I was shopping around over at good 'ol TE and found this Hummer.
Does anyone know anything about it?

It was only $16, so I don't know how good it could be.

SG I looked on eBay and found this:

Looks like the same thing I dont know what shipping from Toyeast would be becuse this auction has shipping at almost $20 bucks but it does give details of what is included and how fast it is supposed to go! hope this helps a bit.

Thanks SWG.
It's looking like a glorified Tyco right now.
I ordered one anyway from TE the other day. I hope its worth $16. I got a bunch of other stuff too, so shipping wasn't that much of a factor.
Maybe something can be done with it when it gets here to bring it up to speed a little.

Well, what's the word on those Hummers?
Up to 15 MPH? (a-hem). Downhill, perhaps?
I shouldn't be making fun, 'cause when I saw it
I wanted one!!!!

I forgot...sorry.
It comes unbuilt. If you like to know what its like to build a TYCO or NIKKO RC, then this is for you.
It comes in several parts and needs to be assembled. Not a hard procedure at all. Especially if you can built an Xmod.
The detail is really good.
The speed is definatly NOT there.
It makes sounds, like motor reving and shells being fired when you go forward.
The steering is tank-like. The front wheels are their own pod and contain 2-180 motors for the drivetrain and steering.
The front shocks are for show and the rear shocks are functionable.
Its front wheel drive.
Value for $16 USD....B-
It was cool to build a Tyco-like RC, and to see the parts involved with it. It has decent tires, and a cool body. The speed is absolutley overrated. Use it as a play car for the kids when they come over.
