I agree, the Thunder Charger, and Microspeed cars from BigLots, seem to have surpassed Microsizers/Bits, in quality to price ratio.
I've bought about 10 Thunder Chargers. Every single one had a very fast, torquey, reliable pink endbell clone motor. The PCBs have good punch. Steering is strong, they turn on a dime, and the wide flat tires seem to improve handling, and help with flipping when dual celling cars. The only downfall is the horrid bodies, and since the wheel base is a tad longer than a bit's, it takes some modding get bit bodies on. Not that I'm complaining at 5 bucks.
The Micro Speed cars replaced the Thunder Chargers. They are 2 bucks more, and the battery is downgraded to 70mah. I also hate the clunky controller. The bodies are nicer looking, but still crap, in my opinion, only prob is now it's harder to modify to fit bit bodies, than on the TC cars. On the plus side for the Micro Speed cars, is the stickier tires, which unfortunately are not as wide and flat as the TC's. The Micro Speed now has a blue endbell motor, which is not quite as fast as the pink ones but still very good. Another bonus is a Microsizer controller will work with no mods, but then again you still have to keep the bulky Micro Speed controller, to charge the car on, because that's the only one it fits. Still though, worth every penny of the 7 bucks, and really makes me question ever spending 20-30 on Microsizers.
