I'm gonna go check em out today yet, and see what the motor or battery specs are to see if they would be of use!

Mine is 45 Mhz. Fast and runs great. I like it a lot. Only cost me $17 shipped.

Hey Utah Mech Dude,
Check out Coachhouse gifts in Fashion Place mall. Clones went on sale today..$14.99. You need a 45 mhz right??? Lots of good bodies. I pulled one apart while standing at the front of the store, they look pretty good. I couldn't run it as the demo space is about 2 feet square.

a lot of people will say anything to sell these clones , like they are better than zips/bits. (in quality ) some of them will even say that the clones are the most popular ones and what everyone buys. I've seen bit clones for $30.00+ I'ts just a bunch of marketing BS.

Would you believe that I just picked up the Super Racing clone in NYC being sold on a street corner (50th and B'way).
Guy asked $10 for it, so I couldn't resist. Sloppy on the inside, but cool looking bodies. I think if that guy is there on Monday, I might try to pick up another 1 or 2 maybe 2/$15? good parts cars, but even the wheels are off center.
I'll try...I also saw these in a 'hood near where my father lives, on the street for 15...he laughed when I offered 10.
