New Bit

[rody]

I just got my first Bit (they Skyline set), and I have to say I'm less than impressed. My experience with micros has been with Zips, and other than a few quality issues, I've had lots of fun with the Zips. On the whole, they run as advertised.

I'm hoping, maybe I just got a bad one, or someone can help me fix it, but the problems I'm having are when turning, the car stutters badly, and sometimes just stops. I then have to move my remote all over the place before the car will work again. I have fresh batteries in the remote, so it shouldn't be that. I've tried a couple of sets, and it's the same all the time.

I have a hard time charging the car, and I have to take the car on and off the charger until I finally get the charge light. The range on these are very limited as well, well short of the zips. Lastly, when the car is running, it is very slow out of the box. I know that there are lots of mods out there, but this thing is super slow. I have the orange gears and the light blue motor.

I got an Enertec the same day, and the Enertec runs circles around the bit. The Enertec is pretty fast, but difficult to control, because the steering mechanism causes me to do donuts all the time.

Hopefully someone here can give me suggestions on how to smooth out the Bit, but right now I'm disappointed with it. Thanks in advanced.
