Storm 1:10 R/C Rally Car

Hovercrafts, planes, boats - they're all good for some radio controlled (RC) fun, but when it comes to the most popular RC toy configuration, the humble car wins by far, the one thing many of us rely on a daily basis to get us here, there and everywhere.

Trouble with our own cars is, you can't legally venture out onto public roads and let rip. We mean burn rubber, get into a donut, max out the speedo or otherwise carry on like a larrikin with no regard for safety.

That's where rechargeable RC cars come into it. See with these scaled cars, we can do just about anything we like, within limits of course, but the "pedal to the metal" gut wrenching stuff we'd sometimes like to do with our own cars, can mostly be done with RC cars, all in the name of fun.

What sort of things do you look for in a decent RC car then? Independent suspension? Functioning lights? Crash shock absorption? 4-shift speed? Differential gearbox? Wheel alignment adjustment? Proper rubber tyres?

What a coincidence - the Storm 1:10 R/C Rally Car has all this and more. Its multi-speed pistol grip controller is good for 100m so it's a good thing the car's 1:10 scale, otherwise you may just have trouble seeing it without some binoculars. With its cool lighting system, there's no reason why you couldn't race the Storm at night (no pun intended).

In true rally car fashion, the Storm can also be taken off-road at its lower, higher torque gear. On flat on-road type surfaces, in its higher gear, the Storm can be shifted to all out racing, skid, stunt mode etc.

You'll also be pleased to know that the Storm doesn't fall short in the good looks department either - its nicely recreated bodywork and custom sticker job is sure to raise more than a few eyebrows come next race day. Start building your track now.

Product Specification

The Storm 1:10 R/C Rally Car is a full function radio control (RC) toy. The included RC transmitter allows you to stop and control the rally car forwards, backwards, left and right. The forward control is two-speed - a user selectable gear on the car itself provides a total of four forward speeds. The front and rear car lights automatically illuminate while going forward and in reverse respectively. 8 x AA alkaline batteries are required for the RC transmitter (not included).

3-4 hours is required to fully charge the included 10V lead-acid battery pack before first use - this will provide 15-20 minutes of continuous play (depending on terrain), after which the battery pack will need re-charging with the included AC adapter charger.

• Recommended for ages 5 and up.
• Operating frequency: 27MHz.
• Length: 440mm.
