Not to completely de-rail this thread (lots of great feeback so far, thanks!)... but does anyone know anything about this car?:

From what I gather, its a cheaper knock off of a RC18B... but for $40 with battery, it seems like it might actually be a decent choice for a kid. I just know my oldest wants something bigger in scale (since I run 1/8th like I said). (My biggest issue with "toy grade" RC is always the TX/RX... but this has an FM setup which is interesting).
Still... might be worth it, especially if you can use parts from a RC18 B/T...
Thoughts?
