With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Missed It By *That* Much
I love Tonka. Just the name beams me back to my childhood. Remember the old Tonka commercial where an elephant steps on a Tonka dump truck? (Look up: Elephant Stepped On A Tonka Toy Hasbro TV Commercial 1970's.) That's why I'm a little disappointed with the TONKA RICOCHET R/C RAMPAGE FLIP.
No, it would not survive an encounter with a pesky pachyderm, but it is very tough. I really like the physical TONKA RICOCHET R/C RAMPAGE FLIP, and everyone in the family likes chasing the pets with it. The steering is a bit awkward with a lever for the left wheels a lever for the right wheels, but everyone gets used to it quickly. Smashing it into walls and making it flip is great fun. The remote even has a button that makes the little car do it's tricks. So what's not to like?
One word: infrared (IR). Tonka made the unit controlled by an infrared signal instead of a radio signal. The difference is that infrared needs line-of-sight to work. Think about your remote. For most...

Something New to Annoy the Dog With
To begin with, be aware that this is a small indoor toy, 4-1/2" x 4" x 2", not the large outdoor toy you might, like I did, confuse it as a variation of: Tonka 2 Sided Stunt 27 MHz 3 Channels 4x4 Radio Control Vehicle - Grey/Orange Color RICOCHET R/C with Suspension Lift for High Ride Plus Remote Control, Batteries and Charger (Vehicle Dimension: 10" x 18" x 4-1/2"); in fact it is only marginally larger than the remote controller/charger. Of course this would be obvious if you bought it in in a store, but if you are ordering online, it isn't as clear.
Second, you will need 5 AA batteries, which are not included. Some reviewers have complained about this, but unless Tonka was going to spring for 5 name brand, high drain batteries, IMHO you are better off buying them yourself because the cheap, foreign made batteries you usually get with "batteries included" wouldn't last very long both powering the controller AND recharging the car. Good quality NiMH rechargeable AA's...
fun, a bit too wild to control
This crazy thing is quite impossible to control unless you are less than 10 years old. This is virtually impossible to steer in a straight line and is highly terrifying to dogs, cats and ancient grandmas. This unit is very well build and robust. It survived heart stopping falls off stairs with no issues. The kids love it, I hate it just because I spend time fishing it out from under couches and book cases. Great fun, lots of violence. A plus: the battery does last a long time...no irritating recharges!
