Crazy/stupid story to tell....
 
Ok, my cars have been broken for months! I have not been getting around to fixing them, and I had a dual cell shen, and I loved it. Fast, powerful, and most of all. Fun. Today, after so many days of NOT fixing my bits, I fixed a cheap clone from Walmart. WOW! Does it fly! It might just be me, not playing with my cars in a long time, but dam! This thing flies!

Well, that's my story, just had to tell it! :)

what is it called and discribe it too me
I want one

xatu 04-11-2003 06:21 PM

They aren't too great, but the wires on them are awesome! They are small, but they don't break too easily. And anyways, back to the car... It is called a Micro Turbo Racer. They come with a fast motor as a stock car.

Lord_Nick_D 04-11-2003 06:40 PM

yeah i saw those they come in a bullet right
I was going to pick up one of the duel celled ones with the metal bodies but i dont know

xatu 04-11-2003 06:42 PM

Yea, they come in a bullet type thing. They look like a snow globe is what the look like, except the top is a dome, not a circle. These ones don't come with metal bodies, and not dual celled.

Lord_Nick_D 04-11-2003 07:20 PM

I know the other kind comes with that stuff
your car didnt come in a round controller
the ones i saw had a bulllet style case and the motorcycles by the same company came in a oval dome

xatu 04-11-2003 08:21 PM

But my car DID come with a round controller.

Lord_Nick_D 04-11-2003 08:42 PM

is it look like a cyclona or precious or shen package or like a cannonball package?
I'm getting confused

xatu 04-11-2003 09:22 PM

It comes in the exact same form as a shen.

Lord_Nick_D 04-11-2003 09:47 PM

ok and it said turbo racer or somthing on the side right
the car body isnt the best either With black windows I think they come in celicas and stuff if thats it I've seen them
they were 19.99 cnd

xatu 04-11-2003 09:50 PM

Yea, that would be the one. The one I got was a yello celica.

Lord_Nick_D 04-12-2003 12:02 PM

cool
so thier good
what would you rate the engine and handaling and overall out of 10
I might get one if they are good

xatu 04-12-2003 01:03 PM

Well, they handle awesome,, but the downside is is that they come with really rank hard tires, and the rear rims are larger than normal ones. Now for the rating.... hmmm, maybe a 7 or an 8, mainly because the tires suck so much, and the batteries don't last too long.

Lord_Nick_D 04-12-2003 02:52 PM

but the car is good
I can replace the gears tires and motor
so the steering goest sright mainly and it turns well and the electronics seem to be good

xatu 04-12-2003 05:00 PM

Yea, the steering is pretty good straight out of the container. I would highly recommend replacing the tires, they really suck, and most of the bodies that are on them really suck.

Lord_Nick_D 04-12-2003 08:20 PM

hows the motor what would you compair it with and have you droped it at all yet if yes how did it react after the fall
my precious falls all the time and it doesnt damage it at all
do you know what kind of clone it is eg. bensu etc.

xatu 04-12-2003 08:29 PM

Well, my motor can beat my friends shen car with the stock 3.0 motor in it, so I am guessing a 3.2-3.5, and it has lots of power. I can't remember the last time it fell, but I think all it did was the steering magnet went off center. So I jsut fixed that.

Sorry, I don't know what kinda clone it is... :confused:

Lord_Nick_D 04-14-2003 02:54 PM

its that fast woa I'm goin to have to buy one
but the steering magnet fell out of place
My precious is a tank honestly its fallen sooo many times and it doesnt do a thing

xatu 04-14-2003 05:21 PM

Yea, they're pretty fast. But before you buy one, open it up and see what motor is in there. If it is white, it is the fast and power one, and if it is yellow, it's a 3.0.

Lord_Nick_D 04-14-2003 08:12 PM

how can you open it first is there any difference in the motors or any indication on the box

xatu 04-14-2003 10:15 PM

You just take the plastic down, and then twist off the top. There is no indication on the package of what kind of motor is in them. Not really much difference with the motors of the same kind, with the 5 I have, they are all the same, but a couple are better. Mainly because on the other ones, the back is kinda smushed in.

Lord_Nick_D 04-16-2003 03:22 PM

you know your not soposed to open packages in stores
so theres not much difference in them

BillyP 04-16-2003 03:44 PM

I think that's why clones are cheaper.

xatu 04-16-2003 05:14 PM

Meh, I always open stuff in stores :D
