My brother got a hornet for his birthday, and I wanted to join and race him, and bought the sand viper. Easier to put together than an airfix kit, this thing is sleek, fast, easy to control and a Joy to play with. I upgraded to the acoms racing pack and would recommend it. Charges in half an hour (and from the car too!) and you get around half an hour solid playtime out of one battery. I have a lot of RC stuff - tank, speedboat, cars, helicopter, and this beats them all hands down for pure fun factor.

My boy and I really love the cars. Was very impressed with the postal service, couldn't belive that the delivery company actually gave me an hours window that would turn up within, and it was correct.

I bought this after discovering my old Tamiya Falcon in the loft. Wanted to return to my childhood but with a more modern car. Really pleased with the Sand Viper as it was easy to build and ideally suited to someone returning to RC cars after 25 years. The car was delivered quickly and well packaged, after a lot of research on the net Wonderland Models were the cheapest by some way. Really pleased with the service a would definitely recommend.
