BladeRunner Interceptor RC helicopter tested
Grade: A+
"The Interactive Toy Concepts BladeRunner Interceptor heli is RC maniacs in the U.K. would call ace. It's top-quality in construction and delivers performance that's as good as I could ask for..."

Jada Battle Machines Air Vs. Land RC set
Grade: A+
"The Combat Zone Air vs. Land laser Battle Machines set by Jada Toys is hot. It works way better than I ever expected... The price feels just slightly high, but you do get a ton of replay value out of the set for either one or two kids. Great parent-child activity, too. "

Fast Lane RC JLX Matrix reviewed
Grade: D-
"I am tempted to give the Fast Lane RC JLX Matrix an F, but I am forcing myself to go with a low D because while it is very expensive and not fun, it does operate. With enough room, you can drive it around, and it can do the front flip advertised on the box. It's not completely a failure. Just mostly."

Fast Lane RC Street Trooper reviewed
Grade: D+
"The Fast Lane RC Street Trooper by Maisto Tech is absolutely awesome in concept, but pretty poor in reality."
See it in action in the full Fast Lane RC Street Trooper review.

Fast Lane RC Cross Bow reviewed
Grade: F+
"To successfully fly the Fast Lane RC Cross Bow without crashing, you would need a very large open space with no obstructions so that it can spend as much time as it wants toggling in & out of your control. That is, of course, if you are so lucky as to get one that works in the first place."

Silverlit 3D Twister review
Grade: A-
"The Silverlit 3D Twister is great fun. It's faster than it needs to be, and its ability to do airborne tricks and always land flat on its wheels, ready for the next stunt or speed run, is unmatched."

Air Hogs Helix 360 review updated
Grade: B
When the Air Hogs Helix 360 was first released, it was $80 US, and I did not think what it added over a 3-channel heli was worth the hefty step up in price. With the street price reduced to $59.99 in 2011, I decided to have another look at the craft and update my conclusions.
Get more details & see the flight video of the Air Hogs Helix 360...

Hot Wheels RC Ken Block Gymkhana stunt car reviewed
Grade: B
"The Hot Wheels RC Ken Block Gymkhana stunt car is definitely a blast to drive. They tried something completely new & different with the functional design, and it worked. There are two things working together to keep this one from earning an A rating from me -- price & battery requirements"
