and bumps, as long as there aren't a lot of rocks that can get stuck under it. On-road, though, the Morph-N-Ator was really great fun, and the transforming action has to be seen to be believed -- it's addicting! Plus, in a race, it would be very useful to transform to high-riding form when approaching tight turns, to cut them as close as possible, then go back to low mode for the straightaways. The battery door issue was an annoyance, but all in all, this is a fun RC." Read more...
