i was surfing and i found these the actuaaly look ok for a minni rc car for the desktop that is lol but its crazy how you can change the motors they have motors that go up to 34 000 rpm you can change them and replace them also have gears for faster driving and they have little headlights and tailights i know its a waste of money but i think they would be neat to have go slow as hell but thats ok ow yea they have different tires like slicks and touring its kinda cute lol zipzaps (http://www.zipzaps.com)

They are fun to play around w/ and I have heard of people drifting them. I have an Evo VII and an STi, but they don't have lights or any of that jazz.

I had one. I broke the cheep, plastic servo thingy crashing into my foot. They are kind of fun, except dam radioshack is soo cheap they put the worst crap in there and charge you $20. At least when you buy a real car you get what you pay for(sometimes.....).

I got a Radioshack Zip Zap, I think it's actually pretty fun. They are surprisingly fast, and the bodies look awesome.

My steering wires snapped also and the metal things on the bottom that are where the radio and rc meet to get charged kept shifting over so it couldnt be charged. Its broken now. Took a few too many falls from the kitchen counter, cuz god nows it has to be the best setup for a track lol :D
