The CyClaws from Bandai is a fast and furious remote-control car with wicked wheels that transform into claws. When the wheels are closed, this RC vehicle can gun at high speeds, but when the wheels are transformed into claws they facilitate claw flips, wheelies, and spins. Kids aged 8 years and up will be fascinated by the CyClaws' speedy reaction time and crazy stunts.

Activate the claws to perform flips, wheelies, spins, and other stunts. . An RC Car with Several Wicked Action ModesThe CyClaws from Bandai is no ordinary remote-control vehicle. This durable, dust-kicking machine is designed like a sleek racing car with monster wheels that transform into claws. Each tire features a locking mechanism that allows you to drive with the tire claws open or closed. The tires can be adjusted separately, making this RC vehicle versatile and open to experimentation.
When its wheels are locked in closed-claw mode, the CyClaws runs like a high-speed RC car that can stop on a dime. Drive this vehicle in open-claw mode, and it runs like a creature with a mind of its own. When its claws are out, the CyClaws performs flips, wheelies, spins, and other astounding stunts. Look out for the driver when the car flips--you'll see him on the car's undercarriage.
The wheels switch from regular to claw-like manually, via remote control, or when the vehicle bumps into obstacles. Though you and your child will be operating the CyClaws, it will still react and perform tricks spontaneously.
Simple Set Up and Easy-to-Use Remote ControlBandai's CyClaws comes equipped with a battery pack for the car, a battery charger, and 9-volt battery for the remote control. Before handing this RC vehicle to your kids, you'll need to charge the 9.6-volt battery pack with the included charger for four hours.
Because the CyClaws is fast and may react spontaneously when it runs into obstacles, it's recommended for outdoor use on pavements, sidewalks, or turfs with short grass. The remote control's two joysticks allow for more nuanced movement of the CyClaws. This will come in handy when you want CyClaws to perform astonishing spins.

Customer Reviews
We've been buying various "big wheel" RC trucks, cars, etc. for the last couple years in the hope of finding one that can actually go through grass or over a twig without stalling. We've taken every one back. Our son is only 7 so we weren't going to invest the $250-$350 in the "real" RC cars that have 4 wheel drive and do 35mph+ everywhere and anywhere. We just wanted a cool toy that would work on the rug, and incline and grass and not cost a lot of money. After reading others' reviews and seeing the video of the Cyclaws I thought that if this lived up to half it's hype it might be worth it.
First of all, 'conditioning' the battery per the directions has given us something over 20min. of run time by the 3rd charge. For those who have complained about this as too short a run time I have to assume they've kind of missed the point. I frankly can't believe the car has even stood up to the 50+ min. of running we've done with it so far. The videos actually understate the performance. This thing is beyond wild. My son even ran over it with his bike while I was chasing him with it and it seemed like it could take that punishment all day long. The wheels and tires don't seem like they would hold up to a lot of abuse but after serious concrete, and shell rock punishment I don't even see wear!
The speed control is all on or off. It's not proportional but no big deal. It's price seems similar to many other RC cars that don't deliver anything close to the capabilities. I got it on sale at Amazon before Christmas and paid $60. That's about $20 more than the 'sale' price of most of the Christmas RC fare I had seen and tried before. Worth it!
This a a fun, super durable RC car. My 5 and 8 year boys love it and would play with it for hours IF the battery life wasn't so poor. This is the reason for the 3 star reason. After the first few runs with it, the car only runs for about 20 minutes at most.
