Scale R/C Shopping Carts Perfect for Tiny Grocery Runs

Shopping cart races were one of the more wacky things that people used to do before all the stores made it so you couldn’t remove shopping carts from their parking lots. Now you can recreate that pastime in miniature, with these remote-controlled shopping carts.

These 1/19th scale R/C carts are perfect for racing around hardwood or tile floors, and even able to carry a small payload while carting around too. They’ll each hold up to 500g of cargo (that’s over a pound), which means you can load them up with some dollhouse sized groceries without a problem. Then you can have cart demolition derbies, and the last one with any groceries left in their cart wins.

They’re also great for messing with your cat, as is evidenced from the video clip below:

I’d fill mine with a bag of catnip and see what happens then.

You can grab either the blue or the red remote-controlled shopping carts (each operates on its own frequency) over at Amazon for $21 (USD) each – though you’ll spend another $18 on shipping to get each one shipped from Japan.
