Street Troopers Mobilized Attack Vehicle PT-808


Remote Control Toys Review. Project: 66 was to be the latest in the Street Troopers™ line of urban defense - a radio control vehicle that can fire at will, either from a stationary or moving position and morph back into vehicle mode undetected. It was a highly classified project until a rogue scientist stole a Project: 66 prototype, and its blueprints from a secure paramilitary facility in an undisclosed location. The government had already begun top secret production on Project: 66 — and then quickly pushed ahead on its sister mobilized attack vehicle...the PT-808. Can you handle the Street Troopers™ revolution? We shall soon see! We at Maisto will keep you informed on any updates involving this rogue paramilitary action.
The Maisto Street Troopers PT-808 Radio Controlled Vehicle provides a twist on the remote controlled car that will thrill kids 8 years old and up. In addition to the usual driving around, the Street Troopers PT-808 can transform into a robot at the push of a button and shoot missiles at the enemy.

porty, Aggressive Looks
The Street Troopers PT-808 is an aggressive looking car with a black and red color scheme and guns on its side that is slightly reminiscent of the Batmobile. The design will appeal to young boys who will enjoy simply racing the car around. The vehicle has a nice heft to it, but because it also transforms into a robot, it has more moving parts than the average radio-controlled car. While it did not break during our testing, we found it a bit more delicate than the average remote controlled vehicle. For the added fun of being able to transform, however, we found this to be a worthwhile tradeoff.
In order to get the car moving, the PT-808 requires six AA batteries for the car and a 9V for the remote control. Please note that a Phillips screwdriver is needed to remove the battery cover.

Transform Into a Robot With a Button Push
After we installed the batteries, we instantly tried the transform function. Holding down the large, backlit button on the remote did exactly as it was supposed to, and the car transformed into a robot. Holding the button down again, the robot transformed back into a car.
