It's the same as the RS 50th anniversary vette and new 350Z. I liked the Vette (until I took it apart).

Yeah my brother has the 350 z from Radioshack. They are very fast for a 3 cell, and have long run times, but they LAGGGGGGGGG. It's nothing like driving my epoch, i get tired of it fast. That skyline looks really good though. The lights are nice to :cool:

Yes but I don't remember how many steps, because I sold the car I can check.

I also was thinking on buying a couple of Think Happy because they are shipper then the Ripmax, and if the electronics are the same they are similar to Epoch they also have in the top of the board a kind of JST connection for the lights, just be careful when removing the body it has to come straight up.

The spring on the back is attached to the body, that is not very smart and all the springs should be softer because of the weight of the car.

have fun

I drove one of those RS Vettes in the store and thought it was pretty fun. I dig that Skyline. I think I want one of these.
...crazy man, crazy...dig it.

Are you kidding me??? Please say you arn't from the states. If that is the case then you need to go the way of ebay. The RS vette has been discoed for over a year now, but it still can be found at low traffic Radio Shacks.

Yup! I'm in Portugal in Europe I can found Radio Shack here and actually I didn’t found yet a place to buy it in safe besides EBAY that I don't consider that secure, especial after I had to purchases not arriving and decided not to buy again there.

I think the RS corvette is discontinued, and the radioshack 350z is in canada, was on sale for 49.99, but they jacked the price up to 69.99 i don't know why they did it but they did.

Heres one on Ebay if you change your mind.
