Equipped with oval block tires and working front and rear suspension, the Micro Terrain Titans Fox Mini Blue remote-control car conquers tough indoor terrain. The infrared controller/charger lets you steer it, drive it in reverse, and send it into overdrive with the "turbo" button. Designed for ages eight and up, and featuring a controller that charges the vehicle's battery, this realistic replica gives an impressive performance on all kinds of indoor surfaces.

Ages: 8+ Requires: 3 "AAA" batteries (not included) Screwdriver for battery installation

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Miniature remote control car is equipped with powerful all-terrain features. The Challenging: Car is too delicate for extreme stunts. In a Nutshell: With front and rear suspension and a "turbo" accelerator, this car is unstoppable on most indoor surfaces.

These miniature, remote-controlled cars are designed for all-terrain racing. View larger.

Real Working Suspension
With front and rear suspension, oval block tires, and a skid plate, this flashy red car is tough enough for all kinds of indoor surfaces. Kids can test the car's performance on carpets, uneven floors, or homemade obstacle courses. The controller/charger features steering control while driving in forward or reverse, a "turbo" button for acceleration, and a trim adjuster that optimizes steering.

Recharge Car's Battery in 50 Seconds
Before taking the Micro for a spin, an adult should help install the controller/charger's three "AAA" batteries (not included). An included instruction manual guides you through the process of aligning the Micro to the top of the controller to recharge the car's internal battery. A green light indicates the battery is charging, and in approximately 50 seconds, the car is ready for up to 10 minutes of driving time.

Conquer Any Indoor Surface
Except for very thick shag carpeting, the Micro can drive anywhere in your home. To ensure straight driving, adjust a trim switch located on the car's hood. The controller's throttle and direction buttons control right forward, left forward, right backward, and left backward movements.

Accelerate with Turbo Boost
Need a little extra power to overcome an obstacle and win the race? Hit the "turbo" button on the controller/charger and send the Micro into overdrive.

Each of the different Terrain Titans is wired to a different frequency, allowing up to four different Micro models to race simultaneously. Test your off-road driving skills on a tough, obstacle-strewn floor, against family and friends.

The Micro may accumulate dust or lose its front wheels in a driving accident. Refer to instruction manual for the process of removing/replacing both the front and rear wheels. Adults may want to assist when cleaning the car or snapping the wheels back into place.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neat RC car - a bit tempermental - for older kids and adults only, October 27, 2009

This review is from: Micro Terrain Titans Remote Control Fox Mini Blue (Toy)

I have read all the reviews & I knew before we got one of these cars that they had issues. I would have to say that most or all of the 'issues' are things an adult or older child can easily deal with. I would not recommend this toy for a younger child UNLESS they have a lot of parent support to help them get this car back on the road. Our biggest problem is that it has little tiny gears that fill up with pet hairs. It just takes a minute to pop the back wheels off & clean them out but it isn't a job for a small child.
We have also accidentally bumped the channel button - it took us a few minutes to figure out why it didn't work.
The car also has a time out after 3 minutes, after which you have to turn it off & on.
Other than those, minor & expected issues - it is an awesome little RC car! Our whole family has enjoyed this, including our cats ;o)
I would definately recommend this for an older child or adult who reads the manual ahead of time & understand that it is a little delicate machine that needs some periodic maintenance. It is not for a child that will drop it in the toy box or leave it laying out on the floor - one step would shatter it for sure.
So, for the right person, this is an awesome toy but for the wrong person, this could be fodder for a landfill...do choose this item wisely & read all the reviews. There is nothing inherently wrong with this item, it is all just knowing how to use it!

This review is from: Micro Terrain Titans Remote Control Fox Mini Blue (Toy)

This is a great toy any kid would be lucky to have. But if you are looking for one because you saw the commercials than you may be a little bit disappointed. Don't get m wrong its great, but they over advertised it. I think you shouldn't listen to people who bash it. Its great.

This review is from: Micro Terrain Titans Remote Control Fox Mini Blue (Toy)

Just got this and have to say I was SHOCKED at how tiny it is. It's truly about the size of a Hot Wheels car. I thought it was going to be much bigger. Additionally, it is VERY delicate. Also, it works on IR, not radio, so daytime outdoor use is not going to happen. That's OK, since it should be only be used indoors. I bought it so my son could drive it on our carpet where his other car stalls out, but forget it, it's far too small for that.

That said, it does work as advertised, the little remote is easy to figure out for kiddos and the one-minute recharge is cool. I recommend getting at least 6 rechargeable AAA batteries to rotate in and out of the remote or you'll spend a fortune on AAA batts.

It's a neat little car but again, it's REALLY tiny (it's basically the size of a slot car) and delicate, too delicate for my 3-year-old. I'm letting him play with it but I know it will only last a day and then be broken, good thing it only cost a fiver.

I'm going to get something a little bigger for him next time.
