Hey all, I recall the thread about those mini r/c cars circa a few months back. Well in todays radio shack circular, a brand of said toy called "zip zaps" is now being sold. for $19.99, you get the starter kit with everything needed, in popular body styles such as mustang and 911 turbo. They carry additional motors and gears, and are sold with a "fast and the furious" endorsement. seems pretty good to me, the other ones from japan come to around $30 shipped, and these are local and cheaper. I think i'm going to go in on these now.
