      Sounds like these things have some real quality issues. Shame because the price is good and it’d be nice to have good quality alternatives to the Tomy cars!

      Still I’ll stand by what I’ve always said – Tomy makes the best Micro R/C I have seen….

      Question…. are the parts interchangable? Does anyone know? Is there any point?

      why not get that Bit char-g instead – two of my mates have them and Im fed up salivating when I listenn to the fun the’ve had.

      Going to out do them both though and get a mini-z and race-prep it big style … unless someone recommends otherwise ?

      i salvaged the dual nimh battery pack and split it for 2 separate 1.2v batteries. the motors quite cunky but it has 2 wires (1 black 1 red) coming out the end, has any body worked out how to adapt the motor?

      didnt bother fixing mine as i already own 2 official bcg’s, the steering doesnt work properly because of the plastic chassis being to long and the steering nuckles not being big enough.
