The Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides Racing Car is a curious mixture of innovation and convention. When you ride it you get to feel a cleverly compiled combining of ingenuity and good old-fashioned dashing fun. A lot of thought has been put into making this little baby. And even though it appears to be a midget and you will question the physical returns you are getting for the amount you are shelling out, it may provide a very powerful and thrilling experience once you put it to use. If you want all your doubts to melt there is only one way – go for this Hot Wheels RC Racing Car.

We commend this car to be used by kids in the age group of 6 to 12, though the manufacturer recommends a minimum age of 8. The car comes as an collected unit with a controller cum charger cum holder. Also provided with this are 3 extra batteries and a set of instructions. It would be advisable to be indepth with the instructions before you begin operating this little devil.

You might have purchased other such cars and waited for them to charge completely before you may operate them. Well The Hot wheels RC Stealth Rides Racing Car is a bit dissimilar – you may get started operating it the moment you get it out of the box. It has a folding system. When you pack it you primary make it flat, as if your foot trampled it upon, by picking it up and gently squeezing it amid your thumb and index finger. This action activates an entire set of levers and links that cause the roof and windows to collapse downward into the body and into the sides of the car. Along with this the wheels and tires fold outward to finish the procedure of transforming a three-dimensional object into an closely two-dimensional one. The folded version of the car fits with precision into the huge slot like pouch in the controller. The combined set of folded car and it is controller is only as thick as a thick touch screen mobile phone.

Driving the car requires you to only put it on the ground and press a concealed button on the rear window. The entire car comes together in almost a fraction of second and is ready to vroom. And do not be worried when it comes to any harm to the car due to frequent winding and unwinding – the procedure is utterly safe and perfectly smooth. There are no axles for the car to enable the winding and unwinding actions. The soft rubber tires take a good grip over most indoor surfaces. The Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides Racing Car has a very low ground clearance and consequently must be used indoors only. The front wheels do not steer. For turning the car there are two side motors – one on each side – that drive each of the rear wheels. When you operate one of them the car turns in that direction. If you want the car to spun in place for a good deal of extra fun, play both these motors in opposite directions.

Apart from the low ground clearance that restricts the movements of the car indoors, the only other area of concern is the batteries used to operate it. The 3 batteries enable you to run the car without delay after you buy it. But these AG13 or LR44 batteries are not very mutual and you may have to visit more than one store before you find one. You get three further and added ones with the car. However, that does not diminish the thrilling moments this baby may give you when you drive her. And most significantly this car does not fuss around when you flat it out and park it.

Old School
By Joshua Drake
I subscribed to this magazine for a number of years in high school, and pick up issues of interest, such as their buyer’s guides, from the news stand every once in a while.

Car Action is the premiere magazine in the RC Car category. Covering everything from the cutting edge, sponsored racers, to “Readers’ Rides”, this magazine will keep you up to date and fuel your passion for RC Cars. Even the advertising can be informative, as you get to see what is available in the market.

Although I haven’t picked on up personally in sometime now, I have to make an old school recommendation to all RC Car enthusiasts. Pick up an issue of RC Car action, and see for yourself.

Worth the Money
By L. Poulin
I bought this as another gift for my boyfriend, who is an RC Car fanatic. It is a great publication for the latest in the hobby and for generating ideas for those who build and /or paint their own cars, as my guy does. We will be renewing this subscription!
