1:18 scale ? I have ~ 40 UT Porsches, but I don't recognize this one. What brand is it?

It's a 1:12th radio controlled. The maker is Excalibur Electronics.

Picked it up at a local TJMaxx of all places. They also had a red one, but not anymore. I believe that they might have two more left at this store. The price was $29.99 before tax.

Shipping might be a bit of pain, as the box is large, but if someone _really_ wants one, I can pick them up if the store still has them. Also check your own TJMaxx, but the other one that's nearby didn't have any.

Target sold this in red about a year ago in actual team graphics.

I just saw a similar GT2 in plain black at Filene's Basement here in downtown Chicago (Mich. Ave)last weekend. Typical $30 or so. Still had several left.

RC huh? Had me fooled. Didn't see any antenna. Thought it was display only.
Have you used it yet? Is it fast (relatively speaking) ?

Saw one of these a few months ago at my local Pep Boys.

I have the red one that was one sale at Target a couple years ago. Fun little toy.

There is an antenna. Thate's also this thing called Photoshop
I have not run it yet, don't have enough batteries. But I don't want to run it outdoors, so I might never know how fast it is.

Chris, let me know, I can pick it up if they still have them. We'll need to figure out shipping.

I love Google! Do a search and you will find many for sale. Here's one of the cheaper sources (many are $49):

OT: You model guys happen to know where I can find a diecast 993tt outside of ebay. I have been looking for a year now and not lucky enough to find one in black.
