Not only does it look wicked, it's large (50cm long) and quick. In fact it's so fast that in wet conditions, you'd be better taking a pit stop and changing' those tires otherwise you'll be high tailing' it down the straight. In fact, the acceleration is so quick that the car literally skids into action, wheels spinning and rubber burning!
The remote control features two forward gears and one reverse, as well as the
necessary twisting button on the side of the gun for direction. If you hit the high gear from stationery, you're likely to send the car into a spinning frenzy - a delicate fingertip is required to pulse the trigger slowly, so that a slow cruise can be maintained (vital for pit safety), before unleashing full throttle.
We tried it on a variety of surfaces, and found tarmac to be the best for grip. If you're planning to drive it over a shiny surface you'll need plenty of skill to keep the car under control. Because of the combination of speed and racing tyres, there's hours and hours of fun to be had pulling off turns, spins and figure eights manoeuvres.
The car comes complete with a rechargeable battery pack, which it's best to
charge overnight for performance. The included controller (as shown below) requires a 9V battery, which is also included.

I looked on the website about 2 weeks ago and thought it`s a brilliant price for the speed and size of the car so I ordered it instantly and I couldn`t stop playing with it. 3 weeks I played with it non stop ... it is worth every penny Andrew Thomas, Cardiff
It`s a great buy and i definately recomend it. It`s a great chunky size but unlike most large things it goes superfulously fast. Miles, London
Fast and great fun and great value, my son loves it. Sarah Willman, Glasgow
When I first saw this advertised on your site, I was so shocked at the low price for it`s specifications that I thought you must have made a pricing error. So, I ordered it super quick just in case you would change the price. I got it in the post the next day, and am seriously impressed with the maneuvers it can do and it`s speed. Sorted!!

I bought this and it is by far the fastest funniest and cheapest thing I have ever played with (even funnier in the wet).. Jay Hickling - Essex
