Big Foot Ragin Monster Remote Control

The "Big Foot Ragin Monster Remote Control" by MGA Entertainment is great for the child who has graduated from the beginner remote control car, but still fun enough to keep upper elementary-aged children entertained.

аHistorical Quote

The world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves can not drown him. He snaps his fingers at laws; and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

Commando Challenge Remote Control 2 Tank Set

The "Commando Challenge Remote Control 2 Tank Set" by Interactive Toy Concepts LTD is an awesome toy for elementary children and teenagers. This toy is a great choice for a family with two kids or with a parent who likes to join in the fun because it includes 2 tanks that can battle it out. These tanks are a 1:33 scale replica of the real thing and even include realistic sound, smoke, and lighting effects. The tanks are capable of moving over most types of terrain and can move in any direction. Action figures are also included in the set. After the tank is hit four times in battle, the action figure is ejected from the seat. Each tank has its own wireless control on independent frequencies, which makes it possible for both to run at the same time without interruption from the other controller. Fourteen AA batteries are needed to control the tanks.

Micro Flyers RTF Remote Control Airplane

The "Micro Flyers RTF Remote Control Airplane" by Watt-Age is a great choice for any elementary aged or teenage child who is interested in flying. This remote control airplane is the smallest mass-produced toy of its kind. It is simple to use, making it great for beginners to remote control aircraft. Yet, it is advanced enough to please the avid hobbyist. The airplane is actually quite small, with only a 9-inch wingspan. Yet, the plane is highly maneuverable with its two-channel radio transmitter control and has a range of 150 feet. The user is able to control the throttle and the rudder movement and can get over 6 minutes of flying time from one charge. In addition, the controller doubles as a battery charger for the 150mAH LiPo battery that is included. The small size makes it possible to fly the plane both indoors and out.

Shell Shocker

The "Shell Shocker" by Tyco R/C is an incredible machine capable of undergoing "shocking" transformations. Through its innovative design, the Shell Shocker can change from a ball shape into a beast capable of driving on grass, mud, and pavement. It also utilizes a large front wheel, making it capable of flipping and driving over obstacles. The manufacture suggests this toy for children over 8, though younger children will certainly enjoy playing with it and watching it in action. The controls, however, may be a little too complicated for younger children. Nonetheless, the entire family will be thoroughly entertained with this remote control toy. You will need to purchase a separate Tyco ProFlex BP&C battery for the toy.
