Miniature RC cars... these things are a BLAST!

[Monel Funkawitz]

I picked up one of those little RC cars at the local fleamarket. If you don't know what they are, they are a micro mini RC car (The car is about 2" long, REALLY small. I can curl my hand around it and cover the whole car up.) I paid $15 for it, but they are cheaper at other places. They have full 6 way control - Forward, reverse, left, right. You snap the car on the remote for 45 seconds, and it charges the car. Car bat lasts for 6-10 min. NEAT AS HELL!

I bought it for parts, but I can't bring myself to destroy it. I've spent the last hour knocking stuff off my desk with it. Little sumbitch flies! I can do brodys with it on my desk now.

Anyone else play with these?

No, but this hand can knock the teeth out of that two eyed tard sitting at your keyboard.

This place had super cheap prices but they only take paypal or money orders. I didn't feel right about it, If anyone buys from them please rate them and post results.



CHEAP PRICES like way too cheap.

Which ones are better Bit Char G, ZipZaps....etc...etc? I know there are more but I can't remember the names.

What are the differences?

 

[MrPhelps]

I think the Bit-char probably, They are the original ones from japan. Do a search and see there are actual forums about these cars.

Any sites that explain all the finer details to a n00b like me? From the looks of things I assume you can customize these things.

These things look pretty cool.

Here's a good site for any of you that want to get these... tells you about them too.
I bought a couple for myself and a coworker a couple weeks ago.
FYI get Bit Char-G cars... they're the real thing AKA Hobbico Microsizers in the USA. I bought mine from Tower Hobbies.

My silver supra with a 3.8 motor will whoop on all of ur guys' cars lol. I have some motors that are really fast and have lots of torque that i got from a motor company, but they have wires on them, i soldered one into a friends oem car and it worked fine, if anyone wants to buy em off me message me i guess

That's not a Tomy Bit Char-G. check it out.

 

[chiwawa626]

Generaly the Microsizers (USA), Tomy (Tomica) Bit Char-g, and the Tomy Compact Char-G (Australia) are the only good quality cars. The others are cheap, fall apart, dont go as fast, have less torque (no carpet playing). I would recomend a Real tomy one if u want to play more then a week.

 

[deerslayer]

I want one!!!

I love getting bored with stuff before the craze catches on. My and my friends had these since the last school year, I can't even remember when. My fondest memories include us all staring wide-eyed as we tried to get it to drive up a ramp only to fall over, then we all hurt till our stomachs hurt. Another included a time when one of em got stuck in one of those sidewalk cracks and I was whizzing around in my 1/10 scale RC car. I offered to give him a nudge, but ended up rubbing his car all over the sidewalk with my wheels. He almost cried when he saw his paintjob. Then, he tried to ram my car with his only to run out of power before it hit.
