Radio controlled C5.
In the past I have noticed threads regarding this topic. RC C5 cars.
Today I was in Radio Shack and found just that. Its called XMODS and they have a few different models. I had the clerk look and he found a C5. Its silver , but they didnt have any other colors at this location.
I believe its 1/28th scale and comes with a remote control. It takes a little assembly(about 15 minutes) and 4 AAA and 1 9volt. Of which they sell these of course. There are also an entire rack of add ons , such as engines and wheels, etc. The car costs $49.99 . Its a nice item and might actually keep me away from this computer for a few minutes a day.
No Pics as of yet.

Radio Shack has had several C5 radio controlled cars recently. They seem to be a blast to play with.

Heads up!!
Radio Shack is doing something called "friends and family sale" right now. I go to my local radio shack here in town and the salesman hooked me up with 30% off of anything that says "Radio Shack" on it.
I bet your salesman will hook you up if you ask, just a thought.
