I got a Shen Qi Wei for $9....most well spent on mini R/C yet........................
 

How much do they retail for?

They can be had had for as little as $5 bucks.
If you look hard enough .

Where can I get one online for $5?

Here's 5 for $20

That is not a reputable seller.

He only has 5 ratings , but they all are positive .
I don't know him , but everyone has to start somewhere.
If he wants to swindle someone , I would hope it would
be for more than $20 bucks .

"Total: 14.02"

I guess I got a good deal afterall.

As long as you feel you got a good deal , that's all that matters .

I have two Shens
 

I have two Shens and a Zap. The Zap, with all mods cost about thirty dollars. The shens each cost ten and with no mods kicked zip-ass. Anyone who has a crappy car that reads this can easily trade that **** in for a Shen. Shen Qu Wei's kick ass! I'll post some pics of my cars later.

YEs, I have to put it a positive note for the shens as long as you get from a decent seller, I have had many good experiences with TIS99.com which is very consistent with the quality... i have heard that sometimes people sell shens that are not consistent in the construction but they were probably knock offs and no the real SQW. Overall I have had the best experiences with SQW!

Dan check your e-mail.....

Re: I have two Shens
 

Ok. I am offended from this. You say that a zip zap is ****. I mean sure a Shen could be better. But each micro has its cons and pros. What did you have in your zip zap? Nos express? Red gears? Dont just go into other forums saying that a certain r/c is bad. I bet that many other people are offended too.

my shen is faster forward than my 2sp bit with same gears and motor.

who races going reverse anyway?
