This product was launched by Saab Expressions, Saab's official lifestyle merchandising arm, a few years ago, now. Like the radio-controlled 9-3 Viggen* model before it, this model is destined to become a collectors' item, especially now that it has been unavailable from Saab for some months.
Fortunately, Saab Expressions offered it's remaining stock to Elkparts, a few months ago, so we bought up the last of this special model.
Back when the radio controlled model was first launched, I took some video in my mate Jez's kitchen. Yes, it really is that fast. The video was processed on a Mac then transferred to Windows Media. Add in my general level of video-editing (in)competence and that is why there are a few artefacts, but you can see what it is doing.
The advantage that this one has over the Viggen model is that you can select from three different frequencies so that you can race two or three of these against your friends. That gives me an idea - we really ought to get out at lunchtime and race some of these around the car park!
Supplied as boxed product containing 1:20 scale Saab Sport Combi, remote controller and handbook, this product requires 1x 9-volt PP3 size battery and 4x 1.5-volt AA size batteries. Please note that it is not suitable for children under three years old.
If you are after one of these for your son, daughter, neice or nephew, or if you are a big kid and want one of your own then remember that stocks are extrememly limited.
Video to be uploaded soon!
