8 Wheeled RC Car


Yesterday, I was shopping in the mall with my grandpa, my older sister, and my mom. We passed a place where they were selling remote control cars and soon after he bought me one.

Most remote control cars only actions are: Forward, turn right, turn left, backward, and turn right and left while going backward. This car can do the same things but it can do a lot of other things too. It can spin around rapidly spin on it's side, get up from it's side, and flip over onto another set of wheels... and it lights up.

The controller is complicated to use. Usually, one of the stick things goes up and down and the other goes left and right. On this one, both go up and down and each only operates one side. The two buttons at the top make the car go backwards even though you can go backwards by putting each of the stick things down. You go forward by pushing both the sticks forward and to go backward, you do the opposite. To turn, you push only one forward and to spin around, you put one forward and one backward. To flip onto another side while you're going forward, you press the two buttons on the top as you're going forward. If your going forward and you suddenly go backward, the car will keep flipping over onto another side until you run out of area or if you stop. It can get up from any side it's knocked over on and it can also spin around like a tornado on it's side. The only trick that I need to learn now, is how to put it on it's side.
