Twist, Turn, & Wiggle You Way To Endless Fun With The PlasmaCar!

October 30, 2017 By Paula 3 Comments

PlasmaCar by PlaSmart

The Original PlasmaCar Product Description

Kid-powered! No batteries, gears, or pedals…just hours of endless fun. Sit with both feet on the footrests, turn the steering wheel, and away you go. Turn and navigate in small spaces indoors. Ride outdoors on sidewalks, pathways and any other safe, smooth, flat surface. PlasmaCar supports up to 220 lbs (100 kg) so parents and grandparents can ride, too. The Original PlasmaCar – kid-powered, kid-approved, and loved by drivers of all ages.

From the Original PlasmaCar Manufacturer

It’s like magic, but you don’t need to be a magician to get it to work. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It’s so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface. The PlasmaCar is adult-friendly, too. For starters, it doesn’t require an expensive power source that needs constant replacement. No batteries, no power-cells, no liquid fuel – just the occasional cookie or two.

It’s quiet too-the only sound you’ll hear is the sound of its wheels. It provides kids with plenty of exercise, more so than most toys. And the PlasmaCar is engineered to be absolutely safe when used appropriately. It’s been extensively tested and meets or exceeds all significant international safety standards. Fully Assembled: 31″ x14″ x 16″8.15 lbs.

This PlasmaCar Reminds Me of the Good Ole’ Days!

A couple of weeks ago we received this PlasmaCar from PlaSmart. Although one of us was familiar with their products, neither of us had ever had the pleasure of experiencing any of their products in person. For our grandchildren, PlaSmart and their PlasmaCar were familiar. Which for us is great news, for them it was total excitement and anticipation of the test drive to come.  But first, a little bit of assembly had to occur. We really appreciated the simplicity PlaSmart incorporated into the design of this fun car.

After mounting the rear wheels to the body of the car, it was time to mount the most critical part, the steering wheel. For those who are not familiar with this product, the steering wheel is also the gas pedal. When you turn it side to side, it creates forward motion. To traveling backward merely spin the wheel 180 degrees and once again turn the steering wheel side to side. Remeber to tighten the steering wheel nut firmly, making sure not to over torque the nut and strip the threads. Assembly only to a few minutes including double checking that the components were secure and seated properly.

So now the long-anticipated unveiling to the grandchildren. Excitement became the dominating emotion for the PlasmaCar’s new pilots. After a bit of practice they both whipping around the blacktop like pros. Each was trying to make laps faster than the other. They had a blast, and we were all happy they both put down the smartphone and game controller and engaged in healthy outdoor fun; like we did in the good ole’ days. Children weren’t meant to stay indoors and live a sedentary life. They are supposed to, not want to come in before the street lights come on.

This little car doesn’t appear ever to lose its novelty. Since it arrived, it has not stayed parked for long. We are all pleased with this well designed and constructed product that stimulates children to get out in the fresh air and exercise. Something that our grandchildren have now embraced vigorously. Thank you PlaSmart for creating such an excellent product.

These PlasmaCars from PlaSmart come in a variety of colors. Be sure to check them out on Amazon!
You can get this product at Walmart, too!

This Little Guy Caught My Eye!

My review of this WiFi FPV Drone:

Being avid hobbyist flyers, we have a half dozen or so drones in our closet at all times. Often when a new drone arrives it is quickly claimed by my hubby or one of the many children and grandchildren that we have as theirs. This time was different as I laid claim to this one. It will be my personal drone. The one that grandma flies. Now, that I had staked my claim it was time to learn all I could about what this power-packed Thunderbolt could do and master the controls. To get started, we plugged the batteries in to charge while we read the manual…

While I read Marcus unboxed the Force1 X5UW Thunderbolt Drone that we received from USA Toyz. He had to investigate! This little beauty has a very attractive gold colored body accented by black propellers, propeller guards, and landing gear creating an aesthetically pleasing airship. The next feature that caught his eye was the sleek gold colored WiFi camera that was mounted on its underbelly. This compact unit operates in 720p HD giving a clear, vivid image when watching in real-time and on playback. This fast little drone is a lot of fun to fly and gets even faster with the ability to remove the camera.

A couple of other features we both really like are the quick clip removable propeller guards and the positioning of the drone power switch, located on the top of the drone body. So, after charging the not one, not two, but three enclosed 3.7v 500 mAh Lipo batteries it was time to frequency pair the drone and transmitter. This process was extremely easy following the simple steps I found in the user manual. For safety purposes, we decided that Marcus should be the first to pilot this drone.

Placing the drone on a level surface and powering on first the transmitter and then the drone, it was time to kiss the sky. Yes, with level surfaces few and far between around our home that’s the Helo Pad that Marcus built especially for drone takeoffs and landings that you see in the pictures. With the motors fired up, Marcus pressed the Take-Off/Landing button and up, up, and away the Thunderbolt went. We found that the altitude hold feature works great for flying and camera operation. After testing the low-speed/high-speed option, by pressing down the right stick it occurred to me, this drone is as quick as it looks! I must mention that we like the included smartphone holder as well as the grips located on the transmitter control stick ends which minimize slippage. We are really enjoying flying this well designed and constructed drone. At this point, Marcus must regretfully surrender the golden drone to its rightful owner and pilot. He is being dedroned by his girl.
