      I just got one of those Bit Char-A. It has a motor with a red cap. A green pinion gear. white gear sets. And everything else is all same. But this car’s performence is way better than the stock BCGs. I bought it for $20AUD. The acceleration of this car is really good(same as a dual battery for the first 20cm). But the top speed is not as fast as a dual battery. everything is better than the stock BCG(include price). even the tire set is better. they has alot of grip. I did a dual battery(external) on that car. And the car will do wheelie everytime it start(i didn’t let it go backwards then press forward) even if i put the extra battery at the very front of the car. The car still go faster than other dual battery BCGs i have when i put a AAA battery on it(just for weight,not connect the the circuit).I check the PCB between BCA and BCG, they r a bit different. So the question I have is what could the motor be?

      Leon, have you tried the motor in a bit char-g?
      And what is the gear ratio???
      What battery is this baby running?? Is it the same as tomy’s?

      Somehow the motor’s opposite end of cap is different shape as BCGs so it can’t fit the BCG chassis. The gear is white colourd, so i don’t know the gear ratio. i think it’s same as the orange gears. THe pinion gear is 8 teeth. It’s the latest series of Bit Char-A so it’s a bit different from the older series. This series called “Precolors”. (maybe it’s the same name as the older series). It has a light grey chassis with a Yellow Ni-Cd 60mah McNair Battery. So anyone know what the motor might be? a 3.8? but i don’t think it will give that much torque.

      8 tooth pinion!!!! i got a pink set with a car called race master tornado and they f@rk!ng fly!!!
      the motor might be a new 4.0??? from my xp tho some clones use cheaper parts which creates a bit more power than a standard bcg.
      all i know is that gear set is hot stuff, the pinion wont fit into a standard chassis without a bit of a shave but combine it with a clone pink 3.8 and a lightened supra chassis for a winning race machine!!!

      I didn’t got this from the internet so it’s hard for u guys to get it. I live in Melbourne. two weeks ago i was shopping in Greensbourgh Plaza(Melway 20 right hand corner). not in a shop but someone setup a table with all those Bit Char-As on them. There were also some Hummers, and some Hotrods. Now I can’t find that guy anymore. But i saw some same looking but different brand ones for $13(start this Thursday for 1 week) in The Warehouse. So i will go there and buy some of them. I also saw new Series 2 Compact Char-gs in Kmart’s Catalogue(for next week). THey sell them for $40 now. On the catalogue they show a RX7 red 27mhz. I think series 2 should have NSX too.
      The Holden/HRT microRC cars will sell for $30 in Kmart next week too. So i will spend alota money next week. :approve:

      yeap :approve:. . . . .

      So far I have only bought clones. . .

      under normal circumstances I don’t sponsor reverse engineering but tomy have had a long time to developement better steering/throttle control, they are not the leaders in the top motors either.

      I’m thinking a Holden/HRT microRC car needs to be added to my collection I’m off to Kmart now :smiley2:

      Ops my mistake. The $20 ones i got is “Precious”. I think they are the new series brought out by Bit Char-A. The $13 ones i mentioned are absolutely crap. when i saw them i quickly walked away.

      Do these clones go in a straight line or do they stray off centre after a metre ?

      I’ve been put off clones now purely because they can’t go straight for more than 2 metres.

      If anyone knows how to make them go straight, I’d be interested to know.

      Cheers,

      Kevin.:)

      I am not really sure about the motor. The motor doesn’t fit Bit Char-g’s chassis.

      I bought a Metallic Blue Celica “Precious”. THey are the new series of Bit Char-A. It is pretty good.(better than a stock BCG) but i think u have to have some luck to get a good one.

      do you mean, they perform bad, or they look bad?

      And the bodies DO fit on char gs?

      The bodies fit on char-gs perfectly. but the motors doesn’t. u need some luck to get a good performance one. the shells, u can see them from outside the cover. so u can pick a good one.
