Question XRC car names?

I'm trying to think of some old 90's RC cars I had when I was a kid, and either my memory or Google is being a complete jerk. I'm pretty sure I'm thinking of the old "XRC" brand, because their cars always had neat little power/gimmicks. Some of their cars were crap but I remember a few gems. Specifically..

I had a remote control motorcycle called the XRC Ricochet. It had a little weighted dude on it that went from side to side and that's how it kept its balance and turned. It also had huge wheels so it could bounce off of anything and keep going.

I'm nearly 100% certain I had another car from the same company, XRC and I swear it was called the Firestorm or the Bladestorm, and it was a car that had two back wheels that started out like cylinders about the size of empty toilet paper rolls (horizontally) and by the time the car got full speed, the wheels were completely transformed into almost propeller-like fan blades. The car was crap off road but on concrete that thing could nearly keep up with some low-end gas powered mods that my buddy had. Keep in mind this is at least 15+ years ago, so I was probably 13 or younger, so my memory is likely trashed.

For some reason I can't find footage or pictures of this elusive "Firestorm/Bladestorm" anywhere so I'm thinking maybe the name's off, but I can't find much on XRC cars either. Does anyone remember this thing?
