      Dimmeys in Richmond (Vic) are selling Bullet looking things for $9.95.
      They’re pretty crap – slow, very soft bodies (I’ve broken the front clip bit off mine already), but they do seem to have decent range.
      Pity those chunky tyres don’t quite fit a Tomy.

      that shell looks mad, are they stickers or decals on it? And are they compatible with bit char-g’s?

      -They’re stickers, and easy to remove.
      -The shell fits on a char-g, but it stops the rear wheels from turning. Probably wouldn’t take much to get it working though.
      -The tyres fit, but they’re too big and stop the plastic bit over the circuit board clipping in properly. And the front tyres made my Tomy go wobbly.
      -Motor is wired back to the battery/circuit board.

      So there’s not really anything that can be used for a char-g.

      There’s a few bodies available. I couldn’t identify what they were. Most of them sort of look like Mitsubishis… but crossed with WRXs and Mercs.

      that evo-ish looking thing looks decent yet very high…
