That's cool, I've kinda been interested in an Epoch, but at $80 it still aint cheap.
I guess it's not that bad really, but I just love bits cause they're so cheap and simple. I guess that makes bits kinda "ghetto" in the hobby world. So I guess I'm just a "ghetto hobbyist".

I love that commercial... DeeeeGeeeeMastaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Seriously, though, these are the EXACT same chassis and controller as the Shaq 'Vette... Not quite as good as an Epoch, but a fun ride nonetheless... The Shaq is clearing them out right now for $25(dammit! I paid $32 for mine!) if anyone is interested in grabbing one still... They don't have anymore online but you can still find 'em in stores..

EDIT: I can totally relate to that "ghetto hobbyist" thing lol...

I've been seeing this cars for a while in some hobby shops here in Portugal. Never driven one but already had one in my hand and first of all they look weird... Seems like the length of the car isn't proportional to his height and they sit a little high from the chassis. I've noticed this on the Impreza and Lancer. The Skyline looks more normal and the front of the car is really low. The quality is nice, but I can only tell by what I saw without opening the car.
BTW they cost 60 EUR here in Portugal...

They aren't in stock, but for $40, when they get them back in stock, it's worth it.

If n e one has um or knows about them, do they have problems like the ZZSE's. How many steps in steering (left or right) do they have. And how many foward and reverse speeds. Thanx.
