New Bright 1:18 RC Solar Car
Item no. 2066
Product name: New Bright 1:18 RC Solar Car
Description
I was wondering how long it would take the RC world to catch up with the "green" movement and the general push for more fuel-efficient and environmental friendly real cars. The New Bright ecomobile solar car claims to "run on sun" and there are no batteries you need to supply whatsoever, because most of the roof is occupied by a solar panel. However, if you read the package carefully, you'll notice that it's not really a solar-powered car, meaning it won't go as long as the sun is out. It's solar-charged. There's a regular rechargeable battery in the car, the solar panel charges the battery, and the battery powers the car.
Preparing to Drive
A table of numbers on the box basically says that for 5 minutes of driving time, you need to leave the ecomobile sitting in the sun for 1 hour. Charge for 2 hours and you can go for 10 minutes, etc., up to "20+" minutes. What's really innovative is that the controller is charged by the car! You just plug it into a jack on the back bumper like this.
I really like this idea! No batteries required ever, for anything!
