£10 Remote Control MINI

I got one of the Nikko ones from Maplin a while back, it was buy one get one free.

Not the same as that though.... anyone ordering one?

I ordered one just after I saw that message. Printed out the page, went up to the Science department of my college, spoke to the head of science, gave him the sheet & asked him to order it for me. (Goes on the end of term bill... without vat (shhhhh))

I also got the buy one get one free MINI's, but like you say they seem different. Me thinks a trip to Maplin is on the cards for tomorrow!!

Lots and lots of fun

The only downside is i've drained the batteries twice now doing handbrake turns and 180's etc (everything I don't do in my real MINI)

Yeah right...

I got mine last thursday, only had a play with it for about half an hour because it was a belated birthday present to my friend, who's dying for a mini.

Funny thing was, mine came with a left pull! Although the fix was a quick adjustment of a white lever thing under the front, unlike the months of waiting for a fix for its bigger brothers!!!

Oh yeah, and its a monster with batteries. Cost me £6 to get the batteries, takes 6 AAs inside and one 9 Volt on the remote. As it was a present, couldn't use my rechargables.

supply downunder

How can I get hold of one of these models in Sydney??

Not sure...you could always try and buy one of Maplin's Site and see how much it would cost to deliver it!

I have just ordered mine. Can't wait to get it

Just ordered mine !! I have got 2 of the Nikko ones, but find they don't like carpets much

Also I can't find anywhere that sells the upgrade pack for the faster motor

The girlfriend find's it childish, but came home one day to find a driving course set up for us to race round (Red/White won every time !!! )

On the look out for a Tamiya style build your own, if one come's onto the market !!!
