I really like the Tonka Ricochet remote control car. It is a well built speed demon that is will burn rubber on the cement, but also has the power to cruise around on grass. While it does have a couple of quirks concerning the battery it absolutely scores an A+ in terms of fun. The Tonka Ricochet is able to reach impressive speeds on wet or dry pavement with significant range (75-100 feet).
A few other notes
- The battery is packed almost dead, so if this is a present you may want to open the box and charge the battery. Otherwise, this is one Christmas present that require 4 hours before it can be played with.
- As mentioned it takes 4 hours to charge the battery.
- Speaking of the battery, it must be completely removed from the car in order to be charged. This is not a difficult, but it does require a philips head screw-driver. While older kids ay not have an issue removing the batter younger kids may need the help of a parent.
- Battery life lasts for about 15 minutes - max.
- The remote has the ability to record joy-stick commands. This will help you repeat tricks (Replay) tricks performed.
- The tires seem to slide off the rims a little too easily. This makes it more difficult to control the car.
- The tires on the car are soft un-inflated rubber. This provides for a softer landing on jumps and a bit extra cushion when it runs into things.
- The car is completely reversible (See the video) it is pretty cool how quickly it able to "know" the difference between forward and revers.
Final verdict - While the Tonka Ricochet does have a few quirks it is great fun - even my wife agrees! Easy recommendation for any child over 8 years old.
4 1/2 Stars

I'm an adult who is never going to grow up. Period. So I had a lot of fun with this thing. I raced it around my living room... it even does back flips (The husband managed that.) I also raced it around my back yard. Yes, it works in the grass too. Didn't get stuck once. My pug thoroughly enjoyed chasing and barking at it.
The lowdown: It's a decent size, has huge tires which enable it to do many things (the back flips and such), BUT accessing the battery compartment to charge or recharge or re install the battery requires you to unscrew the door every time. As I don't just leave screw drivers laying around my house, I found this to be a tiny pain in the butt.
Otherwise, I dig it. I especially appreciate that the battery in the car is rechargeable. It can also "record" your trick combinations though I didn't enable this feature. No point. I didn't do anything that fancy.
