Though released in 2010 the Hasbro Tonka Ricochet Tricksters are still a best seller in the radio and remote control vehicles category.
Before this R/C vehicle came out Tonka was most famous for steel toy trucks but today it is a brand name owned by Hasbro Toys Corporation. I think Hasbro used the popularity of the Tonka brand name and released this remote controlled vehicles, calling them Hasbro Tonka Ricochet Tricksters in 2010. These remote control Tonka vehicles became a huge hit during last years holiday season and I imagine it will again make a comeback during this year’s holiday season. The Tonka Ricochet R/C Replay Blue & Green vehicle is still the 15th most sold remote controlled vehicles in Amazon.
The Tonka Ricochet R/C Replay Blue & Green vehicle
I think the success of the Tonka Ricochet is due to its many abilities like its coolness, its speed, ability to create and remember stunts etc. When it was released it was a very new type of radio control car that actually transformed its shape. Yes they named it Tonka Ricochet Trickster for a reason. You see the Tonka as it is now and when you press a button and it transforms into a different shaped vehicle.
You can transform it back into its original shape. Plus it is two sided (sides are two colors like one side green and one side red). So this vehicle was able to flip over and run on both sides. You can see the red vehicle when it flips you can see a green vehicle. So it was like two vehicles. It was a tough radio controlled car too. It was not easily getting stuck anywhere. It was able to bounce off walls and obstacles in its path. Really it was Tonka Tough!
There is Downside when it comes to changing the battery. This toy dies seem to need quite some battery changes! Speaking of the battery, it must be completely removed from the car in order to be charged. This is not a difficult, but it does require a Philips head screw-driver. While older kids will not have an issue removing the battery younger kids may need the help of a parent!
Get it Now and enjoy days of stunt and speed!

Also, there is no auto shut off for the battery charger. So…you can potentially ruin the battery by leaving it on the charger longer than 5 hour.
