has anyone seen these? i just got one for the kid for xmas at walgreens for $10. i had to check it out to make sure it worked right. it's really top heavy and way to fast for the weight. it kept falling over everytime i turned. solution: slick tires front and back, lower gears and motor and viola! it works great! it's alot of fun now, more like a skateboard would handle. i wish i got 2 of them but i used the only good slick tires on his. maybe he won't like it and give it to me. it's a blast!

is it just a skateboard or a guy attached to one? can you do kickflips?

it's a guy on a board that snaps on a regular chassis. at first it looks kinda cheesy , especially from the side. from the top it looks cool, but once you start playing with it you seem to forget that the wheels don't look right. it spins, does wheelies and even runs on carpet. it must be geared down first though. too much speed and it just keeps falling over.

did you put a car body on it? how does the chassis run alone?

it runs great alone. it's a super racer car with a skateboarder on it. the cool thing is, if you don't like the skater just take it off and put a car body on it.
