Lol. MY friend brought one of those to school, and he was riving it around class. It didn't go very fast, though, and it is very vulnerable in an area with lots of people...

What's the difference between these things and those little RC cars that everyone from the spammers to Walgreen's were selling over Christmas?

I got one of these (non-Radio Shack version) for Christmas and it stopped working after playing with it for about 10 minutes.

Twenty years ago Radio shack was the only place you could buy things of that sort also computers, etc. I don't see how they stay in business these days with all these electronic super stores.
**EDIT-Supper is at 6pm dont be late**

i can't figure how they stay in business either. i spend about $30 a year there on various things, mostly cause they are close.

they should get rid of the bull**** electronics they sell..like that RCA and realistic stuff, and start carrying higher end stuff like macintosh and denon. then, train their staff really well and develop a reputation as "the place to go for audio video". make all the employees experts rather than the dummies they have now. i think they could make a ton of cash that way.

no offense to anyone who works at the shack.:D

Radio shack is a multibillion dollar industry. They sell twice as many celular phones as every other store, shack, cart, college soliciter, combined. The only company that has more locations is (not starbucks) macdonalds. How they do this: overpricing and taking advantage of stupid customers. You see, their stupid employees are able to comunicate in Stupid, the perfered dialect of stupid customers. I hate them, yet can't resist.

wow. that was a classic insight that we should save for posterity.

seriously, you so perfectly summed up radio shack, not to mention best buy and a lot of the other store/institutions/governments in the world.

very nice!

One thing you might want to try is to push down on the little motor at the back of the car (it's the little silver thing). I had a similar incident when I drove mine down some stairs (don't ask), and a friend of mine figured out the trick.

[Tommy Boomfiger]

yeah, the fast and the furious kit seems to be the only way to get the yellow motor.

[look_ma]

lol, zipzaps are fun, but bosses seem to think they decrease productivity (crazy, huh?), so my answer is 3d zipzap. pretty fun game, you gane credits by going thur the first course and you just repeat until your car is awsome. My huint to you is just run thur the money course amny times and then just buy the 200,000 motor and 200,000 gear, it is pointless to buy middel upgrades. oh almost forgot the link: http://www.shockwave.com/sw/content/zipzaps
