$6 Charge-N_Go Semis at Walgreens
I've grown fond of the $6 Charge-N-Gos at Walgreens, but when I went to pick up another yesterday, they had these instead, and they where also $6.
they have the same off road tires that come with Motorworks, which made it worth it to me, but it also has a dual cell pack sitting on top the PCB. Why they had to put it on top in beyond me, so I stood it up in the chassis
Quality is not bad, and it handles great. It wasn't quite dual cell fast, but I think that's because of the green endbelled hardwired motor, that I believe is the same as a ZZ SE steering motor. Probably set it up like that to give it torque to pull a trailer. I'm gonna stick a Motorworks motor in there, and it should scream.
Lots of mod potential for $6, I gonna try to snag more.
(Note: If you live in West Phoenix, stay the hell away, they're mine!)

No shit, another step closer to reality in my Smokey and the Bandit 1:64 re-make. 
Dear Life Cereal, Where do you get off? Part of a balanced breakfast and delicious? Who do you think you are? By now you may have guessed I'm speaking ironically and have nothing but good things to say about what you do. Life cereal do not change a thing.

Yeah, I noticed that. I'm planning to clean all the hot glue and other gunk out of that area, so the cells can lay flat in the chassis. I plan to convert this into a flat bed to transport my prostocker.stampede_dude wrote:i had one once dave. if you wanted to tri cell it easily, under the pcb is an unused cell slot like the one in bits that is just waiting for some use.
@SG, let's just pray they still have more when I go back next week.

Not bad Dave. I've always wanted a Tractor Trailer ever since they came out but couldn't give up
$19.00 - $29.00 for one, didn't seem to be worth it to me. But $6.00, now that's not bad at all.
As a matter of fact, I found some at the closeout of "Amazing Saving" a few weeks ago for $3.54.
Setup was the same but not nearly as neat, fuck'n wires going everywhere.
Speed is like a 2.6 without trailer, with trailer is more like a 2.2.
The controller is small and made to resemble a gas pump and the charging cord the nozzle....
