- After seeing comments about TYCO, though you all might
- wat a review on another TYCO product.
-
- I recently purchased a TYCO Radio Controlled Car for my
- child for Christmas. Just to let the rest of you know that
- the "Half Track" version should not be purchased. The
- design of the front end allows the suspension springs to be
- ground off when running over rough concrete. My son ran
- his one day and lost of of the springs and there was
- substantial wear on the posts for the other. He was very
- carefull and ran it in the driveway only. The pictures on
- the box indicate its ability to "climb" rocks etc. I took
- it back to Toy "R" Us and exchanged it for the full track
- model which doesn't have this flaw (it was $20 more). But
- to avoid the hassle, don't purchase it.
