I know I've posted these RC cars before but I didn't know you can get an F1 in this size. The Kyosho Mini-Z racers are real RC cars with full suspensions, differentials and the works. Loads of fun and you can play in the house or on a 4X8 sheet of plywood for that matter. With a 1ft turning radius and power to boot they are a real blast to drive.
I have probably 100' of Tyco slot car track that I occasionally break out for some racing with my wife. Lately, though, with a 1YO crawling/walking around its hard to image setting up that track and keeping all in one piece for more than a few minutes.
These cars are much more maneuverable (no slot, duh) and great fun to race. I just bought my wife the Blue Viper so we can race each other. I picked up an F1 body for show. My Impreza body is pretty beat from rollovers on the driveway.
Check it out.

p.s. No I don't own stock in Kyosho, I just love toys.
