The RED5 Wall Climbing Tarantula is vacuum powered, which lets it stick to the walls & even the ceiling, so it can go wherever a real spider can go. Use the infrared controller to steer it all over the walls. Or, switch it to floor mode so you can drive it along the floor without sucking dust into its motor. It requires 6 AA batteries for the controller & the spider charges directly from the controller with an included cable. Suitable for ages 8 & up.
