I had them...way 2 slow for for me...They were cool for a few days then they sat and collected dust till I threw them up on ebay. They didn't have much of a range on them either...worked about 5 feet from the remote then stoped. But if you like little toys like that, maybe they will entertain you more than they did me.

Microsizers and Bit Char-G are better. You can get kits to upgrade the range of the controller and battery kits to extend the charge. They have new ones too with a "boost" option. You have to get a special controller though with a "boost" button.
Right now I've got a 3.0 motor, getting a 3.8 for xmas, the softest tires on the front, hard suspension, and a drift kit smile.gif .
They are more fun if you have somebody to race with, otherwise they do get boring.

edit: this kit is pretty cool too, adds blinkers, stop lights, headlights, and a reverse light. Check out the video for the ultimate light mod.
