More expensive, too. Makes me want to buy Supersonic even more! (Which I'm
buying as soon as it goes on sale)


In Lego's defense, I will offer my observations.  The 8369 is a 7.2 volt RC
car meant for use outdoors.  It is Lego's way of competing with the flooded
RC car market for the summer.  It comes with a 7.2v NiCad battery and
charger and will probably have a more powerful motor and electronics than
its predecessors.

The 8366  is more like the last version of this poular RC lego racer.  It
uses 6 AA batteries (not included).

I have had a lot fun with earlier version of this style RC car from Lego,
but my money's going on the 8369 immediately!  Thanks for letting me know
it's finally available!
