Pocket-Sized RC Cars Hit U.S. Soil

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the vroom-vroom-VROOM dept.

airrage writes "RC cars are nothing new. But apparently, ZipZaps, now being sold at RadioShack, are pocket-sized, modifiable, and can be tricked out with body kits and other accessories. Even more impressive, "A 16,000-RPM performance motor is included with all starter kits". The story at extremetech here is." Kinda like the Thinkgeek cars. Yes, TG is part of OSDN - obligatory disclosure.

    Actually no, i had the lucky fortune on clicking reload at just the right second and saw my oppurtunity. I was so happy - could this day be the day i get the illoustrious first post? I was excited and my palms started sweating. Faster than I ever have moved the mouse or typed on the keyboard I posted the comment, the only place i slowed down was to wait 20 seconds before i can post. And I do not use a bot and will not sue a bot - because thats just not nice!

    And one would have to say... 'Who gives a f*cking shit about first posting?'

    For god's sake, there's hell of a lot of things more worthy things to get excited about... and posting 'first' on a website such as this is not one of them... god damn...

    And the other guy to get angry over it... f*cking hell... get a damn life people... get a life...

    You don't quite know the feeling of satisfaction you get when someone who has spent 3 times what you did on a car gets the doors blown off by your 15psi turbo honda with custom engine management. You'd be suprised by who's out there, wings and all. Of course, most of them are posers. But not all of them ;).
