Hey, I do not post that often but am a serial lurker, not much to add since my 5.0 is in storage. I think you guys might enjoy this though. I went with my wife (she got a Challenger, easy to she why I married her!!!!) to the Ridemakerz store here in Glendale, Az. I guess there are only like 12 of them in the country, anywho it was a freaking blast. (for those of you who have never heard of it, think build a bear with muscle cars). Here is the one I made, Rat Fink style and it's R/C and moves pretty good. They also light up and make noise, I got siren noises for mine, and there are a million parts, they had a twin turbo motor I almost got, pretty cool stuff.
They are like 25 for the basic car, 25 to make it a R/C plus extras, which run from 3 to 10 bucks i got the wing, wheelie bar and motor as i kit for around twelve. I think for both of us with a ton of extras, including two rechargeable batteries and tax it was 190.
Haha, my girlfriend got me a gift certificate there for my b-day, now I have the same black Mustang, only mine is much more tame. I like how the headlights and stuff light up.
did you get the r/c version, if you did you gotta get the battery pack makes a huge difference over batteries. Way more fun than i thought, when i went in i was going to make it more stockish to match my 07' but they just looked like a rat fink car, and i love all that stuff. So i got the pro street kit and i really liked how it turned out.
Nah, mine isn't RC. I already have too many broken and/or torn apart RC cars sitting around to add another one to the stable, haha. My Ridemakerz just sits on display on a shelf. I have the BBS-looking wheels on it and the OHC multi-throttle body engine. I thought the engine actually kind of looked like a Ford mod motor, that's why I went with it.
