chris, why would sony bother making a portable unit with palm when the refurbished ps1 with lcd fitted takes all of their 1000’s of games.
have u seen the new x-men fighting game? or the damn fine WOLVERINE solo game for ps2 yet? check out hyper magazine in oz
Just telling you what I’ve read! Do a Google search for Sony+Palm+Handheld and see what comes up.
I’m not too sure what this X-Men fighting game is you mention, but if its anything like the past ones – I’m not holding my breath. However, ‘Wolverines Revenge’ or something like that, can’t remember exactly, looks awesome – I’ll definitely be getting that for my PS2, Cube or PC.
K.I.T.T so you press the trigger once and it drives normally, then you press it down further and you get the boost right? Thats pretty awesome man :smiley1:
Also, i believe super hornet may have the same chassis etc.
:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( is it too late to order a kyosho mini-z, cause i deperately want one and i cant get one down here for under 350 AUD!!!
reuel where did the price from ???
If you charge the cell at 1 A it will self destruct. Trust me, 1ts 20C , wheres the max is about 5C.
I cut about 2 links off.
Yes I used the springs a while ago. The ones that hold the contacts on the track. Exept i got about ten for nothing.
I’m 34 and live in Sydney.
no sorry I dont I saw them along time ago just cant remember where.
It cost a total of $64.55 Australian for the 2 cars and shipping.
I think it’s exciting for everyone – becuase it is a HUGE change to where Derek and I will be devoting our time and resources.
I know it’s tought to wait it out but we will be revealing more as details get cemented into place.
Well i took it back yesterday, they had no others in stock, so they gave me a full refund with no questions asked. 🙂
Now i just have to wait and find another shop with stock.
Is this someDIY booster system? Man that’s talent =)
This is the kind of thing you need for controlling a booster car:
The trigger control is off some cheap Nikko R/C car and didn’t work so I wired it up to behave like an ordinary joystick for Spectrums/Amigas etc., only the trigger controller has two forward settings which would be ideal for wiring up to the booster button.

Of course. Its easy to do yourself. All you need are some LED, wire and a Lithium battery. Click here for more details. Also, check out their main site for tons more mods by clicking here.
Or if your lazy, like me, hehe, or want a professional looking result (and I’m not exagerating – this guy is sh*t hot with a precision soldering iron!) then check out Mikes Mods. This guy is amazing! You should see some of the stuff hes made. The ‘Ultimate Light Mod’ is the must have IMO. Anyway, have a broswe.

No problem. I know how confusing it can be – and I also know people get ripped off by some scrupulus sellers trying to flog OEM at Bit Char-G prices plus some.
Now why have I not put that information on my site…duh!

There you go! Told you someone else would fill that bit in :smiley2:
Thanks Payaso, I thought they were Tomy but wasn’t positive. Cheers.

Hi Toretto.
To avoid confusion, heres a breakdown of what Bit is what!
‘Tomy Bit Char-G’
These are the ‘real deal’! The originals. Only available in Japan (or import shops).
Uppers: Bigger selection of models/cars to choose from. There are currently 24 models.
Downers: You will need to import these or find a local shop/auction that has done the importing part for you. I believe AusMicro actually sell them. Drop Aaron or Derek and e-mail or PM.
‘Tomy Compact Char-G’
These are exactly the same as ‘Tomy Bit Char-G’ just the Oz/UK/Eur(?) release. I beleive they changed the title becasue in Japan ‘Bit’ is a hobby – a big thing, here it is not known. So they changed it to ‘Compact’ which best describes them I guess! They are exactly the same, only difference is the frequencies.
Uppers: You can get them in your local Toys ‘R’ Us. Another being the frequency differs from the ones sold in Japan, thus meaning you can race more then 4. Lastly,parts are100% compatible with their Japanese counterparts.
Downers: Limited selection to chose from. Only 2 models.
‘Micro Sizers’
These are Americas version of the Bit Char-G. I’m not too clued up on these – I’m not even sure if Tomy make them!? I’m sure somebody else will fill you in.
‘LXX Char-G’
These are whats known as ‘OEM’. They are basically identical to the above two but they are not made by ‘Tomy’. They are generally a lot cheaper then the above two as they cost a lot less to construct. They produce their own components/parts at a lower cost – thus resulting in the lower price tag. This is just one type of ‘OEM’ (more below) and I’ve mentioned it because its the only ‘OEM’ worth geting.
Uppers: Low price tag. Frequency of ‘OEM’ cars may vary to the ‘Tomy’ ones meaning you can race more then four cars!
Downers: In general, ‘OEM’s use lower quality parts which may/can result in shoddy build quality. Like I said above, the LXX shouldn’t suffer from those afflcitions as they are good quality ‘OEM’s.
‘Other OEM’
Basically these are any others that do not have ‘Tomy’ written on the box and are priced noticeably lower then the real-deal. ‘OEM’s include:
- China Island Bullet – Not a bad OEM, not as good as LXX.
- Leyu Thunder Bit Char-A – Again, on par with the Bullet.
- Leyu Bullet – Same as above.
- Leyu Treasure – Same as above. Comes with neat controller!
- Leyu Light-up – Same as above. Comes with lights.
- ST Bit Char-G Bullet GP – A motorbike! Don’t get too excited, they are truly awful!
- Huale Mini Racing Car – Make Ferraris. Again, don’t get too excited!
- Smartland Cubic – My worst OEM experience! These things are nasty! Steer clear.
[/list]
There are others floating around but they’re all pretty much the same. Some have slight advantages over others.
Uppers: Cheap. Easy to find. Can be good value for money. Good for varying frequencies. Good for parts/mods.
Downers: Inferior. Prone to faults. Some dodgy places charge OTT prices making out they are the real Tomy ones – be careful. Can’t think of much more…
Hope this helps!? :smiley2:
Also, did you know that Origin #1 is valued at about ?20!!!? I got one :smiley4:
Pinch away! I didn’t create it, I found it on the net somewhere – so credit due to the original creator. WTH is a ‘Johnny Lightning Pack’?:smiley5:
Lol! Wolvie in a Beetle :smiley4: I can’t really picture that! Hes more of a motorbike man!
Have I got Origin yet? Does mouse sh*t roll? I’m the biggest Wolvie fanboy out there :smiley1: I’ve got the whole 1988 – present series, the 1982 Frank Miller ltd series, the 1982 Spidey vs. Wolvie and jsut about every ltd series, GN and one-shot comic book he’s been in! Have you read Origin? What did you think of it? I really enjoyed the story and the artwork – I don’t understand why people slated the series!? :smiley5:
By the way, how much do US comics retail in Oz? The US cover price for Wolvie is $2.25 (?1.45 or AUD$4.12)but I’m actually charged about ?1.75 (AUD$4.99) once the comic shop owner has added his bit!
There are some laws in the UK also – but I’m not sure about fines. Nobody really seems to know what the laws are regarding R/F in great detail.
