My parents said I had a whopping 35 bucks to spend for Christmas. This was my choice. Until I tore it apart to see how it worked. Still can't believe there is only one motor to do all the movements. Got get to eBay and by another one.
funny thing is we have a stockpile of these in my mechanisms class, we had to take them apart find out how they work, count the gear teeth and reassemble them correctly and right now writing my report lol
Still have mine. Wicked cool toy from back when they still made such awesome toys, and when Radio SHack was more than just a store for mobile phones and over-prices batteries.
Did you buy yours later since you still have the box and acessories?
I had this. It was loud as hell. And I found out by mistake that putting the batteries in wrong reversed the controls -- something I had never seen before in any electronic gadget.
What's its power level? It's over niiiiiiiiiine...

@izzynobre That is because there was no electronics in it. Just motors directly connected to batteries via the control switches.

The beauty of it, is that it's a single motor running, and the controls are purely mechanical gears. It's a small, beautiful feat of engineering.
