$2 Kit Racers!
 
as most of you know, the KIT RACERS have parts (tires, gears, batteries, and motors) that the Bit Char-g/Microsizers use. At Target, they lowered the price from $5 to $1.98!

just thought i'd share!:D

They are at $3.98 at Target here in Minnesota.

Still a great deal, I bought (3) more today for the orange 2.6 motors, motor clips, and batteries!

Jebus..... I just got back from Target and the price is $5.98. I didn't buy any. Maybe i'll check again next week.

Even 5.98 sounds like a good deal, I'm going to goto target sometime over my christmas break. The nearest one is like an hour away so I'm not sure when I'll be making the trip.

Stridex 01-02-2003 07:50 PM

Anyone notice what Walmart is charging for them? I noticed before Xmas that Toys'R'us had the track down from $45 to $15 too.

jei$ 01-02-2003 08:18 PM

AHHHH!!!!

the track and 2 cars for 20 bux

first of all im new to this mini rc. its awesome though. i bought one of the cheap $13 cars from wal mart and i actually painted it black (it was an ugly clear green with stickers before...) while i was there i did remember reading something about how you can use the kit racer parts for bit char-g cars. since i bought one on ebay already (blue wrx, 45mhz, 3.0 motor, and tires) im thinking of actually buying one of these KIT racers.

i was just wondering were the ones you bought the ones that come with cars? cause the ones ive seen at wal mart are 10 bucks.

*edit*
oh also, do you guys know what comes in these kits? i know about the white tires, and the 2.6 motor. what gears come in it? are there any suspension parts?

bagelbm 01-02-2003 08:46 PM

do they sell kit racers at stores other than target?

shocon2k 01-02-2003 09:28 PM

I bought 4 of the cars, for $1.98 apiece. I got the one tuned for high RPM, so I have 4 sets of super-soft orange slicks (best tires I own to date), 4 blue gearsets (which perform OK but need 2 batteries), 4 BLACK HEAT SINKS (which look awesome on my shen, which has a black PCB cover), and 4 brand new Tomy batteries.

So basically $8 later, I got 4X the parts I got when I first bought a KIT racer at Walmart for $10. So, I have a stock of 2.6s and gears and stuff, and I'm definately stylin. Anyone who doesn't have a target near them or doesn't have them for the low price let me know and I'll ship you a couple sets. There were like 500 cars left when I went today.

Pojo 01-02-2003 09:33 PM

Hey Shocon! ;) I want one!

krillin52 01-02-2003 09:47 PM

im sorry, they dont teach us how to read in college... :(
but they do teach us how to chug beer and smoke a bong!...

ne ways. i dont see how wal mart sells them for 10 bucks and target can get away with $1.98.

Ripper720 01-03-2003 04:11 AM

Just got back from Target here in Kansas City and they are still 5.98. I bought one anyway. The motor seems kinda weak but its cool to have Xtra parts . But I got Thunderchargers at WallGreens for $10 and I got a lot more parts for the $$$.
RIP

krillin52 01-04-2003 10:45 PM

hey shocon youve bought all 4... can you explain the differences in the sets? mainly the one called energie and slalom? how would they make my bit better (or worse)?

ib311 01-05-2003 02:08 AM

Hey krillin, I used to live in trophy club and roanoke.

small world.

krillin52 01-05-2003 02:34 AM

cool dood! how long ago? cause if its been awhile its kinda changed around here.

ronak26 01-14-2003 07:53 PM

hey guys im a 13 year old that doesnt have all that much money so if someone could PLEASE go get 4 or 5 of those kit racers for 1.98 if its the price at your target an i pay you for them please help me my mom said she doesnt mind becuase i have ruined 2 microsizers and my brand new motorworks car that i loved in 2 days all for mods and my mom siad those cars would be nice for mods but we aint got a target email me at ronak26@hotmail.com if you could do this

spikeymike218 01-14-2003 08:14 PM

Target doesn't carry kit racers anymore. atleast not the targets in my area.

ronak26: you ruined 2 microsizers and a motorworks car already?? maybe you shouldn't be messing with microsizers/bit char-g's :( ?. also if you ruined 2 microsizers, the parts you get from the kit racers might not fix the microsizers. the only things you can use from the kit racers are the motor, heat sink, axles w/modification, tires, and battery.

ronak26 01-14-2003 08:20 PM

are they actauly cars like clones with pcbs? that what i was thinking and my mom said she can get me a new car but no mods try and find sumthing cheap and this looked perfect so what are they i was thinking they were clones

spikeymike218 01-14-2003 08:32 PM

they are not clones, there is no pcb board at all. they are merely slot cars. the front wheels of the cars do not turn, they only go straight on a track. kit racers are actually bit racers. the motor is connected directly to the battery, so after charging the battery and pulling the car off of the charger, the rear wheels already start spinning.

ronak26 01-14-2003 08:38 PM

please delete my post then i thought it was a clone sorry
