Hey guys, I was at Wal-Mart today ( as usual ) and I saw this focus 1/16 on sale for $20 so i figured I'd pic one up.

Its motorized steering and get about 60ft of distance outside. Its a little too big for inside the house though. I used the bit scale calculator and it goes approx 250 Mph. The big bonus is it takes only 4 AA and 1 9V to run it :eek: :eek: :eek:

Its awesome. It phast as fuck.
specs

Using bit calculator it goes 250Mph ( I'd say about 20 real MPH )
Handling is great. the motorized steering makes it smooth
get about 60ft of range out side ( about 25 inside)

I'll have to wait for a really dry sunny day and take some video.

It takes a 6v pack or 4 AA in a adapter pak. Will be buying the NmHi 6v next week sometime. Should gain some speed then not that it needs too.

I'm liking the 1:24 and 1:16 stuff more and more but there expensive. These cheapies are nothing compared to some of the 1:16 out there.
