Remote control toy MINIs

I just received a Christmas catalog from Norm Thompson which offers a set of two 1/24th scale MINIs with remote controls. Battery operated. $49.95. They are item # 18431. I have no affiliation with Norm Thompson, just thought some of you might be interested in "adult toys."

Thanks for the heads up. I'm happy with my Traxxas Nitro 4tec, with MINI Cooper Body on it. It does 62 MPHs.

Nah, seriously, thanks for the heads up. These would be interesting for me and my daughter to play with.

It gets banged up pretty good. You should see some of the tumble crashes that this thing has done. AWESOME !!!

I bought this one from Hammacher Schlemmer on clearance (still on clearance, actually): http://www.hammacher.com/publish/761...?promo=QSearch.

The USB "garage" charges the remote-controlled car for up to 5 mins of desktop fun :-)
