So I picked up a couple. Generic Brand X, "Desert Tornado" I'll know more when I crack the lid.
I think the Artic Hummer colors are pretty cool !

The artic one is pretty cool.

Judging by the tires those look like one I FETed for someone recently. Hardwired motor. Decent out of the package, but kicked ass with FETs.

Let us know how they are, I'll probably want you to hook me up with a couple, I never even heard of 5Below.

No 5below even on this side of the country, dammit. :lol:

Hey DT don't give those away in a trivia contest. Drive 'em around see how they handle, should be not bad.

Tell you what, send me 2, I'll put FETs in one and send it back. That hardwired motor is fairly quick and very torquey like a MW motor, works great for carpet running, and mild offroading, I like 'em.

The Desert Tornado's are different than the H1 Hummer. The H1's are much better. Got them both and there's no comparing.

You should be able to get them cheap enough - I just talked about oddjob\amazing savings. They got those also for $3.99.

Yea I got the H1 when they first came out and they are all that. I haven't tried the Desert Tornado yet but they can't be that bad for $5.00.
