August 7, 2008 The Axon Razerback is one of those toys that makes adults wish they were children again. Billed as an anti-gravity racer, it’s essentially a remote-controlled, high-performance hovercraft that looks like an RC car. The standard $250 Razorback does a remarkable 25 mph straight out of the box, but there’s also a motor upgrade which enables it to reach 50 mph.

Like full-sized hovercraft, it’s an all-terrain toy as long as the surface is smooth relative to the size of the vehicle. Information on the Razorback is not plentiful at this stage but there’s a video available here.
