But I'll be honest, if you've told everyone by the time I get home, I'll tell the truth if I knew or not.

Lets just say its a very famous RC car, It revolutionized a aspect of r/c cars that still happens today. most experienced users are not a huge fan of this aspect

It even started a very common (in todays standards) 3 letter acronym.

Heh, I didn't know what it was, but I was able to find out by looking at your post revisions (mod powers for the epic win!). And I hate to say it (but I'm gonna every time I get an opportunity, lol) that -that brand-'s first RC was a clone of a Taiwanese toy grade. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Why does the iPhone have an app that can tell you where cops are hiding now with radar guns to make the speeds more easily achievable?

Actually, there are several speed trap apps!  Here's just one:

It's an insult to Schumacher that Traxxas used the same name as the CAT (Competition All Terrain).
