Doctor Who - 12" Radio Control Dalek Thay

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote Control Toys
from: Character Options


This is an excellent remote control toy which young boys especially enjoy but is not very durable. The antena's have a tendancy to snap off and eventually the remote control knobs also break off. It lasted all of 8 hours on Christmas day before it started to crumble. My little bot isn't heavy handed and looks after his toys so this was disappointing. The same thing happened to my nephew's dalek.

Roboquad

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote Control Toys
from: Character Options


Don't get me wrong, this is a lot of fun and okay for the age ranges advertised. But it is isn't fast or zippy enough to appeal to younger kids (under 10s, I think).

At the moment, the price tag of £35 (down from £70 originally!) is spot on and makes this good value. It is programmable, but few are likely to experiment much with it, due to the clunky (ie. simple) interface on the controller. Most of the fun is to be had from the demos, direct manual control as well as the 'autonomous' mode; all via the basic and fairly robust controller.

The Roboquad itself does have limitations, even beyond some which I had forseen. It doesn't function optimally on soft surfaces (eg. carpet) and naturally will have similar problems ... Read More:

Scalextric Digital Super GT Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote Control Toys
from: Scalextric


This is by far the best Scalextric ever. It is great fun, only problem is within one day of having it, the spoilers on all cars borke off, wing mirrors, lights. Problem is the cars change change lanes and drive on the same lane, they can drive in opposite directions, its like bumpers cars and these can't take the beating that any kid would give this type of toy.

I-Fly Vamp Bat R/C Ornithopter With Led Eyes 27Mhz

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote Control Toys
from: Interactive Toy


Got this as I've been through a couple of PicooZ-type heli-things, and then graduated to a 4-channel co-axial. So, this interested me, just to see it would actually fly. And it does, although you need a fair bit of space to use it indoors, and something this light will not cope with even a tiny breeze outside, so don't even bother trying. May have to take it in to work, in order to have a bit more room, but managed some circuits in a large room at home.

The looks of it, combined with the shrieking noise it makes when flying, make it ... well, not quite a 'bat out of hell', but certainly something different, and a little insane too, which I like!

Also comes with spare wings and small plastic discs, which can be stuck to the wings ... Read More:

Nintendo Radio Control Mario Kart - Yoshi

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote Control Toys
from: Impact

June 06, 2005
Yoshi has finally jumped out of the cartridges and the disks in the Video-Game World and has strapped himself in a cart of his own. You are given the controller and now you can take Yoshi wherever you go!

The Yoshi Go-Kart is a Remote Control racing kart, which allows the user to take Yoshi at top speed around their home, office, work environment and even competitions outside the Nintendo Video-Gaming World. There are 3 types of these Karts available. A Mario, a Donkey Kong and a Yoshi Kart. Obviously I own a Yoshi Kart, he goes at 44htz, which is faster than Mario, as my brother owns a Mario Go-Kart, and I won against him in a few remote control races!

My Grade For Yoshi: 8.5/10: Excellent, Wonderful, Good One

My Wish: ... Read More:

Doctor Who - Radio Control 10" K9

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote Control Toys
from: Character Options

September 15, 2006
All I can say is...wow! As a callow youth of the late 1970s and early-mid 1980s I was always puzzled as to why there was so little Doctor Who merchandise; nowadays the toy market must be pretty much saturated with it!
This K9 model has to be one of the most eagerly awaited and fun products to have been produced since the new series began in 2005. It looks fantastic and having the battery compartment as a side-panel of the robot dog is the kind of little touch that shows this has been produced with real care and attention. Batteries are a small bone of contention - K9 takes one AAA whilst the remote control unit takes two AAs. Mind you, these days pretty much every toy needs a constant supply of batteries - at least these ones last a good while.

R/C Apache AH-64 3 Channel Helicopter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote Control Toys
from: Acme


What can you say about a £60 (now £49) 4 channel RC helicopter. To be honest I wasn't expecting too much but once I had opened the box and found 8 (yes eight) AA batteries for the controller (not included) I was a convert.

It is very easy to setup and get to grips with. Bare in mind though that this is a decent sized powerful helicopter with exposed blades. This is not a kids toy. It is very well balanced and easily trimmed with the controller. The flight time is very good - easily out stripping the smaller 2-3 Channel foam based helicopters you can buy for up to £30.

If you are considering an intermediate level indoor (larger areas required to get the most out of the helicopter's speed) then don't buy the cheap foam choppers - this ... Read More:
