Hello all! Newbie to the board here...

I was also wandering the toy section at Wal-Mart today, and I saw this "Motor Works" mini RC car. In fact, it was the only one they had left. The salesperson told me they had around 50 in stock Friday. For $13.88 I figured, "Why not. I can always give it to the neighbor's kid if I don't like it...".

I just placed an order with Radio Shack for two ZZ's and some accessories which should arrive tomorrow, and I don't own a Bit/MicroSizer yet, so I have nothing to compare it to. But so far this thing is pretty damn cool. It's fast, it handles very good, and has a decent range, (at least 20' indoors). The only time I flipped it was when I ran it on the ceramic tile floor, and it "tripped" over a grout line

It's manufactured/distributed by Planet Toys in Sarasota, FL, and made in China.

I just can't figure out what the body is. It's 49MHz, yellow /w black stripes, a red "54" on the top, has racing decals on the sides, and looks like some sort of import SUV. It would've been nice if they would have at least marked the package with the make/model of the car, but I'm not complaining...

I attached a pic of it in the storage box. I can post some of the car if anyone wants to see it...
