Gift guide: Lincoln Navigator RC truck blasts MP3s
posted Dec 23rd 2005 12:01AM
For today's Engadget Holiday Gift Guide suggestion, we'd like to call your attention to the fact that,
frankly, kids seem to be a little too tame these days. Which is why we are endorsing the MP3-equipped Lincoln Navigator
RC truck as a surefire way to cause a little harmless havoc in any neighborhood. As if rolling down the block blasting 2
Live Crew weren’t enough, the 1:6 scale Navigator is also capable of emitting such annoying sounds as engine
revving, screeching brakes, horn, and alarm. The “lean” 30MB capacity means you’ll quickly tire of
the Lincoln’s seven-song rotation unless frequent playlist changes are made, but it’s more likely that some
local toughs will kick and/or beat the crap out of this thing before it’s had much time on the road anyway. You
gotta learn these kids young the ways of life, son. If we were kids this holiday season, this would be the RC car we'd
be pining for.
i was eyeing this at toy r us just 3 hours ago, but they are out of stock
Can I turn the music off and well, you know, drive the truck longer? I can't imagine an mp3 player gives this thing longer battery life...
All that, and it's got spinners!!!
What a disgusting symbol of American overconsumtion.
whoa i can see engadget's pictures now. great.
I wonder how many people will try and up the memory on that thing. Other than me, that is....
It'd be a better idea just to buy an el' cheapo 1/6 scale RC car that a lot of stores are selling anyway and whack literally any mp3 player in it. Hmm... about those annoying sounds...
Finally my gangsta rapper action figures can ride in style! I can't wait to have hack some new sound fx into it...you know, like the sound of a Mac 10 spraying someone's brick rowhouse in West Baltimore.
Actually, Target has/had a RC 1:6 scale Chrysler 300M with to-scale 22's and a hook-up in the truck for an MP3 player (in both black and pearl white)......
Get rid of spam from comment 1. You should prevent people from posting their ebay ads.
i dont want spinners i want floaters
theyre just like floater but they dont move until you stop
Sweet. Can we do drive-bys in this? They should sell a package that includes a cop car so you could do the obligatory high-speed chases...
