I have no Idea? I have a good friend in Japan who just sends me cars.

something to think about
 
All:

I have scrutinized the pics so far and it got me to thinking.

Couldn't I just take Nikko rc truck, gut it all out, put in real electronics and get the same thing or better?

I saw a Nikko truck for $20 at Toys r Us that could do the job. Any one know what problems I can expect if I try this?

Yeah one simple phrase...Nikko sucks.

They are really whacked out when it comes to engineering and all that. Heck, try it though.

B, I think my wife would pack my bags for sure if that was the case:eek: She already hates rc cars and if I had a hot chick sending them to me it you know what would hit the fan.

SteveGodfrey 04-11-2003 01:38 PM

Glad to hear I'm not the only one whose wife doesn't share my enthusiasm for RC's!

binaryterror 04-11-2003 01:57 PM

Man i tell you...

My soon to be wife would love to have free ones sent to me, from anyone, hot chick or not. That way more money could go into fixing the house and getting her a new car.

Sorry, my question was not clear. I meant to ask if the truck could run off of, say , AA batteries instead of the battery pack in case you dont have the battery pack.

The pajero near the bottom is 13 dollars and it says it comes with motors and is a kit. the one at www.1999.co.jp is 20 dollars and assembled. I will email then tonight so I can figure out what electronics come with this version. Thank you.

p.s:Dont you think were getting a little off topic with the whole mysterious person sending irc cool stuff thing? Its my dream too.

irc, Tell your friend that Ill be his( or hopefully her) friend, too.Lol

irc 04-12-2003 12:42 AM

You need the battery pack made for the truck. AAA will not fit. IM woundering if we are talking about the truck?

MaddMatt 04-12-2003 07:37 AM

be careful
 
I had my friend outside tokyo do a little research and it seems that this company also creates a lot of motorized trucks that are NOT r/c.

The few links I sent to him from this thread all turned up to be that way. He has not been searching hard ( a couple of phone calls to local hobby stores) but so far he hasn't been able to find the r/c ones.

Just a heads-up
