On a scale of 1 to 5; 1 being the lowest and 5 highest,
here's my scoring...
Steering/Control (Score: 2)
In order to have such a low profile car, the manufacturers of the Phat
Boys decided to borrow an idea from Takara (who make the Digi-Q) and
have rear wheel steering. The front wheels are plastic and do not steer
whatsoever. Steering is accomplished with a pair of motors, each driving
one of the rear wheels. In order to turn, 1 motor stops while the other
keeps spinning forcing the car to turn. This technique works with the
Digi-Q, but with the Phat Boys they offer no means of steering trim
and turning is very jerky.
Styling & Looks (Score: 4)
If you're into the Phat Boys Diecast cars, you're gonna like these.
They're just as squat, squashed and 'Pimpin' as the Diecast version!
Portability (Score: 5)
They had people who want to run around with their cars in mind! The
car charges/docks in an enclosed 'pod' and the controller locks onto
the top of it, the pod even has a beltclip on the back.
Packaging (Score: 3)
The cars come in a cube box, nice enough nothing overwhelming.
Speed (Score: 3)
Decently peppy.
Overall Score: 3
A cool car to add to your collection if your'e a Phat Boys fan, but
it doesn't offer much to the hardcore racing/performance enthusiast. |
