      hey all. i got a z-car by atomic toys. this is the best looking competition against the bcg. the crappy part is the body which is as nice as the bcg’s but is just a generic car design. the chassis is CLEAR!!! yes, just like cell phone clear. it looks cool. the motor is a direct match for the bcg. the most interesting part is that it takes 3, yes 3 AAA batteries. i gotta try it out tonight. i’ll post the report. as far as the OEM bullets, they suck and some parts are NOT interchangeable. i tried 2 bullets as my reference. oh yeah, there is also a light on the z-car, right where the antenna slides through before it goes up through the chassis. peace b

      ok. my findings are that they are very worthy of buying. i got mine for $20 usd. the only 2 gripes i have are the bodies are generic (but are well made and very nice quality) and i broke the magnet off already. well actually, i didn’t, but my GF did. gotta glue it back with good glue. the car does light up in forward and reverse. maybe i can mod it for headlights. the engine sound comes from the controller and the controller has funky lights. the reception was pretty good. the tires are very well made and thicker than the bit char. the speed was good too, it said it had a 2.2 motor. steering was good when i drove it. pics should be up at my website in a few days when my account starts to work correct again. peace b

      ps. my updated site will have pics of the first downhill BCG race. and i took a video of it.

      I just bought one of these also, the range is pretty good on it, he chassis is the exact same thing as the bit, the only things i don’t like are the bodies look weak, the gears grind really bad, and that stupid motor noise. other than that the car runs pretty good.

      huh, weird. mine runs smooth, and the body looks solid, as good as a bit char, but more defined. oh yeah. i also just noticed it is a NIMH battery.and it says to charge it 3 times before first driving it. damn, i should’ve brough the instructions to the race. laters b

      also, this is the first company that was thinking when they made the car. they melted the plastic above the steering spring, so that the spring wouldn’t fall off anymore and get lost. i guess you can put that mod into the database. thanks to atomic toys z-car. lates b

      Sounds EXACTLY like the ODM car that ToyEast sells.
