  Hey guys,
  I was passing through Kmart, Horsham this evening and I cam across a new micro. The one I bought is a black X5, but they also had several others there. On to pictures…
  
  …and the best part, AU$7.99 with a spare set of batteries…

  lol not for $7.99 they aren’t..
  
  I spotted these too here in Perth, it was the Dakar Pajero that caught my eye. Didn’t buy one though, spent my money on baby food instead.
  
  2WD, running on 3 button cells from memory.. Detail is quite good

  Yeah these things are proper tiny, and after running it, it is WAY over powered with 3 cells. I can’t even drive it on out wooden floors, it just donuts around… The detail is VERY good, shame about the photos. I’ll try to get some better ones this weekend. Not much room for mods or anything. The circuit board is soldered to the battery terminals, holding the motor-pod closed.
  
  I’ve been out and about today and seen some 1:43 scale Ferraris, some 1:24 (more like 1:30ish) Ferraris and some Tamiya q-steers at Leading Edge here in Horsham…
