Editorial Review

Sporting a silver body, green and pink streaks on the sides, and a spoiler on the back, this Mitsubishi convertible is controlled by a seven-function remote fueled by a 9-volt battery. Levers enable the car to go forward or backward, or turn left or right, while buttons on the top of the remote activates the car's "turbo speed" and puts it into a counter-clockwise spin. A four-hour quick charger keeps the car primed. The detailing is mediocre, and the construction is fairly flimsy and lightweight, though that probably helps the car attain top speeds. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

The AMAZING Spyder
I got this as a birthday gift and I LOVE it!It goes so FAST! It has a special button that makes it spinout.That is fun to watch. It is very durable. It has a bumper. I completely RECOMEND it.

Speed Racer
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder is like SO AWESOME! Especially for a frequency of 49mhz. I went to my friends house and I was impressed on how good it was on riding grass and going fast. When I pressed the A&B button at the same time, it went MAD fast! When I pressed A then B eventually, it spun. It uses a 9.6 volt Ni-Cad battery pack that's pretty big, especially when it takes 4 hours to charge. It even has neon light under it. When I went to my friends house, we raced with the car. So if you have some deniro, (...). And When you need a new charger(...). So if u want a "COOL" car, get the Mitsubishi. ... Read more

If it's possible for a toy truck to ooze machismo, this radio controlled Chevy Silverado fits the bill. It features a sharp looking blue and white paint job, a "turbo" mode of higher acceleration, and enormous tires offset by a set of the spinning rims that have become so popular among fans of car customization. While the tires look like they can handle quite a bit of off road action, we recommend sticking to challenging indoor obstacles rather than dirt trails, since introducing too much grit into the truck's machinery could result in faulty operation. The Silverado operates at 27 MHz and is powered by a 9.6-volt nickel-cadmium battery that comes with its own charger. We were impressed by the truck's looks but even more impressed by the handling and responsiveness. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Get down 'n' dirty in the mud! This fat-tired monster truck is ready to mow over rough terrain. The truck features include four wheel drive for handling rough terrain, differential gears for all wheel traction and a high and low gear selector for slow maneuvering and hill-climbing or high speeds on a level straight away. This sweet cherry red truck is ready to run and includes a 9-volt battery for the remote and offers full function four-way controls, enabling the truck to move left, right, forward, and in reverse. After four hours of charging the 9.6-volt ni-cad battery pack in the included charger, this truck is ready to hit the racecourse. The Supertruck from Fast Lane operates on a frequency of 27 megahertz so for a successful monster truck rally, other trucks need to run on different frequencies. This truck is not recommended for driving on grass, but works well on pavement, gravel, mud, or dirt. ... Read more

Fast Lane Super Slicks
I am 12 year old luke of Salt Lake City Utah, and I am very satisfied with the quality, detail, and the overall fun of this RC car. It is very fast out of the box compared to other 1:43 RC cars, and looks almost like a diecast toy. It has a durable, highly adaptable chassis with easy means of accessing the motor, gears, and axles. There are also upgrade kits which include 2 different motors, gear ratios, wheels, and tires that all give different attributes. There are higher torque, and higher rpm motors. The green color coded ones have higher torque, but very lower rpm's, the orange variety is medium, and the light red variety has the highest rpm's. the tune-up kit(which costs approximately $...) includes the red and orange, and the starter set has the green variety. The value and upgradability easily makes up for the high price of $.... I reccomend this product to all.

Buy These Cars!!!!
I have never been more impressed with a toy right out of the box as I was with this one. The cars are well detailed and they are really fun to drive. I got one for my son for Christmas and I took a chance and got one for myself as well. I opened mine up last night to test it and I played with it for an hour! And I'm 39. It really steers pretty good and even has an aliginment adjustment for the front wheels! It powers up in about 2 to 3 minutes and they go pretty fast. The only downside is that it only has a 5-10 foot range on the controller but that really didn't bother me. It uses 3 AAA batteries for the charger part and one 9v for the transmitter part. Do yourself a favor and go to Amazon.com and buy some energizer rechargable batteries. It will save you tons of money and all those trips to the store for batteries. This thing only costs $20!!! You can't beat that. My ... daugter saw me playing with this toy and wanted one herself. I got her a blue mini cooper. I can't wait for the big race on Christmas day!!! Now Toys R Us, get busy on a white 1970 Dodge Challenger!!!!! and hurry it up!!! you got a good thing here! ... Read more

Great car!
If you like ZipZaps or Microsizers, then the SuperSlicks are a great move forward.They are a little bigger, but are faster, more responsive, and easier to control.The bodies have excellent detail.The range is good, and it is fast on carpet and smooth surfaces.I can not wait to try the upgrades. ...

Good value, has minor limitations
My son just bought this truck/boat combo with a Toys R Us giftcard that he won. He is 8 years old and was very excited to find this boat AND truck together. It comes with 1 remote to be used with both items, which is fine. It also comes with a 6V battery pack for the truck. The Boat comes with 4 AA batteries but can also use the battery pack. I did buy an additional 6V battery pack for the boat so that I don't have to continually buy new batteries.

The truck is light and has full motion remote. It is speedy but does not work much at all on grass or rocks. But works great on the driveway and sidewalk. The Truck is considerably slower when towing the boat. The boat hooks onto the back of the truck, but, unfortunately, the little plastic piece that securely attaches the boat trailer to the truck became bent slightly on the first day so it now longer stays on very securely. The truck will pull the boat, but if it turns sharp or stops suddenly, the boat trailer will come unhooked.

As far as the boat is concerned, it works well in the water, the AA batteries seem to last about 40 minutes or so, it's not a very fast boat, not slow, but not real fast. But it is just fine for my 8 year old son. I'm not sure if he could handle a faster one at this point. It does seem to have a pretty good range of about 60 feet or so.

Overall, it's not a bad value -- not great, but not bad and my son is VERY pleased with this combination, so that's good enough for me.

IT'S COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's the coolest toy ever! It's never bin broke in the 2yrs I have had it. And it's fast.

Tight
An 8-year-old friend of the family wanted to spend his birthday money on this truck. It didn't seem like a very good choice to me. I was concerned about the durability and about poor traction from the ultra-low-profile tires. Well, after a week, no breakages. And, the slippery tires are perfect for doing donuts on the tiled floor of the family room. Knobby truck tires would never have allowed this. Shows you what I know.

Here's another pleasant surprise. It's not obvious from the box or the online description, but a 6.0V rechargeable NiCd battery pack can be used instead of five AA. This will save you a bunch of money on batteries. Just remember if you buy the truck and a battery pack, the pack will take several hours to charge. Might want to get some AA for the initial test drive.

Oh, and the spinners are "tight" (even if they don't actually spin).

breakable
so i got this new car, and i thought, "wow".It is so good, and it skids on the floor.Well, after a bit, it turned out that it skids because it has no traction, which is a pain, and the wheel falls off all the time.So now i took off the wheel and raced it without 3 wheels.Dont buy this, or you will end up skidding around, crashing into things, with only 3 wheels. ...

Jae's Mini Review
I would recommend using actual metal / chrome parts to make it more durable and realistic. I would pay extra to get more authentic design. Why should it be made of cheap plastic ?

easy to control and very smooth details
I must say at first I was skeptical regarding the performance of the mini cooper. I bought it for the realistic details. However I was impressed in the easy driving and other extras it has to offer. I recommend it for any person whom not only wants to have fun, but doing it in style. ... Read more

TWO BIG PROBLEMS
I baught four cars so we could all race. The cars are fast and responsive. They seem very duralbe and the charge lasted much longer than i expected. Big Problem number one....there are ONLY TWO channels (that means only two cars can race at a time...no fun!!!) Big Probelm number two.....its fast or off...they lack variable speed control like other brands (This makes the cars very hard to control).

the best toy
the toy escalade is the best toy out (...)

Only Half Done
First off, let me say that this toy is pretty pimp. It's a metallic orange Cadillac Escalade EXT rollin on dubs. And it's remote controlled! If you're like me, you understand why this is a cool toy. However, I do have some issues with it. Mainly the fact that the rims are made too look like "spinners" but in reality they are not, they do not spin. I also think more detail should be put into the headlights and tail lights. but then again, what can i expect for only $20, right? Basically, I recommend to the manufacturer that if you're going to continue this line of "hip-hop styled" vehicles, pay more attention to detail, get rid of the external antenna, and add some features. Of course, you'd have to raise the price, but speaking for myself and prolly just about everyone else I know who collect the same things I do, it will still sell. If the changes were made, I would easily pay $50-$60 for this item. Just a couple thoughts, Anyway, if you want a pimp-toy to cruise around your living room, this is definitely it. ... Read more
