If you have ever played cops and robbers or some variation as a kid, you will love the spy camera helicopter available from Nitrotek. It comes with a wireless spy camera and recorder so does not just show you what it can see, but you can also record the video to for playback later.

The helicopter itself is larger than most other home helicopters so you will find it is more stable when flying in the air. The dual rotor blades make it easier to fly so makes it even more stable to fly. One reason to make it bigger and more stable is the wireless camera is has inside which sends the video back and can be downloaded to your PC via the USB port.

Even if the helicopter has gone out of sight, you can still fly it by viewing the video which is being shown to you on the fly.

The transmitter for this spy helicopter is a 4 channel version and comes with the new 2.4Ghz technology which eliminates interference from other sources nearby.

At Christmas time, many people throughout the UK look for a RC Helicopter to buy as a present to someone or just for themselves. This usually consists of a low quality rc heli but if you want a decent quality helicopter, then have a look at this Apache from Nitrotek.

It looks amazing when in the air and very easy to fly. These come with a twin blade and can be flown by anyone with just a little practise so a brilliant way to get into the hobby of rc helicopters. The feeling of flying a helicopter is brilliant and now can be done in your own home without hours of skilled needed.

Even though this is a simply helicopter to fly, they should not be confused with toy helicopters such as those for small children. The 3D controls on this need a bit more on the ball concentration so make sure there are no children or pets around when flying this rc model.

The apache itself has the full control set unlike some helicopters which only have a two channel selection. This one enables you to go up , down, rotate left and right as well as bank left and right so brilliant.

Stealth Rides – Small RC Cars

Filed in RC Car News Posted by admin

Mattel who I always regard as the makers of the Dinosaur from Toy Story has announced they have produced a remote control car than folds up. The world’s largest toy company has designed this rather cool car known as Stealth Rides.

Stealth Rides won’t make an appearance until the New York Toy Fair but we can see they are small in size and about the size of a USB stick so fit inside a small case which can also be used as a remote control. When the car has been folded up, all you do is remote it from its protective casing and push a button for it to unfold.
There will be five models planned of the hot wheels which include two different tanks and a variation of the batmobile. As many RC Car fans know, the limitation of remote control cars is the limited time you have to play with them before they need recharging. With the Stealth Rides, they can be played with for up to 30 minutes and that’s quite a while for such as small remote control car.

Mattel state to expect to see these cars in the shops around August 2010 for the price of around $25 in the USA

Guan Hock Lee has a remote control company which has been given a very high seal of approval for its customer service which rises above most of the competition. In Brunei, the RC Car industry has grown dramatically over the last few years with an introduction of more dealers of china made rc car models.

The even bigger mission is to compete with the growth of the remote control car market online where people can look and buy rc cars in the comfort of their ome which lowers prices of many cars due to limited amount of rental charges towards companies.

When customers satisfaction is high, your return customers can be much higher than medium levels. The shop of Guan Hock Lee started 25 years ago as a small toy shop and started by his father in the mid 80’s. They started selling Tamiya battery toy cars which then led onto the RC Car market where they stand strong to date.

If you are looking for Big RC Cars this Christmas for the children then Nitrotek have a brilliant range which should suit all ages. RC Cars do not just come as streamline remote control cars or nitro variations, they also come as large RC Models such as the RC Monster Truck.

The RC Monster Truck is well know for having huge wheels, a sufficient space from the ground which means it can tackle some of the toughest terrain as well as a chassis and suspension which prevents damage to the vehicle itself. When it comes to Big RC Cars you can find these in electric, nitro and Petrol. Size wise though, Petrol RC Cars are the largest with 15th scale models such as the Hummer Truck available from Nitroteks main online store.

When it comes to the biggest RC models, they should only be used for those who have had experience of lower spec models. This entails that enough experience has been gained in control of these high powered vehicles and presents any damage to the vehicle itself or any person from child to adult if they were to come in contact with any big remote control model.
