Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its huge rear tire, the Tyco RC Terrainiac is able to tear through dirt, rip through water, and even shred through snow! This high-performance all-terrain radio-controlled vehicle sports an oversized, single rear tire that looks more like a ball with tread. Aside from giving the Terrainiac a futuristic appearance, this approach allowed Tyco engineers to make the car pivot (similar to a human torso) on one controllable joint. Two front rubber tires and two tires in the middle for extra traction make sure that the Terrainiac can hit high speeds. Add in "sphere drive" and now you can turn on a dime and cruise over wet terrain, thanks to the hollow construction that gives the durable plastic tire buoyancy. A spring on top of the car helps absorb more adventurous bumps or jumps.

A huge, hollow back tire allows this RC vehicle to cruise over water.

A futuristic vehicle with unique controls. Colors may vary.

Because this car has unique motion, with the rear section twisting sideways, it requires a unique controller. You actually twist the controller to steer the vehicle, while using the forward and backward paddles to change direction. Give it a spin on dirt, water, grass, asphalt, or even sand. The Tyco Terrainiac is definitely a multi-terrain titan!

Everything that you need to start tearing it up right out of the box is included: the Terrainiac All-Terrain vehicle; twist-action digital transmitter; one 9v battery; and a turbo rechargeable 9.6v battery pack and charger.

Product Description

Embark on a rip-roaring, radio-controlled adventure with this all-terrain titan!

My 8 year old son just got this for his birthday and it is the coolest toy. My husband I think enjoyed it more than my son. It can take a beating! He had it going through corn fields, on hilly land, in the water, down the street, in the sand and it only suffered one little scratch. He runs it until the battery dies every time. Definetly an enjoyed toy. Hopefully it the amusment doesn't wear off. He's looking forward to doing it in the snow.

Santa brought the terrainic RC to my little boys ages 8 and 10...Oh my Gosh they screamed Christmas Morning when they opened the box! It was what they had dreamed about after seeing the commercial. I did my homework and read consumer reviews and Amazons reviews and all made this a perfect gift. Its not educational other than focusing on knowing it can surely ride in our ditches and then over mud holes..but it puts the children outside having a blast!
I recommend this toy highly.
Only downfall was the fender broke off of one of the toys but no big deal.
Cool Cool Cool....

We gave this to our grandson (5)for Christmas, it turns out to be the best gift ever! He smashes it into everything and it keeps going. Highly recommend additional battery pack for continuous play. Very fun for all of our kids from 4 yr(who chases it), 7yrs(races his car against it), 11 yrs (who is really good at driving it) and parents who love their fun.
