Sure, the economy has gone down the toilet and you should probably save your money, but heck, how can you pass up on this remote control golfer. Perfect for the office where you can take a break to practice some putting when the volume of paperwork prevents you from actually heading out to the golf course.
Test your skills with the remote control golfer as you position him, choose his club (from a driver, an iron, or a putter) and swing away! Variable power swing control allows you to apply just the right amount of power to your shots whether you’re driving or putting. Address the ball after each show with your fully directional remote control which also serves as a golf bag to store your clubs when not in use.

Watch a cat madly chase the red dot emitted by a laser pen and you pretty much have the principal behind the infrared tracker remote control car. This is a clever piece of technology which simplifies the process of driving an r/c car. Point to where you want the car to travel and it will simply follow the red dot to the destination. The one limitation of the car is that it can only track the red spot up to a distance of five feet, so if you are looking to move the car great distances, slow and steady is the course for the day.

Wasps can be an annoying menace, especially at outdoor family barbecues. No matter what you try, these pesky critters refuse to give up and just keep coming back. It’s actually kind of funny in that I’ve been to a few outdoor functions where it becomes a test of wills. You’ve got the wasp on one site, who is relentless in his search for food and you’ve got the person munching away on his meal, all the time swatting at the wasp with his free hand.

How cool and scary is this. The remote control dead Fred Zombie looks pretty wild and will scare the crap out of quite a few people, especially if you have this thing moving around at dusk or early evening when visibility is a bit low. Should be perfect for Halloween which is coming up in a couple of months. The appearance of the Dead Fred Zombie will certainly scare people away, but there’s something even more scary then it’s appearance that will scare the vast majority of people away.
