     I guess that truly answers the original question, though the Manas drive
unit is a lot cheaper to get right now, if you live near a TRU that's doing the
blow-out sales at least ($30 for two)

     Now the question is, does your RCX Hailfire have a wire connecting it to
your computer, or can you operate it untethered?  If not, that would be another
advantage of using the Manas drive units, since they're both radio controlled.
