Think back to the days of your youth.  Remember the remote controlled car that you absolutely had to have each Christmas?  Remember how excited you were when it showed up under the tree?  I do.  I remember playing with it all Christmas day, and in very special cases all day on December 26th.  Yet by the 27th, or at least by New Year’s Eve, that car was buried in the closet, never to see the light of day again.  However, next December there was always a new car that was even cooler.

If you are looking for a new toy for your children this year (or, let’s be honest, for yourself), don’t get another remote controlled car.  Learn from the lessons of the past, and try to find another form of entertainment that stays exciting longer than a plate of pancakes.  If you must stick with controlling mini forms of transportation, at least upgrade to a remote control helicopter.  This gadget is sure to remain cool longer than any car you can find.  Here’s why:

1. It flies!
2. It requires a great deal more skill to operate than a car.  This means that you will spend the first few days just mastering the controls, simultaneously challenging your brain and improving your hand/eye coordination.
3. It is remote up to 100 meters, much further than most remote cars.  Add to this the vertical capabilities, and there are infinite ways to challenge yourself or compete with your friends.

A remote controlled helicopter costs about the same amount as a car ($30-60), and is much more entertaining.  It is small and safe to use around the house, and has an impressive remote control range outdoors.  This toy is a great gift idea for your kids or for yourself, and is sure to cure your remote controlled car withdrawal blues in early January.
