How do they keep the engine running when it's upsidedown?
I think they use a clunk, just like in planes.

does it even have a suspension?
Probably not, I think that's another purpose of the oversize wheels and tires. I dont see any shocks from the outside. I also observed in the video that its kinda bouncy and it flips a lot. An rc with shocks would absorb the impacts and keeps the car on the ground.

I wonder how it steers since it does the 360 spin?

Anybody know what power plant they use.

And where is the antenna?

whats a clunk
Its a peice of weight attached to the tip of the fuel tubing inside the tank, the fuel tubing is very flexible and practically dangling inside. When the tank is turned over the weight (clunk) will pull the tubing down where the fuel is.

No, because there is air pressure, it will blow bubbles thru the liquid fuel, and air will always go up, and liquid will go down.

It could be fun, before you break something and then how would you get QUALITY parts. It would be interesting at a skatepark, but I'd rather spend my hard earned money on a Savage X. Now kids are gonna think they can race anything saying, "It's got a REAL engine and goes 25 M.P.H.". Then they're gonna want to race, and leave with their tails between their legs. Someone's gonna have zero experience and hurt themselves. I bet some guys would put like 40% fuel and just totally melt the engine. It'll be interesting to see what happens now.

When are they comming out? All this talk makes me curious of what it actually looks like up close. Since it runs upside-down or whatever way. Is the engine horizintal rather than vertical like ours?

Too much elitest banter going on here... I'll wait til they come out and then I can examine one up close and judge for myself...
if they were meant to compete with hobby grade cars they would not be sold at walmart, so bragging that you would 0wn one in a race really makes no sence.

personally if I had to choose, I'd rather have a 25mph car in the hands of someone who can't drive than a 50 - 60mph one.

i think alot of kids r gonna be dissapointed burned annoyed(when they first fiddle with the needle valve and cant get it started) and possibly blown up. it wont last long anyway we all know what rc cars are like 1 in 10 runs something goes wrong normally its just the tuning or a loose screw but little kids r just gonna take it back to the store

i would be suprised if that is on sale for more than a few months

From what i've been reading i'v noticed that know one mentiond buying it.

When a kid gets this do u think there going to know that they need fuel?

And what six or six teen year old ig going to spend cloes to 200 dollors on a walmart toy!

I know a few people that are nine that have savages and they race good but there dad help them do u think anyones going to them?

Just think of it as a cheap nitro that we can aford to beat destory whatevery with!

Who really wants to spend 500 on something to beat on when ur tired of fixing ur monster!

this is a simple equation:

a group of stupid teens + matches + rockets + fireworks + nitro fuel (available at toy shops all the time) = there goes my best friends hand, arm, leg, face, ball, etc

I usto have a hasbro or tyco motorcycle it was awsome it would be so fast and i would crash it a million times and it wouldnt break it was like a brick with two wheels, the only thing that was able to break it was me with a screwdriverwell atleast the motor made for a nice little toy for two days. So what am i trying to say you nvr knnow how good or bad these may be, but im still kinda skeptical.
man

i wish i could comprehend what you just wrote.

Personally, I just think that's gonna be a rather poor attempt of getting into this kind of hobby. I hope that it's geared toward a younger age group, but what 7 year old is going to know how to tune a nitro engine? I think it's a waste of money, but who knows, they might do well.
