Check out the video demo, then check out our discount prices – forget paying retail.
Note: Early on, these toys were predicted to be the top hot sellers for Christmas 2011 — toy buyers and survey kids loved them, and they were right. All the major toy sellers are rating them as a top-pick hot new toy for boys.
The Ricochet RC stunt car is made by Tonka – a company well known for making kid-tuff toys that can stand-up to the rigors of kids young and old, has another winner with this new remote control toy. Recommended for ages 8 and up, the suggested retail price is $79.99.
Tonka, (a Hasbro company), knew kids wanted more action from their RC cars and trucks, and their new Ricochet series gives it to them. Check out this video demo to see it in action.
Young RC drivers will love to show off thrir “driving” skills with this cool remote-controlled RICOCHET stunt vehicle! Use the controller to send it careening around the floor and flip it from one side (red) to the other (green). It can drive it low to the ground for speed on flat terrain, or activate its MONSTER LIFT SUSPENSION to drive the over the “rough” stuff most RC cars and trucks wouldn’t even consider. When it’s time to “hit the pits” for your remote-controlled action of the day, hook it up to the charger so your vehicle is all ready for your next “stunt driving” show!
Technically speaking, here are the details for the Tonka Ricochet RC stunt vehicle:
- Stunt vehicle is approx. 20 inches long, and package weight is approx. 6.6 pounds
- Radio controller has 3 channels and operates at 27 MHZ
- Uses 9.6 volt rechargeable battery for the car, and a 9-volt battery for the controller
- Package includes; car and 9.6 volt battery, controller, and 9-volt battery, AC 9.6 volt battery charger, and Tonka Garage Web access code.
Customer reviews highlights:
Pro’s:
- Long battery life – over an hour’s play on each battery charge
- Long-range control – controller is powerful enough to maintain control, even from long range
- 3-channel controller allows up to 3 Ricochets to play together without radio interference
- Just as rugged and capable in real life and rugged terrain as promoted to be
Con’s:
- battery cover has to be unscrewed to get to battery for recharging
—*Note: Tonka’s response was that due to the rugged nature of play and terrain anticipated for this toy, this is actually a safety feature to ensure the battery stays in the RC car – where it is supposed to be - Vehicle speed is too fast for inside play

Important Note: This toy was on the top-selling new “Toys for Boys” Christmas lists for 2010, and has roared back onto the hot toys lists for 2011 also, but, whether because of limited production or customer popularity, you will be lucky to find the RC Ricochet at or near the suggested $79.99 retail price. Most online retailers have it priced anywhere from $89.99 to $129.99.
*At the time of this writing – the lowest available price was an ebay Buy-it-Now listing for $77.77.
A note about the “New ebay” and the Christmas 2011 shopping season.
