Where is the best place to buy bit char-g and lxx char-g cars? I have been looking at toyeast.com and they seem to have good prices but they apparently get you on the shipping. I have also been looking at www.cosmogames.com. What would be the best/cheepest option?? I want one of the 4 sets of lxx's and one bit char-g with acessories (wheels, gears and motors).BTW I am in australia.

I just bought my first BitChar-G. A 57Mhz Rx7 1.1 motor. My wife bought a Z-car at half the price-$20. The Z -car came with a 2.2 motor. What really disapointed me about the BitChar-G was the short Range. The Z-car had twice the range of the BitChar-G.
I removed the crippler capacitor from the controller and tweaked the POT with some improvement. I also learned that the car itself has a crippler capacitor which can be removed, I think I'll try that next. I found this site very useful.

I examined the Z-car and the BitChar and I think they are nearly Identical. I doubt I'll buy any more BitChars.

Hey, i just read your article off google, and surprisingly every part of it is Ture except there are no cons for me. i can wait 45 seconds. im looking forward to getting a Bit Char-G soon. I have a Thunder Bolt Racing Car, which is just like a bit char-g but it comes in a little dome and hte base of the dome is the controler! its relaly cute but it really only last for 2 minutes... What a DRAG!! even though the Bit Char-G controler is bulkier and square i stil want one! of course the are Pros! it goes faster, longer and its more durable. but i cant find any stores that have them around my hood' just showing some names, do u think they have em here:?¿ Cosmic Cards and Comics. Collectors universe, Stand up comics. collectors corner, wizards of the cost,i forgot the rest.. i know u can get htem off sites but it takes shipping, and my parents dont trust it for some reason... going back to your article.. That is evil what u did to your Dog!! but hey it gets excercise... (HEY MOM IM GOING TO WALK THE DOG!!! LOL) my friend once made his dog chase it and the dog crashed into the table! so i guess he is the eviler one!(Dr. Evil Pinky to your mouth Manuever). well your article has really helped me.. And my dad to start collecting them. LOL THANKS!

Hi, i managed to stumble accross this page whilst looking for info about a watch!! Anyway i have been reading and getting well into this tiny litlte R/C car. I have had a look at a load of the pictures and sizes and i am now looking on the ToyEast.com site and trying to choose one to buy but i have a few questions i hope you can answer:

Is a 3.0 motor better / faster than a regular one (although i don't know what a regular one is).

I'v ebeen looking at the BULLET ST and the *LXX* cars and can you please tell me what is better or faster. I notice the packages look different, is there any better one or are they just different looking?

Cheers for your help
Matt

hey i was reading your problem with your bit-chargG......try looking at the suspension in the front of the car. take the screw off under the circuit board then unclip the plastic in the front and make sure evrything is in working order

this is the stupidest question, but are the ones u have to build urself better than the alrelady slapped together ones? i watch how the moon sits in the dark night, shining from the light from the sun, the sun doesnt give light to the moon assuming, the moons gonna owe it one, reminds me how u act for me u do favors there rapidly then u turn around and start asking me for things that u want back from me im sick of the tension sick of the hunger sick of u acting like i owe u this, find another place to feed ur greed while i find a place to rest! -Linkin Park "A Place For My Head"

To ansewr your question i think the onees u build yourself would be better in my opinion.
Maybe because someone who put the parts in could have messed things up so its better to put things in yourself.....

Dual Battery and Dual Motors. Enjoy the pics. It's done sloppy, but my only goal was to see if it would work. Great torque!

i jut bought three gar g
im in canada and you will crap yorself when you hear the price!
20! its a 2.2 engin and wow! they move
the one thing i dont like to much is the fact thet all three are a little different, one is super fast and all around the best, and when it dies it stops right now, (g-01)its a cyclona (panthor). the cyclona (flygoon) g-02 is a little slower and wont climb a little jump i made, gennrally it has less tourque, and when it dies it slows down for a long time and never really dies compleatly. and the g-04 is slowest and dies in 2 minutes. runs rough too. not sure why they are different, small batteries, mabye the smal 60 mah battery is hard to make all the same. i love them and we still have great races evan with them all dfferent.
cant wait till the tracks and pther stuff are available.

Hey all! I'm new here, but I'm about to get a new Bit-CharG!!! It is a Subaru WRX white. I'm so happy! OH yah- I've got 2 questions:

1)What motor should I get for my new car?

2)What batteries can I use and where can I get them?

Thanks all who answer this. Check my later posts for when I get my new buddy and what you can do with yours.

MicroSizers VS MicroRacers VS Bit Charg-G

(I went to Rcmicroracers.com)


Which is the best considering Pros/Cons?

I am planning on buying one of these three cars...And if I'm pleased I will buy another to race with (Unless my brother buys one)

Anyway, if you could help me out that would be GREAT!

OK, I've done some major research and I have now figured out that I'm an idiot....


Doh'


The MicroSizers are the US version of the Bit Char-G...The MicroRacers are just the racing version of the MicroSizers/Bit Char-G.

If you don't understand I'll try to explain it again...If I'm wrong let me know...

Ok, you guys, i admit it. Ebay works. Kinda.Im still searching for a really good price for a Subaru Imperza WRX white. The lowest i found is 35.00(US) can anyone tell mewhere to find it cheaper? I also need to know 2 things: what motor should i get for my new Bit? And, can I use standard Duracell or Energizer AA batteries, or do i have to use Alkaline batteries? If i can't have Duracell or Energizer, where can i get Alkaline?

Thanks all who can help me (noone really answered my original question)
