Overview of the Radio-Controlled Car Hiper Tornado With Transformation Mode and Smoke Simulation

Review of an unusu­al radio-con­trolled HIPER TORNADO shifter: with smoke gen­er­a­tion and trans­for­ma­tion mode. Four-wheel dri­ve based on roller wheels pro­vides decent flota­tion on the sur­face: you can move the machine side­ways or diag­o­nal­ly, move small obsta­cles. Sound and light effects will make the game more inter­est­ing and bring joy to chil­dren. In addi­tion to the remote con­trol, there is a spe­cial bracelet with a gyro­scope for ges­ture con­trol.

Trans­form­ing cars on roller wheels are a mod­ern and fash­ion­able trend for radio-con­trolled toys. The HIPER TORNADO mod­el stands out not only with 4x4 all-wheel dri­ve, but also with bright light­ing effects with sound (music, engine sim­u­la­tion, etc.). There are also a few “chips” — a steam gen­er­a­tor for sim­u­lat­ing smoke, as well as a bracelet for con­trol­ling ges­tures.

Characteristics:

• Brand: HIPER
• Mod­el: TORNADO
• Type: machine-revers­er with remote con­trol
• Scale: 1:12
• Pow­er sup­ply: bat­tery 1200 mAh 7.4V
• Work­ing time: 15–25 min­utes (depend­ing on inten­si­ty)
• Weight: ~1.3 kg

Comes in a large box with bright print­ing — this option would be appro­pri­ate as a gift for both boys and girls.

The machine comes with a bat­tery, a bat­tery charg­er, a small screw­driv­er to access the bat­tery com­part­ment, a remote con­trol, a wrist­band for con­trol, a charg­er for the wrist­band, and a device for refill­ing liq­uid into the smoke sim­u­la­tor.

It makes sense to study the instruc­tion man­u­al, espe­cial­ly in terms of fea­tures for sim­u­lat­ing smoke and con­trol­ling with a bracelet.

It is con­ve­nient that you do not need to pur­chase sep­a­rate charg­ers or pow­er sup­plies. HIPER TORNADO comes with a 1200 mAh bat­tery (7.4V, two cells) and a USB charg­er for it.

The bat­tery is locat­ed in the bat­tery com­part­ment on the bot­tom of the machine body. To access, you will need a screw­driv­er (from the kit or sim­i­lar). There is enough space in the com­part­ment to accom­mo­date the bat­tery itself and the wire to it.

The machine comes with a spe­cial remote con­trol bracelet for con­trol using ges­tures. Pow­ered by a built-in bat­tery, and to recharge the bracelet, there is anoth­er USB charg­er includ­ed, this time with a thin plug.

The bracelet is wide, with many holes and a triple clasp. Suit­able for chil­dren’s hands, fas­tened com­fort­ably, sits well. When acti­vat­ed, keep it lev­el and hor­i­zon­tal.

There are two but­tons on the remote con­trol — on / off and con­trol of func­tion­al modes. Three LEDs serve as indi­ca­tion. By rotat­ing, tilt­ing and turn­ing the arm with the bracelet, you can direct the machine left-right, for­ward-back­ward and diag­o­nal­ly.

The remote con­trol with a radio chan­nel (2.4GHz) has two “sticks” for for­ward-back­ward move­ment (left) and left-right rota­tion (right).

Addi­tion­al­ly, on the end there are two shifts with the func­tions of mov­ing side­ways. Func­tion but­tons are locat­ed in the cen­ter: trans­for­ma­tion mode, demo mode with a demon­stra­tion of capa­bil­i­ties and steam gen­er­a­tion mode.

To change the bat­ter­ies in the remote con­trol, you will also need to use a screw­driv­er. The remote con­trol works from a pair of “fin­ger” ele­ments (2xAA).

The HIPER TORNADO car is equipped with a trans­for­ma­tion func­tion, when, on com­mand from the remote con­trol or a bracelet, the front and rear axles are low­ered in the “P” shape, pro­vid­ing addi­tion­al ground clear­ance.

A fea­ture of the HIPER TORNADO machine is Mecanum omni­di­rec­tion­al roller wheels, which not only pro­vide decent cross-coun­try abil­i­ty, but also pro­vide diag­o­nal move­ment and even side­ways move­ment.

The HIPER car can rotate 360°, over­come small obsta­cles and climb bumps, bumps and oth­er obsta­cles. Pay atten­tion to the work of the front and rear axle sus­pen­sion.

To gen­er­ate steam, there is a spe­cial tank into which ordi­nary water must be poured. A con­ven­tion­al ultra­son­ic evap­o­ra­tor is installed inside, as well as back­light LEDs.

The effect is quite strong, espe­cial­ly impres­sive in the dark. The steam from the gen­er­a­tor is high­light­ed in col­or, giv­ing the impres­sion of not even an exhaust, but a jet stream.

As I said above, the HIPER car is equipped with var­i­ous sound and light effects. In demo mode, music and the sounds of a run­ning motor are played. Bright illu­mi­na­tion is locat­ed under the body pan­els and in the trans­par­ent wheel rims.

I note the decent qual­i­ty of plas­tic, good assem­bly — the machine has a cer­tain resis­tance to scratch­es and chips. But play­ing in the rain and dri­ving through pud­dles is not worth it — the main com­part­ment is not pro­tect­ed from water

A demon­stra­tion of the capa­bil­i­ties, as well as an exam­ple of ges­ture con­trol, can be seen in the video.

The machine is real­ly inter­est­ing, the illu­mi­na­tion is espe­cial­ly spec­tac­u­lar at dusk. I’m sure you appre­ci­ate it.

Thus, the HIPER TORNADO 4x4 flip car is a very unusu­al and inter­est­ing gift for a child. The machine is quite tena­cious, with a trans­for­ma­tion, it moves equal­ly well both on asphalt and on a lawn with obsta­cles. Imi­ta­tion of smoke using a steam gen­er­a­tor, as well as sound and light effects will bring a whole range of new expe­ri­ences to the game. The high­light of the mod­el can be con­sid­ered a spe­cial bracelet with a gyro­scope for ges­ture con­trol.
