If you found something you don't think anyone has seen or has seen and not posted info here. I came across a pic of a mini-z clone and can't find any info on it.

From a china company called Long Sun Electronics Co., Ltd

Would like know if anyone has seen these things for sale anywhere?

Found their web site.

http://www.longsuntoy.com/New%20Folder/index1.asp

Looks like they only sell to retailers. Min order 500 pieces, but it seems you can negotiate price on this site http://www.alibaba.com/member/syl1971/product.html. This site distributes several Chinese companies to the world.

Who here has the resources to be a retailer of these products in the USA?

It's a Iwaver!!

Its looks to me as a Re-packaged Iwaver. They might be where Iwaver gets theirs and then pack them in IW boxes, or the other way around.

Cool lookin car though.

Hey , Just noticed these are what I am getting. Im buying them through a middle man though. Im getting 10 of them and I will be selling them.
But I dont think im allowed to discuss/promote my buisness here.So unless im authorized Im not going to talk about selling them or a price.

Besides,
I am keeping one for myself anyhow , so I'll do a write up with some decent pictures and a video for you all

.....

They seem just like an iwaver , Im picking one up as a sample on saterday morning , So expect some pictures and a review. Im quite exited to try it myself

They have subaru wrx ,lancer evo, enzo , maclaren (enzo and maclaren I think are a different setting MM?) and a few other well known rally cars.

I'll keep y'all updated

I think as long as you're not spamming or trying to conduct your business through the site, there's nothing wrong with letting pimps know what you're up to in the appropriate forum.

I will try and find out for you now , The guy doesnt speak great English (like myself

) but i'll try my best with him.

EDIT : ok I got somewhere

He says :
Iwaver02 is same as the fittings of our cars

and : we're the OEM manufacturer for iwaver.

I said : Oh I see , so that means you make the cars for Iwaver ?

He said : yes.

Hahah yea ! so its official , They are iwaver 02's , or iwaver 02's are these

honda_s2000 · Post by **honda_s2000** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 3:48 am

They seem allright , Might order myself one actually. Or a couple to "test the market" , Im assuming they would sell better than the iwavers ?
