These things fly too, but I wouldn't suggest paying $20. That's way to high. I found a few places that sell them for under $10 and delivery was VERY fast. I bought the red one. They flip just as much as the motorcycles though. :(

EDIT: They come with Dual Batts too! Only one pair of the rear wheels are motor operated. All-in-All it was a great addition to my collection.

whered you find em so cheap? lemme know please.

Kens Shop

If you decide to order more then just the SEMI, email him about the shipping. I once ordered two of everything and the shipping was over $60. I emailed him and he dropped it to like $15 bucks. He sells all of the decent clones (Panthers, Shens and Charg'n Go's). He even has the Rats, Skateboards, and Motorcycles. None of them were that fun for myself, but my cat would tell you differently. She has almost eaten the entire head off the rat.

..what brand are they?..do the bodys fit on bits and m/s?..

sessiz10 03-04-2003 05:06 PM

Thanks for the link stridex. I just ordered me 3 of them.:D
I have a 6x4 chassis with a dual motor setup but it's been a bitch building the body.

I'd guess they are made by Bensu.

The bodies won't fit Bits without some heavy modifications. It can be done though.

I have 2 1.6 zip motors in there and a layman's dual cell.

...thats f*@%!ng awsome how much would u sell one of those bad boys for?..i dont have that kind of time on my hands!..

SlowbutCourious 03-04-2003 05:48 PM

...i would praise that tequilla not blame it!!!:D

Stridex 03-04-2003 05:48 PM

I love it. Are those also the red zip gears?

That's a very clean job. It looks like the Rigs body will fit that. The reason these Rigs flip so often is because the batteries are above the chassis. Your's will probably flip too (just cos' the high body) but not nearly as much. I've found a great way to prevent all my cars from flipping. It also improves the look. I got the idea from the Mario Cart (now my favorite micro to play with). I'm going to start another thread with pics in the next few days.

I just bought two of them off of EBAY and paid like $22.00 shipped for both of them. I think I paid like $7.50 each plus shipping...

I've never thought about selling, but if your serious shoot me off an email with what you'ld be willing to pay for one. It's pretty easy to make but I can understand the lack of time thing all too well.

The gears are bit stock gears (orange ones) and thanks for the compliments.

got BITS? 03-04-2003 07:54 PM

I'm thinking of buying a Shen & a truck. Can eanyone post pics of the truck with the body off. Since it had dual bats I may be able to chop the rear wheels off & some other stuff off & put a bit body on.

got BITS? 03-04-2003 07:59 PM

Umm there are no Shens....

Went into Books A Million today and found one semi truck on the counter at the register. Bought it for $8.95. Not sure what size motor is in it but it flys faster than my RX7 MS. Notice that the gears are on the opposite side.:eek: Forgive the pics. First time at this.

Here's another shot with the body on.

SlowbutCourious 03-25-2003 01:19 PM

..do they have 2 wheels on the back axles? or 4?a total of 6 or 12??

TheMechanic 03-25-2003 11:11 PM

Just 6 wheels total.
My plans are to build a lowboy trailer to haul two microsizers. I have some truck axles from a AFX slot car set that I am going to use. Soon as I figure out the frame for the trailer I should have some pictures of the finished trailer soon.

rt450 03-26-2003 12:50 AM

i bought a couple of miesto trucks with trailers for mine. one's a white ford racing box trailer, and the other is a black and yellow car carrier. the carrier is mostly metal, so i had to do a full size front wheel mod and put weight in the front to be able to steer. i put slot car wheels on the back of the other one because they're wider, and it doesn't flip in the turns.the trailers aren't quite the right size, but they drive and look cool.
