What do the US military, assorted footballers and visiting dignitaries all have in common? They all like to relax in the confines of a hummer. Now hummers originally started life as bullet proof military people carriers but soon the glitterati got their grubby mitts on them and finally, so did the man in the street thanks to the myriad opportunities to hire a stretch hummer for the evening.

Owning a hummer yourself, of course, costs an absolute packet. Unless you're prepared to scale your aspirations down a little and go for something that's a little more economical to run.

That something could well be this 1:6 R/C hummer that looks just like the real thing but costs a fraction of the bank balance-bothering premium the yanks charge for a full-size one. The little yellow (or red) hummer comes fully loaded with a powerful electric motor, complete with engine starting, acceleration and tick-over.

If you've got a 1:6 scale friend, you could even let him drive it, since the front and rear doors all open. Why he could have a little 1:6 scale cocktail party in one. Right then, we're off to round up some 1:6 scale partygoers.
