Simular style, but not the same. Check 'em at your local WalMart......

the chassis and tx look the same as an "enertec micro charger", sold in aus. if so, modders will love them! use many, buy lots!

it looks like a new chassis design, sounds expensive though. Not only is it hotwheels, which are ussualy a pricey name brand item. it takes a stone age 9V and 4 AAs, you might pay more for the batteries

looks like everybodys hoppin on the micro r/c bandwagon. Kinda makes you miss the old days when there was BitChar-G, and no one new about em except the little underground cult. man what was that 4 or 5 years ago? the good old days

Tru Dat, everyone's got a Micro RC now which in my opinion is a good thing! I can now buy a $5.00 clone and make it look & run better than any "$29.00 stock Bit out there! And still keep cost around $10.00

The Hot Wheels are $19.00 at WalMart.........

It'd be so cool if there was a Twin Mill bodystyle

The controller does look identical To the Micro Speed cars from BigLots, but the chassis is different.

I honestly don't remember what was different about the chassis, but I was just looking at those last week at Walmart, and I rememer that looking through the package I saw something different. I think it was a hard wired motor or something like that.

The first few Hot Wheels micro RCs I saw didn't impress me. One was this futuristic, space looking thing, and the other was this space age looking surfer pickup, that my kid has the die cast of, and I just didn't like it because they had to deform it so bad to get it to fit over a RC chassis, but then last week when I was at Walmart, they had some cool looking jacked up, off road looking pickups. I wish I grabbed one of those instead of the Motorworks I ended up with. I think I'm going back for one, they were only 15 bucks.
