I just saw these, also. Wonder if they can be modded with taller tires and a different body shell?

I went to a T R US earlier today, and didn't see any......

I went and looked at them at Target. They are smaller than I thought. They're about q-steer car or choro-q sized wheelbase, possibly smaller. They appear to be skid steer with rubberized rear wheels and hard plastic fronts. The wheels are tiny. The box said two 30k RPM drive motors.

I'm interested, now I just need to convince the wife to give me my allowance.

FYI don't trust their website to be accurate.

Why? Do they shill for advertisers or are they just lazy? I never really paid any attention to this group.

Um........ I meant Target's website that shows items as "available" when there are none.

Oh, that makes more sense. Target gets a bit optimistic with their "in stock" tag every now and then.

Targets website is still sketchy ever since they split from Amazon. I don't think their own platform was quite ready to be released when they did. I think they're still working out all the bugs on their inventory tracking.

I went into a store and looked at them on the shelf. I'm in there often to buy diapers for my son.
Still trying to convince the wife.

Just picked up one of these, unboxed it while waiting to pick up the kids.....
what a let down. No steering mechanics, just tank like drive with a motor on each rear wheel.

Huh? You know, that might actually work for something I've had in mind for a while. If you have a ruler around could you measure it for me please? I'm mostly interested in the width...the length can always be easily altered.

Now who was it that was talking about a contest?

Everyone!

On a completely different note, so glad the "Tard" section is still intact around here - what great therapy whe you need a laugh

so anybody pick up one yet?

this long and no reviews???

ibjamn · Post by **ibjamn** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 12:32 pm

I did get one, didn't even try charging it because I lost interest once I saw it didn't have steering mechanics.
