Review: HexBug Fire Ant

11/27/2015

The HEXBUG® Fire Ant is a high-speed robotic creature that you can control! This speedy robotic bug lights up and features six custom wheels to boost its ability to move around obstacles in its path.

To power on, simply press the button on the top of the Fire Ant and take off with the I/R remote control. Want to race your Fire Ant with a friend? Pair one Fire Ant to a Channel 1 Remote and the other Fire Ant to a Channel 2 Remote and take off racing!

“The HEXBUG fire ant jitters across the floor and spins on the spot at the users command.  Both my 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter’s favourite feature was its ability to spin in fast circles.    They enjoyed how it shivers and shakes while it moves.  It does come with some limitations though.  The HEXBUG fire ant has difficulty moving on carpet (even a tight berber) and won’t move on shag, due to the open nature of the wheels. Smooth floors, such as hardwood or tile are ideal. ~Krista”
