bought a radio control car this weekend
couldn't help myself

thing is the size of a Matchbox car, forward/back left/right controls
(not proportional though)

things got a capacitor or something in it and you charge it from the
transmitter unit. lasts about 5 minutes, 1 minute to recharge

the motor is the smallest I've ever seen, halfinch long, 1/4"
diameter. I think the steerring is magnetic but I'll open it to see
tonight.

and dangit, it's fun to drive too.
and the cats hate it (-:

swarf, steam and wind

I bought one of that genre already fitted with a mouse shell (flocked,
not furred), hoping to get a rise out of the family cat.

The damn cat couldn't care less about it. (That's cats, folks.).

We ended up giving it to one of our young patients as a reward. He was
thrilled.
