An Aero Spider is a small RC racing car that can be run on the floor, any plain wall or window, and even the ceiling. "It comes with a small remote control that doubles as a battery charger for the car. The package doesn't have much inside, only a Japanese manual stating a long list of things that you shouldn't do with it It's made pretty cheap and obviously light. The car itself looks quite good, but we were surprised to discover the wheels on this little road devil are fake. Two other wheels with rubber bands are used to propel the car."
