We’ve had some great radio controlled helicopters over the years, from the standard 2 channel ones which are great for kids to the almighty outdoor helicopters more suited for adults. We now bring you something with a bit more excitement, and that’s missile firing helicopters! Seriously there’s nothing better than lazing on your sofa and firing at targets in your very own living room.

The missile firing helicopters we have on offer are the Silverlit Heli Blaster (below) and the Gyro Stealth Attack (above), both of which are an absolute gem to fly and carry out destroy (or annoy!) missions. So what’s the difference between the two? Well the Silverlit Heli Blaster comes with six missiles where as the Gyro Stealth Attack only comes with two. As the name suggests the Stealth Attack comes with Gyro technology providing a more stable flight but that’s not to say the Silverlit Heli Blaster will simply be blown out of the skies with the lack of this technology.

The Silverlit Heli Blaster comes in three distinctive colours, each on a different channel band, so up to three can be flown at once for a massive dog fight.

All in all both of these radio controlled helicopters are a doddle to fly and will provide plenty of fun if you want to go one step further than doing crazy manoeuvres in your living room. Either would make an ideal RC helicopter for kids.

If you can cast your memory back 30 odd years you may just remember the ultra cool Big Trak electronic vehicle, if you can then we have some good news for you, Big Trak has been reborn for 2010. This retro gadget is going to be one of the best Boys Toys this Christmas so why not grab a Big Trak from our Gadget Shop now.

What is it? The BigTrak is a six wheeled vehicle that will obey all the commands you punch into its 23 button keypad. Complete with a blue photon beam you can programme it, in true 80’s style, to manoeuvre it around your living room and fire pretend lasers at targets of your choice. It’s all quite simple yet addictive as you master to drive exactly to your target using commands such as ‘forward 5 lengths’ followed by a ’90 degrees turn. Being able to store up to 16 commands in a single mission there’s plenty of fun to be had.

A serious contender amongst Big Boys Toys, whether it’s for someone who can remember it from the good old days or for a youth in today’s generation who is ready to live and learn from the cool gadgets of the 80’s. The BigTrak will make an excellent gift for all.

Charging the PicooZ Apache couldn’t be easier, just plug the wide-beam infrared transmitter into the chopper and you’re done, no mains charger needed!

With a range of up to 30 feet, you’ll no doubt have some great flying fun with the PicooZ Apache Helicopter as you go on a military mission around the house, sneaking up from behind sofa’s and onslaught anything that comes in your way.
