[TheEquationSlayer]

[HEYWOOD660]

@ilikeflyin and land



[615jesse]

[dudmanz222]

[liawkaiping]

inspired by the russian ZIL 2096

[DanielTejnicky]

there is old geramn tank developed for arctic conditions with the same move apparat =D

[Matuggertug]

i got it

[Pokemon7785]

You stole this.

[thejang]

@Pokemon7785 Say WHAT? 8>/ Stole what?

[MW2Producting]

@thejang Stole the video.

[thejang]

@MW2Producting Ok, I'll bite. This is fun. Who did I steal this video from? :)

[MW2Producting]

@thejang RcMania? I dunno, i just told you what he said you stole. :/

[thejang]

@MW2Producting lol

[101bluebuddy]

i bought this and i took of the bateries and put my other toys on it

[IrishSpore]

Enemy RC Car! Inbound!

[FLIPminoman]

I miss mine!!!! Now some **********bag is selling one on ebay for 100 bucks! D: I cant believe......wait...what I hate is that every one of my RC's had dissappeared because I had them when I was a little kid.

[gittygittygoo1012]

i almost killed someone for this things when i was a kid

[moko467]

if u dont live near any lakes buy a fast car but if u do u have 2 options buy a fast car and a fast boat and tht will cost u like 1k or you can buy one of these and tht will cost u like $30

[SaIadXD]

For some reason mine won't work, do you need to connect the vehicle with the controller, or is it something diffrent? If it is something with connecting, please send a tutorial or how-to please : )

[xXspartan125Xx]

its better in water because its the only thing that can!

[bojangles465]

i wanted this soooo bad whn i was about 6

[UrbanSportGuy]

I got one that didn't work for free and my Mom threw it out. I would have liked to of put some hobby R/C gear in it, like a couple waterproof Traxxas XL-5's. Probably would have worked pretty well. Maybe if I get another one, and when I get some more money (AKA: a job) I'll do it.

[patrixiomadrid]

la raja

[baconateremperor]

@ilikeflyin mins worksits beast in water

[Cilanae]

I think ether the Russians or the Germans had a tank that was made with those tracks.Very cool RC!

[TheDeadWarriors]

the song is touching

[STdemoniac]

looks like small copy of old russian 1:1 amphibious :DDD

[bykerboy223]

the are sweet to drive on any terrain imaginable, they can't get stuck. when i used to have mine, i drove it in thin ice until the ice broke through and tooled around in the water for a bit, then drove it back onto the surface of the ice, i couldn't believe it made it back up

[cheesedude24]

some one should tell tyco (and mattel in general) to stop making the alien crap they do now. this kind of but not really looks like an alien, but it is awesome. as of everything else from the late 90s and early 2000s from tyco

[cheesedude24]

does anyone know how long the battery is supposed to last after a full charge?

[cheesedude24]

@azvideoguy yeah the Archimedian screw is nice, but i don't think an eight year old would really care.

[kwkiller]

Wow, pretty cool one, wish I had picked one up but wasn't sure as to how well it would work. Tyco makes wicked retail RCs though. Got a Fast Traxx from way back, alas the tracks are shot :-(

[rckid0814]

i have one of those, theyre very fun

[UKairsoft94]

Ha ha you got pwned by the jang

[azvideoguy]

rayclauson...I guess you don't get the concept of an amphibious vehicle using an Archimedian screw, and how cool it is...and how it can teach a kid a little science, and stimulate his mind.

[lovosazul]

Pretty cool!=D

[malchurn]

Armstead Snow Motors Company 1920

[FediTheJoker]

I have one like this, but never tried it in water though. Why go by car for an hour just to try it out??

[gustapodesta]

nice

[skatesoft44]

no its better in water than on land

[GateauBoy1]

@skatesoft44

It doesn't look particularly good on either.

[gotnobrain22]

same hear

[Jeppuwz]

i have lost the manual to it :S and need to know how long the battery has to reload... plz tell  me

[PoplinZoplin]

4 hours

[BeamSpitter]

but looks cool

[Xmoto16]

Imagine this with a lithium battier ...then it would be bad ass

[uwannaplayskate]

wow

[marksman4561]

i have this !!!

[WildoTheRubberFist]

search "extreme offroad from Russia" see this design applied in scale 40 years ago...

I for one put it in the "weird and wonderful" category.

[piinus]

I was gonna say the same thing. God bless the Russians for inventing the weird moving army contraption which is now a RC toy. I've seen the video. That machine is eerie in real life if you ask me.

[FrznReaper]

Can anyone tell me what year this car was made? 200?

[galion7012]

I bought one but after less than a month the left barrel thing that it runs on broke so now it only works with the right one, the left one will turn but only when I tell it to go side to side, or backwards. It's also really slow in water and still slow on land.

[Fr0z3nFr0g]

they make it look so fast, but its not...

[thejang]

Who makes it look fast?

[Fr0z3nFr0g]

the whole body style. with a spoiler and aerodynamic haha

[baconateremperor]

@Fr0z3nFr0g it works better on softer ground

[witeboy08]

now that thing is cool

[r1o2s3i4e5]

If you like this type ZIL screw drive in the search and check out that beast

[Titanium1101]

what kind of battrie is it 9.6v?

[acornty]

7.2 volt i've got one and is awesome except for the fact that it keeps getting stuck....

[EvilMadScientist01]

i have one, got it from toys r us like 2 years ago and its called the "tyco rc terrain twister". 27 and 49 megahertz

[hustler539]

Sick looking rc, kinda like a mad scorpion lol...

BTW, anyone know the name of this beat?

[tlfove]

We call that RC TERRAIN HUNTER

[KILLRKIA]

i wanna buy one of those but i cant find it anyone no were i can get 1

[RunFaster011]

I bought mine like 3 years ago and it since has been replaced by other rc models

[2331q]

mine stoped working i dont know y but i wish i did this thigh wuz cool

[nissanR92CP]

wouldnt it be sweet if someone built a life sized version of this?

[thejang]

The Terrain Twister is actually based on real vehicles! Google "ZIL-2906" and you'll see!

[meguell3]

lol i agree on the obvious part!

[thejang]

Congratulations to you for stating the unbelievably obvious. A $80 RTR vehicle made for 8-12 year olds is slower than a $800 pro-level RC, you say? Fascinating!

[aartfranken]

pwnd ^.^

[turdrew22]

lol he doesn't reply...ha

[frog654456]

at the end i imagined it going out of range and geting stuck

i have one its the best rc ive every had

[4everremember911]

i like the end when its like riding off into the sunset like in the movies. i have one too but its red.

[hellow533]

mine i have one, went on water, loved it!

concreat, the streat, snow, ice, water, mus, sand, everything!!!!!! even quicksand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

but is it waterproof???

[halomaniacmovie]

so water proof you can drive it under water

[colt2271]

no it floats nver ever buy it though i got it one year for my b day and it was horrible it was like 4 hours charge time for 30 min or less playing time it barley even moves in sand which is really easy and cant even move in grass

[thejang]

30 minutes is actually excellent runtime for an electric RC. Really can't ask for more out of a single battery charge. That's why spare batteries are recommended.

[lankanbrawnboi]

wait but wont the treads on the wheel wear off when you go on cement?

[thejang]

Nah they're a really hard plastic and take forever to wear down even a little.

[tayyat41]

mine's side wheel is stuck and wont turn... any help?

[flamez330]

turn it with ur hand a little even if it pops then us the controller to turn it mine has dun the same thing

[jaws99099]

That is a very cool looking car, I want one! I have a pool... :D

[budsipper69]

Looks cool You know As long as it's R/c I;m happy:)

[artemusprine]

Just got my first Nikko f10 (Thunderbolt, a yellow one). Looks almost new with Armor-All on the tires but I'm still waiting on a replacement r. front arm and bumper to arrive.

[artemusprine]

I think it's funny how people act like a $750 car is somehow 10x more fun than a $75 one. C'mon people, they're both fun to drive and spending a lot of money doesn't make it less of a toy.

[thejang]

Thumbs up to that! You get it!!

[tomcatndc]

lol u guys r such rc car noobs try some of the nitro hobby cars most go around 40 mph and some of the fastest go in the low 100's

[thejang]

Thanks much for your kind advice but I've owned many dozens of hobby-level RCs of all sizes over the past 8 years including numerous one-of-a-kind projects and have a shelf of racing trophies & plaques. I've been in RC magazines and run UltimateRC [dot] com and all of the URC Network sites. Thanks again, though!

[wrecker811]

Yo I just bought one at a garage sale for 5 bucks and it works great, fast too. Best 5 dollors I spent, you all need to stop at garage sales never now what you find... lol

[usa1327]

looks like decent speed to me coming from tyco

[fixelmox]

do they exist in full scale? looks like some strange creature from outer andromeda.

[thejang]

Not one that looks exactly like this, but vehicles very similar in design have been produced in full scale, yep!

[RacerLamboMurcie18]

is it like slow or adequitley fast?

[thejang]

You tell us? The video shows it travelling at top speed..

[RacerLamboMurcie18]

doesnt look fast at all

[sheik480]

Why the special battery?

[death2cupid76]

i have one but the remote got run over :(

great toy tho :)

[GaijinNH]

Cool toy, but this is a crappy "Requiem" remix.

[AzureHoBo]

I have one, the RC can go on the water but the remote can't get wet or it shortcircuits.

[Starfleet0]

it's deffinitely more efficient in water

[atvboy11]

I used to have one but it broke some how I had good terrain where I lived I could drive in and out of my pool

[AllieElric]

i got one and it sucks where i live because the dirt where i live is very hard and not loose like the dirt in the vid

[DeltaFalkon614]

id like to get one but the issue is that where i live theres not a lot of water or dirt and im afade that get killed can? it take a beating? or will it die?

[sk0rponok]

good for a child, but for a hardcore rc fan (adult) seems a little subdued.

[aeroscope]

excellent concept, however, when manuevering on lang, it doesn't look so efficient.

[TroyAndBob]

i had one of those, but i lost the controller

[younghati]

Looks VERY slow i would not buy that.

[Anton5421]

I just said one thing  LOL!

[meatloaf427]

Now I know What i Want For Christmas Now Thanks

[thejang]

You bet! Thanks for the view & comment!

[Abaft6]

i have one of those and if you get one dont forget to buy the battery too because the battery is sold sepratly

[jurj1]

Really? What kind of battery is that that's needed? Where do they sell it?

[Stealthy48]

you need a ryco rc flex pak

[stanmod]

i had it it even floats on water

[thejang]

Yep, seen the video above? lol

[LineWar]

i've got one of those but i got 2 new engines so it moves much faster

[jurj1]

Koolio:P
