thunderbolts aint that good. their steering is fairly poor and they have hard wired motors. those motors have a ton o' torque but no speed. i get cyclonas for 10bucks and stock are a lot faster than thunderbolts have better bodies and steer pretty well(no where as good as the microsizer)

No question....The MotorWorks from WalMart. Lxx can claim second best.

all of my prescious are awesome. and they are also completely compatable with the microsizers/bits... motors/bodys/tires... the bodys are clear, and the motor is like a 2.2 depending on the precious, some have different sizes i think. all in all its not that bad for a clone! specailly when its only 10 bucks.

SHENS RULE ,.....closely followed by the PRECIOUS .

Spanky · #11 02-14-2003, 07:04 PM

i will agree that the shens are good cars, meanig they are fast and run fairly straight. i have 2 of them. one was broken outa the egg.. the axle was too long so the gears wouldnt touch. kinda poor quality control. but i will admit that they are fairly quick. what i dislike about them is the material that the bodys is made out of. it seems a lot thicker and heavier than all of the other cars that i have seen, and its not clear. also the motors are not compatable with the bits unless you do some modifications. all in all they are great cars, they just are not as compatable as the precious are with the bits. if i was going to rate them i would say
1. precious (because of compatibity)
2. shen
3. lxx (possibly higher but that motor is definately not a 3.0)

but thats just my opinion.

I agree , the bodies are heavier and windows are not clear ,
but I usually replace the body with a custom body .

denden-

Is that a picture of a shen? I have the same exact looking car but its called a "rally racer" from KB toys... I wonder if they're the same. The body is a white plastic material(not clear) but has the same design. Is your car the same?

denden · #14 02-14-2003, 07:25 PM

Yes , it is an original Shen , .. I have seen the Rally Copy Cat .
I believe it's the same car . Probably pumped out of the same factory .
