Tyco Radio Control Rebound Superbike in Burnt Orange - 27 MHz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for my five year old son. As ususal I took it out of the package and installed the batteries and inflated the tires so it'd be ready to use Christmas morning.
I decided to try it out myself. It goes about a foot, then tips over and stops. You pick it up, it goes about a foot then tips over and stops. I was lucky to maybe get it to move about two feet total before it tipped over and stopped.
Now if you had access to a very large smooth floor, for example, a basketball court, you could get it to work. But that's a rare instance indeed.
I tried it over a variety of surfaces and simply could not get it to work. And you really can't use it indoors. First, it'll tip and stop on carpeting. And if you have hard floors, it's simply too fast. By the time you'd get it across the floor it'd be crashing into the other wall. Unless you had a VERY large room without any objects in it. E.g., my basketball court example.
The ads for this RC are very misleading. It would be too frustrating for any user, especially a kid. It took the one I bought back immediately.
I just want to add one last comment about the fact you need to buy a separate battery. First, it's quite clear from Amazon's page that you need one. Second, it's quite clear from the packaging that you need one. And third, all high-end RCs require separate batteries. High-end RCs use too much power to use regular batteries. And nearly all high-end RC enthusiasts want to have several such batteries to keep the fun going.
