Hey guys, got a line of these cars if anyone is interested. $25 each, 5 for $100.

These are 1/8th scale, full controls, pistol grip style. Comes with everything you need, just charge the nicd battery and go. I will also include the 9V battery for the transmitter!



These measure Approx. 21.5in by 9in by 5in, so they are BIG. They come in 5 frequencies, but I cannot garauntee that multiples will come with all different ones (but 99 times out of a 100 I will make sure they do) If you can find them cheaper ANYWHERE, I will pricematch. Cheapest I can find on the web is about $32 shipped.

If you want one, let me know ASAP. I would actually prefer you pay via paypal and then pickup at your leisure so I don't have to worry about deadbeats. My paypal is tyler@snotmonkey.com.

Post here with any questions, feel free to PM/IM me as well.

"100-180-foot transmitter range "

hope you plan on running along with these

8/18/2006 3:07:28 PM

60 yards is pretty normal for R/C Cars, until you get up into a several hundred dollar reciever.

And where are you going to run it that you can actually SEE a car enough at 60yards to steer it?

8/23/2006 9:37:57 AM

I missed this thread originally.. too late to get one?

8/23/2006 9:41:10 AM

shouldnt be, I went ahead and bit the bullet on a shitload of them. So I HOPE there will be enough to go around. Everything will be here friday, so people can pick up Friday night and all day Saturday

8/23/2006 10:03:50 AM

cars are in, shoot me a PM for my number/address to come pick them up

8/25/2006 6:24:12 PM

what is the approximate charge time/ run time?


I hated having the 6 hour charge for 15 minutes of driving when i was younger

8/25/2006 6:30:10 PM

Should be about the same as any other 9.6v NiCD car, 20-40min run time and 2-3 hours trickle charge. You can always buy the quick chargers and a 2nd battery to be able run/recharge without waiting.

There's an electronics store in Japan here that sells this:



AWD, R/C, about $150. Plus it's upgradeable like the small R/C cars in the States.

9/1/2006 10:00:41 AM

bought one of these from Noen for my younger brother and ended up playing with it more than him.

Definitely not bad for $25, and it actually goes very close to 20mph, about 19mph to be exact. The old driving parallel (not to close though) to my car trick proved that. It also looks cool and is nice to just keep laying around the house. Btw, I might get one more from you if there are any available.

9/2/2006 8:58:57 PM

thanks for the review man, I've got 4 left, so you can grab another one if you want it, I'm going to ebay with em at the end of next week, so if anyone else wants one holler at me
