Now here is something that every RC enthusiast may want to have. The Axon Razorback Anti-Gravity Hovercraft Racer will blow your friends away with envy when the vehicle suddenly starts to float around in any direction you want. Designed for speed, this bad boy will reach 25mph right out of the box. Not good enough? With a motor upgrade, you can double your pleasure to 50mph. They’ve included a 3 channel 2.4ghz surface radio, rechargeable 3 cell Lipo battery pack and claim to have used top shelf parts. The hovercraft racer also comes fully assembled and will run best on pavement, level sand, indoor tracks and just about any smooth surface. The video below gives it more justice that I can:

Here is a fun way for the kids to wake up.  When the Rocket Alarm Clock sounds a countdown starts and if not switched off in time, the rocket will fire into the air.  I guess the goal is to get the kids out of bed to prevent the rocket from launching, but we all know what will really happen.  They will wake and watch, but not fall back to sleep…  because the only way to turn it off is to retrieve and replace the rocket on its base.

Ahh yes…  Those childhood summer memories.  Sitting on the boardwalk, eating a chocolate cone that was as big as my arm.  By the time I was finished my white T-Shirt would look like a tie dye.  Why, you ask?  To busy focusing on one side I guess.  The Motorized Ice Cream Cone helps this issue, while adding a fun spin (like the pun) to the activity.  Just load the removable tray with the ice cream, place the tray into the battery powered cone and push the button.  Easy to use and easy to clean.
