At a Glance:
- 2.4 GHz car reaches speeds of 20 mph

- Auto-pairing automatically connects the car and controller
- Battery-powered controller charges your car without needing an outlet
High Speeds and Roll Bar Keep Car in Action
This RC car, with 2.4 GHz performance, can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour. This is approximately 500 miles per hour in scaled speed. With this amount of speed, the car can really catch air off jumps. Suspension halfway along the car allows it to conquer small obstacles, although running over anything bigger than an electrical cord is challenging due to its size.
A flexible roll bar turns the car upright if it flips. Constructed of clear plastic, the roll bar is flexible enough to give way during impact and toss the car back onto its wheels, yet resilient enough that it won't easily tear. The roll bar also contributes to the aerodynamics of the car, as it encounters jumps and races along the ground.
Auto-Pairing, Wide-Range Controller
The pistol-grip double-handed controller automatically connects to the car when it is switched on, so there is no need to fiddle with frequencies. Because the controller has a multiband frequency, kids can race up to 10 cars at once without interfering signals.
The controller also features a wide 100-foot range, so you can drive the car without having to chase it to stay in range.
Full Control of Speed and Direction
The driving difficulty level of this RC car is rated as expert and designed to give you full control over the motion of the vehicle. With a slow and fast mode, forward and backward lever, three-point turning control, and trim control button, the controller offers quick and accurate direction of the car.
The controller's side knob turns to three points, allowing you to send the car left, right, and straight. The forward and backward lever is sensitive enough to give you control over your car's speed during turns.
Charges on the Go
The controller takes six AA batteries (not included) and plugs into the RC car to charge. While the instructions estimate 30 to 50 minutes to charge the car, our testers found that once charging began, the process was much quicker. To preserve battery life, your controller will turn off after five minutes of disuse.
Comes with Indoor and Outdoor Tires
This RC car is an all-terrain vehicle, thanks to the two sets of tires. The foam indoor tires drive well on carpeted surfaces, and the rubber tires take on outdoor or smooth surfaces with ease thanks to their added traction. The tires are easy to change out: Simply slide them off the wheel, and replace them with their matching counterpart.
What's in the Box
Air Hogs Hyperactives Pro Aero GX car, four rubber tires, four foam tires, one pistol grip remote, and instruction manual.

Fast and Cool! November 6, 2011
By Sapere Aude TOP 500 REVIEWER
Durability: Educational: Fun:
Got this for my nephew for his birthday, it was a huge hit! Boy does this thing go fast! The self-righting technology is pretty cool too, if the car flips, the roll bar flexes a little and bounces the car back upright!I wish we had two of them to race, the kids really enjoyed taking turns and setting up jumps to see how much air they could get with this thing. I was impressed with the distance the controller could go too. You really want to have a big space to race this around for maximum effect.RC cars have improved so much since I was a kid, I couldn't believe the range and speed on this toy.

Price isn't Right with Amazon December 29, 2011
By Mark A. Klendworth
Durability: Educational: Fun:
I'm surprised that Amazon is selling this for $50.00. Normal retail at Toys R Us (who are always high of course) was $49.99, but they had it on sale along with Walmart for $39.99. The day after Christmas it was on sale for $29.99. Not a bad little car, but of course it is just a toy. My son is enjoying it so I can't complain.

If it works it is fun, sketchy controller! April 23, 2012
By Morley Dotes
Durability: Educational: Fun:
The first one we got did not work and we had to return it....BIG disappointment, as my son got this for his birthday. It would not charge, and the directions made it seem like the batteries were not good because the lights flashed in the same way that the directions described as low battery.....but the batteries were brand new, and worked well in other toys! The second one works, and charges (with same batteries). It takes a long time to charge, and the charge only lasts about 5-10 minutes depending on surface, etc. On the carpet it drains faster than on the hardwood floors. It's tough to enjoy this 5 minutes at a time!The controller is VERY twitchy, and reverse has a lag of about 2 seconds (at least mine does). Also, it is very hard to modulate the speed (forward and reverse). It seems that you really have to go full blast....and when you do, it's FAST! Unfortunately, it's harder to control at full speed. Also, the turning radius for such a small rc car is not very tight. If you do not have a large room, you really need to use this outside.I love the anti-roll "device." It does work very well. Unfortunately, they don't seem very durable, and I'm afraid it will go the same as the helicopters we had (into the garbage after a week of use).This is a solid 3.5 stars. If my controller worked well, I would have added another star, but at this price, there is no reason for so many problems. This is one product that warrants the purchase of an extended warranty and a good return policy!

My 18 year old son and my 14 year old nephew both love this car. Very fast and accurate. It was smaller than I anticipated, but all of the expense is in the QUALITY of the car.

Mis-represented dimensions
The dimensions indicated in the item description are incorrect. The car shown is not 10x12x4.5 as the description shows. This was very disappointing but our grandson understood. Read more

Expensive!
As a toy, my son loves it. But found it MUCH cheaper at Walmart. So much cheaper, that I returned this one. Glad Amazon's return policy is so easy.

What is the most widely spoken language in the USA? :o) toy doesn't...
Great looking car but overpriced. It's small and lightweight, looks very fragile. Would have been fun to play with, but we need to find instructions since they are all (two pages)... Read more
