nakamichi racer

i saw one of these at galyans and it looked pretty good

it had booster function
really nice looking 5 spoke wheels
the pcb looked longer than a ms and didnt seem to have a cover
the bodys looked pretty good but didnt resemble cars as well as ms did

just from looking in it looked like a good buy or just strip the wheels and use it for a part car

oh yeah they were asking 20 bucks for them little steep for a clone unless the booster works well

i was looking around and they charge for 90sec and run for 9 minutes

also the remote takes 3 AA so that should help with range

They are like most clone, sometimes you get a good one sometimes not. $20 is way over priced though. I do love the wheels on those. The booster fuction is way cool, when you turn, It automatically unboosts, then when you let off turn, the boost resumes. Pretty cool. I bought many on ebay. My first batch, I got 3 of them for $3.01 each ($9.03 total). The second batch, I got 11 for 95 cents each ($10.50 total)! Shop around, check ebay. They don't always have them on ebay, but when you run across them, they usually go cheap.

The remote takes 3 AAA's. The range is good, but you don't get very many good charges out of AAA's (like Zip Zaps).

oh they were AAA

and damn a buck for a car thats a hell of a deal

bdebde, what do you type in the search? any for sale?

I just type in "Nakamichi racer", make sure to check the check box to search titles and descriptions.

Here, try this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=19066

I bought the 3 from this guy. He has 5 available for 1.99 each right now. Only $5 shipping for one or all. I don't really want to sell any, but if ya can't get a deal on ebay, I could be willing to part with one. I really like the wheels on these, that is the main reason I bought them. The boost function is kind of cool too.

i did a pcb and batt swap with mine on my zips. now i have 2 booster zips with nak rims. i also modded the nak bodies to fit bit chassis. the long pcb's fit perfect in a zip. with MW motors they haul.
