Here is a pic of the controller. This thing has proportional steering and speed. Working headlights and turn signals.

It was $49.99. This is not a Zip Zap. It is 1/43 scale.

The car comes with 2 batteries. You have to install 6 AA batteries in the charging base and 1 9 volt in the controller. There was a Dodge viper available around Christmas.
It takes 2-1/2 minutes to charge and run time is around 8-9 minutes. It has an on-off switch on the car and you can cut it off and it will save the battery power if you don't use it all.

No plans to mod this one. My wife bought it for me for my birthday. She would kill me for what she paid for it if I was to go messing with it. Besides, this thing is way too fast already.
