I'll hold off on buying the other Radio Shack car then. My thinking was that if I had 2, then when others were over, there would be enough cars for people to race or have fun together.
But I also don't want to spend ~ $200 on another Radio Shack car, when there would be a lot more benefits to spending $275-$300 on that Wheely King, for example.
My Tsauro-X was also about $200 22 years ago.
Hmm, I see a parts list here for my Tsauro-X:

Here's another doc I found online:

It seems like this has replaceable parts too (maybe they don't make them anymore, but at one point they did?). I'll call Radio Shack to see if they still carry parts, just for my own knowledge.
What do you see that makes this clearly a toy?
Also, you said that you need a good powered motor to do 360 spins. Why is that Nikko vaporizR in the video above able to do it? It seems like a small car.
To me, making a car able to do that just seems like it's a nice to have. It's not the main point, but if I were to get another car, it's something I'd like to have. Do you know of any hobby grade cars that can do it for sure?
