Sure to keep aspiring spies busy for hours, the ATV is a sturdy, plastic, remote-control vehicle that lets your child "spy" via video and audio feeds transmitted wirelessly through a headset.

What We Think

Fun factor:
Durability:
Ease of assembly:
Educational factor:
Novelty factor:

The Good: Spy headset with video monitor and earbud let kids see and hear around corners and under furniture.

The Challenging: The video can be difficult to see clearly; driving the vehicle takes some practice.

In a Nutshell: A clever, high-tech toy that kids will enjoy with its ability to let them see and hear in hidden places.

Sturdy Plastic with Streamlined Design
Made of durable plastic, the ATV is big enough to stand up to rough play, yet small enough to store away easily when playtime is over. With only three major parts -- the ATV, headset, and remote control -- it's straightforward for such a sophisticated toy. Younger children might need help adjusting the headset for optimum viewing of the video feed. Also, parents will need to use a screwdriver to install and replace the 12 "AA" batteries (not included).

Hours of spying fun
The ATV looks rugged and tough, with its heavy black tread and thin antennae. A video camera mounted to the front transmits a video feed to a monitor in the headset while a sound sensor on the top of the ATV sends audio through an earbud. Children can drive the ATV around corners and under furniture, while simultaneously seeing and hearing what the vehicle does. Its big tires lets it climb easily over obstacles -- like dirty laundry.

The video and audio worked flawlessly when we tested them, although we found the video a little hard to see. It took a little trial and error to figure out how to get the vehicle to go where we wished, but we think kids who have experience driving remote control cars will pick it up quickly. With a little practice, kids will be proficient with this entertaining toy.

4 out of 5 stars Spy gear video atv-360   August 30, 2010
Lauren Grace (Maryland)
My 9 yr old wanted this so much for Christmas. He loves it but uses it in spurts. It holds up well and is a heavy well made toy. Couldn't beat the price compared to the stores at Christmas time. Best deal was here and it came super fast (1-2 days). Overall great toy for that age boy if you get a good deal on it.


1 out of 5 stars Pretty Pricey for 3 Hours of Fun   August 28, 2010
Jackie McMurrey
This toy was awesome for about the first 3 hours. It worked perfectly! Then, the video feed went all white and remained that way so it basically became a slow, r/c vehicle, not too fun at all! I called the help line and they suggested new batteries. They also suggested getting the most expensive batteries...they would last longer. I haven't tried that yet. It runs on a BUNCH of AA batteries. I keep forgetting to get batteries, but I will try this. If it doesn't fix the problem, I will be returning this product. $99!!!! Pretty pricey for 3 hours of fun.


1 out of 5 stars At least we received a refund.   July 15, 2010

Only worked intermittently. Did not work if the transmitter was any more than 2-3 feet from the tank. Suspect a defective product and hope not a defective design. On the other hand, Amazon very quickly and efficiently processed our refund once we sent it back at their expense. In other words, very happy with Amazon and very unhappy with the product.

This is a real spy video off roading vehicle. It is remote controlled and even has an audio feed that transmits wirelessly to a headset. The video camera turns 360 degrees so you won't miss anything and all of it is viewed from a remote LCD screen. This is the perfect gift for the ultra curious tot who loves adventure. I kind of want one for myself to spy on my neighbors with! But of course, never say that to your tots =)

4 out of 5 stars Second One's a Charm   May 4, 2010
Hanktownpete (Henryville, PA)
My son saved up some gift money to buy this toy. He was very excited about it. Somehow we managed to buy two and, of course, you can't cancel an order on Amazon. If you can, someone tell me how. The first one arrived quickly. We opened it and it would not work. We bought new batteries and it still did not work. So we sent it back. The second one works and still works. It's a lot of fun for my son and his friends. This thing takes a lot of batteries, but seems to be fairly efficient so far.
