I've been meaning to pick up a RC car for some time now and I've finally picked one. It's 1:6 the size and just to see how big it really is I took a pic of it with Project Interceptor.

Looks electric to me!

I have a WRX RC car and love racing that thing. Same size too.

How much was it ? Yeah it looks eletric to me. Right now i'm just looking for a large scale car body for a mod i'm thinking of. Or i may just create my own car body.

You should mod it to look similar to your Winnebago PC, that would be awesome, an RC Camper. I want me one o 'dem. Pretty cool though.

It's electric, over 30 inches; it has remote opening/closing doors, alarm, horn, and music. It's sooo cool.

How much was it, I'm curious...

I can see it now, the RC Winnebago with built in mp3 player (is that what it has?) and hydraulics, yes... now to build this thing when I get some money and a basic know how of how this stuff works in college...

If you need to know how to do the hydraulics I know how . .I've done 7 or 8 hydraulic models. Here is a Link (http://www.rchobbies.org/hoppinHyd_pg2.htm) where you can buy the kits.
I just put my own kits together with radio shack parts, and made T-slides with styrene.

All you need is Fishing String "SpiderWire", Motors, Switches, and Styrene, and you make holes in the chassis and run the string.
I powered mine with a rechargeable 12v battery.

I guess if you wanted them on a RC Car You could make it where a servo acted as a switch to turn the motors on to raise it up.

lol it has music?? Thats ridiculous! Is it like FM radio or preset stuff?

How fast can it go btw? You wouldn't think it would be able to go all that fast being huge and electric powered.

Maybe when you get the time you could do a lil video?
