these RC cars are on sale in the UK at Marks and Spencers for 19.00 pounds if anyone happens to be in the area.

It must be either my computer, or my eyes, but it looks like "THE Stig" lost that round. Can't be! But as the video says, "more to come" so I'll keep watching!

Us SoCal Seveners had a group buy of the RC models. Tomorrow we will have our first living room AutoX. Better than a real one, given the rain here.

[Greg350]

U can buy these in the USA?

Are they left hand drive and smog exempt?

Did you guys buy these ones, or just another RC car?

 

I wonder how the steering mechanism is... cheapy like a Radio Shack toy, or actual Servo.

I gotta start looking into a 16:1 LS1.

[MoPho]

I ordered them from the UK and had the whole lot shipped here.

 

Haven't opened them yet, today is the SoCal Caterham club Xmas pizza party and RC auto-x, but suspect it is more Radio Shack than servo for the $30 they cost

Well be careful on the roads, I notice that the drivers are not wearing seat belts.

Some say that he is not affected by the laws of physics, and that is ass is made of velcro.... All we know is he is called the Stig

[Greg350]

I assume this is the site (it was linked to M & S via Top Gear UK).

I see the price per item is now at 15.00 pounds with a shipping charge to USA of 10.00 pounds , is the shipping cost per item or per order) ?

10 pounds per order

[Greg350]

Cheers Mopho, let us know how they perform, if you get 2 are they on dif channels?

[lancylad]

Hi guys

Me and the wife just got two of these, you got to let the supplier know you need a different channel on each. We didnt and now cant race each other. Still a lot of laughs tho. Steve

[scannon]

Maybe we should do a group buy and have a race at every Se7ens gathering. I wonder how many channels are available.

[lancylad]

Only two, gotta be some way around that one.. we Canucks are looking foward to getting south of the border next year. If you will have us?

[slomove]

We had a lot of fun.

 

[slngsht]

lol. onboard camera was great. So... who was the Ace?

[slomove]

Magnus F. He beat everybody being twice as fast or more.

 

I bet he practiced before or maybe he is a video game addict ;-)

[scannon]

What a riot! Now I'm going to have to get a couple of those.

[Boxologist]

what was the starting handcap, looked like the Stig's liver was made of steel. Seems like a hysterical way to pass an afternoon. actually looked quite similar to any of the local PCA autoXs

[Greg350]

Anybody put one on the scales yet?

I know its just a matter of time till some one on here starts to make it lighter weight and adding more power.

 

Be fun to take one to the DMV when you plan to register a 7 then "park" it in the lot to see if anyone there really does have a sense of humour(which I have yet to find); after you have told them : " yes,named after the Lotus 7, it is a well know car built in the UK, but very small"........
