    Ryuenjin, I don’t think the spring is your problem. If the spring were bent wrong or installed wrong your car would always pull in one direction. You said your car pulls randomly toeither direction right? I think you just need to lube or clean your front axles. Use dry graphite lube. If they are not lubed then one side will drag a little more then the other at random and pull one way or the other. If cleaning is necessary there are forums for removing the axles.

    Another possibility is your rear wheels. Make shure both wheels are attached firmly to the axle. I noticed one of mine was VERY loose so it would pull left when accelerating and right when slowing down.

    By the way, are you calling them scams because they are overpriced or because they are clones? There are already a lot of clones – I wouldn’t call them scams though. Tehy are generally cheaper. If they were puting OEM cars in Bit Char-G boxes and fobbing people off saying they are the real deal, then that’s not on and definitely a scam!

    Just curious.

    I also found another scam at school it was an even smaller charg and it was a MacLaren . it had a blue egg shaped fat control with a metal ant. and plastic arrows and a red LED on it. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THIS IS!!!

    I believe you may be reffering to the ODM Mouse or Z-Car:

    Z-Car is the American name for them and they are sold at ZooMagoo for $19.95USD. They used to sell them at ToyEast called ‘ODM Mouse’ – they had different packaging also.

    Hey KittyKatSmack,I’m in Canberra too!! Whereabouts in Canberra are you? If I were to recommend a first Bit, I’d saystart offwith whatever car takes your fancy, and then buy the body sets to dress up your chassis. Personally, I’d recommend a Skyline, because they rule!! Compact Char-G sets come with 2.2 motors, so you might want to take that into consideration. Also, wait till the 7th. Only one more day to go……….

    I’m also considering purchasing a Mini-Z. What are they like? Lots of maintenance?

    I’m thinking of picking up a second Skyline LE set Shypo – probably in the next18 hours off ebay.

    The thing is, I only really want the chassis, controller and the ’70s Skyline (2000GTR).

    That means that if you would like to come in on a “group buy”, the dark grey GTR R32 and red GTR 34 bodies can be yours. Total cost would be 71 bucks Australian for me, I don’t mind paying the bulk of that, if you want to pay the balance for the two other chassis (I really don’t want another R32 – I have too many Skylines as it is, and I’m a Honda driver in real life :p ).

    Offer is open to anyone else, but Shypo gets first dibs on the red R34

    I’m hanging onto it as a part of the set at the moment, but as I pick up a few more different bodies I may be convinced to swap it. If so, I’ll let you know – first on the list. :smiley1:
