Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Despite its small size, the Air Hogs Hyperactives Pro Aero GX car is powerful, aerodynamic, and packed with features. At 2.4 GHz, this RC car can reach speeds of 20 miles per hour. Recommended for kids 12 years and older, this car features a flexible roll bar that will turn the car right-side up if it flips. The car's controller runs on a multiband frequency that allows kids to run up to 10 cars at once for lots of racing action.

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.

[EDITED 9/15/11] Amazon's price is now 49.99 which is good.
Before i begin I'd like to tell you all NOT TO BUY THIS PRODUCT FROM AMAZON. On amazon this product is WAY OVERPRICED. Get it from target for only 49 dollars(like i did). Or walmart, k-mart, and toysrus. they all sell this same exact product for 49 dollars only. Now to the review.
This r/c car is probably the best one out there, and its cheap, too. The hyperactive r/c car is CRAZY FAST, just like they say in the commercial. On the box it says up to 20 MPH! It uses 2.4 GHz so you can use the car up to 100 feet away and it will still be driving just like it was 5 feet away! The remote control is like a gun shaped remote, not like the big flat ones. The remote uses 6 AA batteries(not included), and the car gets charged from the charge cable via the remote. I haven't done any tricks with it yet, but Ive managed to pull off a few drifts with it outside. It also comes with 4 extra tires. The four that are already on the car can be used indoor or outdoor, but the other four are foam and are to be used inside only. The directions are pretty clear, and they even have a problem/troubleshooting guide.
There are a few minor downsides to this car though. First of all, sometimes the car spins around in a circle when you turn it a little bit outside.(This could be a good thing for you, it depends). Secondly, its about the size of your hand so it can get lost if not payed attention to, and could get stuck under furniture. This isn't really a big problem, but if your the type of person who loses stuff easily, this could get lost under one of your furniture. Just keep your eyes on it when you play with it and don't let little kids get a hold of it. Lastly, and most importantly, is the battery life of the car. It only takes about a half hour to charge, but the car battery dies quickly. Like after 20-40 minutes of constant play the battery will die(you'll notice it will stop moving and a red light will start blinking). This is the biggest problem and i really wish they'd make a hyperactive 2.0 or something with a lot longer battery life. Because in the middle of me using it the battery just shuts of on me and i have to keep recharging it.
Overall, this is a really good r/c car. Probably the best one yet. The only real problem is the battery life. But if you like r/c cars, this is not one you'd want to pass up!

Bought this for Xmas for my son. I can't comment on how much fun it is or how well it works since it doesn't work at all. The controller won't synch to the car, so no-go. It appears to just over-priced poorly made junk.

We bought 4 of them. 1 for each kid in our family. THey were great for about the first 10 minutes. They did come charge. Once you use them for about 10 minutes, the remote loses sync with the car. Then about every 15 seconds you have to re-sync the remote to the car. They look godd and move very quickly when it is synced to the remote. But it is a real pain having to re-sync the remote back to the car every few seconds. Do not buy, they are not worth it, we are returning all 4 of ours. We also have a spy copter that worked fine for the first day, now it will no longer charge.
