Really can't find a scenario where an RC car like this would come in handy, I'll be sticking with the hardened edition if anything
What do you mean come in handy? It's an RC car, it's used for fun it has no other purpose.
The fun-factor for RC cars wore off on me a long time ago - unless it's a really fast one I don't see a need to play with it
But like you can totally pretend you're a spy with it! (until the car gets 20 feet away and stops receiving commands from the control and you need to run closer to it to do anything, blowing your cover)
How effective is an RC car as a "spy device" anyway, wouldn't any normal person notice a car driving around near them, let alone hear it?
