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.

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!

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(!)

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.
