Hi, im do not yet own a bit char-g... but i want to soon. I was looking for something to start with (no prior experience with bit char-g's) but I dont know what type of setup to get.

What would you guys recomend? I dont want to spend any more than 25 (for now).

I thought this might be kinda cool... its 18 shipped. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...763305557&rd=1

TIA

Well tr3 I'm glad you posted your question here first, since that ebay item is a FAKE, which in and of itself is not bad...It's the fact that the seller is WILLFULLY MISLEADING YOU into thinking it's the real deal!

I've gone ahead and stickied a post on how to tell a fake from a genuine product.

Check it out and KNOW what you're getting and don't let JERKS like that ebay seller fool you!

I don't know where to buy an original for $25, but if you put $10 more with it I'm sure that tinyrc will have something. most of the kits are equal, so the only question left is which body style do you prefer? upgrade parts as you go along..

Good Luck, hope this helps

I forgot to tell you to just look in the parts shop at the top of the page....

I like alot of the models i saw (including- s2000, celica, supra, skyline, ect.), Anyone recomend a good site to buy from? Sofar ive been looking on mostly ebay. I found a Toyota Celica (Black) + 3.0 Motor + Tire Set = 40 shipped.

Are there any retailers on the forums that an offer me a deal?

Buy the celica. It sounds like a good deal if it's an original.
Good starter set......

You can check my website (in my signature) in the Links section I have a bunch of online stores that sell the Micro cars.

sounds like a deal. If your impatient i dunno, but if your willing to wait a while(im guessing its overseas because of the extras), then cool. tiny and this one site sell the same price. Im trying to think of teh name cuz i bought choroQs from them at iRev. lemme get the ad, here jdmtoys.com hope that helps.

kbtoyz902 · #10 09-04-2002, 02:51 AM

ok, they were as cheap as tiny during the car show. guess not on the site. The kits are a bit more, but still a decnent buy. Your better off with ebay though, just dont get scammed.

rl0725 is the name of an ebay user I just bought from in Hong Kong. Same deal. It was a real Tomy Honda S2000, plus 3.0 motor, plus the Bit Racer Tire set. Buy it now was $32.50 plus $8 shipping air from Hong Kong. I used Paypal and the package arrived in 6 days! I am ordering a gear set from same user now.

This was the smoothest transaction I can remember, and I use ebay a lot.

If you are in the U.S. wait for microsizers. They have already come to my neighborhood and they should be in yours soon, if not already! They are the same quality as the original Bits, and I found mine for 29.99 at a local store.

tinyrc · #13 09-05-2002, 11:08 AM

Yep, they'll be available in the Shop tomorrow for the lowest legal price of $29.99!

Tiny...what is your shipping rate for a microsizer?

tinyrc · #15 09-06-2002, 05:36 PM

$5, and that's via Priority so it'll get there in 2-3 days (most places use UPS ground which can take a week or more).
