I am searching for them and the reviews are either 5 stars or 1 star. Each of them has a rating that says it breaks on the first flight and it also has a rating that says its really durable and its the best toy ever. What should I get?

Answer
The Air Hogs Havoc is a great beginner's helicopter and a great Christmas stuffer. It is nearly indestructable. Unless you abuse the helicopter, then it shouldnt be damaged at all. (Abuse as in drop stuff on it, shooting it) It is easy to control and easy to learn. Great for kids and adults. kids at least 8+

Is it possible to make an RC car run on magnets?

geodragon_

I know there are magnetic generators for homes and some type of engine as well...
But I was curious if it is possible for an RC car to run on magnets instead of a battery or or gasoline. I'm sure no kid/teen/adult feels like waiting for the battery to charge or buying gas for a toy, right?
Thanks if you have any ideas!

I also ask this is because it could be a great push forward from using gasoline that reeks to using a source that lasts longer and doesn't pollute.

Answer
An individual magnet does not and cannot store energy in the way energy is stored chemically in a battery or in gasoline (hydrocarbon bonds).

The closest idea to what you propose, would be to make a model of a "magnetic levitation" or mag-lev high-speed train, which is a train where the track contains a series of electromagnets, to propel the train along the track. Here's an article:

If you'd like to try making a model "maglev" train, here's an article describing how to do it:

I hope these ideas are helpful -- and keep asking good questions!
