Hey All,

If any of you wanted the 1:6 scale (It's HUGE!!!) R/C Mini Cooper, Sam's Club (Of All Places) has them! I have gone through heck trying to get one, and there it was on an end stand today at my local Sam's Club. The colors are Chili Red and Dark Silver (Forgive me folks, I can't recall the true name). The silver has chrome type 7 hole wheels, the Chili has 7 hole, but the wheels are white. The package sells for $68.99, and the sticker indicates a "One TIme Only" buy, so I'd get there, as I've seen one time only items vanish quickly (i.e. ,green imac 233MHZ). The box allows you to play with the horn, lights, and door locks. I can't describe much more than that, but I'm planning on getting the silver tonight. If any of you want the specifics, let me know, and I'll continue with the post.

Jim :cool:

Sounds cool. Let's us know how they are to drive.

The sun will be down before I get back with it, but I'll let you know how it drives tomorrow.
Jim :cool:

Thanks for the info, just finished charging it up. Got the silver/black one. Drives real good, suspension a little stiff, pulls good through the entire rev. range. Stops okay and the horn and lights work! Haven't noticed any cold start issues yet and there is an extended warranty available! No kidding. :lol: :lol: :lol: Are those zenon headlights?
