I am about to by my first little car, and I was wondering which one is best? Microsizers, Atomic Z-car, etc...... which one is reliable, fast, and easily moded.

If you live in Canada i would suggest you buy a Z-Car.. they are readily available. If your in the states you midaswell go with the microsizer. A microsizer is the american Bit Char-G. It isnt a clone it is the real deal, and its fully compatible. Z-Cars are fully compatible with everything except the bodies of bit char-g's, but you can use them if you buy the adapter that comes in the z-car speed upgrade. I like z-cars because they are smaller, with a led light out of the box, but i did order a microsizer from Tiny so, we will have to see how partial i am to them in a few days! ;)

I can easily get a z car online.....so thats not a big deal....

I really like the cool recharger/controller pods, those look awsome...

and should I buy a zz nos motor or a 3.8? which one is better, faster.....etc

IMO you should go for the z-car and a 3.8 motor from Tiny.. Your car would rip!! the factory 2.2 in the z-car is still pretty nice! But in the 3.8 from tiny your car is going to be FAST! :) I would suggest buying the z-car and then getting these options from here.

and get the 3.8 and the microsizers tune up kit. Then you should be flying! :)

I would stay away from the ZZ stuff altogether :)

Z-cars are pretty cool. The light mod is easier to do, but changing bodies are pretty much nil until you get the universal body adapter and change the rear wheels to a smaller set.

I'm having tons of fun with my son's Z-car. It's my frankenstein right now and it's looking great!

is i'm sure u ppl would dissagree Bit Char-G are cool...they can go fast with good motors and they are just good ol' cars...not that many mods, or atleast not as many as i'm sure Z-Cars do...

but i have a Bit Char-G...good little cars...

Let's see... ZZ suck because they are more in proportion than a Z car? Umm...ZZ suck because they are just as easy to control as a Z car? Phew... how 'bout this: ZZ suck because I can fit 3cells in the belly in series and still fit the stock ZZ body and ride wheelies and go 11 mph and a 20.5 foot scale 1/4 mile in 1.75 seconds. Yeah, ZZ suck. What?
:D

I don't understand why a ZZ sucks.

z cars are cool but i hate the controller, my clone that has the same kind of controller is really akward and uncomfortable to hold

bitcharg's are cool
but zz's are also cool. Microsizers can go fast but i have found some tweak outs while driving them. Microsizers have lots of off the shelf mods but i think bitcharg's have the most mods available (because they are the original:D! The zz booster packs are nice for the new zipzaps. Ya i try to make my civic an import tuner...kinda... :rolleyes:

Umm... Bit Char-g's and Microsizers are the EXACT same car except for the paint and frequency. Microsizers are sold in America. Bit Char-g's are sold elsewhere.

NO
they have different manufactures
they have different frequencies (as you said)
they have different resistor locations!
and the PCB is built slightly..just slightly different

and when i drove a microsizer it seemed to have its differences between it and the bit-char g

They're both made by Tomy. Hobbico is just the American distributor for Microsizers.

The PCB's differ from generations. I have 2 microsizers with 2 different styles of PCB. They make improvements as they go.

My old Microsizer is half as fast as my new one. The Pro's are even different from the other new generations PCB.

Same Company.

When I saw the notice in my inbox, I thought I was going to give in. I hate arguing these things, but I have gotten jumped a bunch of times for thinking Bit's and MS are different.

ya sorry dude for the confusion but i guess my judgement was wrong. you probably know more about bits and microsizers than i but i know a lot how they work and a lot bout zz's. And i dont mean to brag but i sure as hell know a ton about how real cars work and how my nitro 1/10 rc cars work

hey keep racin chelboed
