As for the tornado the front axle use to rotate 360° but it couldn't steer for shite! Proper O.G rcs 🤙

Hey dude! Thanks for watching, much appreciated. It's crazy how batteries have moved on. I remember having an old Tamiya RC car that had similar issues, had to charge overnight to get 5 mins and the batteries were £50! It's insane that you can now charge a whole real car overnight and get 300 miles!
That Tyco hovercraft was so cool though. Well, the ad made it look cool anyway! th-cam.com/video/hJOhfC7rz7U/w-d-xo.html
