[Azimov]

Azimov....hows the head to head racing ( if you have racedit against someone else)? If not ...how does it handle on the track in comparison to the scrunch bodies ( bits) or Zips? Are you racing on cardboard/linoleum/particle board?

I haven't had a chance to do any head to head racing yet, but the cars handle pretty good. The scale size and long wheel base make them fairly easy to run around the track. They handle better than the scrunched versions, similar to a Zip I guess. My track is painted plywood with pretty good grip. The new tires keep the car stuck to the track pretty good. The only complaints I have is the really noisy gear box and the controller set up. I put toggles on my Zip controllers, which I like much better. But, you can't do that on these controllers with seperate buttons. I only have two thumbs and find it difficult to steer while I press the forward button and try to hit the turbo button at the same time. This is hard enough to do on wide open lenoleum, and is even harder on a tight technical course. It would have been better to put the turbo button on the side of the controller, so you can hit it with an index finger. Well, you could put toggles, but it would require a lot of crap affixed to the face of the controller.

Azimov is the motor the same size as the scrunchy or zip motors?

It seems to be the same size. It's hardwired like a Motor Works motor. I haven't got out a ruler on the thing, but from just looking, it seems the same size as all the rest.
