New Bright - 1:14 Radio Control Chevy Silverado
$44.99
When I originally received this truck, I started driving it on our gravel driveway. It put up with this abuse for about three days. Then I had to super glue the main drive gear back unto the motor. Now it still runs, but I just use it on smooth surfaces. Battery life is great.

Dragonfly Radio Remote Control Rc Helicopter 2ch RTF
$89.99
This helicopter is a ton of fun. I've never flown any kind of RC before and so I ended up crashing this helicopter into all kinds of obstacles. The best part of it is that the rotor folds up when it gets obstructed and so no permanent damage is done to the rotor blades when you crash. I love this product, I would definitely recommend it for a first time flyer.

Hot Wheels Dune Devil Pro Radio Control Vehicle, Green
$39.99
Two years ago I looked at reviews from Amazon and other RC websites regarding the Dune Devil. Most of the remarks were quite good, so I decided I would take the chance and buy one. I bought the white one first and I was extremely impressed with how fast it was for an inexpensive RC. This is the by far the fastest 9.6v rc I've ever seen from Tyco or Nikko for that matter. With high speed comes frequent spectacular crashes, so I soon found out that the suspension and body were extremely durable. My only complaint initially was that it doesn't have enough low end torque to perform wheelies or enough ground clearence for tall grass, but nevertheless, I enjoyed this RC so much that I bought its counterpart for fun with a friend. The green one is a different frequency than the white, which allows you to operate both simultaneously. These cars easily run 20-30 min on a Nicd battery at ~1000-1200mah. The biggest problem I've encountered with one of the cars is that occasionally, the rear differential will will not connect with the gears and the car will not move. After a bit of nursing along with my foot it engages again. I would definitely give these cars a 5 stars if the differential were more solid, but for thirty bucks, what do you expect?
