super bit Vs Std bit

[charg-man]

Anyone tell me which is better, the super char-g or the std char-g? Can you get parts and mods for both?

As stock, a SBCG is better, But it can’t be Multi-Celled or MOSFET Mod. So there isn’t any major mods for it. In BCG, u can do both multicell mod and mosfet mod which can bring ur Bit to quite insane speed(uncontrollable).
SBCG is lower and as stock it deliever more current to the motor than a BCG. But once a BCG stock got mosfeted, it will deliever more current to the motor than a SBCG.
If u don’t want to do many Mods on ur Bit, just get a SBCG for fun. If u r serious about speed, get a BCG and it’ll be very fast with a few mods done to it.

the controller is another factor. the sbcg is by far superior.
independant buttons, better switches, an improved charging plate and telescopic aerial make for a big improvement over the box-like original controller.

if you do have a lot of freinds and are intending to build tracks then sbcg is the winner also. bcg has 4 frequencies (27,35,40 and 57) where as sbcg has 6 (27a,27b,27c,40a,40b and 40c).
and if you have ever been a collector in your life of any sort then you might also consider that collecting multiples is a bit of a waste.

the shells and chassis are a vast improvement in the sbcg range, far more detailed.

the sbcg and bcg both use the same parts, although the ease of switching front rims on the sbcg is a matter of unclipping Vs. having to remove pcb cover, lifting pcb, unscrewing then dissasembling front end (dont loose the steering spring!) swapping the new front wheels in and then reversing the whole process.

sbcg official upgrade kits are available and contain more than the bcg kits do. there are two types, speed and technical. they both contain a mix of parts i.e the speed one has gears and suspension. bcg kits come in four varieties: tires,motors, gears and suspension.

hope this helps…

i have to admit and agree with z-beam, the bodies on the super bits are really cool and very detailed.

the first series bits are okay but they lack the detail.

Thanks! although I find that I can find parts for the BCG on ebay/web but as yet not much with the SBCG. Can the suspension, gears, motors etc be interchangeable between the two? I hear the SBCG have different chassis set-ups.

[charg-man]

Where do I buy the upgrade kits for the SBCG? Very limited for choice where I am! I already have a BCG but am looking at buying a SBCG, good itea or not?

Everyone has forgotten one major issue with the SBCG’s!!!!!!

Some SBCG’s (not all I’m led to believe) suffer from the very annoying trait of remembering the last command sent to them. So at the edge of your range the car doesn’t really stop but can go off in all directions.

Also some SBCG’s are twitchy with their commands.

Personally I would just buy the regular BCG’s and then put the SBCG pullback shells on them

Sounds to me that the BCG may the best choice to race and mod where as the SBCG are more for show, would that be right?

[z-beam]

charg-man, are you in a city or town or out in the countryside?

i live 2km out of my town, where there is no mobile phone signal and the only time i get any problems with any of my cars is when someones useing my cordless housephone.

when the power is low, and when u drive too far it does keep going. which does get annoying sometimes. one out of three of my sbcg’s has NONE of these problems, it is a 27a.

and as far as racing goes, out of the box an sbcg will beat the standard everytime.

Yeah, that sucks huh?

But i’ve found out that with the antenna from the bit char-g controllers is the way to solve it(i think its called an aerial).

However it must be done right. The antenna is going to sit there, really. Any “looseness”, and you are back where you started.

But done right, i can even run a 4.2 in my sbcg’s, which i couldnt before… And the range is now 6 meters or so, in my room.

out of the box with no mods the sbcg is the winner. if you plan on fiddling with the electrics then bcg is the fave. all bcg, sbcg parts are compatible. and if you start buying clones you can have 6 frequencies :8ball:

[z-beam]

true evo, i run a supposed “king perfection 4.2”
in my monster super bit and i get at least 5 meters out of it.

it goes really well. and does decent jumps and it hasn’t had any electrical mods done to it at all.

after using a sbcg controller for a while the bcg controller feels so crappy.
its like a playstation controller Vs. an atari 2600 joystick!
