We all know that Scions are fun to drive. But what if we told you that you can take a Scion xB out for a spin – without even getting behind the wheel? Scion City offers you a sneak peek into the upcoming R/C sensation: the Scion xB Switch!

Based on the “True Ten” scale, the Scion xB Switch from HPI is a front-wheel drive, 1/10th scale electronic remote control car styled after the iconic Scion xB. Featuring Five Axis body kit and wheels, the car has aggressive lines and aerodynamic appeal.

The xB Switch will be ready to run out of the box with loads of features including a factory-assembled chassis, painted and trimmed body complete with decals, and a complete electronics system. It will also include a transmitter/receiver, reversible electronic speed control, battery pack and AC charger.

The xB Switch is sturdy and won’t break easily due to its rigid tub chassis. You will experience high performance in a small package, thanks to heavy components located low on the chassis, which allows the xB Switch to do brisk cornering, while the front-wheel drive and front mid-ship motor layout gives the car stability in handling.

The xB Switch will come in three colors: Super White, Classic Silver Metallic, and Gold Rush Mica. This hot R/C car is affordable at $199, and only available exclusively from a Scion dealership near you starting October 2010.

If you’re in the market for a cool toy to play with, or getting ready for the Christmas rush, the Scion xB Switch is definitely something you should look into. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more unique gift, so be sure to get it now!

most likely. the body comes off fairly easily. Youd just have to find the xB1 shell.

I gotta admit im a lil upset!!!!:mad: I called HPI SWITCH and ask about the different colors seen in the youtube clips provided as advertisment and dude was like "nah all we have are those 3 colors and we wont be doing anymore"...WTF hol'up but the frekn youtube clips has a frekn Green & a RS7.0 (mine lol) blueish one!!! (I want this one!!!) & a silver, white and mica gold tone one!!! So why are they only selling these 3 colors? Does anyone know if the other colors will be out soon or is it that I gotta go spend 2bills and still spend on making it come close to my original RS when in fact its already been done? If anyone knows any info on that blue one let me know same goes for the green one for all those fans of the green. Thanks.
Peace Peace...
