Opinions/Advice on RC needed
« on: October 02, 2011, 20:59:17 »
Hi Everyone,

I need some help/advice on Playmobil's remote control vehicles. My son would really like a remote control type car, so I immediately thought of Playmobil. I have absolutely no experience with remote control of any kind. I looked on the PM website, and it looks to me like you can buy the control separate from the vehicle and then place it in the vehicle of your choice (as long as it is RC compatible). Does this sound correct?

Also, does the PM RC work well? Does it have good range? Are batteries constantly having to be replaced?

Last, is the best place to get the RC unit from the PM website, or are they available at some stores?

I thank you in advance for your advice!  :)

What you say is correct.

Try your local store first would be my suggestion.

I thank you in advance for your advice!  :)

Thanks, Wolf Knight and playmofire, for your help here! The RC unit looks like a good one to get. The robogang truck looks fun! Of course, I'll have to get the truck, the RC unit, and who could resist the camera! Yikes, my wallet  ;D!
