That's a horrible remake... almost none of the lines were recreated properly..

It's about the same quality as any of the other micro RC racers out there, kind of hard when all the proportions of the cars are fixed around the chassis. I have a Celica model that is the same proportions as my brother's SUV one. They just throw on some of the key aspects (like the hood shape) and call it the RX-8. Still, if I can find one, I'd probably buy it.. :-)

Got this off ebay. Thought it was a little more interesting.

Not the way I want to own an 8 early.;)

Give me my full scale one now!


P.S. Do you get the same performance, to scale, as with the real car.:D

Looks like you ended up getting one, Hank.

I can't wait to get mine. I had a friend that works at Radio Shack get one to me for a discount. I had 3 "Bit Char-g's" but I lost interest in them and sold them. This one looks like fun though!

I got TWO, one in each frequency, from Radio Shack a week ago. Then started adding Mazdaspeed options ;)
1. New engine kit, two faster and one slower than stock
2. Chrome body kit
3. "MORE TORQUE" gears and axles kit

Still have to get the tires upgraded. They were sold out.:(

Too bad the ZipZap packaging didn't add a second "zoom" :D

I bought one a while back...and have a cute video of my RX-8 ZipZap vs a mini-RC FD! :D

I got the chrome body, engine/gear upgrade kit, and the rally course kit. :D

got mine this weekend, got a an a white FD RX7 and a mustang. Ditch the mustang body for the chome RX8. one thing I noticed is that the newer remote control, the one with the wheel to turn is much better than the old one. the turn is much precise.
Had a lot of fun with my daughter racing the RX7 and RX8 on our hardwood floor.
I might bring them to the office, that will be a nice excuse to take my eye away from the computer monitor.
pretty good value for the price.
I heard that Radioshack is going to have some kind of mega sales after thanks giving.
