How did you get into Bits?
 

Beg you pardons if this has been done.

How did you get into Bit Char-G, Microsizers and what not?

My case; Was 'on the hunt' on eBay only a week ago and purely by chance stumbled across a seller's store in HK that had Mini RC (was looking for airsoft at the time). "What the? Mini R/C?? When did this happen?" Did some surfing and research (thanks to Namuna and TinyRC) and decided to purchase a Bit Char-G with the over the rest.

Now I'm waiting for my bbimpb. I've been into RC stuff since I was younger (have a Kyosho boat) but could never really get into the hopping-up and such because of price. I'm also into miniture stuff...replicas and the like, so they really caught my eye. Gotta like technology.

Well my firned was browsing online and found out about zip zaps, then i did my research lol and found out about microsizers, then it led me too bit char-g's. I only have a red Lancer ms though. That and a black skyline body and a custom painted body, which i hope to get some pics up of.

my story is exactly the same, and i mean EXACTLY!!

Exactly the same:D :D :D

ive been into them for little over a year now, i stumbled across the bit char-g's first, i was lookin at a friend's website and he keeps a daily journal and just happen to look through it and it mentioned how he just recently bought one and there was a link to the Tomy japanese website and i just researched for little over a couple of months on them last year until now cause i didnt have a job nor the money at the time to get one, and when i finally got enough i ordered my white accord wagon and the seller threw in a 2.6 with it....been stuck on em since....i love them to death but kinda like another hole in my pocket....i know ive spent well over $200 on it overall.....i got all my "interesting" bit pics from all my research......ive been thinking about making an online photo album showcasing all the rare and very cleanly done customs ive ran across in the last year (and believe me its ALOT).....im tryin to talk tinyrc into lettin me have a gallery

anywho yea thats my story

just surfing ebay saw some clones in the featured product area,found out about zipzaps then microsizers,then i found the SUPRAstar my one and only but about to get a few more i really like the skyline 2000 body can easily make it look like a american muscle car.SWEET!!!!

Same exact story, browsing around on e-bay and there they were. Started searching and found the bitchar-g was going to be my best bet. and sure enough i love it. so much fun in such a small package. :cool:

i was checking for some new games on shockwave.com so i found a game called zipzaps ... and the review says .. " micro r/c cars" so i searched on google and found lots of sites talking about it, then i found TinyRC.com .. which is the best site ever about r/c, i like the bit char-g mostly because of the wonderful reviews and idea's on this board ... r/c was always my hobby, but not so proffesionaly i have a Tamiya Fighter Buggy RX ... can't wait till i get my bit char-g honda s2000 !!!

hey this is verrrry off topic, but I just noticed lucifer's spinning skull and wondered how you get an animated gif to work in ur profile.

I found out about the bitchar-g's cars when I went to my buddy's car tuner shop. They had pretty much every single one tomica offered, even the hopped up zexel skyline. Good stuff.

I read about BCGs back when they were first released while browsing other R/C forums. I had no idea it would get this large.
I did not buy a Bit until my LHS started stocking the Microsizers.
Now I own 2 MS kits, and a Tomy Battle Chase set will arrive for Christmas!

Well I sold all my r/c stuff a year and a half ago and wanted to get back into it about 3 months ago and walked into my LHS and they had the Microsizers on display to test drive so I bought one for my 3 year old son. He had so much fun with it that I started looking on the net for hop-ups when I found QFM web site, I just had to have one, so I bought 2 for me and one for my wife. I has been all micros and bits from there, and my 3 highly modded Micro Rs4 too.

from some pocketpc site. i was on the hunt for the latest app and they had an article about microsizers on their news page. i totally wigged and now i own four little cars.

umm saw it on the net, bought one 2 days later at the local anime store

my friend had one and didnt have anyone to race with so i bought one and we race at school ............ before you know it everybody has one i should be a sales person when i grow up:D :p

I got started from my guitar teacher. He had a friend in hawaii that gota shippment from japan. He was going to sell his one on e-bay because he had no time to play with it so i said i d buy it from him and now i have myself a bit char-g.

i saw them in Import Racer! magazine and saw they had a WRX and about **** my pants and decied i must have it, then i got really heavy into the research, i have my Blue WRX and 3 more all different frequencies coming around christmas

i saw the TV commercial. it said, "microsizers equals the maximum fun equation, BLAM!"

I saw the tomy bit char-g about a year ago. However, I forgot about it thinking it would probably go away. I bought a lego technics set and regreted it. When I saw the bits again, I auctioned the lego technic set and bought a skyline set. NO regrets thereafter.

i learned about 5 months ago when i saw a Initial D mini-z so i search for more Initial D r/c cars and found the bit char-g set i eventually got a red rx-7

i seen them in rcca
 

i seen them in rcca and at tower hobbies
i was 12 when i seen um and ilways wonted one (but dad wouldnt let me order online) hobby shop didnt have um (there closed now:mad: :mad: :mad: ) had to wait for the to come in stores (got a clone at jcp and 2 bits from target) and now im hooked

I was going there to buy some cpu heatsinks for my dual cpu machine, and heard this stop there sir! while i was walking, i almost crushed this little honda civic this guy was trying out. Well to make a long story short I bought a red mustang ZZ and hte engine pack....it was fun but wasnt anyhting i'd consider fast...and ym roomate told me his friend has these japanese ones that are capable of drifting and donuts...off to the land of the modems....(*you hear a guy going "WHHEEEEEEE!!" like a little kid*)


Well I found out about bit char-g and then went to the way overpriced anie store in one of the local malls and paid like 50 bucks for a bit char-g rx7, my god that thing was quick....and then it got worse....

I went out and bought a skyline from tinyrc,a dn bought a lancer and a skyline body pack from a hobby shop i found....then bought a skyline set, and a booster...then another skyline. and motors and....and .... and.............. ... . . .


Well you know how it goes :D

i was looking for stuff on Mini Z cause i saw a show on DIY Radio Controlled Hobbys had a show on them as i was looking on the net i came across QFM and this forum and been here ever since these things are soo cool small portable dont need alot of dough to play with. im sooo sucked into the micro r\c scene i want it all.

i show that show too
 

i seen that one too
was gonna get one but found these fun little cars

I first heard about Zip Zaps and Bits on a thread over at Bladeforums.com. This guy in the gadgets and gear section recommended them and posted a link to TinyRC. After reading about them over here for a couple weeks, I finally went out to Super Target and bought one. And the need for more has been growing ever since!

i want 2 0f each:D

About a year ago, I went into a japanese store looking to drink some strawberry milk boba, then there was a new section of the store selling mini RC cars.. and among them were the Tomy Bit Char-Gs. A week later I bought one.... then another one... then another one... then another one....

After finished the whole series of Initial D I start search for on internet.. and there I found a site with Initial D model cars/ r/c /micro r/c.. which I eventually bought the project D set :D

my story is alot diffrant from the rest,i was turning 24 and my sister bought me a zip zap for my b-day,i liked it at first them my boy came buy to show me he had bought himself a white skyline microsizer with a 2.6 when we raced i was pissed we went to the lhs and i bought me my first microsizer. **** zip zaps they suck.no im 8 cars deep and not done yet i think i need to go to tinyRC AAA.BITS for life!!!

I'm too large to get into bits.

Seriously, I've been wanting a 1/10 scale gas powered monster truck, and I was just going back to Tower Hobbies' website to daydream, when I saw these tiny RC cars, and I then knew that my dream of an RC Hot Wheels had just become a reality. I wanted one sooo bad, but my wife had just got out of the hospital, and we were really tight on money. So it had to wait. I got a Zip zap for Christmas, and then I was off, and there's no stopping me now. Now just 2 months later, I have 6 cars, and 2 more in the mail, but really I think I'm done buying cars. Now I'm going to waste every free cent to build a nice track.

I've got a guitar project that is half done, I really need to finish it (just in case I die tomorrow), but I just keep buying cars.

I got addicted to BITS after I bought a couple zz's for my 8 year old nephew during the holidays. These little buggers are like crack ! I think I must have over 30 or so different zz's, bits, clones. Not counting the ones I butchered and sent to BIT Heaven. I keep some at work and some at home to mess around with. I also keep around some EPOCH Spec 1 and Spec 2 rides too. They're fun too, especially with the 4 cell mod. I'm 37, single, My girlfriend now thinks I have a childhood regression problem in addition to my marriage commitment problem. But who listens to women anyway.

I discovered these cars at Extreme Tech. Basically, they said get a microsizer, not a zip-zap. And I remember they said something about 1:6 gears. Does that exist?

This is how I got into micro rcs: Back in June, I went Pacific Mall in Toronto. I saw these little cars that were about 1/64 scale and said I have to get them. It took me one month to decide [I wasn't really thinking about it.] and got the '95 Toyota Supra. I can't find that one so I really have 7 cars. Now, 7 months later I have 6 micro rcs ranging from a Ferrari Enzo to a few Hondas and I have a track that's one quarter completed.

i first saw a Bit Char G or a Digi Q on a magizine "SuperStreet" and me and my friend were wanted some soooo bad, but we knew it was only for the japs and it wont come to Canada. Then when i went to Vancouver this summer, i saw some at a night market and i wanted to get one but i had no money. soon i got a clone, and now im waiting for a friend to come back with a lot of bits and such....CANT WAIT!!!

heh, I moved to Japan...:cool:
needless to me, I got hooked
