Went into a hobby shop today, and they had two. Are these things any good? Anybody got info on them? Anyone want them? I'd be more than happy to pick them up and send them to anyone if need be. They are a little scale Supra and Evo in a white nitrous bottle-looking thing.

Don't think I would buy one for the body. The bodies are die-cast metal, I believe.

I know I wasn't the only one to buy one. I got the Supra many years ago.

Factory dual cell, 2 speed, Incredibly SCALE Appearance, Plastic body, great weight distribution.

The tires are absolute crap! They will NOT hook on any surface known to man! These are also a VERY tiny tire, like 0.350 OD. The only other thing I've owned with similar size tires was a single channel IR racer that came either in a Pen or a weird remote with a cheap game built in, hold on I've gotta find one it just might work!

If you're in deep enough that you have to try colecting and modding everything possible, then you already know the answer. If not...

Edit.
The REAR wheels off a micro IR single channel car ARE the right size!!! Perfect match for the fronts on the F&F car, the REARS of the F&F car are wider but the new tires will fit back there too. The newly found donor tires are a hell of a lot softer than the other. Now I need another one to finish out a tire swap unless I try making something stupid like a Cut&Shut ZZ/Bit tire.

I still have a few of those cars. I liked the scale becuse they were vary true 1/64 scale and you could put a slot car body on them.

The tires I used were off of a Johnny Lightning they fit with a little modifation and they look good. Here is my Mustang Slot Car on the 2F2F chassis.

10 bucks per car. I've kinda really gotten out of the micro scene, but curiousity got the best of me when I saw them. I figured maybe someone on here might want them or know that they are worthwhile. BTW, they had all sorts of other dome cars, such as an old school mini, an f1 car, etc.

I'll do 20 shipped per, cause I gotta drive 15 miles each way in the gas-guzzling Exploder. He's only got two, and I can nab pics of the others if interested.
