Actually payaso I didn't try to figure it, I was too excited about the ultra cheap price. Even if the charge me $20.00 for UPS it'll still be worth it, cause I'm still only paying like $40.00 for 2 kits.

thanks alot for the link! I havnt even seen that site yet. Might buy one of those 2 but I also noticed they have really good prices (ie $13 US for a booster controller!) I also noticed they have the Auto Modellista set and the 350Z in. Are these booster cars or no? On the Tomy site- here it says that they are both boosters, but they seem to have a normal controller -

Im guessing the 2 spd only works with the booster controller then? BTW I still have no bit so this would be my first one. Id like to get 2 or 3 cars with a few things like motors and bodies. help me plz?

THX!!

I doubt it will go over 12 for shipping. I've dealt with hlj a year before and I remember paying very little for shipping, just beware of the shipping time. Sometimes they can take forever, took three weeks for my order to get her because of some holiday that closed the UPS offices.

Your welcome, my mission is to spread the good word of the bit. The Auto Modellista set would definetly be a good choice, more bang for your buck, plus it's two speed and comes with a 2.2 motor an excellent starter set and more. In regards to the controller, yes it is standard one but it does have a boost button on it... hell yeah. And check out the Z's controller it's BLACK...

Some how I managed to overlook the boost button...have you seen any larger pics? As for the auto modellista, the price seems a bit high for me and im not completely partial to the wheels (weird 3 spokes) so I think Ill wait for that one to go on Ebay. as for Hobbylink... Ive decieded to Get:

TOM63714 G-24 Nissan Fairlady Z (Z35) (57MHz)
TOM62855 G-15 Accord Wagon White Pearl (35MHz)
TOM63716 GM-11 Supra Castrol Body Set
TOM63511 GS-05 Micro Motor 2.6
TOM59026 Setting Parts Set A (Gear)

all tolled comes to 43.91 US or $70 CDN. Is this a good first purchase? Id like to get 2 cars, and really want a booster. I dont know when Ill have money for another order so this has to do for a while. I would have got the bB as well but the 350Z is already 57MHZ. -Also I read a while back, that the 57mhz cars are really glitchy and short ranged,,,,is that generally true? Any other ideas for this first timer? THX!!

I'm 99% sure that the chassis is an OEM brand that bit body is on, the wheels in the set should be Tomy's standard ones.

To be honest I won't know myself until I get my bB, I've got a 27mhz and 45mhz.

thx again! Yeah your probably right about the wheels. On the Tomy site they are the standard ones

hopefully they still have the Hondas in tomarrow when I place my order

thx!

Need4Speed210 · #15 09-29-2002, 03:59 AM

btw if anyone wants to see bigger pics of the sets, here they are:
Auto Modelista
Fairlady 350Z

I guessing the boost is on the top right as with the 4 band controllers?
