Is it just me....

Is it just me or are the Microsizers of lesser quality than BCGs? I mean I've had 2 MS's and 4 BCG's and the MS's have all had steering and alignment problems. They never run straight (leening either to the left or right HEAVILY), turn left and/or right has an extremely wide turn compared to BCGs, AND sometimes it won't even turn to the left OR the right. Am I nuts or have I just been "fortunate" enough to get two lemons?

I got a Microsizer from Target for $30 and for some reason despite all the technical triumphs over the ZZ it is slower you know why because its glitched

I have both Bits and MicroSizers.
And my best car out of the box was my Yellow S2000 MicroSizer.
It was fast for a 2.2, went straight and had excellent range (25ft+)!

I think you were just unlucky....

MS 1-0

I've only purchased one of each so far. The MicroSizer has been excellent. The Bit was DOA - I had to box it up to be sent back. I can't really base my opinion on that though. Few, if any, of us will probably ever own enough (and leave them unmodified) to represent a true scientifically viable sample size to answer this question credibly.

Don't worry about us. I'm sure there's plenty to go around.

ShadowMage, if you contact MicroSizers, they will replace them for you if you've been having problems.

Yeah I know I plan to call them up but I was just waiting till after xmas and all the madness.

And Shocon yes I know that they are the same company but for some reason I have just not had much luck with the Microsizers. I'm not knockin'em I like'em but they just seem lesser quality...but it could be just my experience.

Anywho, after a few months of therapy I think I should be well on the road to recovery.
