    How old are they then.. I know my sister got one of those ones that when it flips over it will go on both sides but I cant see them on line in Smyths. They were quite good the lads enjoyed them

    Make sure the controllers are not the same MHz, I remember when I was younger myself and my friend got RC cars for Christmas and couldn't drive them at the same time because of interference.

    Smyths / Harvey Norman - just what ever you do don't forget to get the batteries too :)

    Anyone, I bought a Traxxas remote control car for my son and it's a heckuva more complicated than I'd care to have. The NIMH batteries held one charge then caput. when battery is installed it lights up as if ready then punks out. I've programmed the remote but to no avail. Any place in country where I can get a replacement battery for Traxxas without paying them €110+
