The further I’ve delved into the world of Micro R/C the more brands and models I’m coming across.
At first i thought it was Mini-Zs and BCG, but now i find Radi-Cans, Radi-Books, Audley Tin Cars, Micro RS4, Indoor Racer & mini-X to name just a few.
So now I’m really confused. The stores often don’t make it clear what scale the cars are, and photos are no guide to size. So what i’d liek to see is a definitive list of makes and scales. and perhaps some form of basic info on whetrher they are radio or IR, pre-assembled or kit form, toys or racing suitable.
Also, whats popular? obviously BCG andf Mini-Zs are, but when i was talking to a friends workmates who races micro r/c they’d never seen a BCG or Mini Z! Found out they were racing Taiyo Radi-Cans!
Anyway, perhaps you could use this thread to enlighten myself and other newcomers to the world.
