I just got my 2 Bitchar-g clones from Radioshack Canada.

Well, they were practically identical, a bit of overspray on the body, and the steering sucked (one direction was good, the other was slow).

So... I took it apart. It's identical.

Then, something wanted me to take the motor out and try it in my Microsizer...

and... WOW! It goes like 2-3 times faster!

These cars that radioshack canada brought in are the same ones that www.carmoworld.com sells, and they're labelled as:

"CYclona"
"SUPER NEW BITCHAR-C CAR"

Talk about a cheap rip off... BUT! I only paid 20 bucks for it, and I got the following parts that are usable:

- Motor (super pimp speed!)
- Body (Silver Celica)
- Rear axle, gear, etc...
- Another Steering arm
- A charging base (part of the radio)
- An 80mAh NiCad battery

etc... All for 20 bucks!

Hey To all my homies form CANADA. There is a chinese toy store near the neghbourhood mall. I went there and baouight a lil car like the bit char g it was 20 bux. I played with it for a while but when i tried to mod it with an extra batt i mistakenly pulled off the wire for the turnin and couldnt solder it back on. IM planning on gettin and official Bit char g but theyre so darn expensive. The cheapest one ive seen is 69.99 ive seen clones for 30 dollars but i dont know about the quality. What do u guys think. The clones say bit char g but they have cheaper boxes and its apparent that theyr fake. But i care about performance not brand.... ohh and btw u guys have the sickest (best) site on micro cars. Keep up the good work...

ok well your best bet would be to order off of the net www.toyeast.com or here! www.tinyrc.com

ScottM · #4 11-29-2002, 04:27 PM

Yeah, seriously. Microsizers are like 40-50 bucks... they're as good as Bitcharg's IMHO.

I've got a few kicking around that I could sell ya if you want. I'll beat the LHS retail price + shipping.

You paid $35 for a clone??!?!?!?!?

$35 Canadian dollars is like 32 cents US..

Just kidding.

No, Canadian dollars are worth less than US dollars though; 35 Canadian is probably around 20-25 US.

*Grin* SO true.

I've bought like 3 RC cars off of ebay (big ones), and the exchange surprised me sometimes.

Yea, I kinda thought 35$ is a little too much, and I saw another clone car in my walmart flyer in this mornings paper, and the car is 20$, and it charges in 2 minutes. I'm going to go and check it out today when I go and buy some led's

www.Char-g.com has some good clones. I have one and it goes really good.

ScottM just a sidenote, BitChar-G IS Microsizers. BC-G is just the jap name, so I would assume they function equally (lol). Anyways, I got a shenqiwei for 10 dollars american. Fun stuff! it had a sticker on it that said MOM. Crazy drugged up factory workers...anyways nice bod, racing!

It was probably supposed to read WOW instead, but all they knew how to spell was MOM.
