yay! 2.6!!
 

weeeeeeee!!!

the freakin japanese hobby shop is sooo slow................

so i just ran down to another store and got a microsizer's 2.6... it seems actually pretty fast.. fast enuf to pull donuts with medium tires and stock magnet steering... :D

hehe k im happy now :)

it may not be a monster in torque, but the speed is almost uncontrollable on anything smaller than just floor...!

is everyone else's 2.6 kinda sorta like this?

mine is excatly like that. :D

my 2.6 is fast off the line and topend is all good

weeeeee!! :D hehe happy happy joy joy...

thx for replies!

Hehe I have 4 2.6's.:D :eek: ;)

mine is 2

When you donut, do the tires have zero dust on them? Cos when I have dust on my 2.2 booster set I can donut but without dust it's pretty much gripped up.

hmmm, well the stock tires on bit char-gs are FREAKIN sticky.. but they get dirty after like 20 seconds of run, so with those donuts are easy...

with hard back and soft front, the back slips good for really tight turns at top speed, but im not sure if it's my battery or something, im not pulling them like i used to!

ohh and Plzzzz oooomg... on my rear axle, the wheels (if i twist them kinda lightly) can spin in different directions... not EASILY... i dunno if it matters much, but has anyone else had this problem?

yea i had that problem..i jus took off the wheel, put ot glue on the axel were the rim is sapposed to go on, then i just stuc the rim back on the axel...u might have to wipe off the excess glue

ahh.. kk... thx silent!

if it gets too bad then i'll do that, but for now, i think it's fine...

i dunno what happened, but soft tires up front and medium (from the tireset) + 2.6 = no turns, only donuts!

Nice mod! Hope you didn't pay too much for the engine though. KIT Racers are less than $10 at Walmart and come with more extra parts and either a 2.2 or 2.6 engine. Have fun with it!

hmmm i cant find those kit racers ANYWHERE! seriously!

argg it's annoying.. =\

i got the engine for ... 16 bucks... ahhh i couldnt wait... ><"

it's a microsizer's engine, and i dunno what i mgonan do, cuz if the hobby shop gets the 3.0s in, i mite bring this 2.6 back and say it didnt fit.. :D

heh, i'll have to go hunt down those kit racers somewhere...

hmmmmmm btw C_CRX, are any of you guys planning to buy anything from Bitmod1? cuz they got the nicest stuff there... i was thinkin about a 3.5 and a NiMH battery, but the shipping's gonna eat me alive... you guys wanna band together and buy some stuff all in one shipment, and split the shipping?

Did you try Toys R Us? Their prices were high at $17 for a KIT but that's only $1 more than you spent but you would have got more bang for the buck. They had probably 30 or more at the Toys R Us here!

Haven't checked bitmod1 out yet. Are they Canadian? I know for sure that buying anything accross the border is going to rape you no matter how you cut it so I deal strictly within Canada over the net.. I think I may be able to source some 1/3AAA NiMH in our area. Another idea may be investing in a nice peak charger, i hear it makes a world of difference. I'm already gonna order probably 20 or so rare-earth magnets and will have enough left over to sell to other, at probably ~$1 a piece, if not less!! Just need to find out what size we need... Keep me updated on the potential groupbuy, I'll be gone for a few days (wed/thurs) so I'll check back then.

hmm newp... toys r us... havent been down there in a while, and i have nooo idea why i didnt go...! lol

hmm i dun think bitmod is actually canadian.. yeah, it's based in california.... :mad:
ah well.. hmm if you can actually hit those magnets and battery, i'll buy some off of you just like that **snaps fingers**! i been looking all over the place for the magnets, but nobody has them... some radio shack's MIGHT, but i asked the people, even gave them the part number, and bleh, imcompitence all around..

i'll go give the shelves a close look sometime after school starts, but it wont be for a while... hmmm im not sure if i can find and sellers in canada for.. well, anything! but i'll keep lookin around.. keep me posted :D

C_CRX i'd definetly be interested in thoes batteries and maybe even a 3.2 or 3.5 motor from dks. They soudn like they are the best but shipping is already 6 bucks for anythign under 10 dollars and we still woudl have to pay border fees. That would add up in a hurry i think.

But let me know or shoot me an email.
thanks

I dont like my 2.6 Its too fast and just does donuts cant even bloody turn well..my tracks like going waste. My car came with a 1.0 but that turned out to be a bum damnit that would have been perfect for me and the desks at school..excellent motor for nice tracks and small tables, etc, the 1.0 :) but mines a BUM damnit

I have several diffrent motors if you want 2 trade 4 your 2.6 I have all the ZZ motors and a 2.2 name the 1 u want 4 the 2.6 and I will trade you my email is justforlaunch2001@yahoo.com

zombiebaby, im in India, I doubt I can trade with anyone, u must be in USA or someplace far from here..:( I just gotta live with it I guess...wish I could get the 1.6 though..

Re: yay! 2.6!!
 

...no you must have got a good 2.6 mine sucks! my 2.2 is faster...

hmmm are you sure the top end speed is faster? cuz i found after looking at clone and KIT motors, the TOMY 2.6 really DOES have weak torque... it's just that my floor is slippert :D

2.6 motors are a waste of time unless they are 2bucks. buy a cheap clone and take its motor. heck you might just like the whole car since it will have better range.

..i must agree the clone2.6 is much better..not better range than 2 wires ..lets race if your in pittsburgh pa your close 35ft race...

ya your only 45mins away huh?

...45 min.away yep 3spring kroger 10pm or 5am after the end of week anytime...:D

huh? there aint no krogers around here

3springs kroger weirton wv 100 st thomas dr


b27m b45m b49m all with rspec lets race:)

ive been in wv once for about 5mins. im from toledo not here. im just a refugee amongst the hillbilly steelers fans.

i got a 2.6 microaizer motor and it sucks at least in my opinion it is like half of the speed of my precious and the motor cost me almost as much as the whole precious cost me does your motor slow down when you have a body on it

I have got a 2.6 microsizer coming in the mail....$6.00 new on ebay. Can't beat it!

I will let you know how I fair with it when I get it (anything has got to be better than the micro B 1.0!)

lol vaypour, damn straight it beats a 1.0!! ^_^

damn..
 

my 2.6 is too fast..so i use my Panther motor which is a bit slower...cant turn at all just donuts so i use the stop acceleration and turn method :P

dude i frigin love my 2.6 i put soft tires on the front and hard on the back and drift all day.

if only i had the tire set..im in india see?

...that sucks i wanted to see on of those dual or tris in action... and i feel for anyone who is from ohio(esp. mean spirited people) get stuck in PA put all of your bits together and get out of oop noop country!!!!

the hee haw is holdin me back. i dono next time you come to pissburgh leme know

I will send u a smaller motor for your 2.6 what else do u have 2 trade I have a tire set 2 make me a deal and I will send 2 India

I am wrong
I said that the 2.6 sucked but it was because it wasnt making good contact with my car I pulled out the back tab and its amazing I totaly agree with you guys it accelerates fast stops fast and runs well
i like it I wish it had much more tourque (spelled wrong) for my newst progect which you will see one I get a new camera
