Rover Land & Sea Amphibious RC Car
An Rover Land & Sea App-Controlled Amphibious Vehicle is a sneaky gift for a kid. Sneaky in that the kid will love being able to use the new toy as easily in a lake or swimming pool as in the living room or backyard, and you'll love...being able to use the new toy as easily in a lake or swimming pool as in the living room or backyard after your kid goes to sleep.
The indoor / outdoor RC Rover follows orders given through a free iOS or Android Rover app. In addition to basic navigation - which you can accomplish with on-screen controls, or by using your device like a steering wheel - the app gives drivers access to the vehicle's headlights and underwater LEDs, onboard camera, and two-way audio.
Capture video of the Rover's travels and missions with the 90-degree rotational camera, and view it in real-time, or share it instantly online. Use the built-in speaker to listen in, or talk to anyone in the Rover's path. The multi-talented amphibian even has route memory capabilities, so it can repeated saved journeys without controller input at all.
When the Rover moves from solid ground to water, fins on its wheels take over for propulsion. Wireless range for app control is 150 feet.

TV-B-Gone Kit
Let's be clear: it would be a supreme a-hole move for someone to use a homemade TV-B-Gone to shut off the women's beach volleyball game I am watching at a bar. Obnoxious and unacceptable. However...were I to use my DIY...

RC Airsoft Battle Tanks
Radio-controlled tanks that fire actual BBs? Glass sliding doors beware. These RC tanks, which I don't even know how they're allowed really in this day and age but I'm glad they are, are modeled after some of the most...

The Best RC Toys for Adults
The best RC toys for adults span well beyond remote control cars and drones. In the case of the giant RC Bald Eagle, a full 9-1/2-foot wingspan beyond remote control cars and drones. And, honestly, I'm kind of over drones...
Polaris Sportsman WV850 - Airless Tire ATV
We previously saw the RZR XP 1000, another feral vehicular pursuit by Polaris. It's more of a brutish, free-wheelin' dozer used for good times barreling along the off-roads and across jagged terrain--an ATV stallion...

Smartphone-connected watches, smartphone-connected wristbands, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with a smartphone-connected ring. Particularly with the great fanfare surroundi

Patriot Campers LC79 Super Tourer
The Patriot Campers LC79 is perfect for Christmas Eve when my girlfriend starts freaking out that she forgot the fresh thyme for her stuffing - "and it has to have fresh thyme! It has to!" - and asks me to run out to...
Quadski - Amphibious ATV
A one-person all-terrain vehicle that doubles as a personal watercraft. I don't like these studious, clinical terms for the Quadski, which is better described as a fat amphibious wad of adrenaline with a BMW engine. Gibbs'...
Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane
We've seen electric paper airplanes. And we've seen flights of fancy controlled by smartphones. But never before in the history of mankind's existence on the universe have we seen an electric paper airp

Part all-terrain, part arachnid, all electric. The Swincar is a French off-road vehicle with a new take on the idea of a fully independent suspension system. Each wheel is powered by its own motor and designed to flex...
Polaris RZR XP 1000
Even though the Polaris RZR XP 1000 is obviously a gnarly off-road beast, the first words that come to mind when I look at it are "dune buggy." What a sissy name for any legitimate form of motorized entertainment. A dune...
