New clones at Walmart (brand = "Awesome"?)
 
I didn't get to look at them much because I was with my girlfriend (who thinks I have a serious problem with these things).

Anyway, I think the brand was called "Awesome". They had Fast n Furious bodies and they were much more proportional looking - wheels and bodies looked more proportional.

Anyone see these? Better yet, anyone have any feedback on them? I already did a search for them on the forums...

on that link u just posted the cars have a steerin wheel. i wonder what it'd be like driving with a steering wheel. it's probably something to get used to. i saw the motorworks in the walmart finally but decided to get a H2 64x instead. i like the looks of that truck.

ooh, interesting, in that link it says series 2, 4 channel coming soon. wonder wut they gonna do with the extra two channels, 3 speeds? that woudl be cool, or a turbo button plus a headlight control

dabigpig 05-10-2003 01:51 AM

i would guess 4 channels like 4 cars can race together type thing now it's probably just avaiable in 27 and 49mhz untill it gets two more.

I don't think we nailed it, yet.
 
I think the cars I saw were different from anything so far.

They definitely had F&F bodies and they came in a container *like* a bullet, but it was designed like a NOS bottle. I guess I'm going to have to buy one now and review it/take pics. Darnit [sarcasm].

I'll try to get back to you guys this weekend - busy with work and the condo, lately.

Here they are!!!
 
I found them on the "other" forum.

Here's a link to them on eBay

What a RIP-OFF!!! Just pick 'em up at Walmart for $13.

here's the link to the "other" forum - you'll have to remove the spaces between the words...

That is a terrible rip off on ebay. The cars cost $15 or $17 (can't recall) at wallmart. There is a thread and pics of these cars in the zip zap forums posted by azimov I think.
