Crazy NEW Fast and Furious mini r/c's

Hey everyone, I just went to walmart today and they had these new cars. They're pretty cool, they're about the same size as a bit, but more propotional, like a ZipZap. They're 2-speed boosters, so they're fast. They drive really bad though. The rear axel is crap, the car keep vibrating up and down. Here's some pics. I'm going to open this up and see if I can add bigger tires and fix the axel problem...

so I was wondering what that big green thing in the middle was. Just took it apart. This is the first STOCK DUAL CELL mini r/c I've seen so far...

here you can see the dual cell, it goes through the pcb. They're around 16 dollars.

They have the F&F RX-7 and the Eclipse if I remeber correctly. The boost button does icrease the speed a good amount. The tires are too small to keep the car on the ground. I'm definately gonna change them
