thunder charger clones
 
well they steer great. have awesome antennas. but the motors are a mystery... oh and the bodys are freaking awesome,(just because you cant get these bodys anywhere else...)

Spanky 05-18-2003 11:25 AM

youle love this... big lots has them for 4.99 the run good depending on the motor...

2fast2furious59 05-18-2003 11:28 AM

dude thats awesome...do they have different parts u can buy or no...cuz i think i might go and pick up one or two

Spanky 05-18-2003 11:47 AM

nope
i only saw about 6 of them at my big lots

only the 2 body styles. and two frequncys.. each freq is a different color.. the cars are red or yellow and the truck is red or blue.

denden 05-18-2003 12:41 PM

I have the red and yellow cars , never sae the trucks .

Tillek 05-18-2003 12:51 PM

Big Lots? Do they have a site online? Nothing by that name over here in Seattle.

denden 05-18-2003 01:23 PM

Walgreens has them also .

Spanky 05-18-2003 02:15 PM

these cars arent packaged in a bubble or a box.. they have a weird plastic packaging... how much are they at wall greens...

no you probably wont find them online. big lots is like a discount kmart or wallmart.. sell the stuff that the bigger places couldnt sell for a fraction of the price...

i figured 4.99 would be good even if i only got the body... but i got one good motor. and a couple awesome pcb's tht have cool antennas..

Awaken 05-18-2003 02:21 PM

im gonna go pick one up :)

denden 05-18-2003 02:26 PM

Walgreens had them for $9.99 , I bought mine on Ebay
I got 4 for $20 bucks .

Awaken 05-18-2003 02:28 PM

denden 05-18-2003 02:31 PM

Try this : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=2565

Awaken 05-18-2003 02:33 PM

ill just go to big lots :)

Spanky 05-18-2003 02:35 PM

THEY DO NOT ALL HAVE 3.0 MOTORS LIKE STATED IN THAT EBAY AD...

Awaken 05-18-2003 02:39 PM

some arnt 3.0 and some are? what ones? i talking about big lots btw?

denden 05-18-2003 02:46 PM

The cars I have are 2.6 motors

Awaken 05-18-2003 02:49 PM

do these big lot cars fit on bit shells and stuff?

Spanky 05-18-2003 03:29 PM

the cars are called thunder chargers.. the chassis i would say is 1 mm longer.. the bodys fit on bits.. but bit bodys wont fit because of the internal antenna that this thing has...

2fast2furious59 05-18-2003 03:32 PM

well now all i have to do is wait till my parents take me to big lots....and then i'll get them

Spanky 05-18-2003 03:41 PM

good luck on that one.. not all big lots carry the same stuff..

Awaken 05-19-2003 12:33 AM

are these sold on any website??

Spanky 05-19-2003 03:15 PM

heres an idea. do a search for them on the web.. you may just find them....

Awaken 05-19-2003 04:05 PM

tryed and all i got was crap like: thunder charger super fast charger in mins!! .....

Spanky 05-19-2003 06:21 PM

try thunder charger Mini rc or micro rc. or thunder charger rc car. i also saw a ebay store that was selling them for like 10 bucks apiece..

Spanky 05-19-2003 06:31 PM

these cars are distributed by mega toys, who is in partnership with NIKO of japan.. so these cars are essentially Niko cars.

either way. body quality gets about a 6 on a 10 scale. (feel fragile like ive said befor)

chassis gets a 7 (rear tab broke once)

steering gets a 12 on a 10 scale....

Awaken 05-19-2003 07:30 PM

while we are into the back tab subject...i just broke mine!!! what do i do man i cant keep the motor and heat sink down :(

Spanky 05-19-2003 08:45 PM

did you break it completely off? or did it just crack..

i have made new ones with credit cards.. just double them up and you get a good firm mount. then superglue. and use braces for it so it dosent buckle under pressure of putting on the cap..

by braces i mean som pieces on the bottom that form to the bottom of the tab and the back of the chassis. superglue all of it..

credit card plastic is less likely to crack..

Awaken 05-19-2003 09:39 PM

yep not even a little bit on there the whole tab broke off anf a ran outta superglue trying to get that piece back on :( hmm dunno if i have credit card plastic but ill try.. and thanks

i just picked up the blue suv at biglots. i'm very impressed. for $4.99 i got an awesome motor, a great running car, and horribly ugly red wheels.:p i like the controller too. i also got almost 15 min. runtime from 1 charge. i must have gottten real lucky with this one, but i'm getting the 2 cars tomorrow. i'll put the red body with the red wheels. for $4.99 might as well get a few.:p

Awaken 05-20-2003 01:09 AM

i looked everywere at my big lots and i couldnt find them :( i wish i could get me some

rt450 05-20-2003 01:11 AM

Awaken 05-20-2003 12:57 PM

hehe you know about my broken tab problem? will my motor now holds its self down!! :) annnndd it turned my vw beetle into lowrider because the casssis can fit higher inside the shell ;) :bdrop:

Spanky 05-20-2003 01:02 PM

awaken.. i dont understand your last post. are you drunk or something? lol. what are you using to hold your motor down... did you superglue it inplace? or are you using the body to hold it down?

Awaken 05-20-2003 01:06 PM
