Do you have a link or pictures of that mini-q? I've not heard of that digi-q clone...If it's supposed to be a digi-q clone.

As far as the popularity goes, except for some of us stubborn micro lovers the market on this scale has gone back into hibernation. Bit Char-G/Microsizers have been discontinued for a couple of years now and just recently the RadioShack clones (aka ZipZaps) just saw the last line being cleared out (The Transformers). There's been no news of any newer ZipZaps due out either.

The Digi-Q never even made it stateside, they're all Japan Imports. They've been off the market longer than the Bit Char-G.

There's a recent new line of micros out in Japan though, they're a hybrid of Bit Char-g and Digi-Q in that they use IR but also use the steering like Bits. They're called Q-Steer and again they're by Japanese import only. Just recently Tamiya teamed up with Takara and released a line of Q-Steer Buggies, very cool (I have one).

Good luck on your hunts.
