R/C Racing Hovercraft rides on a cushion of air created by pressurized air blowing downward into the rubber air-bag skirt, specially designed to "seal" with the ground. Two powerful aircraft-style props provide propulsion and steering. The hovercraft blasts over any level surface flat and smooth enough to "keep the air in" - smooth floor (such as marble, hardwood and tile floors, not for carpets or rugs), ice, and water. When you power up the Hovercraft you'll notice the main engine rev up, lifting the vehicle up on an air cushion created between the "skirt" of the vehicle and the ground surface, allowing it to float on an almost "frictionless" surface. With the three channel radio control you can maneuver your hovercraft with great precision. You have full control via the transmitter. This bad boy speeds across them all! The hovercraft is an all year round toy for all ages!
