Volvo XC90 electric ride-on car by Volvo

12/12/2016

0 Comments

 
Not yet sure how to transmit your car virus to your youngsters? Well this new release by Volvo might do the trick. Your kidz can drive in a cool miniature of a classy modern ride. Volvo makes it possible and allows you to buy your kidz a replica of Volvo's actual luxurious and top of the line ride.
This electric ride-on version of Volvo's new XC90 model is either available in black or white. The interior consists of a nice tan colored  ensemble. Even the modern and minimalist dashboard has been faithfully reproduced including wood veneer. And the best of all is the price tag ... it is way more affordable as the real thing. But yeah indeed I have to admit that €555.40 incl tax is not a really a bargain.
You can get your mini XC90 in either black or white:
  • black | item # 2310103-100-000 | original Volvo item # 30673733
  • white | item # 2310104-200-000 | original Volvo item # 30673734
You can order your ride either at Volvo's official merchandising web-store @ collection.volvocars.com or @ most Volvo dealerships.
Quote from Volvo's web-shop:
This finely detailed kids Electric XC90 Ride On Car is full of features and detailing that you would expect from a full-size Volvo. Its seats are upholstered in leather, it has doors that fully open and an audio system with Bluetooth and a radio to allow your junior driver to play their favourite music. 
With a real key to start it, a multi-function steering wheel and working lights, your child will feel like driving a real car.  The junior driver operates the car with an accelerator pedal or grown-ups can control it with the Bluetooth remote control. Five-point safety belts keep the occupants safe and real shock absorbers keep them comfortable. Large Inscription rims come on EVA tyres that never need air and will not puncture.
Two electric motors and a 10ah battery give the Electric Rider plenty of power and long battery life. 
129cm x 75cm x 60cm. Weight 22kg. Top speed 6 km/h. Suitable for children aged 3-8 years. Available in black or white.

Polestar has announced yesterday the official release of the Volvo S60 'STCC' as R/C model in two different scales. I have presented the 1:14 version last month here on minivolvo. The second and larger 1:10 version is now also available in Polestar's official webshop. An R/C model in 1:10 scale is without a doubt a big model. The larger version is intended for outdoor use and the smaller 1:14 version for indoor use.

You can get yourself a model for €277,05 under item number 7600040-500-000. This is of course everything but a bargain. But don't forget that this one is a huge model and it comes with many great features:
  • radio-controlled replica

  • powerful electric motor with permanent four-wheel drive
  • independent suspension featuring oil-filled dampers all round to provide superb handling
  • with tough gear differentials on both axles

Volvo 245 body shell for R/C cars by Kamtec

9/22/2011

2 Comments

 
Kamtec offers a nice Volvo 245 body shell for R/C cars.
Since this one is intended for banger racing ( stock car racing ), the model is not a perfect reproduction of the real car. But that is certainly not the goal if you eventually intend to crash your toy.

Quote from the Kamtec website :
Volvo 245 Estate ABS bodyshell for Banger Racing! Had to be done!! This model has been crafted by Graham ( Wolfie ) Coles of the High Wycombe club. Made by Kamtec under licence from Wolfie who can to supply direct at club meetings . Went very well on its debut at the WRCC Estate meeting. Folded up just like the real ones! Now comes with a roof fin.
Price per Unit (piece) : £6.99   ( 8.00€ )

Kamtec offers nearly 100 different models of body shells for banger racing.

Update : I forgot to mention that the scale of the body is 1:12.
