Air Hog remote control cars question....

[TimeforMe]

Does anyone have any info on these? My nephew wants one for Christmas and I see some price disparity. Are there different models? Are some better than others? If anyone knows anything about these, I'd appreciate it.

I don't have alot of info, but I will say the ones my boys are asking for are the "Air Hogs Zero Gravity" and there's a zero gravity one that glows in the dark I think. I bought one for DS on Amazon for $29.99 that doesn't glow, but I saw one in my Walmart ad today for $25. The kids think they're cool because they drive up the walls. They got pretty good reviews on Amazon.

I know you said cars, but a word of warning, steer clear of air hogs planes, they are overpriced styrofoam JUNK. I've already gotten DS's car and it looks like other R/C cars, but it is small, about the size of two Hot Wheels put together I'd say. I hope that helps.

ETA: About the models, I noticed there were some different colors and saw one that said "air force police" on it.

There's a few on Amazon in the $45-50 range. I'm just wondering if these are better or have more features. Anyone know what to look for? I'm a little confused as to the pricing.

From what I can tell, the ones on Amazon that are more expensive are sold out from Amazon and are being sold by third party sellers. Usually when that happens they take advantage of it and raise their prices. I see that the red one I paid $29.99 for is now $44.98 and sold by a place called Hutshops.

I looked at them more closesly and if you're going to buy more than one, I see that some of them are labeled channel A, B or C, when you read the description it tells you which "channel" that particular car will race against. Other than that and the glow one I don't really see any differences, I think it just matters which seller you're buying from.
