The Mach 5 Bit Specs and Questions
 

i got a couple of questions for you mach 5 owners

1) are the tires wider than a normal Bit?

2) whats the engine & gearing?

3) would i be able to transplant it into a booster chassis (hey it's Speed Racer GO SPEED GO) kinda speed ?

4) is it fast stock?

5) has anyone seen the cartoon on Nickloden SPEEDRACER X
if your a fan you should watch check your local listings

I've seen the show. Are there pics of this Bit somewhere?
Is there a Shooting Star in production?

You can see an image of Mach 5 at this thread http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/showthr...t=bit+mechanic

And you can see the other 2 bits of the same series at this thread http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/showthr...w+bits+ordered

The answers for Racemonster's questions are:
1) No, they are the same width
2) It comes with a 2.2 motor and the orange gear (medium, 9.86)
3) Of course you can
4) I don't understand
5) I haven't seen it. Even if I wanted to watch it I couldn't because I leave in Greece and we don't have the Nickelodeon channel.:D

I hope that I helped you.:)

there's a new Speed Racer cartoon?! i live in California too, Racemonster505. what time is it on?

speed racer x 4:00pm or 4:30pm
 

thx for the info im thinking of getting speedracer as my fisrt bit i just wanted to make sure it is fast enough

its on sundays the new episode is at 4:00pm then a re-run or the privous week at 5:00pm but you might want to check local listings for time. for cailifornia that's the times it part of nickolden slam block the mach 5 looks soo much better wider backend it's stays close to the oringal story.


about question 4 is it fast with out modding

Re: speed racer x 4:00pm or 4:30pm
 

Its as fast as any Bit with a 2.2 motor should be.;)

if any knows what freq is it im seeing listed as 27 MHz but i see in the pics that its 49Mhz can anyone confirm ?

Today at last I received my Mach 5 plus the other 2 of the same series.:D

So I can confirm you that Mach's freq is at the 45MHz.

All 3s look awesome!!!:D
