Precious Review
 
Today I just picked up a Precious clone. The first thing I noticed before I opened it is that the chassis are semi-white. Here's my quick review:


The Body
The body is good for a clone, but it has poor quality decals. The paintjob is portraying lightning bolts on a red background.



The Controller
The controller is like all clone controllers, because it's round. On the front of the controller it says R/C 27 MHZ in bold font.



Performance
The Precious perfoms as good as a Bit. It is very fast stock and turns very well.



Sound
It's very loud and sounds like a dragster. When you stop pressing forward for a second it immediately stops the sound and slows down.


All in all this is the cheapest clone I've seen in Toronto and it's worth the money.

I second that
its not that noisy
how much did you get it for
I bought mine for $20 cnd but say them yesterday at the autoshow for $15 I wish i had bought one

I got the Subaru Impreza WRX for $20 CDN also.

Lord_Nick_D 02-22-2003 05:32 PM

mine was the red and black tigerstriped or lightning Nissan skyline
its the fastest one i think I have so far It is double the speed of my 2.6 ms motor which cost me as much as the car

I have 6. The motors are crap. They have the same color, but they are completely different speeds. The batteries suck, after a while you get like 2.5 minutes. But hey, after you upgrade the engine(done) and batteries(on order), they are awesome!!!

Unfortunately, they are the only bits I can find, that aren't 50 dollars. I got mine for 20-25 CDN.

Canadian Bit 02-22-2003 06:37 PM

Yeah. How fast is the Toyota DB one? Because I saw that one also.

novastar512 02-23-2003 11:18 PM

they come in a bullet. Their good, I have 6, once you replace the motor and battery, they rock.
