Tonka RC Ricochet reviewed

Grade: B-

"The Tonka RC Ricochet is a tough vehicle that was definitely designed with a lot of thought and care. It's a little on the expensive side, but you pay for real quality. What a tragic shame it is, then, that the manufacturer made a very, very bad decision about just one critical component."

See two videos in the Tonka RC Ricochet review!

Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides Batman Tumbler reviewed!

Grade: A

"The Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides Batmobile (Tumbler) is one cool car. I'm still impressed by the unique and innovative design of the entire Stealth Rides series, where the center of the vehicle actually collapses and the sides fold out, to fit into that compact & convenient controller. The look of the Tumbler was awesome in the Batman movie, and it's well captured with the Hot Wheels RC version."

Maisto RC Rock Crawler reviewed

Grade: A-

"The Maisto RC Rock Crawler is short on features but big on performance. It really tackles terrain that very few toy-class RCs ever made could ever successfully navigate."

Air Hogs TRON Light Cycle RC tested

Grade: F

"The Air Hogs TRON Legacy Light Cycle RC is a miserable toy, a complete & utter abject failure. It is worse in every way than all of the other Zero Gravity vehicles to date, and it does not do any of the things it's supposed to when driven in ideal, but realistic conditions."

Get all of the torrid details in the full Air Hogs TRON Light Cycle review.

New Bright Hi Rider RC truck

Grade: A+

"The New Bright Hi-Rider truck does everything I can ask of it, and more. It's the perfect full-function RC for a young child, a hundred times better than the typical cheap cars that just go straight and turn in reverse."

Watch the video & see the review of the New Bright Hi Rider RC.

New Bright Tread Zone RC reviewed

Grade: A

"I think New Bright took a gamble with the odd design of the Tread Zone RC vehicle, but it paid off... ...if you like the concept and how it looks, I think you'll like how it drives just as well."

See it in action in the New Bright Tread Zone review.

Fast Lane RC 1/14th scale Jeep Wrangler Rock Crawler reviewed

Grade: C-

"The Fast Lane 1/14th scale Jeep Wrangler Rock Crawler had great potential and very nearly delivered on it, but the 'Achilles heel' is the steering, which hampers the performance and driving experience."

Find out the details & see 2 videos in the Fast Lane RC Jeep Wrangler Rock Crawler review.

Halo Warthog RC (radio-controlled) toy reviewed

Grade: C-

"The new 2010 edition RC Halo Warthog has very respectable performance. Its speed is surprisingly good, and it goes over gravel and bumpy dirt surfaces really well.... With my brief personal experience, though, I would have to say to prospective buyers, 'Proceed with caution.'"

See what went right & what went wrong in the Halo Warthog RC review.
