Full sized RC Hummer

Surely this is the ultimate boys toy? Every boy loves radio controlled cars, every big boy loves Hummers. A couple of University nerds have combined the two and created a radio controlled full size Hummer.

I want one now.
Steve Catlin, from Hummer, said: “Hummer is like no other - as the ultimate workhorse it is built […]

RC KITT from Knight Rider

Now you too can be the Hoff, the lone crusader who champions the helpless, wears tight jeans and thinks every woman wants him.
Now now, I’m sure every woman does want him. After all, he is the Hoff.
Anyway, you can be just like him, only less hairy’ with this radio controlled KITT Pontiac Trans Am.
If you’re […]

Tank battle on a goat farm

Battling with radio controlled tanks isn’t a game, it’s a way of life. These guys from rctankcombat.com take their tank battles very seriously, and their latest battle on a goat farm was covered by the local press.
I guess the journalist was expecting something serious to come from the not so epic struggle of wooden tank […]

beep beep, blurp beep… RAAAAWWRR!!!

The one thing I love about Americans is their dedication to nerdy things. When an American gets interested in something, he doesn’t just buy a few items and stick some posters on his bedroom wall, he immerses himself head, shoulders and ankles into the whole culture.
Take Star Wars for example, it’s about the closest thing […]

Tamiya Porsche 935 turbo is the Transformer Jazz

One of the best looking of the Tamiya radio controlled car models has to be this Porsche 935 Turbo, not just because it’s a great looking car and is based on a racing model, but because it looks just like the Transformer Jazz.

Jazz was always the best of the original Generation One Autobot cars and […]

Tamiya Mud Blaster

The Tamiya Mud Blaster was my first ever radio controlled car. When I say my first, I mean my first proper one. My first one that required assembly, my first one that was truly quick.
The Mud Blaster featured a Subaru Brat body on top of a Blackfoot chassis, then equipped with massive tyres from a […]

Tvbgone

One of the greatest pleasures in life is watching someone dumbfounded at why their TV doesn’t work. I know, I’ve seen this in action. What better way to spend a few hours that wandering around pubs, switching off the TV sets with a tiny, hidden, universal remote such as the Tvbgone?

The Remote’s cost just a […]

Some seriously fast rc boats

When I last played with my radio controlled boat it was in a very small boating lake and was quite slow and serene. I’ve never really considered radio controlled boats to be that quick, but this video puts a different take on it. These boats are absolutely flying (well, sailing) along at incredible speeds.
I’m still […]
