Free Bird Q31 4CH Mini Indoor Helicopter with Gyro
Free Bird Q31 4CH Mini Indoor Helicopter with gyro review
• Speed /height
3/5
As this ‘copter is supposed to be an mainly indoor heli don’t expect to be flying around the clouds but with it’s infrared controls you can get a decent height and distance more than enough for even the biggest house, and plenty for outside fun too although be prepared to get running after it outside if you fly to far.
• Handling
4/5
Again as it’s been made and designed as an indoor ‘copter so your going to get control enough to whiz around the living room so there’s defiantly going to be enough handling for all your needs no disappointments.
- Looks
Great looking small helicopter metal frame colour coded with the rear fin plastic front cover which I believe to be customizable, very good and solid looking.
- Price
Pretty reasonable priced copter and worth the money in my opinion you gonna have a lot of fun even on them rainy days sat inside flying this little beauty around your house.
• Control Range
3/5
As this is a mainly indoor copter don’t be expecting miles and miles but it certainly has enough for the indoors and just enough for outside, very good.
• Battery Usage
5/5
The controller runs off 6 AA batteries and expect them to last, even if they are cheap and the helicopter it’s self can either be charged from any USB port using the wire provided, or from the controller which has it’s own built in wire in a nice little slot which I believe to be unique to this and means it can be charged up anywhere.
• Controller
3.5/5
Great controller bright and colourful, has everything you need in terms of controls that are very easy to manoeuvre and the nice built in charger for the helicopter makes it that bit better.
• Over view
Over all it’s a really good RC helicopter, does it’s job really well, great controls, looks good, and a decent price, I’d recommend it for the younger user, about 10 upwards but plenty of fun for everyone 4 out of 5 for me.

1:20th scale Mini RC Forklift Truck
1:20th scale Mini RC Forklift Truck
1/20 scale mini RC forklift truck which is an accurate replica of the full-size trucks, included is 4 cones, a pallet and a miniature crate to manoeuvre around so you can test your forklifting skills, or as i, and i expect most people will use it for, being lazy! whether you use it to pick up the remote from across the room and bring it to you, or allow the kids to play with it, it will be enjoyed!
• mini Forklift Speed
3/5
As you'd expect with it being a forklift truck it's not going to be zooming around, but your not going to be sat waiting for it to get anywhere, and getting bored and giving up before it does, reasonable enough really.
• mini Forklift Handling
3/5
Much like the speed you get pretty much what you'd expect, no drifting or donuts but a realistic forklift driving, and with abit of practise you'll be steering around the cones perfectly and quickly.
• mini Forklift Looks
3/5
Not going to be expecting the good looks of a ferarri or lamborgini, but it does have a pretty good detailed realistic looking forklift body right down to the steering wheel, seat and leavers inside the cab.
• mini Forklift Price
4/5
Pretty cheap little toy here, and for a scale remote control forklift it is a similar price, if not cheaper than any normal simpler toy that won't give you/your kids anywhere near as much fun and possibilities as this!
• mini Forklift Control Range
3/5

• mini Forklift Control Range
3/5
Good enough, you won't be driving it across a field, but unless your house is really huge, your gonna be able to easily get it around everywhere without any problems.
• mini Forklift Battery Usage
3/5
abit surprisingly the forklift uses 4 AAA batteries as aposed to the usual AA, and 1 9V in the controller and they will last more than long enough.
• mini Forklift Controller
3/5
Uses 1 9V battery, very small and simple controller, a simple button for each of the directions, backwards & forwards, and left & right aswell as a light switch style button on the top to raise and lower the forklift.
• mini Forklift Over view
Basically this "toy" is alot of fun whether you buy it for the kids to play their games with, or for the 'boys' to use on the desks at work, or to aid their lazyness around the house, it's cheap, works really well and can do alot for either, over all we here at R/C Topgear reckon it's actually alot better than you'd expect and give it a high 3.5 out of 5

9074 R/C remote control Helicopter
• Speed /height
3/5
Not really amazing height and speed with this, but you won't find yourself wanting for anything!
• Handling
5/5
Amazing handling, we've often found it abit difficult to get alot of helicopters to actually go backwards and forwards properly, but this little beauty does it with very little problems at all, brilliant.
Looks
4/5
Reasonable looking heli’ with a plastic moulded body, metal frame and a lot of lights around it, including a motion light on the rotor that especially in the dark/night time gives you a very exciting rave style light show as you fly.
• Price
3/5
Not really sure about the price of this as it’s an exclusive to us at the moment and isn’t yet released until sometime next month, but I’d expect it to be a pretty good amount, especially for how good the copter is!
• Control Range
4/5
We’ve had no problems with the range of this helicopter even with dwindling batteries it’s been near on perfect with the range, unless you try to fly it miles away you won’t have any problems
• Battery Usage
5/5
The controller runs off 4 AA batteries and they last as with most controllers, and the helicopter it’s self has a li-polymer battery with a plug in charger, and lasts for a good hour or so of full on use!
• Controller
4/5
Great controller with this, looks abit retro and has a lot of styling on it to look pretty technical, there’s also a left/right trim control on that allows that extra bit of control if it happens to be going off to 1 side, aswell as a power light bar at the top that lights up as you up the power.
• Over view
Over all this is an excellent RC helicopter, looks good with pretty unique fun lights on the balance rotor, amazing handling allowing near perfect flight, great controller with everything you could want, and abit more, and great range. I’d suggest it for about 13 and up and give it a rating of a high 4 out of 5.

Radio Controlled Lamborghini 1:18 Scale
1:18 Scale model Radio Control Lamborghini
• Speed
3/5
Nothing special about the speed of this car, but it’s not going to disappoint either but plenty of fun still enough speed to get some sideways action if your on the right terrain and is alot faster than most other cars in this price range, or abit dearer.
• Handling
4/5
Brilliant handling with this car much like the previous Ferrari your not going to be doing hardcore drifting or high speeds but you can handle your car more than adequately for pretty much anything you might want to do, gives more of a realistic driving experience rather than a toy one.
• Looks
4/5
Great looking car, it doesn’t have masses of detail on it but certainly looks like a very beautiful scale model of the dream super car Ferrari, fully working lights front and back, as well as a small flashing LED light inside so you know it's on and working, and a pretty nifty light show in the dark
• Price
4/5
Priced in at around 10 15pounds you really cannot complain, very cheap enjoyable, exciting and beautiful little car
• Control Range
3/5
No real complaints in this section, but nothing to write home about either, decent enough range and control as you’d expect with a car of this style of car.
• Battery Usage
3/5
Unlike the previous Ferrari this Lambo has a plug in battery pack which makes it alot easier and lasts alot longer, and run that bit smoother.
• Controller
3/5
Uses 2 AA batteries, very small compact and simple controller nothing special on it, just does what it's there for can't complain but can't say anything about it.
• Over view
This Lamborghini is a very good car basically the previous Ferrari, just a different car with a chargeable battery , decent looks, great drive, reasonably detailed and a lot of fun I would say it’s more for the younger kinds below the age of about 12/13 to enjoy fully, or for anyone who has ever dreamt of owning their very own Lambo but for the cheap price anyone else would still be able to have a lot of fun with it, all in all I’d give it a 4 out of 5.

Radio Controlled remote control 1:14 Audi TT scale model
Radio Controlled remote control 1:14 Audi TT scale model
• R/C Audi TT Speed
3/5
Reasonable enough speed with this beauty, but a car like this is more about looks, you won't be going slowly but not going to be speeding off either not really much to say goes about as fast as you'd expect, the surface your on can make quite abit of difference aswell.
• R/C Audi TT Handling
3/5
Much like the speed the handling for this is nothing amazing, yes it'll turn just as much as you want and you won't be having to go left, then back and right, then left again to get around a corner, more like a realistic car driving in miniature than a fast crazy toy.
• R/C Audi TT Looks
5/5
exceptionally beautiful car, just like the real Audi TT it has those smooth sleek lines all over the body, as you can see from our pictures, it really can look just as good if not better than the real thing!, stunning!
• R/C Audi TT Price
3/5
This car is so beautiful it's worth it for just the use as a scale model sitting on a shelf, add to the fact you can have loads of fun driving it!, well worth it.
• R/C Audi TT Control Range
3/5
No real complaints in this section, but nothing to write home about either, decent enough range and control as you’d expect with a car of this style and size.
• R/C Audi TT Battery Usage
3/5
As with all of our tests we were using the same very cheap batteries in this case 5 AA batteries in the car and 1 9V in the controller, after about 20 30 minutes time the performance and ability of the car did distinguish, but after a short rest it did work fine again for a while, overall reasonable enough use of the batteries.
• R/C Audi TT Controller
4/5
Uses 1 9V battery good forward and reverse motion through one finger, reasonable looks and a simple easy turning mechanism, styled like a car wheel with soft tire grip nicely weighted, not to sharp and not to stiff. Very nice moulded grip for ease and comfort, Overall a decent controller.
• Scale model radio controlled Audi TT Over view
Overall this Audi is a brilliant RC car, amazing looks, reasonable speed great control and a price that’s not too shabby I wouldn’t recommend it to the hardcore speed freak but superb car for the younger kids aged anything up to 13, or for someone just looking to have a lil’ play about or for something not to frightening or for those fans of the Audi or of beautiful model cars
I’d give it a high 3.5 out of 5 over all, moderate car, not the best but certainty not the worst.

1:10TH SCALE 4WD BATTERY POWERED OFF-ROAD R/C MONSTER TRUCK
1:10TH SCALE 4WD BATTERY POWERED OFF-ROAD REMOTE CONTROL MONSTER TRUCK
This off-road beast is one of the best cars we've ever seen let alone had the pleasure of driving, for a car so big it can really move infact it creates so much power that if you reverse at speed, then straight away dive forwards the car will do a wheelie, that is serious power! and alot of fun.
With this R/C monster trucks big, knobbly off-road tires you will never find yourself needing more grip, whether your on grass, concrete, mud or a rough mix of all 3 you'll have full speed, full grip and near perfect and perhaps some of the best turning/handling we've experienced, independent hydraulic operated turning and independent fully functional suspension again aids with not only a stylish strong technical look, and offers a better drive, you will simply drive over any and everything in your way!
With built in high tension bumper bars at front and rear that protect the main body and inner workings from any crashes you will have nothing to worry about with this, you can repeatedly go full speed into a solid concrete block if you would so wish to, and not find anything destroyed, shaken or even scratched!
interchangeable bodies can choose from several different styles colours and shapes, and adjustable height of the body on the chassis with simple pins, meaning that within seconds you can basically have a completely different car!
this 1:10th scale 4 wheel drive off-road monster truck, is going to cost you quite a large amount but it's well worth it, not only is it simply a great drive and alot of fun, there's endless possibilities to change, swap, improve everything on it, from new wheels, rims, suspension, batteries, engine, antenna, body, you name it you can change and improve it, imagine spending hours upon hours under a car bonnet, well this is just like that only abit smaller!
Really good control range with this R/C car, we didn't even attach the antenna onto the car but still got amazing distance using just the unravelled antenna wire! so imagine a good 30 40 feet at-least with the antenna on before you even think about losing your control.
rechargeable plug in battery that lasts for ages from our tests quite a bit longer than the normal aswell, especially as this car has alot of power thus needs alot of energy!
The controller uses a hand full of normal AA batteries and with most controllers, they don't really require too much battery power so they last and last and last and this big simple controller has the ability to change left/right trim, and reverse backwards and forwards on motion trigger and reverse left/right on twist wheel all quickly easily and straight away meaning no matter where or when your driving, you can get it perfect!
