Shen Vs. Precious

[sessiz10]

I bought a precious clone a while back at the hobbytown and was extremely impressed with the quality and speed of the clone. In the forums here I have read a few people reply with "Shens are better". So tonight as me and my wife were shopping in the mall I stopped by the kiosk that sells clones. Low and behold mixed in with the fit racers and the thunderbolts was a shen qi wei (1 shen meant for me I guess). I did not listen to my wife and bought one, cause I here they are better than my precious. Well after playing with the shen and the precious for an hour (all stock) I have come to this conclusion.

THE BREAKDOWN

BODY
The shen body is not clear, it's white plastic painted well with bad stickers.
The precious is clear plastic with a nice paint job and bad stickers.
The precious wins.

CHASSIS
The shen chasis is black and the pcb cover is black (non translucent). The craftmanship of the chasis is good as compared to some other clones.
The precious chasis is a light grey and the pcb cover is clear. The craftmanship of the chassis is good.
The precious wins. If only for the fact that the color of the chassis is different and the pcb cover is clear.

STEERING
The shen did not steer well out of the dome, but after a minor adjustment it was strait.
The precious steered straight right out of the bullet.
This one is a tie because they both steer straight.

THE SPEED
The shen's speed is funny. It has allright torque but excellent top end. I'ld say a 2.4 or 2.6. The color of the motor is like a peach color (the first I've seen, not red not pink but peach) What really impressed me is that it is almost an exact duplicate of a zip zap motor. If I saw just the motor I would say it was a zip.The handling of the car at full speed was not unlike a real bit (donuts at turn)
The precious speed is great. It has both excellent top end and torque. I'ld rate it at 3.0 easy. The color of the precious motor is white. The handling is great it donuts less than any other clone or bit that I've had.
I'm gonna call this 1 a tie also, only cause I was impressed with the shen motor's make, but the precious is quicker and handles better.

TX
These were the same quality. The only difference was the color and stickers.

MISC.
The gears on the shen are white including the pinion and they are also very quiet. The rims are shiny and the tires are a medium.
The precious gears are green with a green pinion, also very quiet. The rims are nice and medium tires.
What ya know, another tie.


THE VERDICT
Draw your own conclusions. These are my observations and in my book the precious is a better car. My reasons for that opinion are based on the body, chassis and overall speed and handling of the precious. I hope this helps someone.
