I had to get it- it was teasing me at the local wal-mart.
A radio controlled Buick grand national, with the wheels that are large enough to require lifting the car. Not my personal style, but that's not why I got it.
Pros:
Very nice well detailed body,
1:10 scale
uses standard 9.6 V battery packs or AA's
Assembled with phillips head screws, hot glue and masking tape.
Right now, $40
Grand national hood bump, spoiler and air dam.
Cons:
Odd color choices (green or red)
the sub-par toy chassis and controller
the front header panel and the rear area are fragile.
the body and chassis are glued together under the doors, requiring a little careful work to pop it apart.
the logos on the windsheild and the rear quarter panels are painted on- they look like stickers.
To use the body on a hobby type chassis, unscrew and remove the front and rear skid plates. there are screws on the chassis at the front, middle and rear, under the skid plates. Pop the area below the doors, and carefully seperate the body from the frame.
LED's are used in the front and rear for lights, and it's easiest to just chip off the hot glue to seperate everything. The antenna is taped in place on the body.
The two towers in the roof area unscrew.
I'm going to mount mine on a tamiya TL01 chassis, and I'll need to lengthen it about 1/2 to 1/4 inch to have the wheelbase look right.
I will try to post pictures when it's done, or at least rolling, but don't be suprised when these start popping up on ebay.
I don't know how it runs stock- I just canabalized it right out of the box.
