Recharge Car's Battery in 50 Seconds
Before taking the Micro for a spin, an adult should help install the controller/charger's three "AAA" batteries (not included). An included instruction manual guides you through the process of aligning the Micro to the top of the controller to recharge the car's internal battery. A green light indicates the battery is charging, and in approximately 50 seconds, the car is ready for up to 10 minutes of driving time.
Conquer Any Indoor Surface
Except for very thick shag carpeting, the Micro can drive anywhere in your home. To ensure straight driving, adjust a trim switch located on the car's hood. The controller's throttle and direction buttons control right forward, left forward, right backward, and left backward movements.
Accelerate with Turbo Boost
Need a little extra power to overcome an obstacle and win the race? Hit the "turbo" button on the controller/charger and send the Micro into overdrive.
Each of the different Terrain Titans is wired to a different frequency, allowing up to four different Micro models to race simultaneously. Test your off-road driving skills on a tough, obstacle-strewn floor, against family and friends.
The Micro may accumulate dust or lose its front wheels in a driving accident. Refer to instruction manual for the process of removing/replacing both the front and rear wheels. Adults may want to assist when cleaning the car or snapping the wheels back into place.

"Gadget guy" (Sunny CA United States) - See all my reviews = Durability: This review is from: Spinmaster Micro RC Terrain Titans Hot Shot Red (Toy) Hi all you R/C'ers. OK, I have tons of R/C cars ranging from these sub $20 cars to $500 Xrays. I guess you can call me an R/C nut. Anyway, when my son received one of these for his birthday present, I thought this is pretty cool. It has suspension (although pretty simple) and even a turbo boost button. When I first tried to charge it, it didn't seem to work. Disappointed, I went to the store (amazon didn't have any yet) and purchased another to try it out. That one worked fine, and I tried to deduce if the original car or charger was bad by swapping each. It turns out I wasn't charging it right (user error), but after I figured that out, all was good. So we have two of these, and one of those cars that can run up walls. We also have hardwood floors, which is perfect for these little cars. We often play "tag" with the cars and they run perfect on the flat surface. Charge time is about 90 sec (you have to press the turbo button while charging) and runtime is about 8-10 min...Read more 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By = Durability: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Spinmaster Micro RC Terrain Titans Hot Shot Red (Toy) I bought 5 of these at Target before Christmas as an almost afterthought stocking stuffer. Our 3 kids and my wife and I love them. We haven't tried driving them over stuff because A) they're really small, and B) they're a ton of fun just driving around the living room on the hardwood floors. They charge up in about a minute and drive for 5+ minutes at a time. We had all 4 going at the same time playing car tag, racing, etc. I'm actually on here shopping for more as replacements for when ours break. They're really durable and you can take everything important off of them in seconds for cleaning. Couple of notes: first, batteries go into the charger differently than you usually see--the positive and negatives all point the same direction, where most other toys alternate. Easy to figure out but now what we were used to. Putting them on the charger takes a few minutes to figure out. Some of ours have an arrow on the car and on the charger that you...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By = Durability: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Spinmaster Micro RC Terrain Titans Hot Shot Red (Toy) I want to begin this review by saying that I was skeptical to buy them based on the wide variety of reviews. I am pleased to say that Santa brought them very early this morning and they have been played with by everyone in the house for the last 10 hours. What a blast! No, they are not meant for a three year old. The youngest owner in my house is 10 and the oldest is ohhhhhhhh..grandpa! Amazing little fun pocket stocking stuffer at a great price! $7.99 was indeed a deal and we are racing them around the kitchen. Okay, it was a little bit of a problem when I saw it zooming toward me across the table during Christmas dinner! :-) Fun and durable when taken care of. No, I don't see it climbing over things, but we haven't really gone that route yet. Right now, we are still just racing them and having a good time! For the price, it's worth the price if they last through the evening. Before you buy anything, keep in mind the "child" you are buying them for and if they...Read more |
