i got an i racer the other day, it didnt work at all, returned it for another that did work, but not worth the $30, should have just got another bit, anyway, the infrared thing is cool, i like the controller, but the handling is horrible, its fast though, but spins out like crazy, turns by itself all the time, anyone out there thinking about it, go with the real thing, a digi q, from what i heard they are one of the best of the infrared cars out there.
