but what would be the point to have a heli copter that drives around. i hope it flies.

No way it can fly. Look at how small the propeller is. And they only want $8 for it.

Real micro helli's and even smaller indoor micro planes should be here and in force in 2004. If Tomy or others don't already have a prototype for them, I'd be surprised.

your assumption is correct. THEY DON'T FLY! to bad for us.

Of course, just cos' it doesn't fly doesn't mean it won't be added to my collection.

For the cost, it'll look great next to my tanks. I'll tell you guys if it's worth it.

How does this sound...
A sand dune like race course for my hummers with helli's, tanks, jeeps and large pictures of Saddam Husein (half torn, burnt and shot) in the background?

Are the wheels on that hummer custom or did it come with those.

i bet with a mosfet mod, lipoly, and a perfection 3.8, you can drive it off the table and it'll "fly" for some distance, especially if you got a small jump ramp at the end of the table (kinda like british aircraft carriers that have a small ramp at the end for their harrier jumpjets to do a very short take off instead of wasting fuel to take off vertically)

nope they don wast fuel takeing off vertical they only have about a minute of vertical fly time because anymore and the engiens would overheat and cease up cuz the coolent doesn't stay cool enough anymore. so they have to be moving. still would be very cool to do tho.

I'm keeping quiet.

Away with that no-fly helicopter. It's all about those swirly-paper-helicopter-looks-like-a-seed thing which I forgot its name. Remember?, the paper things you can drop from high places and it will spin as it falls to the ground.

custom my friend. i will post if i can figure out where i got them. that hummer was a cannonball. then after a few mods (cargo space on top, whip antenna on hummer and new rims), it gives it much more meaning.
