      How have they made the new char g’s look as if they are lower to the ground, is it the chassis, body, or wheels? Also, are the current char g bodies compatible with the new chassis?

      They have enlarged the rims and thinned the tires…also the body fits lower on the chassis, ie, they have moved the mounting slots UP…The chassis itself has been deepened, ie, it sits lower to the ground…it looks like the cripple chip has been removed too…One of the whole things with the ‘Super-Car’ movement of the 70’s was the lowness of the cars and their width…at the time Japan was still relatively wide and big and clunky…hence the dream of all the japanese children wanting a ‘super-car’…All those children are now adults and TOMY is betting on the hope that all these parents, now with disposable income, go out and get bits for themselves and their children…Next question? 🙂

      wow!! cool… lowered char-g’s they’d prolly look good… =) anyway are the old ones incompatible to the new ones? ie the chassis incompatible to the new casings or the old casings incompatible to the new chassis…

      First Generation shells / bodies WILL FIT on Second Generation chassis and vice versa…We are TRYING to get a sample but TOMY is being very tight lipped about the whole thing…Same as usual…lol…

      oohhh, me likes the idea of lower bits… prefer the wider stance of fat rubber tho, its the only thing keeps my cars upright and in control!! Like the idea of larger rims too. How bout some pics soon, eh Bithed??

      sorry if these questions have been answered already or if they are stupid, but bithead do you work at Tomy? and are the new bits gonna have hubcaps that are interchangable?

      is it a fairlady 350 zz or is it a red playin’ 350z?

      f1 style speed change predicted, it would be the perfect way to show the superior design that goes into bit manufacture. and there fore the only avenue to promote the “supercar idea”.

      what colour is the major release (chassis and shell) of the porche and contach?

      im one of those freaks who likes yellow and white lambos:blush:

      but the 911 silver and the red lambo are what i’ll have to start with.

      (not so) basic kits. so when can we get em????

      what year is the 911 from? anyone? a local driver is using an old one for the targa rally in tasmania this year.

      do you all think that other bodies will look poor on top of the traditional five holed lambo wheels? if so, with the new cars is it possible to buy new wheels or do you have to buy a whole car kit to swap wheels?
