This radio-controlled, zero gravity, mini racing car is introduced as “the next generation of upside down-driving vehicles” – a smaller version of those wall-climbing R/C toys you might have come across before.

Believe it or not, this sporty little racer is capable of driving across any smooth surface; horizontal, vertical or even completely upside down.

Here’s a video clip of the zero gravity micro car in action:

Zero Gravity Micro features an advanced Venturi suction system that works a bit like a vacuum cleaner. Special fans create massive down-force to keep it glued to the wall whilst flexible skirts around the chassis ensure the vacuum remains sealed.

You control the action via a stylish twin toggle infra-red transmitter and the vehicle itself is powered by a rechargeable battery. Simply charge and go.

Features:

• The Zero Gravity Micro will climb your walls and ceilings
• To show low battery, the car’s headlights will flash so remove from the wall/ceiling to avoid a plonk on the head
• The car charges directly from the IR remote control
• Fully functioning headlights and taillights
• 1:43 scale of a real sports car

The Zero Gravity Micro R/C Car is available from Firebox for £29.95 (about $55 USD).

Put on the Moon Shoes, grab yourself a pack of that yummy Astronaut Ice Cream and enjoy the anti-gravity. The strap-on sandals have adjustable bindings to fit up to a USA men’s size 9. Available in two different colors:

• Moon Shoes – Black ($28)
• Moon Shoes – Purple ($30)

Just as Sea Monkeys are not really a bunch of tiny pink people who wear crowns and hairdos and create ersatz civilizations, so too are Moon Shoes something short of a personal trampoline experience. Still, if you’re careful and have expectations that are somewhat earthbound, these springy little strap-on sandals can be an awful lot of fun. Built for people age seven and up with a maximum weight of 180 pounds, the Moon Boots have adjustable bindings to fit up to a USA men’s size 9. They are constructed of heavy duty plastic but the construction is such that the boots look likely to stay intact. As for how high they bounce, that’s going to depend on the bouncer’s size, leg strength, and bravery. And we would certainly recommend at least caution if not padding.
