Comes in two channels, but they are random so you might have the joy of racing two cars together, or the joy of controlling two cars with one remote. Hedge your bets and buy as many as possible
@boc F350 vs. Corvette? My money is on the F350 when the meet in the inevitable head on crash. It’s going to be worth the $20 just to watch it go down on Christmas morning!
What’s the frequency kenneth range on the remote?
And when you run out of range, do they stop, or keep on going until they’re forever lost like a cheap drone with a tailwind?
I can get basically the exact same thing at Five Below for $5 each AND I can make sure they have different frequencies so both kids can use them at once.
This is one of the worst deals I’ve seen on meh without the word Bluetooth attached.
@SnakeJG but that would require one to go in and possibly interact with… people. Screw it, I’d rather pay a $10 tax to not mingle with mouth breathers.
@SnakeJG Nice catch. I see that 5 below charges $3 shipping per item. At meh, you can pick you style and the color will be random. At 5 below, both the style and color are random.
I was about to buy two until I saw that at least one of these is on Amazon for $14.58. Others are $15-$18. Meh just happened to choose to highlight the most expensive one to get their 2 for $60 price comparison. That’s sketchy, therefore I pass.
@phatmass I noticed that also. It seems… dunno, sketch, misleading, disreputable… at least offer a price range on Amazon comps, innit. “$30-$60 (for 2) at Amazon”
@givemehdeal So the warranty time is 1:12 scale and the distance is about 1:10000 scale. I suppose you could use the candy corn as traffic cones. Mmmm… traffic cones.
Reviews (for the Spyder) are pretty bad. Reviews for the Bentley (all 3) are positive. Most of the others don’t have any reviews. I was on the fence for stocking the gift closet, but I think I’ll pass…
@OnionSoup Herein lies the problem with your statement: the Honda Fit is assembled from empty beer cans and old milk cartons, neither of which will rust.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How do you expect my son to learn to drive if he cant even get into the seat! What is this a car for an Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus). How am i supposed to take my wife on date night if i cant even get a bag of my melted candy corn in the back seat. My whole neighborhood is going to think I’m overcompensating for something if I get two of these which equals 4. “hey look marge the crazy guy in the floppy hat with his 10 pineapple mugs that stabs candy corn now has 4 RC pickup trucks with one controller.” i will totally get kicked out of the home owners association. My only saving grace is when i attach my my mpulse blast & blast mini bluetooth stereo speakers to the roof of the trucks and blare “its a meh-rathon” to show everyone how MEH i can be. But i regress. Why not just sell me a car so i don’t have to come visit this website everyday. I love you meh, I’m going to miss sitting in my tree looking in the window of your office. Please let stop calling the police and pay no attention to the smell in the northeast corner above the vents at your new place, i will shower soon.
FYI: Each car is $10 and you must buy at least 2 cars which is meh’s clumsy way of making it a “2-for-Tuesday” deal.
Don’t be fooled by the misleading invoice. After adding two selections to the “cart” it will show a quantity of 2 with the description: "2-FOR-TUESDAY: BRAHA 1:24 SCALE RC CARS"
If you have a qty 2 x “2-… CARS” you would expect that to be 4 cars in total. IT IS NOT! After adding two x “2…CARS” to your order, you’re still only getting 2 cars total.
/giphy meh math
@sammydog01 I don’t know why they couldn’t list both the options under a single item. Like THIS , THIS or THIS , for example. There are two options (size and color/style) to pick under a single item. Why not have a single 2-for-tuesday item with option1 and option2 under it? The customer could select 2 of the same model or 2 different models. Probably has something to do with inventory and such, but if they want to sell them as two-packs then that’s their problem.
@Zebra The turbos are taking too long to build boost on the Vette. They need a better drive ratio, and probably larger exhaust tubes. Maybe a stronger fuel pump and bigger injectors.
The front page says it’s two for Tuesday. The button says buy $10.00.
It’s misleading until reading more. And not a tactic I appreciate.
Although I’d purchase 2 for twenty because Christmas is coming. I’m not. Stop being shady, meh.
I don’t like feeling like ooooh such a deal! To ooh, it’s still worth it but not so great as I was initially led to believe.
@medz My guess is they mean after you click the 2 for $20 there’s a button that says $10. And it won’t let you order only one. Unless I have the special VMP only button. We’re so special!
@sammydog01 No VMP goodness on this one. I thought I was in good shape… order one for the nephew, free VMP shipping, done and done. Nope. Wouldn’t let me checkout until I added a second car.
It’s misleading until reading more. And not a tactic I appreciate.
Yeah, they are real masters of deception.
I am just happy they can get my package to my address. Subterfuge is not something I really worry about here.
Problem: 2x of each car was advertised/promised in each box. I ordered on two for Tuesday and thought u was getting TWO Lamborghini’s and TWO Ford F-350 trucks. There was exactly ONE Lambo in one box…and ONE Ford F-350 in the other. And I ordered with VMP. I notice LOTS of similar complaints. HELP!
@giolee88 Mine just arrived and both were the same channel. I’ve got a Red Corvette that’s 49 mhz that I’d trade for the yellow one if you are still looking to swap.
@AnotherFineAcme , sweet, I don’t suppose you’re in the States? That’d make it a reasonable shipping effort. I’m in the DC area. Shoot me some info at joesthinktank (a) yahoo.
No, @mfladd …didn’t you hear, black is the new orange. My lexus is black. The corvette is yellow. For that matter, I also have the black Porshe spyder that can go too. All of 'em are 27mhz.
Received items ordered the 911 and the spyder both came with fingerprints and the white thing on bottom of car that moves broke off when I touched, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SEND ME 2 BLACK CARS?why not one black one another color ?was a pussy move indeed these cars are Garbage maybe a lil silver paint where the mirrors should be geeze…You show us all that color selection then send two of the same color That was someones return, wake the fuck up … Ty team Meh your the best lol

At least I wouldn’t crash these as quickly as the quadcopters.
@cengland0 My daughter crashed hers 45 seconds after opening. It ran into my cheek, I bled.
@rtjhnstn Prolly made it difficult to sit for a while.
Christmas gifts??
@boc My thoughts exactly. So cheap I won’t care when he tears it up.
@boc Definitely. Ten bucks? Winner winner chicken dinner.
@boc F350 vs. Corvette? My money is on the F350 when the meet in the inevitable head on crash. It’s going to be worth the $20 just to watch it go down on Christmas morning!

@mtb002 You don’t think two identical remotes could cause some problems?
@pooflady
Nope, just means that when they lose one, the other will work. Lots of two-fer meh toys end up used for spare parts.
What’s the
frequency kennethrange on the remote?And when you run out of range, do they stop, or keep on going until they’re forever lost like a cheap drone with a tailwind?
@2many2no is the range 1/24 the range of the full scale remote?
@2many2no I see what you did there.
I can get basically the exact same thing at Five Below for $5 each AND I can make sure they have different frequencies so both kids can use them at once.
This is one of the worst deals I’ve seen on meh without the word Bluetooth attached.
@SnakeJG but that would require one to go in and possibly interact with… people. Screw it, I’d rather pay a $10 tax to not mingle with mouth breathers.
@SnakeJG They don’t look quite as nice, but they do have them for $5.
@2many2no true, meh’s are prettier, not worth double the price though.
Imma gunna go out on a limb and say that the ones Meh is offering are of noticeably better quality, @SnakeJG.
/giphy noticeably better quality
@SnakeJG Nice catch. I see that 5 below charges $3 shipping per item. At meh, you can pick you style and the color will be random. At 5 below, both the style and color are random.

@Brasssong I would have picked that! Except in yellow like my family had when I was a kid.
@Brasssong That was my first vehicle. I don’t know how many times the front emblem got stolen, but it was a lot. We ended up just painting it on.
Did anyone else notice that the exhaust on the 918 is the wrong place?
@wmbarr It’s also much smaller than a real 918.
@awk or is it much bigger?
@wmbarr The original concept had side exhaust before they switched it to the top exhaust. Guess that’s the model they used for these.
I was about to buy two until I saw that at least one of these is on Amazon for $14.58. Others are $15-$18. Meh just happened to choose to highlight the most expensive one to get their 2 for $60 price comparison. That’s sketchy, therefore I pass.
@phatmass So buy the expensive models and feel better about the deal it will be sold out quickly on those models ?
@mellowirishgent meh.
@phatmass I noticed that also. It seems… dunno, sketch, misleading, disreputable… at least offer a price range on Amazon comps, innit. “$30-$60 (for 2) at Amazon”
Warranty not 3 yr/36k but only 90 days? Also where do you keep candy corns?
@givemehdeal in the back of the pickup.
@givemehdeal You can go way further than 36k mm in 90 days, on the upside.
Pbbbttt, @RiotDemon… they go in the glovebox. Keeps them out of the sun so they don’t melt.
@givemehdeal So the warranty time is 1:12 scale and the distance is about 1:10000 scale. I suppose you could use the candy corn as traffic cones. Mmmm… traffic cones.
@mehcuda67 good idea. Use candy corns to setup hurdle tracks to see which model passes.
In for the 911 and the spyder looks awesome just to look at like a model.

If I refuse to by anything until it is compared to a banana, will anyone care?
@hchavers
Probably the bananas.
But no promises.

Of course not.
@hchavers I’m fresh out of 1:24 scale bananas, sorry.
@mehcuda67 @hchavers
I’m not fond of tiny bananas to be honest.

So far there aren’t too many Bentley fans! But the best feature of the Bentley is the interior, and at 1:24 scale it would be a very tight squeeze.
For that last picture: “Something went terribly wrong / The car’s on fire, there’s a whole lot of smoke”

Hmmm. Link works fine for me.
@gumtreertmug It’s a joke, referring to the last image.
