Air Hogs Havoc Laser Battle set reviewed

A surprising result from this highly anticipated test:

"I love the Havoc helis, and I think the very idea of a battle set is truly awesome, but the quirks that showed up when two were flown together really let me down. Given the other feedback from regular buyers I've read on the Internet, I think the Havoc Laser Battle sets are a hit-and-miss affair, where you may be taking a gamble when you buy one. Maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't. As much as I hate to say it, I'm going to have to recommend that the buyer beware. "

Grade: C-

Havoc Heli Laser Battle set has arrived!

My laser battle set is in hand, and the helis are charging! I will try to get together with a friend and get some combat on video for you all soon!

Air Hogs Havoc Laser Battle set

It was "bad" enough (not "bad" meaning bad, but "bad" meaning good) that they came out with the Apache Havoc to rip money right out of my wallet. Now they're doing the Laser Battle set!

I've got one of these sets on the way. It oncludes two Havoc Helis with new competition bodies that look a little bit like AH-1 Cobras, each equipped with an infrared "laser" that can "shoot down" the other one! The first shot sends the enemy spiralling out of control briefly. The second in a row in a short period knocks them out of the sky completely! What a concept! It'll be like playing a video game that's actually real (though completely safe, whew). Can't wait!

Welcome to RC Havoc!

Finally it's time to go public with my second RC blog! This one will be dedicated to the senstional Air Hogs Havoc by Spin Master, its variations & spin-offs, and similar micro RC helicopters. Enjoy!
