Air Hogs Tiny RC Car Lets You Drive Across Ceilings

By Jen Dunnaway

If there’s one thing that’s lacking in conventional RC cars, it’s their inability to defy gravity. Why shouldn’t your cars be able to run up walls and across ceilings? Air Hogs must’ve been thinking the same thing, because they’ve developed an RC that uses a tiny fan to generate sufficient vacuum to let the light-bodied vehicle stick to unlikely surfaces. They’re available on Amazon for 40-bucks-and-change, though anyone who’d plunk down this kind of coin for something that should come free in a cereal box (remember those baking-soda-powered submarines?) should probably have their head examined. I mean, the final outcome of such purchase is pretty obvious: it only sort of works, and the first time it falls off the ceiling, it breaks. And that’s the end of your new toy. Via Jalopnik.

I’d rather do it with my car!
