I bought a large job lot of R/C plane bits on eBay last night and this was a little hidden treasure that brought back some memories of my childhood.



I dug out the tamiya charging lead for my charger, gave it a fast charge and had a drive around the house....


.....What a piece of crap they actually were lol

I bought a midnight pumpkin earlier this year but snapped a shock and can't find replacements!

They aren't as much fun as I recall them being as a child!

Yeah can get away with it being in my early 20s. Me and a mate managed to take over a skatepark in Caversham once and were launching the cars off the big quarter pipe. The things never looked as cool as it did 20 feet off the ground

My dad has a car that looks like that, probably just a newer version or something.
