Have you Heard of the HyperRace?


Photo-A-Day #3284

I received two Air Hogs remote control toys the Hyper Actives 5 and the HyperTrax. Air Hogs is doing an online contest to find out which of the two vehicles are faster. That is why they sent them to me, so I could perform my own race. So, I took a couple of my co-workers down to a room to see which was the fastest. As I expected, the Hyper Actives 5 was faster, but the HyperTrax was not far behind at all. I took some video and we did a few races. I think we need to try again, though. So I brought in another one of my older Air Hogs HyperActive vehicles and we’ll see if that one is a contender or not.

Here’s what Air Hogs Says about each of the vehicles

Toy Review: Air Hogs Helix X4 Stunt Quadcopter

Helix X4 Quadcopter and remote

I received an Air Hogs Helix X4 Stunt Quadcopter to try out and review. Opinions expressed are 100% my own based on my experience with the toy.

I was very excited when I received this toy. I enjoy remote controlled vehicles, especially flying ones. Growing up there were no consumer level remote controlled aircraft that worked as well as the ones that are out today. I think I had an airplane on a wire that flew in a circle. I cannot imagine how blown away I would have been as a kid flying the Helix X4 Stunt Quadcopter around the neighborhood. Of course, this is an indoor toy but I did go and take it outside to fly a few times. If you have a day with no wind and plenty of open space you can enjoy this toy. However, a slight breeze is going to interfere with the operation of the toy so it is best for indoor use. Continue reading Toy Review: Air Hogs Helix X4 Stunt Quadcopter →
