Ok, not a real truck but a toy one my father-in-law has shipped over for my 2 year old son for Xmas.

Its a PowerWheels Dodge Pickup 6V.

Arrived last night & all fine and looks v.cool, but obviously the power supply that shipped with it is USA voltage & I need to get a UK one.

the battery requires a charge of 6V DC 800ma.

Any idea where I might get one of these b4 Xmas?

Question

Does Tandy still even exist? I thought all their stores were bought out and replaced with Carphone Warehouses?

Ok, failing that, Tandys that is, try Maplin. Or you could just buy a step down transformer or use the shaver socket in the bathroom Mine has a 120v and a 230v
