Takara Tomy GX buggy?

[hiitzmike]

hey Guys and Gals.
i looked on here and found that nobody else had posted this so I will.
it's a new 1:32 scale 2wd buggy with a lexan body made by Takara Tomy, renown for making toys.

i like the blue one
its says speeds of 25kph converted is 15mph which to be honest isnt all that bad. the body is lexan and can be removed (thats got to be a good sign) on the link above there's a video (and a few one's in Japanese to choose from at the end) judging by the controller and the way he turns the steering wheel and the click when it reaches full travel it suggests that the steering is not proportional
but the throttle trigger has lots of movement which could mean that is

a happy man holding his GX buggy, notice the childish controller design though

the radical box design with is crazy font style (all in Japanese)

in this pic it shows the car controller and that box that follows the same design scheme, that box is the charger that takes 4xAA yes i said 4 and 2xAAA for the remote, so you need a whole array of batteries. the car comes with its own rechargeable battery pack built in. the car is 2.4GHz so its not infra-red and you can run up to 10 cars at once. there's a clear lexan loop they call a "roll wing" which you can attach to the buggy so when you roll over it should roll back due to it being top heavy. like most other Takara Tomy rc's you have to build it, it says up to 10 minuets (probably less than that) the car weights 42g and has what looks to be foam tyres ( made for carpet and ash-felt but will wear down quickly on ash-felt ), and Takara Tomy I know for making toys so don't expect much. dont think its a losi micro killer because its most likely won't be, but it will be fun i hope. il be asking for one for Christmas so I might do a full review and things like that. i hope this helped any body
Thanks , Mike

I really hope I'm not bringing back an old thread and all the mods will shout at me but here goes :L
This buggy has been re branded as an Air Hogs Product called "Hyperactives" just thought you'd all like to know...
Cheers

It seems to me a few Takara Tomy products are relabeled by Spin Master. Like Takara Tomy's Micro Buggy R/C's were brought over to American and relabeled as Terrain Titans. It'd be nice to see them bring over some of the cars they have in their Drift Package Light R/C cars...

Don't count on it air hogs would never use an Asian made car as the body they would have like a drifting corvette and not a evo or a skyline or even an rx7
