Looking for something to do this winter...

[lockedINgood]

So winter is coming but your not in the mood for upgrading or playing with you car, so you want something that you can play with inside which is small, but you don't dont want a car, you want something different but can't find anything interesting? Look at this :D!

It looks pretty cool, and who cares if its made by nikko. I might think of getting one myself ;)

Note if that Lenco kit is similar to the Power Supply kits they sell, I promise it will provide hours of frustration all winter long.

Thats kewl... Just this once, I wish I didn't live in Hawaii....... Maybe they'll make wheel conversions

[bullfrog]

hey dude you live in the islands???? man you can still get it all you have to do is take it on the beach! Remember sand is JUST like snow but snow is cold n stuff. Infact people go out to the sand dunes and race thier full scale snowmobiles there!

[rcski]

someone had a post in the chicago show column on the sled, and I think they said there will be a wheel conversion kit for it. If not it wouldnt be hard to make something up. I'd like to know the price on it.

[Jwelch]

I'd take a Micro RS4 over that thing any day......

[wojo65]

Ok this "thing" is a Gyro Balancing r/c robot by nikko. It uses the little red circle things to walk around but it doesn't walk by picking up its feet, the red things spin to make him move. I have seen movies of it going and it balances very well. the only thing I don't like about is its face, I would probably change it to a different color or get the other one which has a different face.
Bullfrog that thing looks like crap, its not really a 7 channel r/c car, its a "7 functions" car.

If you want movies or move info go here

who the hell buys these things, or better, thinks of them? what are they? just get some scale trains, or a canned heat to drive around the house.

me, i'll dive my nitro truck in my house all winter, yes, thats it.

get a real race simulator, that may satisfy you for a while, good thing for me is i at least have some good snowmobiles to drive :)

i'm not saying not to get these things, but what the hell are they?
