The R/C Truck opening up to reveal the helicopter deck

Look what just rode into town!

Prepare to plop your eyeballs back in their sockets, sweep up the shattered remnants of your fallen jaw and wring out your soggy undies – the astonishing PicoZ Heli-Mission has just thundered into Firebox HQ. Truly awesome, this groundbreaking R/C mash up combines the thrill of helicopter flight with the excitement of driving a SWAT truck. Wow!

It might look like a stealthy brute of a vehicle – and it is – but this macho truck features a cavernous cargo bay that opens up, upon your command, to reveal a fully-functioning micro helicopter sitting on an auto-elevating launchpad. Incredible! It’s like Thunderbirds meets Airwolf with a highly Hasselhoffian touch of 80s folly thrown in for good measure.

The smart shoulder button

Smart shoulder button on the remote

Both precision-engineered machines are controlled via a single transmitter with smart shoulder buttons that allow you to switch seamlessly between truck and chopper. This means you can drive into disaster areas and release your tri-channel whirlybird without laying a finger on either vehicle. That said, you might feel compelled to stroke them in admiration, especially when the truck’s lights and sirens start up, and its cargo doors swing open. What the…?

Switch between the helicopter and truck with ease!

 

Flashing lights!

Charging the helicopter via the remote control

Charge via the remote

Once airborne you can take advantage of your ultra lightweight chopper’s auto stability system as you hover over dead Power Rangers and confuse the hell out of the cat. When you run out of juice simply recharge via the remote. The whole thing is so outlandish we wouldn’t be surprised if Devon Miles was behind it. Well okay, we would, because the PicoZ Heli Mission is brought to you by Silverlit, leading purveyors of high quality R/C gizmos.

If all this talk of high-tech trucks, auto-elevating platforms, sirens, lights and magnificent flying machines doesn’t get you humming the theme to some 80s teatime nonsense and hitting the Buy button in frenzied anticipation, we can only assume you don’t like gob-smacking playthings. So why are you on this site? Go on, clear off before we send out our Heli Mission to get you.

visitor avatar This is one aweeesome beast. Winner of last weeks gadget show top 5 r/c flying thingys. Chocks awaaaay. Cant decide if you want to play with your truck or Helicopter, fear not r/c fans Heli Mission to the rescue. Also makes for a great tormentor of young children and old people.

visitor avatar This is one of the best toys that I have, the helicopter is really, really easy to fly, (much easier than any others I have) and the truck looks really cool when the doors and lift are working. The only problem with it is that the truck doesn't turn very well, but that doesn't matter because I use the helicopter more.

visitor avatar This is a great helicopter/truck, great fun to play with! The only problem I came across was that after a few hours of play, the trucks doors and lift ceased to work :( after having a look inside at the moving parts, we saw that the motor wasnt doing anything! not sure if this is a common problem or not, but nevertheless it is a great R/C toy! the helicopter flies well, so much fun!!

visitor avatar Saw this on the Channel 5 Gadget Show and knew immediately that this was THE Christmas present for 2009. Bought for a seven year old boy, but had to check that everything was working before he takes delivery on the 25th Dec. Wow! If it wasn't already cool enough that the remote controlled truck (looks like a military transporter) moves around at your every command it has remote controlled bay doors that open to reveal a remote controlled helicopter!! The truck and helicopter are both controlled by the same hand-held remote control which is surprisingly sophisticated. Quite simply brilliant. Hours of fun and I've forced myself to put it back in the box for Christmas day. The helicopter is quite hard to fly but I'm sure the Wii generation will get to grips with it after several minutes practice. If you can still get Heli Mission for under £100 by December you will do well.
