lol, yeah. the tires and wheels? they say they are for a hobby class viper car? wth? they have never made a hobby class car before(unless you count the xmods, but they are border line) anybody know?

edit: found this: http://support.radioshack.com/produc...0-4336&Reuse=N
that car looks kinda like the hpi dash. imo radioshacks best attemt to make an hobby class rc (even though its not there yet).

There is too much plastic blocking a possible ESC/Receiver upgrade lol. U'd have to pull off that stupid circuit board and toss it away, then find places to mount esc and receiver.

Hey guys/gals. I currently employed @ RadioShak, as it is probably the best job around here for a 16year old. I would much rather work there than flip burgers. I work there after school and some weekends.

Anyway back to the subject if you guys want me to get some more information on the thing I can, but IMO its just another RadioShak junker. We do have a ZipZap(r/c car which is smaller than your hand) track setup in the store and im addicted to playing with them little buggers. I know its lame, but its a way to pass time at the Shak...

Peace!!!!

BUMP

I just saw one of these at the Shack and the treads do look kinda sweet. They take an awfully small hex nut though. I bet they'd mount up to my old radio shack buggy.

I tried looking up the parts blowup online, but they don't have it (yet). I was thinking of just asking them how much the replacement treads cost, if they're reasonable it'd be worth a shot.
