Hot Wheels Nitro Speeders: Little RC Cars with Big Action! #Giveaway

Almost all boys -- both young and the grown-up kind -- love remote-control vehicles! But what I don’t like is how much room they take up. So, I was thrilled to hear about Hot Wheels Nitro Speeders! They’re pocket-size! The cars measure fewer than 2 inches in length and less than a half-inch wide, and they come with a mini remote control that does double duty as a charger and carrying case. Here’s a picture of one of my seven-year-olds holding his Hot Wheels Nitro Speeder Ford Mustang GT and the charger so you can see how small they are in proportion to him.

However, just because it’s small doesn’t mean this car is wimpy. Hot Wheels Nitro Speeders go from zero to a scaled 600 mph in less than a second. That will satisfy any boy’s “need for speed”! And if you’ve got a Hot Wheels track set, you can race the Hot Wheels Nitro Speeders on them, too. Another thing that makes this toy highly portable besides its small size is that it charges via the batteries in the charging unit, so you don’t have to worry about finding a place to plug in the charger. And Hot Wheels Nitro Speeders come in a Ford Mustang GT, a Chevy Camaro, and a Ken Block Ford Fiesta! I’d love to get a second one for my twin boys so they can race their cars together. In the meantime, they’ve been having a lot of fun taking turns with their Hot Wheels Nitro Speeder.

If your little guy has been begging you for a remote-control car, the Hot Wheels Nitro Speeder is a great toy to start with. It’s fun to play with and can be toted just about anywhere.
