Rad Shack sells Bit clones too...
 
In Canada that is!I just picked up one today and I'm hooked!These things are pretty cool!I found this great forum by searching yahoo and I must say it is pretty cool here!There is only one problem with mine though, it keeps spinning out in one direction if I turn that way.Will better Bit tires help stop that?Thanks,Munim

yep i know, i think i'll pick one up this weekend, need soemthing to race my microsizer. How are the bodies on these clones?

Munim 11-08-2002 09:47 AM

The bodies are kind of cheezy, I have never seen a Bit up close in real life though.The texture of the body is kind of rought, the detail lines are not "clean" if you know what I mean.It also has some painted on graphics, mine,the RX7, is white body with blue paint on it resembling something like flames except they are not.Its also got some stickers on it.The wheels are cheesy chrome too.

What was the name of the clone?

I think he's talking about the Zip-Zaps...

ZZ's don't have this kind of body... sounds like a micro r/c myte or something to that affect.

the radio shacks in canada sell turbo micro racers, which come with a pretty fast motor if u put it in a bit

jlo mein 11-08-2002 06:15 PM

where in canada have you gotten these?

i live in BC, and i have phoned 5 rat shacks, and they are ALL sold out of the turbo charge racers....

They say they are an extremely popular item and sell out almost immediately.

I can see why, when they put it in their flyer as $30 regular but on sale for $20:) ....

Munim 11-08-2002 07:08 PM

Yep, they are not Zip Zaps.Having not seen a Bit personally, I can't compare the speeds, but the little car is pretty fast!

Jlo Mein:I live in Quebec and had to go to a really unknown place to get it.try www.radioshack.ca and search for the "MIcro Turbo RAcer."Once you get to the product page, click on the "find it in store" and you can go from there becuase it tells where theya re in stock.

Kwikbb: As lanevo7 said, theya re Micro Turbo Racers.

Ya i originally did that so i could find them, but the problem is that thing is not updated fequently enough. Every store that i phoned that was listed as "in stock", was actually out of stock.

Here is a direct link to the where you can get them.
