I'm pretty sure those are the same cars that were being sold on ebay a while back. My nephew got one, I saw it but never opened it up. All I can say is that it wasn't bad, maybe about equivalent to a first gen ZipZap performance wise. The body was pretty good, the tires were rock hard though, so if you are going to run it on a slick surface don't expect it to stick well. You might be able to scuff-in the tires with enough use??? I only played with it for a minute or two, but it seemed decent. On the plus side, what do you have to lose? Fifteen bucks isn't the end of the world if it sucks... I've payed a lot more for total crap. If you do get one why not put up a post with your impressions of the car? It might be a great find.

Anyway, welcome...hope to see you around in the future.

And um, yeah we really do need a review done on them. And um, it's obviously not going to be me. Nope, definately not me. It's gotta be someone that hasn't had 3 for nearly a year and barely touched them.

My Scooby Impreza has:
dual cell
single coil magnet steering
bit/zip size hardwired motor
lighting (headlight and interior, taillight)
booster board

Best thing: Charges through the 'Fart Cannon'

ok why didn't that show up in my search....

Don't worry man, that was a hard find. "that supra-ish blob looks kinda like my Scooby-ish one. *tries some obvious keywords...million hits* I bought it at a Fry Electronics, therefore FRY is my secret keyword to find the post which I made about it."

They're decent. Good detail, interiors, shouldn't be too bad if you De-rice them. Secret tip: If you've got any 1/43 scale spring-motor cars, check if the sticky rubber tires from them work on your rim sizes.

They do have lots of good stuff, I've never ordered from them but they've been around long enough that I think they must be pretty good or they wouldn't have survied.

Check this link out, I dare you to turn your volume up all the way and listen to the song in the video...I think I'm going to hear it in nightmares for months to come. http://www.toyz.cn/MiniRCTruck2008d.htm

i modded the car that looks like a fto or supra. i took out all of the lights and interior. for the battery i used a rechargible AAA 3 pack.i painted it black with blue flames and a blue front end. i am still loking for some rims and tires that r the right size. with the mods that i put in it is allot faster. i will be modding the black 1934 chevy coupe for my dad soon.he is starting to get a little bit intrested in rcs. he drives my older brothers revo 3.3 every now and then.
