What Others Say
Shell Shocker
The tyco r/c shell shocker is a very big cool looking vehicle. It is very fast on carpet, it also goes in mud,mulch,grass,and it also climbes over things. It has little red eyes that light up when it is on. Shell shocker is about 50.00 and requires a 30.00 battery pack, which it tells you you need it on the box. Shell shocker is worth every penney that you spend on it. Another great r/c from tyco.
Disappointing
Extremely disappointing. Bought the toy for my son for Christmas. It didn't come with the battery ($30 extra) and the battery is still sold out everywhere, including online, almost a month later.
Don't bother. There are lots of other great RC toys out there.
Beware, do not buy this!
I should have insisted on my money back the first time! Within 10 minutes of opening our first shell shocker it jammed up and wouldn't work properly. Since I had already spent the $[...]for the battery that can only be used in this toy I decided to try another one (after a long interchange with the Tyco people and a 6 week wait). The second one finally arrived and once again, my son had it out of the box for not more than 15 minutes and it was obvious that it wasn't preforming as promised. So, if you do choose to buy - make sure you save your receipts for the toy and the battery!
6-year old bored with it after a few hours
Our son really wanted this for Christmas. But after only a few hours playing with it, he was quickly bored with it, and he hasn't played with it since.
Kind of expensive for a toy that kids get bored with a few hours later.
Battery???
I've never purchased a remote control toy that did not come with the rechargeable battery. It was very disappointing on Christmas morning to learn that we had to order the battery separately (...).
