Sep 9 2008Whee!: Toy Car Runs On Walls, Ceilings

airhog-1.jpg

The Air Hog Zero Gravity R/C isn't zero gravity or radio controlled. But it does stick to walls thanks to the vacuum it creates via a little fan in the roof. The 5" car gets about 10 minutes of play time on a 30 minute charge, and is controlled via infrared controller. It'll set you back about $50, but really, what's the purpose? If you have walls -- guess what -- you've probably got a floor too!

Hit the jump for another picture and a video of the fun to be had.

first, holy crap

first!

ok, now that I've finally got a firsty, I feel like I've accomplished something. That would be fun, run over the flies on the walls.

dag, so close

i drive up walls and on ceilings all the time, with nothing more than a bucket of jungle-juice, a thimbleful of LSD, and a BigWheel.

Yeesh, you two, let's hear something relevant, shall we?

....I want this car. I want it sooooo bad. So bad it hurts. Hurts so bad, it's good.

Now then, attach a few rather small, yet still somehow powerful (I suggest uranium usage is in order!) missles to this thing, a camera so you can operate this thing remotely to avoid the blast, and an awesome looking paint job of a skull and crossbones and we officially have the most bad*** invention in history.

Until these additions are made, I find this thing useless! Although....I'm sure "Herbert the Pervert" could find use of this for his "boy-scapades." Hmm.. Look for this new RC car in the next season of Family Guy! Quick! Someone play the theme song!

Masochism is fun isn't it, Amy.

I must ask though, what exactly is the point of this wall/ceiling riding car? Are floors too boring? Is having your little toy car dodge in and out of traffic outside not thrilling enough? Has tripping old women causing them to drop their bags of cat food become too inane?

What is the world coming to?

i graduated as a toy designer major so i love this kinda stuff!! they gotta build some kinda badass track for this thing.

or else i will.

Here's an idea that will bring hours of plain ol' rootin tootin fun:

Put one of these cars in a preschool room just before the kids get there. Then go into the next room and stand behind the two way mirror (shut your pie hole!). Sooner or later the selfish bully kid will get his hands on it and delight in keeping the other kids from playing with it. Wait until the moment he sets it down and then drive it up the wall. Then spend an hour keeping it just out of his reach. Not only will you be rolling in laughter but the other kids who were crying before will get a kick out of the bully getting a taste of his own medicine.

Warning: Make sure the teacher is in on it by having sexual intercourse with her.

Thats awesome, why havent they done this with real cars yet?

@6 Amy ... I want one too, Even if it is pointless. Oh, and, nice pic, you're a sexy one...

Fake - This is completely a photoshop job. The shadows are all wrong.

It looks like they cut these pix right out of frame caps from Never Back Down.

@12 I agree with that, nice pic.

Fifteenth!!!!!

The toy looks ok, but 10 min of play at a time w/ 30 min charge time? that makes this more sucky than the multiple "Never Back Down" references in the last 7 days...

16's comments are fake. Do not let this harlot fool you. All her comments were taken directly from scene 17 in Never Back Down.

@ 17... "The only time you're happy is when you're hurting people. "

@18

That is totally untrue. Now f*** off, your mother didn't want you.

See what I did there? ^_^

@ Icon

But my mother wanted you and you broke her heart. Now we both have been hurt by you.

See how that came back around?

Don't talk about your mother like that, she's a nice lady.

The both of you need to just calm down. Calm down, but never back down!

@22 sit on it

i bloody love toy cars. i think i've creamed my pants.

Crazy cool, my son would LOVE that.

I saw this thing at Target...and under it an Air Hogs helicopter, THE GREATEST TOY I HAVE EVER OWNED. Instead of buying a sack, buy a helicopter and torture your pets.

Awesome, now I can hit granny form every angle!

@24

Your attempt to impersonate me failed, horribly. Not only did you fail to use any sort of capitalization (because I do), but you didn't link my website to my "nick name".

Do not pass go, do not collect $200. You fail at life.

So, what happens if its batteries die while it's on the ceiling? I must know.

@28
dude thats harsh

@23.. ill sit on your face with my sweaty gooch. Thats what you meant by 'sit on it' right? Well im doing it anyways. asshole.

@jerome

That's how I roll.

@icon
lol i geussed that much

I'm a big gay.

This car is so cool! I want one so bad. Thanks for the post, I used it on the show today:

Am I the only one who had something like this years ago? Mine came with a little ramp that created a curved surface to allow the car to move from floor to wall... Old news...

Here's the thing. I'm sure that you need to constantly be driving in order for this thing to stay on the wall. What happens if you just, STOP. Oh the fun.......drive it up the wall, then on the ceiling, right over someone's head, then simply release the stick. Forget tripping people, concussions are much funner.

I have one of these, they cant go from floor to wall with out a little ramp and they fall off the ceiling alot, but they dont break, very dfurable :P.
