the deranged one Group: Advanced Members Posts: 5,132 Member No.: 34 Joined: Oct 1st 2002 Location: Vancouver, Canada | 1:24 = around 6/7 inches in length and around 2 inches tall depending on the car EDIT:..doing the math?...you just divide the real measurement by 24..not hard |

Grip Silvia S12 Group: Advanced Members Posts: 765 Member No.: 249 Joined: Feb 18th 2003 Location: San Jose, California - USA | Is there any other place besides Ebay where they are cheaper? The Fujimi models. I doubt there is any better place.  |

Rotary Power Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,030 Member No.: 166 Joined: Jan 2nd 2003 Location: Chicago | yea all 4 of them for $30? pretty sure! really small, and its not only a model car, it runs as well. plug in the batteries and motor is difficult to put together if you dont have small hands.and once u snap the batteries in theres an on and off switch on the bottom.. they all come with Watanabe wheels. and the body is all white, with a few stickers... not as cool as i thought it was.. big dissapointment |
