Description:
Combining all the excitement of a standard radio controlled vehicle with the unique staircase acumen of a Slinky, this Tarantula goes where most other cars could never hope to go. It's equipped with large moving arms covered in rubber treads where other vehicles would place wheels and as such, the Tarantula can climb stairs or simply step over objects that get in its way. A wireless remote guides the bright red Tarantula, which operates on a frequency of 49 MHz. It's powered by one 9-volt and one 9.6-volt nickel-cadmium battery, neither of which, unfortunately, are included in the box. Once we got the hang of working the controls, we were impressed by the Tarantula's capabilities, as it was able to capably perform plenty of challenging tasks as advertised. --Charlie Williams
Tarantula isn't worth the $
After searching high and low to find this toy - #1 wish on my son's Christmas list - it was the BIGGEST disappointment ever. Three days after Christmas we were playing with it and it burnt up. Of course the box had already gone out with the trash so we had to ship it back to MGA - they said shipping would be covered and I could get a box big enough at the Fed Ex Store. Well - they paid for the shipping - but not the packaging which cost me $22 since the darn thing broke with the legs extended and it was hard to find a box big and strong enough for it. I will NEVER buy another toy from MGA entertainment again - including their BRATZ dolls
