What do you think about Radi Shack "Hover Storm" ?

Yes, Im looking for something cheap and not really into a professional model.

I saw this Radio Shack Hover Storm:

I know many will say there are no replacement. Yes that's an important issue regarding rc vehicles.

But, overall, are Radio Shack products, reliable?

Thanks all!

Just got one of these for my 5 yr old as an early XMas pressie.

Had more fun on it than he did.

Pros - works great, quite fast

Cons - Batt housing is 'in house' so I cant use my plane charger to fast charge.

Only tested on ashphalt at local school. Just waiting for the boy to smash it so daddy can get his hands on it and UPGRADE !! :D :D

Mine was from Aust and called an XCraft made by Top Notch Toys (TNT-RC)

how fast is quite fast? might have to get one!

[ravencsr]

Acceptable fast ;)

Not too slow to get boring very quick, but also not blistering fast.

As I said, it would be interesting to upgrade to brushless and lipo.

Hello!
thank you for all your answers guys,

I think if battery is enclosed, it would not be hard to unscrew whatever screw there are and take it out and replace it with a good quality battery, right?

Do you know the voltage of the battery?

So yours is not actually a Radio Shack product but a TNT-RC?

Thanks!

Try running it on a 9.6 v nimh.
