Lazer Stunt Chaser RC Cars are unique and cool dual-sided, high speed remote controlled stunt cars distributed by Thinkway Toys.

These hot wheels are controlled by a patented infrared remote control with which kids can try amazing car stunts. The variable speed remote control has seven different functions and is easy to use, but will initially require some practice in order to master control over the RC car.

In order to make this car game even more fun, you can expand your stunt zone using various stunt obstacles like jump ramps, Doom's gate ring, cyclone force, and others.

Lazer Stunt Chaser RC Car Review

I have personally tried the Lazer Stunt Chaser RC car (Flameout model) which you see featured in the pictures and video above. This cool remote-controlled car is recommended for children ages 4 and up. However, initially it will require some adult help and supervision because it does take some practice to master the remote control to effectively maneuver the Lazer Stunt Chaser.

It is advisable to have a relatively large space in order to set up your car stunt zone to make the best of this RC car toy. To start off, make sure to remove the “Try Me” tab at the side of the car and turn the switch on (channel A for the Dragonfire model and channel B for the Flameout model).

The 7-function remote control uses an infrared transmitter to control and maneuver the RC car. In order to control the car, you simply point the remote control to the floor and press the trigger making sure that the red light spot is placed in front of the RC car (about 6 to 18 inches from the car). Accordingly, move the infrared beam of light and the RC car will follow the beam.

For longer range distances (up to 40 feet), you can use the left, right and reverse buttons on the remote control. For extra speed, use the Turbo button. For detailed instructions, refer to the section, How to Use the Lazer Stunt Chaser Remote Control?

Once you have mastered the basics, you can take it to the next level and perform some cool stunts. The Lazer Stunt Chaser RC car sets (Flameout or Dragonfire models) come with a bonus stunt ramp. You can use the stunt ramp to flip the car over as well as make the car jump high to achieve cool stunts. Check the section below on Stunt Ramps for Lazer Stunt Chaser.

This remote-controlled car set is designed for indoor use only, so make sure that you don’t use it outdoors, in dirt and sand, which could damage the RC car. You can create your own obstacle courses using household objects as well as other special stunt ramps, gates, cyclone force available for purchase. With this Lazer Stunt Chaser, you can have a lot of fun racing alone or competing with other drivers. Refer to the instruction guide on how to change channels for multiple players.

Lazer Stunt Chaser: Flameout & Dragonfire

Lazer Stunt Chaser RC cars come in two different models namely: the Flameout RC car and the Dragonfire RC car, as featured below. As mentioned earlier, these remote controlled cars are dual-sided, meaning, when they flip over they change colors and design. Technically, both the toy car models are similar in terms of speed, stunt ability, and performance. The only difference are their colors, as you will notice below.

These RC racing cars come with a built-in rechargeable battery which holds the charge for approximately 20 minutes depending on use. Recharging the batteries takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to fully charge (battery charger included). The charger runs on batteries, though, and requires 6 AA alkaline batteries.

Lazer Stunt Chaser Remote Control

 

The Lazer Stunt Chaser sets (Flameout or Dragonfire models) come with an infrared remote control with which to control the dual-sided RC car. Make sure to turn on the switch on the RC car first. To guide the RC car, you need to point the remote control to the floor and pull the trigger, marked no. 5 in the above picture.

Pulling the trigger and placing the infrared light in front of the RC car activates the remote control and sets the Lazer Stunt Chaser car in motion. To turn the car to the left, guide the infrared light to the left. Similarly, move the light spot to the right to turn the RC car to the right. If the infrared light spot is placed behind the car, the car will reverse. Releasing the trigger slows down the car.

The infrared light is for controlling the car for short distances. For longer ranges, up to 40 feet away, use the left, right and reverse buttons (see figure above) to control the Lazer Stunt Chaser RC car. To avoid high-speed crashes, use the reverse button and the trigger in order to slow down the RC car. You can use the reverse, left or right control buttons if the RC car is stuck against the wall, to regain control.

The infrared remote control also has high and low transmitter settings (marked no. 4 in the above figure). Use the High setting for non-reflective floors, and the Low setting for shiny floors. The remote control requires 2 AA alkaline batteries (not included). The remote control also has a Turbo button (marked no. 6 in the above figure) which is to be used for extra power and to achieve maximum speed.

Stunt Ramps for Lazer Stunt Chaser

Included with the regular Lazer Stunt Chaser sets (Flameout or Dragonfire) is a bonus jump ramp which requires some assembly. The jump ramp has two brackets with slots, and a plastic ramp sheet with tabs. The stunt ramp can be assembled in different ways for car flips, high jumps, and bumps to add to the fun and car stunts.

Featured in the image above, you will find four jump ramp constructions which are easy to assemble. There is an instruction sheet which comes along with the Lazer Stunt Chaser RC car set which will provide more detailed instructions.

To keep the ramps sturdy, you can use wooden blocks or relatively heavy books at the side of the ramps. When performing stunts with the RC car, make use of the Turbo button to achieve maximum power through the stunt ramps. Additional ramps and accessories can be purchased separately.
