Ran across this when I was looking at the RC4WD Subzero. It’s a very realistic, silver edition 1/10 Fracture V8 Engine with built-in Transfer Case into which you can insert a 540 motor.

Tired of lugging around big, bulky transmitters? Motormint has a couple of 1:32 scale diecast remote control cars (about 7 inches long) with wrist watch infrared control. When you aren’t playing with your 1996 Dodge Viper or 2000 Ford Shelby Coupe use the watch as a regular wrist watch with alarm. It’s also a stop watch. The cars are cool too with realistic detailing including working horn, headlights, and brake lights, doors that open, and a burglar alarm system.
