Yep....me too....but it's for my son as part of his Christmas bag......as such I've "nicked" the RC cooper he was gonna get.....it's the one from Woolies for £7.50 reduced from £15...and is about an inch long, and quick charges on the RC unit.....it even does one-eighties if you go in reverse an then swing the wheel round (so to speak!)

Here's some piccies....

These two are of the "Woolies" Special at £15, although I got this for 1/2 price. It comes with a paper "mat" with roads marked on it, together with some "obstacles". Runs on 3x AAA batteries.

The charger unit doubles as the RC unit

Finally, this is the MCS from Tesco at £8.99

Cheers,

Robert

Thanks Robert,
Just been up to Tesco & Bought one.
They do the Remote MCS in EB/W & DS/B.
Couldnt resist terrorising the cat with it, Great Fun.
Not seen many remote MCS`s, In fact this is my First.
I`ll add it to the rest of the Collection

{EDIT} Just come back from the local Woolworths where I was Unable to find any R/C MINIs.

Oh well, Its raining now, So I`ll just have to Play a bit more with the Tesco Version

Dont know why But I must have caught ModelPox this weekend.
Just Gone & bought a couple of other r/c playthings to go with the Tesco MCS.
. Stunt Buggy - It does Wheelies / Twisties / & Side Crawlies . Well it looked Good
. Helicoptor - I know it said only fly it in a Field, but I just had to have a go on the road next to the car. Luckily it only hit the wifes Ka, Unluckily -She saw it
OK, Tomorow in a field weaving in & out of Powerlines ...maybe.

Got pretty good at Flying it too, as havn`t crashed it into the MCS once
(And for Just £25 a real Bargain)

Been in the local Tesco's to me and cannot find one. I am looking for a DS/B Cooper S, ideally i would like two of them but would be happy with one. If somebody sees them could you please get them for me and i will send money straight away and obviously cover postage etc. Or even just let me know where i can get hold of them.

i would be so grateful for any help.

Regards

Claire
(p.m me if you can help)!!!!
