LOL @ Gt-ahh, berry beryy sneaky sir
Bit Racer=KIT racer thats where your 3.0 motor has come from so its exactly the same rating as it would be in a BCG.
the KIT racer gears dont work aswell with a BCG becos of the weight of the BCG and lack of torque the motor can deliver, if you really want to use the KIT gears then i suggest using a dual Cell Car or soemthing with ALOT of power
Damn collecting tasmanians, wish i had such a community
Bah! Go to HLJ.com
They sell them cheaper and don’t increase their price every month… I bought my Mini Z from Hobbico Sydney then I realised how expensive and unhelpful they were compared to internet shops.
Look around people these people rip you off on Mini Z parts… seriously..
Good place for Mini Z parts and racers is ToyEast.com as well.
I’m in Sydney with my Bro… Chatswood/Carlingford area… looking to race anyone who’s willing… Stock motor, upgraded shocks and bang up bodies from Mini Z tag… and light sets for night driving ROCK!!!! Got all my spares and accessories form Toyeast. I suggest you guys follow suit 😉
Kind Regards,
Jeremy
Cost at the moment would prob be free, but we might need to chip in a few bucks a month each so we can have our own night of racing. Theres a few people i know that want to race, so i think this is going to be a weekly thing, so any hobart people please post so we can get lots of people there = ) Its a sweet track cant wait to start !!

i dont get what you mean:smiley5:
i can’t return it…i bought it off eBay
hey do the kit racer motors work in compact char-g? and how fast are they in a compact char-g if they do? also are the rear axels useable in a compact?
Man your track looks way cool! what have you used for the base and paint? the bridge looks realy smooth and i think it will handle well! i have a nano racer and two char-g’s i find when i put the pink nanoracer motor in a bit char-g it would go like a 3.0 with great acceleration! but i also am unhappy with the quality of the nanoracer
Bit of a long post but here it goes,
After purchasing one Bit clone just before Christmas, then receiving two other OEM Bullet clones for christmas and then getting myself an original Bit Char-G (well Australian Compact Char-G) I have quickly filled my garage so to speak with four of these cool little machines.
After a bit of “searfing” I haven?t been able to find any reference to either of the types of clones that I have got.
The first clone I purchased the other week from Toyworld in Tasmania is called a Micro Super Charger (MSC) and is made by a company called ENERTEC Enterprises.
The body shell is a black Subaru WRX on 27Mhz, but they also had I think a white WRX and two different colour PT Cruisers with one other frequency available.
The car has a straight spring steel aerial rather than a plastic coated wire which looks kinda cool and tends to improve the appearance of the car. The body is held in place with a single screw, and the shape of the body looks I think a bit more scale than some others. There is no cover over the PCB and the car windows are clear.
The car has 2 Ni-MH cells, which to me look really tiny, and the transmitter takes 4 AAA cells. As with most the transmitter is the charger for the car, but the clip down mechanism is a little different on this one than my Bit and the bullet clones and works really well.
The transmitter is styled more like your full size R.C. transmitter with two actual ?sticks? that are modeled to look like small wheels with tyres. The aerial is a black telescopic job which swings from being parallel to the top of the transmitter body, to 90 degrees to point away from you when in use.
There is a clear cover that lifts up to allow the car to be charged up and it is shaped to allow the cover to be clipped back down with the car in position for storage and carrying around. There is also a belt clip on the back to well?. clip it on your belt I guess!!
This little sucker really flies, on the lino in the kitchen it is virtually uncontrolable, donuts galore and heaps (twice plus?) more speed than my standard Bit and the other bullet clones. On carpet it is much more driveable, with plenty of speed still and no spinouts. I think I would safely say that this car is faster on carpet than my standard Bit is on a smooth surface!! The packaging said something along the lines of scale speed of 300 k/ph!! Not too sure about anyone else but I never believe that sort of stuff. I do know that this car is really fast though!!
Steering is poor with very uneven turning circle from right to left and there also seems to be a bit of delay from releasing the control stick from forward to neutral before the motor actually stops. Perhaps half a second!!
The other ?Bullet? clones I got are called Nano Racers (NR). My Brother bought them from one of the TV mail order companies I think, and they came as a pair in a cardboard box with ?Tiny Toys? printed on it.
They look like a lot of other bullet clones, with the clear dome and the grey plastic base being the controller. Standard 2 x AA batteries per controller. They came in two different frequencies, which they would obviously need to, being sold as a pair. If I remember correctly the TV add was selling them for around A$50 for the pair which was reasonable.
One car is a yellow plastic moulded Celica I think. And the other is a white safari styled 4WD of some type must admit I haven?t had a really close examination. There are no manufacturer logos (Toyota Nissan etc.) as such on the cars, but there are some racing stickers of sorts with Gallop or something like that printed on ?em.
Both of these NR cars go quite well, similar to my standard Bit and they both turn well. They ran a bit bumpy to start with but trimming the lumps of rubber off from where the tyres were molded improved that. They are also quite noisy when running compared to the Bit. Obviously cheaper gears etc.
One controller doesn?t seem to charge the car as well as the other. The Charge light is quite a lot dimmer than the good one and the run time is very poor when charged on the suspect transmitter / charger. Could just be the TX batteries yet, I haven?t looked into it much.
The Compact Bit Char-G I bought is a White Nissan GT-R (G-04) which I havn?t had time to play with much as yet (too busy building my track see pics so far at http://groups.msn.com/bitchargoz/general1.msnw) but seems to go well, although steering is not quite as good as I expected.
Verdict so far,
For Steering: 1st Nano Racer/s, 2nd Bit, 3rd Micro Super Charger (MSC).
For Speed: 1st MSC, 2nd Bit, 3rd Nano Racers/s
Controller: 1st MSC, 2nd Bit, 3rd Nano Racer/s
Car Apperance: 1st Bit, 2nd MSC, 3rd Nano Racer/s
Overall Quality: 1st Bit, 2nd MSC, 3rd Nano Racer/s
Does anyone else have one of the Enertec Micro Super Chargers?
Whats your verdict??
Cheers
Thanks Shypo.
I have been checking it for about a week now and still can’t get through. I was beginning to think that it was shut down.
TOMY bit char-G, Hbooico Microsizers and Tomy Compact Char_g are the brands to look for, they are the exact same thing but with different packaging pretty much
a bullet usually, dont hold me to this but usually comes with a pink ended 2.6-ish motor sometimes the motors can be slower sometimes they can be amazing fast like a 3.2
yeah the 45 and 49 are supposed to cinflict a bit but still a 6 car race would be awesome. i have a 49 and it hasnt had any probs with a 40 although a clone 35 gave it a stutter lol
it says its down sometimes but othertimes it fines. just check back tomorow
Yeah they have Dave. They used to have it at the Risden Vale Hall and it has taken them a long time to build it.
Barrell and I are trying to set up a Bit race on the track so if anyone from Hobart is interested then let us know.
hehe – I wish I could. It was a christmas gift (without recipt).
I’m thinking about getting another one – anyone know which brand is best? Has anyone else had to pitch a bad car – why?
i wanted a 6 car race but i will need a big track
go to radio control or micro rc then go to Bit Char-G accesrories
go 2 http://www.questformadness.com and read the BCG drag guidelines
go to http://www.questformadness.comand it has the Bit Char-G drag guidelines
my track is 17cm wide and in the skinniest bits its about 13cm, its only suitable for maximum 3 cars
short aerial cuts down the wind resitance, springs stop it from going astray and stop it from turning off the straight
masonite is $7 for about 1.5m by 1m its not to slidey but u can get a drift going
there is no 47mhz BCG there is a 49mhz Microsizer. the ultimate drag car would have hard springs, a short aerial, sum soft sticky tires, a 3.8 or 3.5, dual battery at least and some form of wheelie bar and a lightened lowered chassis
i used masonite for my tracks and it very slidey indeed
