Sadly, the radio controlled car is a single huge SPUD, as far as
single-purpose goes it's the mother of all SPUDs if you ask me! What makes
it really suck is that there isn't a way to change the operating • frequency,
which means that you can't use more than one in the same area, they • conflict
with each other so you can't have races and stuff! D'ohhh!

This seems strange. On the catalogue ad, the vehicle was surrounded by
several double-height 2*4's, each with a different no. on it (10, 30, 50).
This suggested to me that they were frequency crystals (with the number in
kHz), which could be swapped in and out, giving the opportunity for races.

It's a shame the components don't separate out. I was eager to grab one,
hook it up to six technic motors, and make a really cool all-terrain
vehicle. Nuts.

Later,
David Drew.
