Radio-Controlled Microcar Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the matchbox-envy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ExtremeTech test drives the latest in techy toys: a new wave of tiny radio-controlled cars from Asia. The site's RC car showdown pits the MicroSizer against the ZipZap. ExtremeTech tested the stock version of each car, but also added a faster engine to the ZipZap to see if it would boost speed."

  1. But really, by tcd004 · · Score: 2, Troll

    The tiny body panels of these things won't hold nearly enough lighter fluid to allow me to recreate the crazy hot stunz I so enjoy. I much prefer to create basketball-sized flaming heaps of molded plastic.

    Read Richard Gere's Ass Zoo.

  2. Boring! by ksplatter · · Score: 0, Troll

    After I read the first article about the ZipCrap^H^H^H^HZap I thought these things sounded awesome. So then I went over to the lcoal radio shack to take a look. The freaking thing is about the size Schlong (thats not saying much) and moves about as fast as an old lady whos fallen in her bathtub. Don't give me that argument either that to a freaking ANT the thing is going like 100 mph. Because I really don't care. I think they should take this concept and increase the size of the car about 4X. Then it would go like 100mph if I was a hamster. It would probably be pretty cool tthen. Right now it's just a waste of 20$.
