Frequently Asked Questions

How does the exploding action work?

When the centipede crashes into an obstacle at speed, its body segments are designed to separate dramatically — just like a real impact. Simply snap the segments back together and you’re ready to go again. It’s built to be crashed!

Is the RC controller included?

Yes — the radio control controller is included in the box. Everything you need to start playing is included.

What surfaces does it work on?

It performs best on smooth, flat surfaces such as timber floors, tiles, and short-pile carpet. Avoid thick carpet or uneven outdoor terrain for best results.

How is this different from other Hex Bots?

Most Hex Bots move autonomously using vibration technology. The RC Exploding Centipede gives kids full directional control via a radio controller, plus the unique exploding crash gimmick — making it the most interactive and dramatic Hex Bots toy in the range.

Is this a good gift for kids who love robots and RC toys?

Absolutely. The Hex Bots RC Exploding Centipede is one of the best RC robot toys and STEM gifts for kids aged 6–10 in Australia. It’s action-packed, screen-free, and endlessly replayable — perfect for birthdays, Christmas, or any occasion for a child who loves robots, bugs, and big crash moments.

What batteries are required?

Please check the product packaging for specific battery requirements for both the centipede and the RC controller. We recommend having spare batteries on hand for extended play sessions.
