FR-S Friction Drive at CVS Pharmacy $5.99
 

MomHawk needed to make a spur of the minute stop at a local CVS Pharmacy today to buy a birthday card. While she was doing that, I found this!

Friction drive (pull back and release). It unfortunately does not drift and seems to have its own torque dip off the line.

Front view sitting on top of a CD "turntable" for reference.


Pretty nice metal model for $5.99. Fog lights, red tails and chrome full-size tips as standard equipment! Sadly, they only had one.

Some nice simple mods. Does it have crickets?

Doesn't seem to, but I can't be sure the rubber snakes in the next bin didn't eat them all.

I got the cheap remote one from walmart and when it runs it clicks like mad just like the real thing. Grandsons thought I had lost my mind was laughing so hard when they started running it.

Actually, now that you mention it, I tried again and the friction drive does click when its moving!

My son has a whole bunch of these cars from CVS. I have yet to find a FRS though.

I got a black one... and they had red and white ones when I was there. Found out that CVS had 'em from this thread:

Plasti dip the wheels bro

Looks like I'm going to CVS tomorrow.

Oh yes they do.

My wife got me this for Valentine's Day. We finally got a real one a few weeks ago when I saw a 2015 on sale(!)

Why would they not get the wheels right?

it would be pretty cool to get one of those and stick it to the corner of your dash, with matching color of your car. I remember being younger and saw someone do that with a beetle and thought it was cool.

Oh great now I have to go to the States!
