hi I'm Wayne Cunningham as editor of scenic car tech I usually review full-size cars but today I'm looking at something smaller these are Hot Wheels stealth rides a new radio-controlled car from Hot Wheels these operate on a infrared controller and the unique thing about these is that they are compact and they fit in their own controller case folding up and sliding away Hot Wheels design these so boys can take them anywhere and play with them all over the place they have little buttons on the top of this case here which serve as their remote control so you merely push both buttons forward to make the car go forward or both buttons back to make the car go back push them to the side makes the car go in a circle and with this racer car one button back and one car forward the car goes in a circle similarly the treaded vehicle the tank which is another style of car this has treads and similarly both buttons forward they could go forward and both buttons back they could go back now both of these cut each of these cars can operate on one of two channels so kids can race them by having one on one channel and one on a different channel the range is about 15 feet for the remote and we've tested up to 20 feet although the control gets a little spotty at that point operating time is about 45 minutes these things operate on watch batteries basically there's three in the car two in the controller but you'll need a screwdriver to get at them right now there's two cars available the racer and the treaded vehicle and in October Hot Wheels is coming out with the Batman tumbler these cars go for about twenty-five dollars I'm Wayne Cunningham with Hot Wheels stealth rides you
