$158 for the Initial D one...and $148 for a regular!

the car doesnt look very good in quality form the pictures....but damn it better be at $158

i thought it was just some small little cheap r/c car....

is it fast mizike? is it like the R/C cars here? that require those long battery packs that have 6 individual batteries wrapped in one? or is it gas powered?

i kinda want one now that i know its not some ceap little toy, or IS it? im confused....on ebay they ave ones that look nice, but this one looks kinda cheap...
Yes, it's fast and awesome quitly and detail. I was able to make it do donuts and almost peelout sideways . It requires 2 AA batteries....you need the heavy duty type though cause I had ones that were for just calulators and flashlights and it died in about 10 mins. It's too much fun. I bought a few pump from this guy locally and he had the remote controll car for sale for $40.00.....I didn't have the money at the time.

Then my buddy at work got it for me as my present for the "secret santa" game the office was having. I was supprised and happy.

I just looked at the instruction sheet and the website is
www.taiyo.toy.co.jp

For some reason it's not working....keep trying though.

I forgot to take pics of the Palm Runners. That's the best one in my opinion, but I don't open the boxes (collection only) so I'm not sure about how the model car performs.

I just got that the other week (kyosho palm runner). I'll post pics when I get home...I got the white one, nice detail, comes w headlights in the up/down position to emulate the way the car looks in the DVD's running through the mountain pass at night, cool stuff!! It's really only fun if you have a cat to chase around w/ it and torture The little display case is a nice touch too!! I like that AE86 one they have as well...I'd actually like to pick one of those hatch backs up one day as a project car, they are cheap and fun!! There is a white one and a red one locally both w/ the TRD kits w/lots of cool mods that autoX around here all the time. Very cool looking cars and did I mention cheap?!?!?!

Why would you have model kits and not assemble them?
