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.

My rating of Erector Set Design Radio Controlled Off-Road Truck
Posted 1/31/2008 by Kirk Skinner
Rating: 
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.
Review of Erector Set Design Radio Controlled Off-Road Truck
Posted 10/31/2007 by Erling Hope
Rating: 
The remote-control unit would send signals to the vehicle only sporadically. A shame, as the effort to build the thing makes the disappointment acute. Also: fixed-position tires makes the thing immobile if there is any little terrain. One wheel spins dry while the others sit. (Note from Fat Brain Toys: We responded with information on contacting the manufacturer for a replacement remote... full speed excitement is on the way!)

We're building it now and we are very impressed. My son is learning a lot and is very excited to have it completed.

My son loves this truck. He's working on it right now - adding pieces from other Erector sets. He said that the Jeep was time consuming to build but reflective of the age group it was designed for (he's 13). He can't wait until the weather clears - spring in New England is always a muddy adventure. He longs to try it outside on the pavement.
