New Mini-heart Cooper review
 
1 Attachment(s)
JJust got my mini heart Cooper. Overall very nice and even more interesting and fun. The detail on the bodies is excellent and more realistic than any other clone I know. The most interesting feature on these cars is that not only does it have a "turbo" button but there is another switch which as of yet I havent seen anywhere else. The instructions explain the switch allows you to change from full speed mode to two speed mode. Obviously the full speed is just that, and the two speed uses the turbo button like MS pro. The turbo button is more like a Nracer in that it seems when you turn the car while pressing it, the car goes back to single speed for that moment. Personally I like this feature because it prevents the car from rolling over in a tight turn with a fast motor, which can be great when you have a long track like I do. Other items include working headlamps, stiff wire antenna on the car, a larger cell in the car, and with the "special" cars they include a sheet of decals. An excellent buy from Tara - CivicSport93@aol.com
Who has been a longtime member and trader/seller here who I have bought from before. Cant really see any faults here at all
and I would have to say A+ considering the great price.

Do they use snap on motors?

ucfdan,

Those look really interesting. I had a question though, is that your basic clone controller but modified for the 2 speed/ 2 speed on/off capability?

I cant wait for mine... it should be here on Tuesday after a two week journey from hong kong... Did anyone else order them from toyeast? If so, did they come before or after the date that toyeast says that theyll be at your house?

Yeah these are fully BCG compatable cars. The controller resembles the normal clone type but with the turbo button and the speed switch, and they are slightly more robust than just a any old clone.

I got mine yesterday and finally had time to try them today. And all three SUCK big time. They all have several problems. First, all three can't go straight even after adjustting the bar. Two of the three have weak lights. Another one has about a foot or two of range. One of them has low torque and it's slow compare to the other two. Over all I'm very disappointed.

Awaken 09-13-2003 04:27 PM

usually about 1-2 days and its by the usps

These things are cool! Sure they don't run very straight, but the detail is amazing and they are fast! Also the charging doesn't work for the time it is supposed to on one of mine, but the other one works great! Overall, I think they were worth the 15.50 dollars that they cost. I think everyone should get one maybe not for the performance, but for the technology (switch between 2-speed and one, and coner slow-down) and the design. Here are some pics:

Lights
They are quite strange, they are not LED's, it is a horizontal PCB with little globs of something on each end that glow. What are these little globs?
