Just got the two I ordered in the mail today. Here's my Bill Elliot Nascar. My other Nascar is #6 with Valvoline as the sponsor. Anyone know which driver that is?

Nice. May I ask where You found these? And a little more info please.

ITS ABOUT TIME! Geez.....took them forever and a day. A man had to resort to making his own. There are going to be a lot of happy campers.

Sidenote: There is a line of 1:64th vehicles called 64x Chargez also that have a Nascar body ( its plastic though not die cast). I have HEARD these are slow despite their dual cell stock chassis.....I wonder if this brand will smoke'em?

SOB's! I bought two of them and they only go forward and backwards. The quality of the car is great. I haven't looked underneath the body yet. It's got some tricky screws I have to get passed. The charging station is AWESOME! Well if you're a Nascar fan that is. It talks to you while you're charging. Asks if you want 2 or all 4 tires changed and makes the sounds as if they really are hooking you up. Then when its about done charging, yells at you to go, go, go. The connection on the charger is also great. This would be one helluva car if it only turned. I also got a Nkok micro boat, two Micro Blasters, Microsizer Sport and Rally Racer today. It never ends.

If you're still interested here ya go

Whew!! Thought I paid $20 for them. Couldn't remember. I guess for that price, if you're a Nascar fan, it's well worth the money.

I dont know what the policy is here in regard to posting retail links but its a "mom and pop" store on the net. I havent bought one yet but i may if my creations ( chassis) dont work out.

Talking Charging Station...definently cool. Now...if we can modify the station ( which shouldnt be hard ) to charge other cars...PERFECT COMBO

I'll let you know how close it comes to fitting a Zip. It's nothing like the other Nascar wannabe you just posted. This one sits right next to the ground. That one sits "way" too high it's just ugly. I just picked up the Micro boat today. They sell them at all GameStops in the malls.

The Micro Boat that was pictured? Darn it...i cant find those any where around here. Right next to the ground sounds REAL nice
. I might inquire...just so i can mod the Station. Ill lower the other bodies. Oh well....if anyone buys the "ugly" 64x Chargez Nascar let me know. Also ASK for a discount.....i inquired a while back and they said it was possible ( but only with multiple orders) so who knows. Maybe they will go soft. Probably not lol

Mark Martin used to drive the Valvoline car he's still #6 but his sponsor now is the all mighty Viagra.

Those NASCAR cars came out back in 1999 or so...I was working seasonal at my local Toys R' Us when they came out. Nice detail, but not full functional control.

Do you recall them moving off the shelves at a decent rate back then Steve? 1999.....why dont i recall seeing those?
