Default Deals so good I bought 5 Corvettes

Was at target today and they were closing out their remote contol cars.

The black and blue ZR1's were 9.99 (originally 39.99)
The yellow Z06 was 14.99 (originally 59.99)

All of the cars came with rechargable Ni-Cd batteries. The yellow car is so big that if you strapped two to your shoes you could drive them to the mailbox.

The red Zo6 is a hotwheels I picked up at KB toys last Saturday for under $6.00.

I have one of the big yellow C6Rs.

The ferrets love it. The cats, not so much

My local target had alot of the corvettes on the shelf. I noticed on the box that the black and blue corvettes operate on different frequencies so you can race them against each other.

Just be careful in the cold. The original stock tires installed on RC cars get crap traction when cold and on cold pavement, especially when new.
