Normally this wouldn't be a superb deal, as these tiny cars can be gotten for similar elsewhere.
What makes this a good deal - the Free pack of AA batteries (likely this one - https://www.jaycar.com.au/eclipse-alkaline-aa-batteries-pk-1…? ) which is $9.99 by itself.
So, cheapish stocking filler for the kids, officeplace or loved one,
Plus some mediocre double A's for extra extended pleasure time.
All for the low low price of ten bux via click and collect.
if you need 2, buy in 2 separate order.
I guess that gets you two sets of batteries. FWIW I was able to order 2 cars in one order, 1 set of batts though.
Features:
• Speed: Up to 4km/h
• Playtime: Up to 7 minutes
• Charge time: 5 minutes (from Controller)
Wow up to 7 minutes playtime, better look for a deal on Eneloops as well.
If it's the same as one I've previously seen. I'm pretty sure the cars have an inbuilt battery that gets charged when you attach it to the controller. That's what lasts 7 minutes. You can get multiple charges out of the 2xAAs that are in the controller.
Though, take that with a grain of salt, as we got given a second hand one that was missing the antenna, so never actually got to use it…
4km/h!? Is this a car for ants?!
Maybe snails
1:1 equivalent is 232kmph.
Thank God that doesn't scale to 88 miles per hour/1.21 gigawatts.
The in built battery is very small
Type
Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
Voltage
1.2V
Capacity
80mAh
That RC car seems like something that will end in the bin after 1 day.
yeah i shouldn't buy, i already spoil my toddlers with enough toys so giving them another one will just see it being lost eventually lol
I had one similar. It has rubber o-rings on the wheels but can get dislodged easily. It'll end up going wonky unless you remove the others but then it's slow as.
Does it use that many batteries?
I still have my Veeam freebie version of this somewhere.

Jaycar: hire a competent web security team. Geoff from Accounting doesn't cut it.

Research by Finder shows the average Aussie spends around $2278 a year on impulse buys, everything from chocolate at the checkout to beauty products.

Thanks for saving my $9.95 and a trip to jaycar.
you're welcome squirtle
Only $2278?
Gotta pump those numbers up
take the lead and raise the average saitama
Imagine paying $10 to have a get into the car, drive a shop to pickup trash that you now need to store somewhere in your house (or bin).
sounds like every single kids toy out there
Don't let these self-serving rags guilt you from the occasional feel good purchase, especially if they are a good deal/value.
They try to trick you into thinking your $2000 a year is the reason why you can no longer expect to achieve life's basic aspirations and not focus on the nation's broken financial and political systems that have destroyed the social compact for current and future generations.
so did you buy?
Are they going to honour this or going to be like the raspberry pis?
going to be like the raspberry pis?
You should see a Doctor about that….
Just picked one up from a click and collect order, no trouble.
still waiting for ready for pickup email.
Did you get that email or just rocked up to the store?
When I ordered it said it would be ready in an hour, I just rocked up though and it was ready!
still having PTSD from raspberry pi deal
me 2
Spend the extra 2 dollars and get the varta 30 pack from bunnings, had these rc cars before, absolute landfill, not worth packaging..
lol

How’d you get the free batteries? Shows $09.95 at checkout still
I bought one but it doesn't say it includes batteries?
These are awful. Only buy for the batteries
I've had one of these. They suck.
Marked as expired now as they've removed the 12 free batteries deal
A somewhat similar novelty RC car, more like a Choro-Q, comes in the form of the "soccer ball" style.

That's my exact model. I used a little drink straw for the antenna. Cat used to love this thing!
EDIT poor guy got a dud that doesn't steer. The mechanism is a delicate one, and a potential easy fix though.
man choro-q's were soo good
WERE?!
I know, they're quite exxy now.
Good deal
