New odd car.

ts185r · #1 10-13-2002, 10:15 PM

I found a new (to me at least) car the other day. I picked one up b/c it's on 35MHz. All it says on it is "super racing". It's smaller. Maybe a Bit clone? Tad shorter than a ZZ, fron wheeles are smaller, and it's got WFB more power then my ZZ's. I can't get more then 3" on the range, I thinks my batts are half dead (runs on AAx2).
It comes in a clear dome with the controller as the base. Same $ as the ZZ, same basic construction,way cooler body.

So......Where did you get it? Pics?

Yup, that's a bit clone. Now you can feel the power difference between a bit and a ZZ.

I have a similar clone, that comes with the same "bullet" container. It's fast, but the steering is really bad. Runtime seems a little short too.

$20 seems a little high for the clone. I have seen those $20 price tags in carts in the malls and at a grocery store. Ebay has them for around $10-$15 shipped.

Work quality on these things are very sloppy! not worth the $20 I paid for each. Just wanted the diff mhz though and I was able to fix the steering problem by fixing the magnet and also cleaning up the coils a little (sloppy work from factory).

Good motors though, better than the zip but I don't think better than the bit (i have the MicroSizers).

What kinda motor is in that thing? I got my best motor from one of those clones. Even the NOS cant touch my "bullet" motor. Thing cooks.

ts185r · #11 10-14-2002, 10:24 PM

I don't what motor it is. The package says microB 1.0 motor. I swaped motors with it; I think it's faster. We worked on our track tonight, so our cars wern't used. I will be able to compare to my girlfriend's car tomarrow.
Thanks usagi, I couldn't get the pics to show that way.
Anyways, now we have two threads on the same thing. Clones.

My roommate got home yesterday and informed me of some knock-off cars he saw at a mall cart/kiosk. He said they were called "Tornado" racers or something like that. Apparently they come in different kits in various states of dissasembly and various accessories. They have 3 frequencies also. 27, 49, and a 35. I'm gonna go check em out today yet, and see what the motor or battery specs are to see if they would be of use!

I took the motor out of my brothers bensu bullet clone and that motor is better than any tomy motor i have. that plus the battery=a good deal...i would just throw the chassis away though.

I got a similar clone from Wall-Mart but wasn't very impressed (steerin really sucked) so I gave it to my daughter. Is pretty fast though.

Geez. I was looking for a local place to buy a Bit the other day and the one shop that did have them was sold out. The sales man tried to pawn one of those things off on me for $30.
Glad I didn't even think about buying them...
