With a durable, hard plastic body, and fast-spinning, flexible wheels, this remote-control vehicle is built to handle multi-terrain stunts. A low-to-the-ground design and wings on top help the Stunt Psycho turn flips, spin, and keep its balance when popping wheelies. Made with a monster look, the Stunt Psycho has light-up eyes to assist you in navigating the terrain.

Turn Tricks From the Get-Go
Losing control is part of the enjoyment of the Stunt Psycho. It's easy to begin flipping the vehicle without really trying. The car sometimes gets stuck upside down and you have to turn it over by hand. Most of the time -- with enough space -- driving it in the opposite direction, and then quickly reversing it, will fix the problem.

Performing a tornado spin is a two-step process. You first need to pop a wheelie -- get the vehicle to stand on its back two wheels -- before getting the Stunt Psycho to spin. With some time and practice, anyone can become an expert at all the moves.

While this vehicle is made to handle indoor and outdoor terrains, it works best on firm, flat surfaces, like wood, carpet, and cement. The Stunt Psycho should not be driven through water, sand, or snow. The vehicle should be switched off when you're done playing, and remove the batteries from the remote when not in use.

What's in the Box
