To drive or not to drive - Playmobil RC...
« on: September 01, 2011, 21:53:09 »
My friend is into Hobby-Grade RC cars, namely Traxxas. Many of my Playmobil sets that I've bought have included an RC option - is it worth it? I don't actually have the RC remotes...

I would say it's nice if you have kids and will let them play with the RCed vehicles.
If not, I fear the coolness factor will wear off quickly ::).
Cheers!

I have an RC firetruck and it was so coll at first... but other projects have takes priority, and the fire truck was jus sitting there... then one day I thought I have to take to batteries out... dont want those fluids to destroy the toy... so no its just sits there... But I do have the urge from time to time to take her out for a spin  :P

I once run down some marble stairs by m istake, at high speed so it landed quite a few stairs below a pricey RC car and it broke into pieces . I advice extreme caution with such vehicles ...  :sherlock:

Chris and I used to go out and race RC cars around in the "parking lot" behind our house, and spend hours at it. Haven't done it in a while since it's been so hot, but I would like to get some rc modules and have RC playmobil cars. Best of both worlds!

 :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

you have done what i was hoping to avoid , after my playmo train frenzy which has calmed for the past 48hrs , i will most certainly follow up on your suggestion and tomorrow at the playmo fun park before we set the wetsern theme i will most certainly be getting a RC controlled playmo vehicle !!!!!  :love: :love: :love: :love:

Is there a list of all of them somewhere? Cause that would be really cool :) and probably force me to get the RC unit as well...
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

I seem to remember something like that here from a couple of months ago.... later today I'll try and see if I can find it. I don't have time now.
