GadgetMadness: We find the coolest gadgets first

Sometimes words just can't do justice to demonstrate how much fun a toy is. Such is the case with Johnny Lightning's Battle Wheels remote control battle robots. These remote control robots operate under a very simple premise: beat the snot out of each other, and knock your opponents head off to win! If you can't wait to know what we thought about these awesome robots of RC destruction, our list of pro's and con's is after the jump.
