Why Clones are Better (or Not)!

[johnrtse]

Pro's for Clones being better:

1) Cheaper to buy (usually)

2) Have more powerful motors (usually)

3) Not afraid to modify or cut-up (see #1)

4) Hop-up parts for Bits interchange (usually)

5) Very cool stickers

6) Better range (usually)

7) Better controllers


Pro's for Bits/MicroSizers being better:

1) Better & consistant quality of manufacture

2) No ugly stickers

3) Cooler bodies, molded in clear plastic (Impreza WRX, 2000GT-R, Trueno, Buses, etc...)

4) Gold rims for WRX ('nuff said!)

5) Better controllers

This isn't a slam either way- I love all of my cars; Bits & Clones.

nice list that covers everything that i can think of.

My fav is my Z. I have yet to see a two speed clone, these things make my 3.5 controllable

[Nathan]

Or my ZipZap, they cost $20 and have tons of room, and look really nice.

Argh..if anything the 2-speed is a con. I thin it s is cheap and a waist of extra money. The first speed is super slow and the second speed is fast....but not super fast like it shold be

my rallyracer clone is faster, smoother, and quieter than any microsizer i have ever seen. and i only paid $12.99. it feels and sounds just like a micro RC10. tomy is just an overpriced conglomerate.

Tell ya what I love my Panther Chariots. They just flat out handle better than the bits I've bought. Plus the charge lasts 3X as long.

The stickers and paint jobs can be changed but you simply can't beat the price. And you can interchange all the parts with bits.

I get them for $12 at a mall near me, compared with $35 for a microsizer, with all the extra frequencies.

[PWalk]

And oh yeah, Panthers have far superior controllers, telescoping antenna.

I love my precious.
I'm just happy with my other cars.

[JTM]

cooler bodies?? like the prosche 911 or the 360 modena.. or the gloria.. hmmm wait bit dont make those oh yeah and as long as u buy from a good clone company like shen or panther or preciouse then yer all set to go.. 1/3 the price and faster longer batt.. i can live with a clicky round controller.. i guess to each their own. and i got blue anodized rims now gold can eat my dust..

[takumi_drifto]

Shens are better!

[Sid]

I have a Panther Chariot and its cool....my range suddenly went bad but I removed all the wire out and now its cool...smokes zipzaps haha

i like the booster car i have. It allows you to turn with the 1st speed without flipping or spinning, then you gun it in second on the straights
