They make very high quality toy rc's that are modeled after real cars to exacting detail. All there stuff is patented, and there RC car and truck bodies are liscenced by there respective manufacturer.

Nightwing 11-21-2002 01:34 AM

WOW! A boat! No bathtub will be safe soon! Outstnading find! :)

payaso 11-21-2002 12:31 PM

They come stock with a dual batt mod. They must need it with a diecast body. The bad part is they use a 9v batt and those are the worst batteries ever. Sweet lookin truck though.

r.c.dealer 11-21-2002 01:05 PM

The transmitter uses the 9 volt battery. The charger uses 4 AA batteries. There supposed have range up to 80 feet! Can't wait till they arrive. I will surely post detailed pics and a review:D

Yeah, but what happens when you go to far with it and it's out of range? Then you are on the shore on dry land and you boat is in the lake floating slowly away from you. THAT would suck! :)

Or if a 20lb bass gulps it down like a tasty snack.... That would really suck.

I guess you could tie a fishing line to it with a hook, and instead of casting out your line, you just drive it out...lol

Its a bit old but may need to invest in a cheep pair of waiters.


My father said that its the first 5 boats you loose are the hardest!

Wonder if they sell replacement boats. :)

I got to try the M-80 out in Sept. at the Hobby Show in Chicago. These cars are awsome! They look like they are made strait off of a 1:64 scale hot wheel car and they dont have the "cartoony" look of a BCG. They handle great and are pretty quick, alittle heavy, but doesnt seem to affect it. The only thing is, i dunno if you can upgrade parts or not.

henry 11-21-2002 11:51 PM

is the boat really 1/64 scale? how much is it? and where u buy it at?

r.c.dealer 11-21-2002 11:59 PM

Yup, its 1/64 scale as stated on the box. Don't forget a full size cabin cruiser is larger than a full size car. The boat is a little larger than the 1/64 scale cars but thats to be expected as its a 1/64 scale version of a boat. The boat is only slightly larger than the cars though. The only place I have seen them was on ebay by that particular seller. They just came out so they won't be very easy to find for a few weeks. It looks to be comparable in size to a Bit Motorcycle.

henry 11-22-2002 12:05 AM

thx 4 the info. it seems not 2 cost much since the rc cars were only 21$

alpha1 11-22-2002 02:54 AM

I just picked up one of those boats tonight. In a few words, the one I got was a POS. It steers using 2 motors, but the quality of the manufacture wasn't consistent, so one motor spins faster than the other, making the boat turn around in circles, and impossible for it to go in a straight line. The battery placement should be centered on the hull, but someone at the factory decided to mount the battery on the left, so the boat sits tilted to the left in the water. I was having a problem with the buttons on the remote, they would light up when you press down on them, but no signal was being transmitted. I had to wiggle the buttons on the controller to get them to work. I can't expect much for something that costs $20, but I'm taking it back to the shop in the morning.

SuperShot 11-22-2002 03:14 AM

alpha1,

Sorry to hear about the quality, but which shop did you get this in?
