Crazy how you found one the same color as my first one lmao ans it works pretty good so far too besides the slipped gear, hopefully you can find the Custom '04 Honda Acura Integra RSX Tuner Coupe eventually Also I see people tryna compare it to the Mercedes C Class Hatch and thats not 100% the base trait of the vehicle at all granted both are Hatchbacks and the side windows look similar but thats about it for similarities between them. It's definitely not 100% the C Class at all whatsoever because otherwise it would've had more traits from the C Class such as headlights and taillights and being shaped like it more or y'know THE ENTIRE BODY Plus It has traits of other vehicles as well (such as the '04 Honda Fit for the headlights, '04 Buick Rendezvous *for the taillights*, '04 Toyota Prius *overall body shape* and the '02 Saturn L - Series *for the taillight strip*) so therefore it has no exact vehicle make which is why we all call it '04 Tuner-Hatchback (because it's a custom 2000's Hatchback)
Damn nice, can’t believe a 2nd collector has one, and you got It at goodwill, lucky af find, I think these are so damn cool, minus the issues these have 🔋 🔥 💥, I’d love to have one of these, I’d be taking the batteries out of it all the time tho 💀
I wish they would’ve used that song on more vehicles. Also I’ve always pictured these to be huge because of the way the speaker sounds. also, you were right about the volume level on these; the VIDs don’t do it justice. Thing scared the shit out of me when I first press the buttons.
@@Vehiclemaster-qq6fr It also has the same speaker as the Voice Control which is why it's loud as hell in person lmao very neat vehicles but are flawd horribly bad in the worst way possible unfortunately
@@Xbell-The-Road-Rippers-Expert so the board just gets hot after a long period of use? that in mind, I’m surprised there aren’t more of these online and at thrift stores and stuff cause I know if I had anything that had that problem as a kid, I wouldn’t have it anymore.
@@Vehiclemaster-qq6fr Either the Board warms up, the batteries warm up or even both which all can cause the vehicle to damage itself (fry itself) hell on my first one when I'd just play the music the board would get hot if that says anything on how these Totally Tuned vehicles are built. The Side Skirt lights tend to blow on them a lot too and it first starts with them getting unusually dim then just blowing completely which on my old one it had lots of them blown out. Fixing Master (an old RR collector) experienced the issue before as well but way worse..he said that the batteries in his got extremely hot and the motor started running by itself and it actually fried the microcontroller (the part that drives the motor) it happened when he was sleeping too because he said he woke up hearing the rear wheels spinning...what makes this worse is that he got it NIB at a Thrift Store too, he had it sitting inside the box in his room when it occurred. Also, you gotta consider this too, RRs were mostly bought for kids a lot back then so they may not have survived play from back then and some kids are ruthless with items but some may be in people's attics and other forgettable places within a house. Granted some were also bought by vehicle collectors who buy specific vehicle makes because they're fans of them as well so some may still be in private collections like that which is why some RRs may not pop up a lot
First off, I didn't know Road Rippers had a theme. Second, props to you for activating this on top of your ever-so-flammable bed. Flareon time! Third, it would seem to me this car's design is inspired by the Mercedes C-Class hatchback from the early 2000s, crossed with some Honda features. Like, the front looks like a Honda fit and the rear looks like a C-Class hatchback. Fourth, I wonder how common it is for these batteries in that thing to corrode as opposed to combusting.
These don't explode immediately thankfully, it can take like months for problems to eventually happen. I actually shoved AAs inside this one which probably is safer. (They're out now ofc) And I honestly think this was suppose to run on AAs or 3 Cs in the prototype models, but they added a 4th battery bc the speaker is very large. Probably not common at all for them to corroded over bursting. I actually attempted at image searching this thing to possibly find vehicle similarities, Google was popping up with the Ford Focus. 😂 They did make a version that looks like a Honda Acura Integra RSX
Wait, so it wouldn't just catch fire, but literally EXPLODE? The Ford Focus is very similar at the front definitely, but the rear end isn't quite similar enough, probably because like I said, it appears to be two different cars. Which gen of the Integra, the one with the small round headlights?@@frostbitetheglaceon4379
@@StatickyCatif you look it up the other Totally Tuned is a Custom '04 Honda Acura Integra RSX Tuner Coupe, give it a search on RUclips and you'll see too This one on the other hand is an amalgamation of vehicles so therefore it literally has no exact vehicle make hence everyone calling it '04 Tuner-Hatchback. I dont see that much Focus traits in this other than the fact that both are Hatchbacks but that's it because if you look up other vids of these (like mine) you'll fully see the entire body of the vehicle
Indeed, and I don't know if this car's appearance was inspired by the Mercedes-Benz C-Class hatch from the early 2000s, but it sure looks similar, doesn't it?
@@StatickyCatThe C Class may have been one of the traits it has but that's definitely not the full vehicle make as it's an amalgamation of other vehicles (such as the '04 Honda Fit, '04 Buick Rendezvous, '04 Toyota Prius and the '02 Saturn L - Series) so therefore it has no exact vehicle make which is why we all call it '04 Tuner-Hatchback (because it's a custom 2000's Hatchback)
Oh yea, as mentioned in my main comment to this video, it is indeed a mish-mash of multiple cars. The rear end screams C-Class in my opinion, though.@@Xbell-The-Road-Rippers-Expert
@@StatickyCat look up the vehicles I mentioned for the taillights in the pinned comment and you'll see that the C Class taillights aren't that similar at all. The taillights are a mix of the '04 Buick Rendezvous for the main shape of them then for the strip across them that makes them connect it's the '02 Saturn L-Class. It may look a little bit like the C-Class taillights from the side but it's not 100% those at all if you actually compare the 2 shapes of them
Oh yeah, I see it, because of the wider taillights. The hunched back rear end looks similar too, but it's so much lower. Implementing an American vehicle's design is strange on a tuner-style car since tuners seem to like Japanese cars more, but the full-width taillights do look cool.@@Xbell-The-Road-Rippers-Expert
