Guys, Finally the Mazdaspeed version is here in the USA. Have fun with the pics.

 

before i realized it was a baby version of our car...i was about to get VERY jealous and then pout...lol, but that looks awsome.

 

hey I have the blue version of your car...

 

i first bought mine in january at the L.A. autoshow...if you play with it on a marble floor you can drift it.

 

I have the red one as well. I just keep it at the house on display next to my bell helmet. It's a bummer that these cars aren't too fast and they can't be upgraded...ie engine.

 

Honey I shrunk the car!!! How's the leg room?

- Irish

 

can't be upgraded, there don't ever say can't (I'm sure I could shove a methane gas based micro engine in there)

 

Where do I get one???

 

I bought mine at Toys R Us for $49.00 (Red)

 

Walmart, and anything electrical is upgradeable

 

Walmart?

Wow, when I got one of my 3rd gen 7, you couldn't find them anywhere except Ebay, and they were going for close to $200.00!

 

i got the red one too. my came scrwd up. but eh i dont play w/ it so its alllll good

 

Mazda got Blang!!!

 

How is the acceleration in that thing?

That looks fun

 

Acceleration is good. Good range for the transmitter. I bought also the replica(Smaller and heavier)and is Titanium Grey. You can see 2 tanks of nitrous and an excellent stereo system. I also bought the Miniature(Hotwheel)Version. They come in different colors.
You think I like the RX8?, I love them.

 

are you guys sure walmart in the states sell's them ?
there website sucks i cant find anything under search.and walmart is far from me.so its not like i can stop in.i tried calling them they are clueless.

 

I bought mine at Toys R' Us.

 

If you want to put a "turbo" into your electric RC racer, place a 9v battery inline. For ease of changing, buy a connector at radio shack and solder that in place. Then you can put a new 9v in easier. One thing tho, this may reduce the life life of the motors.

We did this to a couple of cheap r/c cars on deployment, had them drag racing up and down the passageway in the barracks. The 9v about doubled their speed and halfed the battery life. Note to self, make sure you duct tape the battery onto the car, if you crash/suddenly change direction, the 9v may go flying and break the connection.

 

I saw a 3rd gen at walmart this weekend .... same price as the 8

 

Holy bajesus... That's a lot of Bling.

 

I can only assume that it wasn't a "kyosho" brand. Those go for quite a bit of $!

 

I'm not sure rob .... i didn't check

 

No worries, I am pretty sure that the Kyosho models are no longer made. It's kind of cool to hear that some other company is making 3rd gen models though!

 

My next toy (besides in car hacked xbox) is:




Comes out in September (2k4)

 

Too funny!
