The New World of Desktop Racers
Intro | Puchi Maru and Digi Q | Bit Char-G
By Namuna

From Nikko comes the iRacer. Using the same technologies as the DigiQ, it offers proportional steering and speed as well as IR control.

Street Price: ~$35(US) (RTR Car & Controller)







Pros:
  • The smallest Micro scale car, at just a hair smaller than the DigiQ
  • Has proportional steering and speed
  • Available in 5 different IR IDs (The DigiQ only has 4)
  • Uses NiMH batteries (in car) and has a runtime up to 10minutes
  • The charging station (on the controller) is on the front with a protective cover.

    Cons:

  • Only 4 body types available
  • No accessories or upgrades
  •  
    Being the most cloned Micro scale car on the market, the Bit Char-G copies have many names (names very close to the original) and grades of quality. Being as cheap as $18(US) for a car with controller, these cars might be cheesy knock-offs but still offer some fun (or a good 'guinnea pig' for mods you might not want to try right off on your precise Bits).

    Head on over to QFM Racing for more in-depth details about the clones (OEMs, Bullets, Cubes, Char-A, and others). We will be enhancing and updating this article with more pictures and movies, as well as new information as new offerings come out. Stay tuned!
