HYPER MINIS

Check out my new Micro Hotshot. It's from a lineup called Micro Terrain Titans. They also have a Fox, Avante, Hornet, and Boomerang. I really wanted the Fox, but Toys R Us was out of them.

So $10, and it performs much like a MicroSizer from a few years back, but it looks pretty cool. It can make it across my keyboard and the motor can run at two speeds. A cool little novelty...

They carry those at Toys R Us? I guess I'm gonna have to make a trip there and see what our local store has in stock.

Yeah I've checked them out on ebay, but I don't think I've ever seen them for $10.

I'm just surprised that Tamiya licensed these

That's right. Now that you say that I remember thinking that if I could score one from a US seller I probably would, but never did find any.

I am too. They're def cool though. If our store has a Fox I'll be all over it.

Very cool, gonna have to check on an Avante for me. The remote makes it look like a happy meal toy though.

The remote is color coded with the car, so the avante has a blue/grey scheme I believe

The Avante and Hotshot are both ones I'd like to have as well. I didn't realize they actually had a working suspension. That is way cool.

Really? I don't think I ever saw that. Would have def been cool to have.

Oh I thought you meant an RC one. Yeah their stomper like ones were pretty cool. I had a few of those. They made cool display models.

Anybody head out to their local TRU yet?

I haven't yet, but I'm going to try and stop in there tomorrow and see what they have.

On y list of thing to do this weekend.In between Office Max and Louwes,lol. I see some table top races going on here if I find a few.Nice find.l8r,w.

be all good if u could get parts like u can for the micro t

i think i will be heading to mine tonight, i think they are still in business....

Isn't that just another link to the Avante, Savage? or am I missing something?

By the way, I found that these are available at some Targets as well.

Check out what this guy did with one.

Cool, but I can see that reducing the speed further with the added weight.

I have a couple of them but i dont know their old school name. I have the hot shot, a blue one and a white one.I also have a micro called a Q-Steer which i bought on e-bay. Some of the q-steers come with an extra racing pinion and anorange tipped racing motor, The problem i ran into in the past with the terrain titans is that the steering deteriorates and i have not been able to figure how to fix it. These things are a blast though. I boufgt one to easter dinner at my italian in-laws house where they have about 20-39 people for a meal. The table is extended and aanother table is added to make it shaped like a big L. After the first course when the ladies cleared the table i broke out my buggy and begab running it on the table between wine glasses and such. My brother-in laws thought it was so cool. I think they went and bought one after that. You should have seen their faces when they saw this little red buggy scooting around on the dinner table. I do know that the steering is magnetic but does anyone know how to reapir when it breaks. I would love to know cause these are really fun little things.
