You can buy a radio controlled vehicle off the shelf, but you can't beat the experience of building one from scratch yourself. A real sense of real ownership comes with personally constructing your own awesome off-road Erector vehicle. A great toy because you can build it, modify it, drive it & compete with other radio controlled off-the-shelf units.

Winner of the 2004 "Best Youth Hobby Award" from Hobby Outlook Magazine.
The first Erector toy with a radio controlled motor. Tremendous speed & power in a highly attractive, rugged design. You'll have as much fun in the process of putting it together as you do racing it when it's completed.

The wheels will really be turning when you put this one together! This versatile toy challenges imagination, inspires observation, deductive reasoning, logical thinking, principles of mechanics, physics & problem solving. A quality toy that exercises the brain as well as building hand-eye coordination. Hours of construction fun, this radio controlled truck will focus your concentration so you achieve that positive sense of a job well done.

Many distinctive advantages. 3 great models can be built with this versatile set: Jeep, Off-Road Racer, Quad ATV. Quality components. Includes remote (with built in tool holders) which allows for forward/backward & left/right mobility, 6 volt Ni-Cd battery pack & a charger, a 9 volt battery (-you don't have to buy anything else to get your first R/C model rolling!) Impressive flexibility-bend the spring steel parts, and they return to their original position. The instructions are within age recommendation; clear, easy to follow. The tools supplied are a definite fit for the job.

Try racing around with this great learning toy. An excellent, excellent product.

    This truck would not work on grass, gravel, sand, or any other off-road surface. It is fine on pavement or cement. I was disappointed. It is not a off-road truck in function.

    Since I am a Grammie, I can only review this item through the words and reaction of my nine year-old grandson, " WOW! THIS IS GREAT!". He was so engrossed with it, he hardly touched his birthday cake.

    The RC truck set is a great way to engage my summer enrichment students in spatial, logical and kinesthetic intelligences. The younger students definitely need guidance through the instructions, but I have had a number of kids in my room who are capable of completing 95% of the work without my assistance. The only real hassle I have found is that the nuts come loose when the cars vibrate as they drive; Superglue and Gorilla Glue have become an addition to every model we build.

    Review of Erector Set Design Radio Controlled Off-Road Truck
    Posted 1/31/2008 by Kirk Skinner

    The build was fun. My daughter and I had a blast. I was very disappointed in the remote control. The transmission acts like it has issues. The truck barely moves and makes clicking noises when in motion. When you pick the truck up and take weight off the tires they turn fine. The pay off for all the hard work was horrible but at least my daughter and I enjoyed the time together. (Note from Fat Brain Toys: Due to a faulty transmission, our customer will pick out another remote control vehicle to try.)

    My 7 year old nephew loves it. It's just difficult enough to challenge him.
