Cheap radar
 
Hey I was just wondering if any one has ever tried this item.
It is a great price. I am not sure on accuracy.
For the price it is hard to beat. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4661205

Nice find Sherlock!

what speed is it capable of? Can't find any particular info on it..

A bargain IMO

Serum 12.07.2006 02:04 PM

Okay, found it.. till 100Mph.. fast enough for an MT..

coolhandcountry 12.07.2006 02:09 PM

It is good to 100 mph. Only takes 4 aaa batts. It almost seems to good
for money. Even if it is a few mph off. That would still get in the ball park.

I've got a bushnell, which is large compared to this one.

There's been a couple threads over at the Traxxas forums and people say it doesn't work right for any appreciable distance. Good for Hot Wheels cars very close to the gun, but that's it. It even had trouble getting a reading off a 1:1 car. Probably why it's so cheap...

Well Leroy, time to make your HV project 1:3 scale to use this speedgun..

I can measure the speed of a running ant with mine..

Rene, Do you do this often? LOL!

How about the speed of flying insects? Hmmm? :005:

Serum 12.07.2006 03:06 PM

I usually dress up like an ant-eater; one peaked out to 13 mph.. (wind in it's back, i must admit..)

Procharged5.0 12.07.2006 03:22 PM

That would be quite the site. :005:

Just don't share that with too many people...OK?

Serum 12.07.2006 03:29 PM

No, i won't where that socks i showed earlier.. Promised..

Procharged5.0 12.07.2006 03:31 PM

Thank GOD! LOL!

BrianG 12.07.2006 05:25 PM

Wow, it's amazing how quickly these threads fall apart! :005:

Procharged5.0 12.07.2006 05:33 PM

I guess that was my fault huh...........oh well, I couldn't resist! :005:

Serum 12.07.2006 05:33 PM

Yeah, I wonder how it gets diverted this fast..
