The HEXBUG® Spider XL is an electro mechanical marvel to watch and operate. The HEXBUG Spider XL is 65 percent larger than the Original HEXBUG Spider, and features 360 degree steering, an LED forward eye, and two-channel, user selectable radio-controlled remote control. The two-channel remote control operates in three speeds (slow, medium and fast) when moving forward, and one speed when in reverse, enabling the user to operate multiple bugs independently or at the same time and at varying speeds. Three AA batteries are required in each HEXBUG Spider XL and one 9V battery is required in each remote.
