the bodies are interchangeable...
the tires are interchangeable...
the electronics are relatively sealed (can run outside)...
they have a steering trim (to make it go straight)...
When I was a kid, this would have been the greatest xmas present ever...
I'm having way too much fun...

Oh I've seen those lil things, it's pretty popular around here where I'm from, but I've never purchased any. I'll probably end up breaking it before I even get it home. :-\

I'm surprised how sturdy they are...
my cat swats it across the room, it just keeps on moving...
they are put together simply, but well...

only 4? how can you sell a 5 set unless you have 5? :) I'll have to look into that. I have four friends who would love these.. but I want us all to be able to race. lol

Just think.. Being able to race with RC cars INSIDE of the house..
What a novel idea it is...
They have a sale up at our mall cause they have a kiask devoted to those cars.. Only $5.99 / car :)
I've already got 3 *lmao*
<< trying to colect em all >>

Spelled almos right, should be: " Você é bem vindo", but if you meant "YOU´RE WELCOME" as a polite reply to thanks it is wrong. We don´t use that phrase to that. We use mostly "De nada", wich means "For nothing" but it doesn´t make sense to ya, isn´t it?
;P

wow.. 5.99?? I had to pay 11.99. I got 5 of them though. Should be good for the majority of my friends (those who don't play heroclix that is)
Thanks for turning me on to these guys. I know we're gonna have a blast with em.
