  probably the shen! its pretty dang fast. i am even more partial to the prescous clone because of its compatibility to bits. but shen is second on my list! (the motor on the shen is like a zip-zap motor. slightly larger..

  cyclonas do go damn fast. the motors are not the secret though, its cheapo parts! raw power is what these ugly ducklings are about. noisy speed.
  if they are up against bcg’s most clones WILL kick ass.
  
  ‘ere we go….

  the “loose caboose” syndrome is another factor,on one clone the rear axle is so loose that when u pick it up it drops 3mm! no need for lube! the only prob is the crap clone tyres.
  
  i hate the way my bog standard $30 cyclonas are so much better on the track than my tomy bcg’s, especially when: 1xcompact =$50
  1xkit racer (2.6) =$25
  1x gearset = $15
  1xsuspension kit= $15
  1xtireset = $15
  1x afx springs =$1
  1x nimh cell = $4
  total= $125.
  
  you would think that a $ 120 bit could kickass but it doesnt mean didlysqaut!

  i’m partial to the Shen Qi. they ride straight, are smooth and not 2 loud.
  
  Are the Shen Qi cars fully compatible with Bits? I mean everything but the motor?
