Autoleikit ovat kiivaimmillaan, mutta auton akku alkaa näyttämään tyhjenemisen merkkejä. Leikki täytyy jättää lataamisen ajaksi ikävästi kesken, sillä akku pitää saada ladattua. Onneksi leikkejä voi jatkaa nopeasti uudestaan, mikäli on hankkinut vara-akun tällaisia hetkiä varten. Täyteen ladattu akku on nopea ja helppo vaihtaa tyhjentyneen tilalle ja leikit voivat taas jatkua. Over the past few years, we have had our fair share of remote control cars to play with. 9/10 they tend to get broken within a couple of weeks due to Oliver and Arthur getting hold of them and ripping the ariels off! As they are now older and more understanding of how they work, they tend to appreciate them better. So when we were sent a Nikko VelociTrax to review I was confident they wouldn’t break it. Vesileikkeihin saa mukavasti lisävauhtia Nikko Camo Class -veneiden ansiosta. Uuden 2,4 GHz taajuuden ansiosta samalla alueella voi uittaa jopa kymmenen eri venettä, eivätkä ne häiritse toisiaan. Veneet toimivat jopa 40 metrin päässä lähettimestä, joten sillä voi ajaa pitkänkin matkan päässä. Nikko-veneet antavat mukavaa tekemistä rantojen äärelle tai uima-altaalle. M has been living in his @TheRealTomGates pyjamas recently, and I think he might wear these when his World Book Day dress-up day comes around (the school celebrate with Book Week rather than just Book Day)⁠

It can be used both indoors and outdoors, you just need a big enough indoor area for them to use while jumping. Although we’ve had very mild weather for October, the game is a good way to keep them busy active when it’s wet and miserable outside. The boys have been fans of Tom Gates for a while now. M has always loved reading books that make him laugh and contain humour - they tend to keep him engaged in reading.⁠The Jump-It Wipeout is a musical jump challenge where you try to beat the rotating soft foam jump bar. The aim is to either jump until the time is up or until you Wipeout! This writer can’t express enough just how well this buggy handles. The neoprene-covered steering-wheel on the radio transmitter makes it very easy to control the vehicle, even on the most winding terrain and the car’s weight distribution is set just right so it invariably lands on all four wheels when hitting even the highest jumps. Equally mindblowing is the amount of time the batteries last. Our test car kept going for about 20 minutes of near-constant driving with regular full-throttle bursts. More exhilarating to drive – excitingly noisy, and the sweet smell emitted by the exhaust is also strangely pleasant Much more temperamental than battery-powered cars and require frequent fuel mixture tweaking which can be frustrating Pihalla käy melkoinen vilske, kun useampi kauko-ohjattava Nikko-auto ovat kilpasilla keskenään. Vauhtia ja vaarallisia tilanteita riittää, ja sekös vasta autojen ohjaajista onkin hauskaa! Kenen auto pääsee ensimmäisenä maaliin, vai onko kyseessä taitokisa, jossa kisataan parhaimman esteradan ratkaisusta? Tehokkaat pienet autot ovat saaneet myös useammat vanhemmat lastensa lisäksi innostumaan radio-ohjattavien autojen maailmasta.

This entry-level 1/8th-scale RTR model is a great intro to the wonderfully noisy and smelly world of nitro. Bear in mind that nitro cars are more fiddly than their electric counterparts so be prepared to first run the engine in before making any final adjustments to the fuel and air mixture. You do need to charge the vehicle for an hour before you can use it so it might be worth doing this before the kids get hold of it. The Velocitrax comes with a charger for recharging the battery for the actual vehicle itself, and the remote control requires 3 AAA batteries which are included. Nikko Vaporizr -mallit ovat erittäin suosittuja leikki-ikäisten keskuudessa. Niiden suosiota lisää se, että niillä voi ajaa epätasaisessa maastossa, lumella sekä vedessä. Nikko Vaporizr -autot ovat pienehköjä, suurirenkaisia ja muotoilultaan ketteriä, jonka ansiosta niillä ajaminen on yhtä riemua. Autoille on mukava rakentaa esteratoja, sillä ne ylittävät yllättävänkin suuria esteitä. Nikko Vaporitzr -autot soveltuvat sekä sisä- että ulkokäyttöön. 2,4 GHz taajuus mahdollistaa todelliset kilpailut, sillä jopa kymmenen autoa voivat ajaa saman aikaisesti häiritsemättä toisiaan.Esimerkiksi Nikko Vaporizr autoihin soveltuva Nikko 6V -koteloakku sekä laturi on erinomainen lisä auton lisänä, sillä sen avulla leikkimisen ajan voi toinen akku olla latauksessa, joten käytössä kuluneen akun tilalle saa nopsasti vaihdettua ladatun akun. Run all day long – only need a top-up of nitro fuel between runs (nitro methanol is easily obtainable at most hobby stores).

Best to visit by car, nearest stations are 3/4 miles away (Boxhill & Westhumble, Bookham and Dorking)⁠ If you’re looking for ultra-high-speed thrills and a car that will soak up a lot of punishment, then we can’t think of a better option than this exceptional high-end entry. If you prefer the smell of nitro in the morning, consider the equally speedy HPI Trophy Truggy 4.6 reviewed above. Most RC buggies are available in either two-wheel drive or 4WD configurations. Two-wheel drive vehicles are easier to fix in the event of a mishap but don’t grip as well as their 4WD counterparts. What are the pros and cons of electric RC cars? Nikko-veneet ovat suunnattu 8–13 -vuotiaille, mutta mikäpä estäisi leikkimielistä aikuista tarttumasta ohjaimiin ja aloittamaan kunnon venekilpailun! We took M there for his birthday and he was heaven. He spent his time running around not knowing what to look at first.The first thing you need to decide is whether you want an electric or nitro buggy. Nitro cars run on a mixture of sweet-smelling methanol and nitromethane and are de rigeur among enthusiasts. Nitro cars are noisier and often more powerful than their electric counterparts but their engines do require a lot of maintenance and tuning. Conversely, most electric cars aren’t quite as fast (unless you choose a brushless motor) but they’re much easier for beginners to get a handle on and they also run much quieter. What size or scale of RC car should I buy? Great for competing with family and friends of all ages, Jump-It Wipeout will test your timing, reactions, agility and fitness. The next thing to decide is car size. RC models come in a variety of scales such as 1:8, 1:10 and 1:14. However, 1:8 (or 1/8th scale) is the most popular standard and the size most often referred to when talking RC models. The average one-eighth scale RC buggy is about 500mm in length while one-tenth scale buggies measure around 400mm. Naturally, the higher the scale number, the smaller the vehicle. There's also a range of Tom Gates items, including games, puzzles and greeting cards at major retailers.⁠ AD] As Stay Active Ambassadors, the boys have been testing out another one of @CharacterToys products this month.
