Nope, that's just what it scanned...I just got done playing with the Camaro outside, it was frickin' awesome! I cut a few donuts, busted some 180's, fish tailed, ...and then about 10 minutes later I was done because the battery was dying.

It takes 4.5 hours to charge and it's drained in 15 minutes...good thing I don't plan on using it that often. It was fun while it lasted though

That's pretty normal for all RC cars though. That's why I was never that interested in them as a kid.

Yeah, I knew what I was getting myself into...(although I would've thought that batteries would've improved in the 10+ years since I last bought an RC car)

The Camaro R/C car can do some serious burnouts, and donuts...makes me that much more excited for when I can do that behind the wheel instead of through the r/c control

Well I just got an email saying they are backordered and if they can't fulfill my order within 10 days then they automatically cancel my order.

I was looking forward to getting this too. Kinda sucks since they said it was in stock when I ordered it and even for a while after I ordered it.

What color did you order? I ordered the silver and I got a tracking number this morning. It should be here tomorrow according to Fedex

Guys, check your local stores for these as well. I just heard (read) that they have dropped in-store pricing to $34 as well. My local store has at least 20 on the shelves. I could possibly be willing to acquire some for people, but money would have to be in hand. Not sure what shipping would run.

Good luck.

I ordered the red one, maybe I will have to check in store to see if they have any.

I ordered Silver also. Same thing, says it'll be here tomorrow. Good, then I can return that $64 one I'd gotten in store.

I think red is the only one selling out. I will admit, that is a GREAT color red. If the real 5th Gen doesn't come out in a similar shade I'll be disappointed.

No tomato red like the 4th Gen's had. Yuck.

I ordered red on the site when it was supposedly in stock, then got the e-mail saying it was backordered. Went to the local store and they had no silver, but about 10 red ones and they were $35.

I was back at wal-mart again today, and since I bought it yesterday they'd raised the price back to $65 so I guess they had made a mistake yesterday.

While I was in line buying it, the guy behind me saw the Camaro asked me where they were and went and bought one. He said he's been waiting since the concept debuted and can't wait to purchase his 1:1 scale version

They had 7, I picked up two. A red one and a silver one.
I hate Walmart but that was too good to pass up, besides them being the only real B+M place that has it.

Oh, $35 each as well.

My local wal-mart had the price lowered to $35 yesterday, but they were all sold out.
