actually, that one is considered to be QUITE good. Problem is, it gets even more expensive. You need a body, servos, electronics, etc, I think. . .

Can I ask what you bought?



JMT: Actually, 2 years ago, my family went with another family on a camping trip in minnesota. Basically, we went to the boundry waters area, canoed all day(OH GOD. THE SEARING ARM PAIN that night!), and we camped on an island for a week. I learned many things during that trip, including that leeches really aren't that bad, and pike are pretty fiesty.

Similarly, I ate ramen noodles. Actually, I sorta like the taste!

Wait, college in two years. Ramen noodles, here I come! I need audio gear and rc car stuff, right?

Yellow RX7, 57MHz booster machine, gear set 03 and multi-controller. Just the thing for the break room at work.

I have one myself -- wonderful car.

Does anyone know anything about these?


RTR Bit Char-G with unique round transmitter/charger. Requires 2 AA batteries.





How do they differ from the more expensive ones?
These are only $16.99.

Those are the cheaper versions. Basically, you get about 90% of the "real" thing. The original Tomy cars give you a better body, etc. For fooling around with, they are fine. But for more involved things, the originals are better. Most of them still accept original tomy upgrades. Engines, etc.

So what are the best RC Car forums?

well, I've been hanging around www.tinyrc.com and www.mini-zracer.com. These are mainly made for smaller scale cars(1/18, 1/24, smaller). There are links up the wazoo. . .

HI ALL
I kind of got into mini rc cars and ended up making a pair!
Time consuming madness but I like them.
And they go like hell.

ive seen those tomy char mini rc cars before in chinatown store.

and the person said it cost some 40 dollars. Woah. is that a rip off?

I said i was only looking.

Just saw the quicktime vid. they do look fast. And very agile on the table. i wonder how the toy sounds like.

45 sec charge for few mins of play. fun.

I paid $35 shipped. Pretty expensive, I suppose. But 45 sec charges for 5 minutes of play time sounds perfect.

EVERYTHING is upgradeable too. I like. And they are fast and handle well, which will let me play with them on my tables.
