Super mini racers
" The worlds smallest rc car!"
A bit clone also known as a bullet clone (comes in a bullet type package). I found these at cumberland farms (gas station chain) on the impulse buy shelves.
The bodies look really cheap but I thought what the hell, I'll try one. The thing is quick, so quick it cannot be controled, it goes right into donuts and even spins out on take off. When I say donuts I mean I don't even have to turn it just starts spinning.
This is great and all but not much fun for the lack of control. I did however pop the motor (perfect fit/interchangable) into a un modded zip and I get a nos equivelent motor with a touch more torque. At the very least I spent $15 for a fast motor and a future pcb swap candidate.
The drawbacks;
You can't tell the freq from the package I wound up with 2 27mhz cars.
The bodies are cheap.
I think it's a good trade off, I will buy one more and see if I can get another freq.
If you are in the Albany, NY area you can find them at the cumberland farms on central avenue before you hit the colonie center headed west towards schenectady.
