New Micro RC line at Big Lots!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Well looks like Big Lots has caught onto the popularity f there thunder chargers, and they have a new line that is superior than the TC's. They are called micro speed, cost $6.99 and come in different car bodies, a motorcycle, and a skateboard. They also have micro speed bodies for only $1.99 and you get a hummer and a truck bod. Get this it comes with blue power gears, and what looks and drives like a 3.0! They have a control with josticks and a charger and cover on the front, and a nice tele solid antenna! As impresive as the thunder chargers were these are100% better. The bods are more realistic, Check your local big lots because you will want one of these. Check out the pics of the car and control if u can see but I have the worst digi cam. Later,

PS... WOW I just tested the car out and it drives like a dream, almost definately a 3.0! But check this out: The charger on the control is activated by a button, and whe you are finished with a charge you can leave the car on the charger and press the button again for another charge!! It lookss to be able to charge larger mah cells and dual cells without taking it out!!
WOW hell of a deal.

i cantfind them on the big lots website! i looked on both of them and i only found an ad 4 1 on the normal website. when i did a search on the whole sale site were all the products r, i found nothing!:mad:

Yes, these are fully compatable bit clones with the possible exception being the body which seems only a hair longer than a bit. These are all at my ocal big lots. They are a real improvement over the thunder chargers that they sell and those are impresive. However, it is a totally different and better product than the TC and only1.99 more... and so well worth it, great range with tele solid ant. great steering with wide grippy tires like the TC. The bods are really nice, which was the worst part about the TC, the one I have looks like a black Buick Grand National/regal t type. they have a big setup now for these called micro speed.

I saw them at a canadian walmart
they had ugly bodies which were all pretty much the same but with different pait jobs

and is kinda messed up and I'll but its perfection 3.8 in it

I bought two of these on my way home from work yesterday and I also picked up one box of thier track kit just for kicks ($2.99=for 102 pieces)

I havnt run mine yet but I will on saturday.

I really need to stop buying all these micro cars(I have so many), but now with the zipzaps se and the losi 1/18 scale truck I can see atleast three more purchases I will be making.

I plan on buying two zipzap se but I'm sure I will end up with six and I want to get two of the losi 1/18 scale trucks.

I cant seem to get enough of the mini/micro cars.

dude how much money do you have

ucfdan 09-05-2003 07:32 PM

I am not sure if those canadian wal marts are exactly the same. These actually have totally different distinct body styles. They sell the complete cars and they have a pack of 2 bodies that are a hummer and a race truck. The graphics are actually pretty cool amd the cars have nice lines. The one I have is squarish and there are at least 2 different other styles which are shaped way different. They also had a motorcycle and a skateboard on what looks like the same chassis. The controller on the sk8board is different and I cant remeber if the motorcyle had which controller.

Who me, I just work for a living.

Got one on my way home today. Wowzers, these cars are a dream! They have cool paintjobs without the ugly stickers, fat tires (width and thickness), awesome motor and gears, and it seems to have the front end lowered! I posted some pics for your pleasure. These are the best clones I've tried. For a cheap price too!

Well now I have run to Big Lots tomorrow.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.:D

But how are the tires on this car. I loved the Thnder Chargers wide flat tires.
