Who here has one. I just got one about an hour ago. Well anyways i went to play with it outside (we have snow) and it went in to the snow. I washed the snow off it and away from the batteries right away. So it was going fine(i was using it in my house). Well anyways i was playin with it and it hit the door by his left foot and now it doesn't have any power to it. Should i take it bock or is it fine just need to do something.

ThAmUnKy3 - I got one of those R/C Mini Xtreme Cycles for Christmas like you're talking about. If you had read the instruction manual, not only does it tell you how to do wheelies, burnouts, and other types of stunts, but it also specifically states: "Do not operate vehicle through water or snow. Electronic components can overheat or be damaged as a result of contact with water." But, since you DID play with it in the snow, the troubleshooting section in the booklet says that the vehicle will take several hours to dry. Allow to dry thoroughly overnight before trying again. OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE IN A DRY AREA. AVOID DRIVING IN WATER AND SNOW! :) :) :)

I figured it out. The water must have drained the batteries. I got some new ones and now it works fine. THANX ALL:)

Tyco RC bike? If the "RC" doesn't stand for Radio Controlled that might explain why it crashes :debil:

So you guys are saying water and E-lektrisity don't mix huh?:think Hmmmm, maybe that explains the whole toaster in the shower as a sauna problem we've had.:confused:
