Red face Crazy/stupid story to tell....

Ok, my cars have been broken for months! I have not been getting around to fixing them, and I had a dual cell shen, and I loved it. Fast, powerful, and most of all. Fun. Today, after so many days of NOT fixing my bits, I fixed a cheap clone from Walmart. WOW! Does it fly! It might just be me, not playing with my cars in a long time, but dam! This thing flies!

Well, that's my story, just had to tell it!

They aren't too great, but the wires on them are awesome! They are small, but they don't break too easily. And anyways, back to the car... It is called a Micro Turbo Racer. They come with a fast motor as a stock car.

Yea, they come in a bullet type thing. They look like a snow globe is what the look like, except the top is a dome, not a circle. These ones don't come with metal bodies, and not dual celled.

Well, they handle awesome,, but the downside is is that they come with really rank hard tires, and the rear rims are larger than normal ones. Now for the rating.... hmmm, maybe a 7 or an 8, mainly because the tires suck so much, and the batteries don't last too long.

Yea, the steering is pretty good straight out of the container. I would highly recommend replacing the tires, they really suck, and most of the bodies that are on them really suck.
