Started out Saturday Morning, I went to a Computer show and found a vendor that was selling clones. He had Shens, Precious, Panthers, Thor’s, etc. for $12.00. I don’t own a Panther so I offered $20.00 for 2 Panthers, he accepted. Then went to the mall later on and KB Toys was clearing out their “Micro RC” cars for $9.99, bought 2 of those. Then stopped at
Toys R Us on the way home and found the “MS Pro Series” for $24.00, so I bought one of those. Now what boils my water is that not 2 months ago, I got a Standard MS from Toys R Us for $34.00 ??? and now they have the “Latest & Greatest for $24 ? Well let me tell ya, it might be the latest, but definately not the Greatest. Performance wise, the 2.2 was quick in boost mode, good in un-boosted mode. Steering was excellent as always but range? My range was 4′-6′ ! No Joke! at $24.00? I wrote Hobbico last night about the issue, I’ll keeep you posted with the results.
Wasn’t particular about the Celica body so I got a Skyline R34 GT-R body kit.
The “Panthers” that I bought, that I’ve heard so many good things about dissappointed me. In one word…..”Slow” Steering is good, Tracking & Range are excellent. Fit & Finish are good, decals….nah!
Now the “Micro RC”, this car I’ve purchased numerous times before from KB Toys. This is one of the most excellent performing Micro’s I’ve ever purchased. Speed, Tracking, Steering, & Range all get “A+” in my book, every last one I’ve purchased! These have consistently outperformed every Micro in my stable straight out the box! No mods are needed for this one!
Bodies are white cast, finish is okay, painted windows, paper decals. If you ever get a chance to get one of these,do! it won’t dissapoint you!
