Good deal on this. This thing is a blast! Comes in red and blue (27 and 49 mhz)

I got onw of these from Etoys about a month ago. The battery life is limited, and the steering takes a little while to get used to, but boy is it fun!!! I recommend it highly, especially for the price.

Interestingly, the 27mhz is considered a "big" shipping item, wheras the 49 mhz version is only a "medium" sized item. Buying the 49mhz purple version will save you $.50 in shipping! 49 mhz

This is a great car for a great price. the shipping is a little steep but buy 2 or three to make it worth while. I've purchase 6 of these babys. My kids go to birthday parties all the time and it makes a great gift. Why give some piece of sh**t when you can give something like this?

Make sure you buy extra 6v batteries. Here's the link for an extra battery that works with the charger that comes with the car. 80% off at $2.99.

how fast are these things? i used to think my old Tyco Turbo Blaster was pretty fast. But that was nothing against the custom R/C car kits.

Wow this does rock.. great gifts. I also bought one of each 27mhz and 49mhz.. cause if you didnt know you cannot operate two near each other on the same frequency. Then I snagged on the extra batteries.. all total with shipping 52 bucks wow nice. I have a couple nephews that will think I am a god..

couldn't help myself...$10 shipping sucks, but hey, still good!

and i was just kicking myself for not getting a similar item
a couple months ago - nice how things work out sometimes! : )

how do you make a search that shows all the items that are at least 75% off?

 

[locker22]

anyone have any problems with etoys since they're on their last leg?? that's the reason i didn't order this earlier...it's been that price for over a month now.

I bought 2 of these buggers and 2 rechargeable battery packs as well with it. I hope thats what they need. It says they need 9.6v rechargeable batteries so they have them onsale for 12.99 each.

Oh well if it don't work thats life i'll just race em around in traffic and watch people swerve

 

[rhowcow2]

Actually the HAVOC runs on 6 volt batteries not 9.6.

 

[Afronaut]

The Credit card is flying...Bought three purple cars and battery packs.

 

[Fritzo]

Ny shipping was 5.95. Wierd. Anyone call CS about the shipping differences?

 

[Fritzo]

I figure they have a warranty from the company, so big deal if EToys is going under.

 

[BigDady92]

are y'all sure it runs on 6v not 9.6???

 

[RiceDiGiZ]

[BigDady92]

can you run the 6.0v with the 9.6v battery?? is it possible??

 

[anandfan]

Great. Just ordered 2 of those cool cars plus 4 of the alarm droids (only $3.99 each). Now I'm set for all those pesky nephews (and neice). Or maybe I'll keep them for myself. Can never have 2 many alarm droids!

 

[Fritzo]

<< can you run the 6.0v with the 9.6v battery?? is it possible?? >>



Yes, with a slight modification involving some wire on the contacts and tape to hold the battery in place, you can run the car on a 9.6v battery...and it runs like twice as fast. Bad news is the motor burns out in about 30 minutes.
