@yakkoTDI looks more like a stubby Polaris Slingshot with a Spy Hunter squirt gun on the back… But if it were a scale RC Reliant Robin equipped with Clarkson mods for easy tipping, I think I’d be in hard.
@djslack@yakkoTDI You could always reverse the connections on the drive motor and see if they’re already present. Of course, that assumes the presence of enough motive power to pull itself over a cliff with a running start and a 50mph tailwind downhill. (Disclaimer; I have no idea how these perform.)
China China China. I think these are made in China? If they went like 30min or had like 1200lbs of torque. I’d be in they look like they go 2 mph and get stuck going up your driveway at a (10 degree angle). So no can do Even @ this price.
@PooltoyWolf I would hope for a more 18+ toy for $50 ish. Something more in the bags racer 15mph 4 wheel drive category. I don’t usually shop for kiddie toys on MEH even though I have bought a few for kids in my family. I want big boy toys. Anyone agree!??! Come on MEH. BIG BOY TOYS PLEASE!!
No rechargeable batteries. WIth kids playing with them that would break the bank - especially since meh hasn’t sold packages of a billion AA batteries recently.
I mean, you can buy rechargeable batteries with a charger. Those sets aren’t very expensive. I don’t think the most common ones will charge 6 AAs at one time, but otherwise, it’s very doable.
Connect two for simultaneous play? What does that mean? Will one remote control two cars at once? Can my kid and I each play with a car without crossing signals?
@mattsayar They connect individually to each included remote. In other words, they operate on an exclusive connection and have no interference with other connections.
DEMOLITION DERBY TIME!!!
Bought 2 sets for my boyz and their best friends.
will turn the garage into the arena
grandfathers are the best for a reason
$50 for this kinda fun, well worth it…
My goal in life, when I’m gone I want my boyz to say, hey remember poppy, yeah, he was crazy!!!

3 wheels? So a Reliant Robin?
@yakkoTDI Think of a dune-buggy-modded Robin with the trans modded so that it has multiple speeds in reverse.

Can it make me whole again?
@chiefbugbung Buddy, these are just plastic toys. They’d crack under the emotional support you need.
I could see stripping this down to the bare bones and mounting an ESP32 wifi camera for cheapo ground patrol drone.
Got any in 1:1 scale? I need a new car!
Electric, gasoline, hydrogen, whatever…
(I am willing to pay a bit more for an appropriate one.)

@bugger Even though I’m positive these things will perform better than your outlook, you seem to have a high bar for today’s kids’ toys.

@bugger They DID have that super cool looking ‘Laegendary Buckster’ front loader I wanted but couldn’t justify! That name, though…
@PooltoyWolf I saw that! Now that was a good start
Race cars? Who is Meh kidding? Maybe they can race a snail, but you know the snail will finish the race.

@Kidsandliz I miss those big boxes of batteries! (Eveready Silver, NOT the leaky Lucas ones) I’m nearing the bottom of my supply from last time.

@troy Does every set use the same pair of channels, or can multiple sets be in use simultaneously?
@werehatrack Multiple sets can be in use simultaneously
@troy @werehatrack These are 2.4G, the same technology most drones use. You could have a dozen in the same space, all operating independently.
