I got these when they were $20 a pair. I tested them then put them up for a later birthday or Christmas or something. Cheap entertainment for the grandkids someday. Maybe we’ll take them down to the pool for added excitement!
Actually I got a couple of these in a prior sale and gave them to my kids to play with. The cars seemed appropriately fast for their size. The kids (10 and 12) enjoyed them for a few minutes. I don’t think I’ve seen them play with them since.
@therealjrn Yep - right there in the produce section of the fridge, where every good and decent 'Mehrican keeps his or her or xer or qzk or qwertybbq batteries!
I guess I’ll get the GMC Sierra. The F150 I got last time won’t drive straight and intermittently stops responding. That’ll teach me for buying a Ford!
@OnionSoup I’ve only owned one import brand. I had a Nissan pickup for a few years. Otherwise I’ve been a GM owner all my adult life. As an auto enthusiast and collector, I’ve owned other brands, but my primary transportation has always been a GM nameplate. I guess that’s my comfort level, it’s what I know, am familiar with how to work on them, so that’s what I stick with.
Was in Hollywood last week and saw real versions of these everywhere. My daughter asked if we could get a cool car like the ones we saw. Just bought two of these for her… I’m officially the dad I swore I wouldn’t be.
Got a couple of these before XMas as gifts for some of teh adults boys in my family, and they managed to freak out all the animals at the house! Win-win, heh.
Picked these up for office gags in the last sale. The scale range is easily 240 feet, or 10 actual feet. Not very impressive. One of them is still in the box.
@sammydog01 Yes, three years ago. Right between which lost connection, flew away and got hit by a car the second time I tried to fly it and which I haven’t opened yet.

@therealjrn how big are they? Are they the size of hot wheels or bigger like the size of your palm/hands?
@AiraCobra About a small banana-and-a-half. A little longer than an outstretched palm and fingers.
@therealjrn with shipping, they still are 420 a pair.
/giphy pair
Lemme know when those remote-control dogs go on sale.
@chacham @therealjrn Wow I want those 2 for $15, they are adorable!
Meh? Crap!
How fast are these?
@a13z They just stay where you left them.

On an unrelated note, I may suck at presents.
@shahnm But I bet you had the batteries for them!
@therealjrn Yep - right there in the produce section of the fridge, where every good and decent 'Mehrican keeps his or her or xer or qzk or qwertybbq batteries!
I had to try to buy this 6 times before the order went through
@somf69 You will be receiving 12 cars…
I guess I’ll get the GMC Sierra. The F150 I got last time won’t drive straight and intermittently stops responding. That’ll teach me for buying a Ford!
@ruouttaurmind I never buy American. GMC will let you down just as much.
BTW interesting fact I learned a long time ago so not sure if still accurate… (But was about 10 years ago)
The #1 exporter of cars made in the US is Toyota.
The #1 importer of cars made overseas into the US is GM.

Where’s the Teslas?
@scapri they couldn’t figure out how to make an electric RC car
@scapri Somewhere between here and the asteroid belt.
1/24 scale is math, so most of us need some size help. Where is the bana… can of cheap diet soda?
@hchavers Here’s one of my Porsches next to my cat’s back-up banana.
@hchavers @therealjrn that is indeed small. It disappears on the page.
@hchavers @RedOak Yeah the image dissapeared.

@edavies Awe, buying a child’s love. So sweet. oh wait…
@edavies In weakness there is strength.

I would rather receive a Ghost Pepper enema…
@Bumplepimp
/giphy fire farts
@Bumplepimp you must really hate RC cars!
That’s a really good price… Shame my son is probably too old now and my girls wouldn’t be interested.
… Oh well, if my son is too old maybe I’ll pick one up for me.
@OnionSoup a boy is never too old for remote control toys, I’m a kid in an adult body and I have a bunch
@OnionSoup My 17 year old daughter was playing with the one I got her for Christmas last weekend. She set up cones and everything.
screw it…In for 2 for my neighbors boys (they own 2 GMC’s)
/giphy unbalanced-outspoken-spark
well…at least it isn’t two for Tuesday fidget spinners. I am sure they’re unloading a shipping crate of them for next week.
I recoil at the sight of the term “Lambo”
yech.
No thanks
GMC Sierra is 205.5" so a 1/24 scale would be 8.5625"
Porsche 911 is 172.1" or 1/24 = 7.1708333"
Is this correct? Is this the definition of small?
@accelerator sounds about right
Me: 10 year old brother is turning 11. What should I get him?
Meh: We got you homie.
Picked these up for office gags in the last sale. The scale range is easily 240 feet, or 10 actual feet. Not very impressive. One of them is still in the box.
I ordered two different frequencies so I could race them but got both 49MHZ. I emailed Meh but haven’t heard back. Any advice on what to do next?
@wolper
Did you check your spam folder?
@PlacidPenguin They got back to me and are sending me a replacement!
@wolper Awesome! Had the same thing happen to me. Hopefully they’ll come through for me too.
@dswaldner6535 They didn’t have the exact car I ordered so they are sending a different one. Works for me.
Hmm I looked in my Meh orders and I see that I’ve ordered two, but both were cancelled. I wonder why? I do not remember cancelling them.
@Fduch Three years ago? I don’t remember what I had for dinner last night, I’m impressed.
@sammydog01 Yes, three years ago. Right between which lost connection, flew away and got hit by a car the second time I tried to fly it and which I haven’t opened yet.
And don’t even get me started on
@Fduch time to open that second drone and disorient yourself!
