Maisto Street Troopers Mobilized Attack Vehicle PT-808

You say you're looking for a remote-control car that's a bit less ordinary? Look no further than the Maisto Street Troopers Mobilized Attack Vehicle PT-808. At first glance, it has the edgy looks of a super sports car from the future; upon further inspection, the Street Troopers Mobilized Attack Vehicle reveals itself to be something altogether different. This remote-control car transforms into a robot at the touch of a button on the remote control unit, and can drive on its two rear wheels even while in the upright position. As if that weren't enough, it can also shoot small missiles at the driver's command. Reviewers on Amazon.com universally enjoy this toy remote-control car, with many pointing out that its unique capabilities make it a winner. Generally, the owners emphasize how much fun it is, and how it embodies the highly sought-after cool factor with kids.

Additionally, this RC car has some of the traditional remote-control car virtues, such as good speed and quick turning ability with forward/reverse controls for each of the rear wheels. The remote-control unit can be operated on three different selectable frequencies, meaning that three Street Troopers can be operated simultaneously by different users, making all-out living room battles easy. This remote-control car runs on seven AA batteries (not included), which a few reviewers say need to be replaced more often than expected. One reviewer also notes the Street Trooper's limited range, making it best for indoor usage rather than long-range outdoor operation.
