A Video Review of the Tonka Ricochet
Length:: 4:24 Mins
I really like the Tonka Ricochet remote control car. It is a well built speed demon that is will burn rubber on the cement, but also has the power to cruise around on grass. While it does have a couple of quirks concerning the battery it absolutely scores an A+ in terms of fun. The Tonka Ricochet is able to reach impressive speeds on wet or dry pavement with significant range (75-100 feet).
A few other notes
- The battery is packed almost dead, so if this is a present you may want to open the box and charge the battery. Otherwise, this is one Christmas present that require 4 hours before it can be played with.
- As mentioned it takes 4 hours to charge the battery.
- Speaking of the battery, it must be completely removed from the car in order to be charged. This is not a difficult, but it does require a philips head screw-driver. While older kids ay not have an issue removing the batter younger kids may need the help of a parent.
- Battery life lasts for about 15 minutes – max.
- The remote has the ability to record joy-stick commands. This will help you repeat tricks (Replay) tricks performed.
- The tires seem to slide off the rims a little too easily. This makes it more difficult to control the car.
- The tires on the car are soft un-inflated rubber. This provides for a softer landing on jumps and a bit extra cushion when it runs into things.
- The car is completely reversible (See the video) it is pretty cool how quickly it able to “know” the difference between forward and revers.
Final verdict – While the Tonka Ricochet does have a few quirks it is great fun – even my wife agrees! Easy recommendation for any child over 8 years old.
