The TYCO R/C Stunt Psycho is a remote-control vehicle capable of performing stunts, including flips, wheelies, and spins. Designed for ages eight and up, the Stunt Psycho performs multi-terrain stunts at the hands of the controller. Bigger kids and adults will also enjoy mastering the helm of the Stunt Psycho.

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Novelty factor: The Good: Built to handle multi-terrain stunts. The Challenging: Sometimes gets stuck upside down. In a Nutshell: Remote-control vehicle that performs amazing flips, spins, and wheelies.

Designed for ages eight and up, the Stunt Psycho vehicle performs flips, wheelies, spins and more. View larger.

Fast and Furious
While you're not behind the driver's seat, the transmitter puts you in full control of this stunt vehicle. Two driving controls that slide forward and backward are all it takes to propel and tweak the Stunt Psycho through its tricks. The left and right buttons each control only the wheels on their side, allowing you to make quick turns and high-speed tornado spins. Sliding both controls at once sets the Psycho going fast in forward or reverse -- and even faster when you press the yellow turbo button on the top right of the remote controller.

With a durable, hard plastic body, and fast-spinning, flexible wheels, this remote-control vehicle is built to handle multi-terrain stunts. A low-to-the-ground design and wings on top help the Stunt Psycho turn flips, spin, and keep its balance when popping wheelies. Made with a monster look, the Stunt Psycho has light-up eyes to assist you in navigating the terrain.

Turn Tricks From the Get-Go
Losing control is part of the enjoyment of the Stunt Psycho. It's easy to begin flipping the vehicle without really trying. The car sometimes gets stuck upside down and you have to turn it over by hand. Most of the time -- with enough space -- driving it in the opposite direction, and then quickly reversing it, will fix the problem.

Performing a tornado spin is a two-step process. You first need to pop a wheelie -- get the vehicle to stand on its back two wheels -- before getting the Stunt Psycho to spin. With some time and practice, anyone can become an expert at all the moves.

While this vehicle is made to handle indoor and outdoor terrains, it works best on firm, flat surfaces, like wood, carpet, and cement. The Stunt Psycho should not be driven through water, sand, or snow. The vehicle should be switched off when you're done playing, and remove the batteries from the remote when not in use.

What's in the Box
Remote-control vehicle (red) and transmitter/controller.

The light-up eyes enhances the monster look, but this features delivers double-duty and helps you navigate terrain in the dark.

I bought this for my 3 year old and he loves it. It's not too fast, it turns on a dime, and it can handle any terrain and even a really messy house! It goes right over everything and wont ding or dent your walls. My 5 year old got the FastLane JLX overdrive (over 100 dollars) and I am worried about it denting parked cars on the street. I wish I had gotten two of these instead. The glowing eyes are super cool, and my favorite part is that you don't have to get a pair of mini screw drivers just to change the batteries. It has little clamps you just move to the side instead. The unboxing was also great. There's no wires to unwind but instead clips you only have to rotate and the thing pops right out of the box. I'm very pleased with this RC car!

I purchased this for my grandson who said he wanted a stunt vehicle. I saw this and read the other reviews. I received it much sooner than expected and when my grandson opened it at his birthday party, it was the only present that got a "COOL!" This vehicle is a hefty truck and seems very sturdy. It actually does what it claims. Not like a lot of commercial hype you see on toy commercials. After a few minutes of practice, my grandson had it backing up on 2-wheels and climbing up chair legs. (Don't worry, it's plastic with rubber on the wheels.) Since my grandson's party, I asked him if he still likes his gift -- he complained that his 12-year-old sister keeps sneaking it out of his room and bringing it outside to play with it. I consider that a 'yes.'

The Stunt Psycho is great! Very powerful and durable. One thing to keep in mind, the red and the green run on different frequencies. So if you want two together buy one red and one green. Price point is less than half of Big Box Toy store. Our boys love them, 5 & 7.Great product, great price, great vendor.
