Awesome looking remote control semi truck with working lights

Many younger boys imagine driving a semi, now give them the closes thing to the real thing in this supped up semi.

The paint job is very cool and all the small features like the lights and the horn make this a homerun as a gift.
Now I will list some of the pros and cons about the semi.
Pros

• Truck is faster than what you would think.
• Will run on carpet but a little slower than hard surface.
•  Awesome paint job.
• Goes in reverse and is fun for little kids to try to back it up like a real driver.

Cons

• Batteries not included. It takes 2 in remote and 4 in the truck
• Not the toughest truck it is made mostly of plastic.
• Remote is not built to hold up to much horse play so becaurful.
• You have to be pretty close to the truck for the remote to work correctly.

The truck may be a little over price for what you get but overall the quality of the semi is good and should provide hours of entertainment for a child.

Easy to fly beginner remote control airplane

Looking for a beginner r.c. plane then look no farther than "Hobby Zone Champ Champ RTF" it is one of the most popular on the market. Check it out here.

Nothing fancy just your plan looking plane that out flies the competition. Now let me tell you why this makes the perfect plane for beginners.

1. It pretty much flies itself and the controls are very easy to pick up on.
2. It can sustain a few wrecks here or there and get right back in the air.
3. The plane is affordable under $100.
4. Affordable replacement parts in case you do wreck it pretty bad.
5. The plane can perform tricks like loops,dives,rolls easier than most r.c. planes.

Now being a beginner plane there are a few things that need some improving.

1. The plane is very light weight and does not do well at all so if it is windy you better leave it on the ground.
2. Even at full throttle it flies pretty slow.
3. Small tires make for a rough landing.
4. Handling can be tough.

If you are new to this hobby and you are going to make this your 1st plane we suggest you watch the instructional videos and read the instructions before you get started.

Remote control truck with a snow plow on it

If you are looking for a remote control toy that is capable of working out in the snow look no further. Meet the Kyosho 30986 -EP Blizzard Sr Vehicle.

Awesome huh? This machine is made for the snow, it needs it to perform its best. At least 2 inches preferably the dry kind but it can work in any snow. The 2 motors it has gives it extreme torque to plow through any snow and climb just about anything,even snow covered steps are no match. You could run this plow from your porch because it has a range of 100 feet!  Imagine shoveling your sidewalk with out a shovel just use the Blizzard to do your work for you, okay that might be an over statement but it sure would be fun to try it.
The remote of coarse operates forward,backward,and turns around, also it has a 3rd channel that controls the plow.

Now lets discuss a few cons about the Blizzard.

1. Not water proof
2. The price it is pretty costly
3. The tracks are plastic
4. Clogging if snow is wet
5. Hard for younger kids to run

If you are serious about buying a R.C. toy that you can run in the snow you have to check out the Kyosho Blizzard.

R.C. Dinosaur that will throw a rock across the room

Many young boys are obsessed with dinosaurs I have 2 nephews that hold serve to this obsession as well. There is one toy that is by far the best for the dinosaur lovers you have to take a look at and it is "Spike the Ultra Dinosaur" by fisher price. Spike is controlled by a easy to use wireless remote that is perfect for smaller hands. Spike does so much starting with of coarse walking forward. I will list some of the other fun motions he does below.

• He can stand up on his hind legs like a bear
• He can turn left and right
• Blinks his eyes
• Opens his mouth
• Throws a rock that he picks up from the ground
• Neck rotates around
• Spikes on his back will light up

Now I will list some of his awesome sound effects he makes

• Roars
• Growls
• Snorts
• Sneezes
• Sniffles
• Laughs
• Says Moose Meat
• Snores
• He also plays jungle music

I am thinking you probably want to take a look at Spike so here you go.

Huge huh?
Now to close this dinosaur will do everything you could imagine and your child will have hours of fun playing with him. He of coarse uses pretty good amount of batteries to operate I believe 4 and they do come with it. I think you can buy a charger which would really help out in cost. I does take four hours to charge though. I hope this helps you in your quest to find the perfect dinosaur toy.

Remote Control Helicopter that can carry stuff in a basket

Remote Control helicopters are one of the most popular toys is the r.c. world. Many have different talents they can do but not many come with there own cargo basket that you can carry things in, until now. The Silverlit Heli Express comes with its own winch for transporting supplies and gives you or your child a new challenge by flying with a load and not dumping it.

Remote Control Forklift Whos Forks Go Up And Down

Now when I was 5 or 6 I had no idea what a forklift was, but if I knew how much fun they were to drive around I would of cried for a r.c. version. Thank goodness Over Stock Toyz created one of the best forklifts you can buy. It has a wireless remote that works pretty far away for r.c. toys of this price. The accessories that come with it like the pallets,boxes,and barrels add hours of fun stacking and unstacking. Yes this forklifts arms actually go up and down. The speed of the forklift is not the fastest but it has plenty of power to complete the job of stacking pallets. Now let me show you a picture of what the forklift looks like and the accessories.

There are only a few minor things that the manufacture could change and I will list them here.

1. Comes with no batteries
2. Does not run well on carpet
3. Forklift could be faster
4. Could be built a little stronger but still good for the price

Overall at being priced under $40 dollars I am almost positive you and your child will get that much fun and enjoyment out of it.
