The F1 cars will definetely NOT drive on carpet. Man, that would be like a fullsize F1 car driving the sandbarriers outside the tracks! Works for some sec, but then you?ll have to renovate the car…
About the range and runtime I have no good answers. I opened the box, plugged in some batteries, charged the car and drove it around my kitchen/hall. Then I gently took out the batteries and placed the car back into the box. Why? Because I have nowhere to drive it, no-one to race with and just was curious about the F1 racers.
The next thing was I put the 2 cars I?d ordered out for auction, and hey, now they?re gone!

The wheels are soft plastic, like the BCG cars. They handle quite well and they do need quite some space, remember, we?re talking 1:43 scale here, not BCG!
Say you?re building a track on the living room floor, well then you?re OK. BUT, if you?re thinking of using your microtrack or the kitchen table, forget it.

Yeah, it steers using the front wheels.
I agree with you, let?s skip this Ferrari stuff for a while…

Here are some pics at the car at my track:

What rpm?s can you use. I?m guessing 2.2 at the most, maybe more when you?re experienced, or…!?

The 1:43 F1 at Toyeast is fairly good, I think. I ordered & tried one out. Good speed, NICE looks and good controller. If you want F1 at a descent price, go for it!

Trackmaster…? Well, I figured I was going to become a master in designing tracks for these little yodas we love to play with. God knows what happened then! Lack of time, I guess…

The Big Brother show here in Sweden brought us entertainment all the way – the girls went around…wearing next to nothing and they even perforemed intercourse. Is that really entertainment?

Well, since the original batt is 50 mAh I would guess the 200 mAh batt needs to be charged 4 times….am I wrong?

I personally wonder what the TOMY 3.0 motor is good for? There?s no torque at all, you really need the gear set to be able to use it at all.
I?d rather use the Perfection motors, they?re working the way I want them to.

When is the upcoming Mini Monster due for release? That car just MIGHT get me into the Mini-Z scene…

You place the switch under the shell just like the battery and the lights. If you work with the placing of the switch a little you can make it stick out the antenna hole of the rear window, then you don?t have to remove the shell just to switch on/off the lights.

Would take me forever to come up with that list, but hey, if that?s what people want…
Let me look through all the stuff and get back with the list, hopefully within 24 hours (have to get some sleep now, it?s 01:30 here in Sweden).

Later

What do you need?
I have so many things i stock, but the market here in Sweden seems to be totally DEAD!
Please tell me what you want, and i will give you an offer you cant?resist…that goes for all other of you “Ausmicros” too as long as there are parts in stock.

I bought one of these Treasure cars about a year ago, and I really liked it. The controller has a very plastic feeling to it, but I really prefer the steering wheel controller compared to the standard buttons. I wish I had bought some more of these cars when they were available…

The rear tires have different dirt grades I guess. One tire has better grip than the other, and therefor it goes in circles. Try racing it on another surface.

I don?t know exactly what parts you mean, but the lowest parts of the bodykit are cut from plastic credit cards (or similar) and then glued to the body. Quite simple I think, but the result is fantastic!

Holy sh*t!

Nice work! That?s a real transformer *lol*

It is a pullback, but you?re right, the cruiser is from Disneyland, Tokyo. Check this page:
Cruiser

They even have the steamboat as a pullback:

Silly me!!
If only I could keep my mouth shut :smiley2:

Nice working anyway, good to see your gang of chargees!!

Thank you for your opinion, but hey, if it?s so ugly you can always put on another body. I know that the Smartland car is a tad shorter, but no major mods have to be made. Think of the possibility to race 4 MORE cars at the same time plus the ability of propotional speed.

The battery is a Tomylike Ni-MH, 1.2 v, 100 mAh.
