German Bit Clone REVIEW

[B!NO]

Juhhh, finally received this small thing, and yeah, I´m was surprised, HOW SMALL it is.
The complete set comes with:

The fully mounted car
6 AAA batteries
one charger (can´t charge with remote !)
remote control
belt clip
"neck-strap"

Ok, putting the batts into their places
3 into the remote, 3 into the charger.

the car has to be pushed onto the charger, which pushes in, so that u can snap the car into a hook.
When the light turns from red to green you can hav fun.....

At least I thought so...
Car moves as fast as a Bit with a 1.6 motor.
BUT its steering diameter is about 1 metre !!!
I guess it´s because the front wheels are such tiny.

While driving backwards, the diameter is acceptable, like a bit with a 2.6 motor.

Ask for more pics / answers ...

AND YES, there will be definetly no light mod be possible, without putting the battery onto the roof or on a trailer..


SORRY I HAD TO ZI THE IMAGES....

Thanks for the review B!NO! VERY interesting stuff. If appears to be a completely unique car, not a clone of anything else out there. Does it say who makes it anywhere?

[B!NO]

Name of the Company is ****IE-Spielzeug (means: ****IE-toys)

They are know for making really crappy toys here in germany....
By the way, I returned the car into store, because there was no way to fix the steering to work.

BUT they are available in the colors yellow, blue and red "unsorted" ,with frequencies of 27 and 40

Till next time when anything new comes up...

Ah interesting. Looks like a DigiQ to me (correct me if I am wrong, have never seen a DigiQ outside my computer monitor).

I doubt we can classify it as clone like Tiny said since the board looks completely different.

Also, I have a question. What is the average range you get from it?

In the 99% cases the steering diameter is depending by the type of tyres on the front and a little of rear: Soft tyres front help on steering in narrow turns, Hard tyres help on wide turns.

Since the distance between the front and the rear axe is so close, this car shuld make very narrow turns, in theroy.

Where do U find this car in Germany ? Which chain ? Do U know if it is available as well in Austria ?

no, the front wheels are touching the chassis.....
this is the problem with the steering+ u can see that the big rear wheel are "pushing" the car "above/over/atop" the front tires....
They are to small for that car...

U can get the cars in every toy store EXCEPT toys´r´us.....
Price is 18,95 €

cool, looks like the love child of a digiq and bitcharg.

it seems novel, but not very race-able.
