You would be forgiven for thinking that with a name like The Panther this product is actually a super-sleuth from the olden days but you couldn’t be further from the truth. The Panther is an amazing madcap fearlessly insane remote control buggy the likes of which we rarely get to enjoy. The nimbleness is incredible and it’s a real thrill to see an RC buggy move this quickly (with a top speed of 45 kmh) and be controlled so easily. It’s great for outdoors or large indoor spaces and particularly good for those stylish rally skids and homemade assault courses. If you’ve got a big carpeted area (and the carpet fitter’s number on speed-dial) then The Panther will stick to the floor like a dream and respond to even the lightest touch. Control is super-easy as well with the trigger-style throttle and steering wheel suitable for both left and right-handed drivers. Charging the battery for a couple of hours gives you oodles of time to tool about the place making screechy tyre noises and terrifying the local garden gnomes and chances are you’ll be running the battery dry quite often. Exhilarating speed amazing handling and the opportunity to drive like a maniac without causing serious damage to yourself – what more could you want?

Steampunk
This is the rip-roaring steampunk sequel to popular “The Buntline Special”, filled with adventure, excitement, and more than a little gun-slinging action! The time is 1882. With the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral behind him, the consumptive Doc Holliday makes his way to Deadwood, Colorado, where he plans to spend the rest of his short life. But one night he gets a little too drunk and loses everything at the gaming table. He realizes that he needs to replenish his bankroll, and quick, so that he can live out his days in comfort. He considers his options and hits upon the one most likely to produce income in a hurry: he’ll use his shooting skills to turn bounty hunter. The biggest reward is for the death of the young desperado known as Billy the Kid. It’s clear from the odds the Kid has faced and beaten, that he is protected by some powerful magic. Doc enlists the aid of both magic (Geronimo) and science (Thomas Edison), and goes out after his quarry. But as he soon finds out, nothing is as easy as it looks.
