Zip Zaps

Just got one of those little RC cars for christmas... those things are wicked fun. It came as a little blue civic, but I also got the yellow Cobra body for it...
It zips around a hardwood floor like no one's business...
Wheeeee...
Now all they need is a 4X4 version that can go on carpet. Anyone remember Stompers?

Yeap, had stompers and penny racers...remember those? I looked all over for a Hobbico RC Racer for my nephew(one for me too), but I couldn't find one anywhere.

I got a 4x4 F150 Harley-Davidson last year to match my truck. It was fun while it lasted. But those kinda of things get boring after a week.

Figures santa didn't give me anything this year.

Do what I did.

Take a stomper 4x4 motor out and put it in a Gplus car, you gotta cut the front out a bit, but it works. The longer shaft motor allows you to make the old Gplus AWD and unbeatable in the turns, especially with earth magnets. I still have that car.

those were the days huh?
