Some may have seen my post about a week or so ago with a vid of a R/C bike, this is not the same variety (the one in the vid was £380!! :shock: ) I saw this one on eBay and ended up buying one :oops:
I actually bought a new one not this one (Didn't care about the signature and you can buy them new for about that), but the auction does have some good pics so you get an idea! :)

There is something very fishy about that seller, look at his other items
Now that's kewl. :D
I've got a remote control subaru impreza that I bought for the ex (obviously before he became the ex). He left it here so now it's MINE!!! :lol: What I REALLY want is one of those remote control blimp things you used to be able to get on Boystuff.co.uk. They looked really kewl.

I get their catalogue through every month, and they have a remote control bike. £80.
Oh and the one in the link is the one they sell. They also do a Ducati and Kawasaki rep.

Ping - I got all sorts of R/C stuff that I never use ... its so cheap these days its silly ... I bough an RC truck the other month off the market as it was only a tenner :lol: And an RC boat for £15 ... they came with batteries and everything!! :)
Ohhh I bought a little RC submarine once too ... but ended up giving that to my nephew for Christmas!! After testing it first obviously!! ;) :D

I got a ducati R/C bike, the loris capirossi one :D I've only used it once though, and it kept crashing into the dead laves in the park. I think it was one assembled by Gibernau :lol:

Taking video will be difficult as I don't have a normal video camera :?

I got a Robo Sapien for my Christmas :) It's great... Well, OK, it's quite rubbish really but it was great for a wee while. He holds my TV remotes now.

Yeah he's five so I imagine that the novelty will have worn off by boxing day. Then we can get down to the real business of training it to get my beer from the fridge :D

Used my bike (i.e. a nikko one) for the first time today ... have to say very disappointed ... :cry:
It had a turning circle even my gran could better :roll: It wasn't very fast, and it went out of range really quickly!!! Nothing like the cool Thunder Tiger one in the vid looked to be.
It does look pretty mind and will however make for a really cool ornament :)
To be fair even if it was really cool to use, I would probably never really use it anyway ... I am just a sucker for stuff like this!! :lol:

Update ... update .... seems initial analysis/search didn't bring out the whole story ... you can get a 'Glow' (Nitro) variant of the T-tiger bike ... and at a more reasonable price too ...
