Jaycar RC Hovercraft with Fly Sky FS GT2 Radio

Better known for their collection of random electronics, retailer JayCar Electronics are also a good source for crazy and cool toys. This RC hovercraft use to retail for $150.00 and has a thick and strong dual sandwich foam base with a large round hole in the middle. Sitting atop that foam are some simple electronics and remote control servos which power two high speed fans,  one pointing down through the hole in the base to give lift, and the other pointing out the back which swivels on a point to give you directional control.

The radio is the classic FlySky FS GT2 2 channel Radio that can be used for RC cars as well as a myriad of other projects. Receivers are very cheap to buy and therefore makes this radio quite popular

With a large open space with a hard surface, this is a uniquely awesome remote control experience. It takes no more than a minute to get the hang of the controls, and while a flat hard surface is a must, the hovercraft certainly handles the bumps and cracks of an aged concrete surface with ease.
