Remote Control car question

I'm looking to get a remote control car to cover in fur and use to play with my cat (I'm sort of lazy). The car I have in mind is one that I saw on tv when I was a kid (probably in the 90's). It had wheels bigger than the body so if it flipped upside down it could still drive. Does anyone remember the name of this? I've tried googling it, but just come up with some car that can drive on teh ceiling.

I want this one because I have a remote control mouse, but the cat just flips it over, and then it won't work. I want something that I can still control even if the cat turns it upside down.

    There are a ton out there that can drive upside down. What you want to look for are "stunt" RC cars.

    Here is one: http://www.sharperimage.com/Electronics/RC+Flip+Over+Stunt+Car.axd

    My favourite part about that video is how he says it has a "60 foot range," and then says the remote control works up to 10 to 15 feet. So, the 60 foot range is what...?

    This maybe? Looks like it doesn't have great battery life so you might want to invest in some batteries.


    Though if your cat likes to chase things there are other options like a laser pointer or a cat fishing pole.
