Ok, so i was thinking about getting a LXX auto modelisa supra or RX7 but they i started thinking, "what about a Wild Char-G" so i saterted reading many a post in this forum and i have come to the conclution that i think i might get one. I have a couple questions first. How well can this thing climb stock or with an easy mod, say....upgraded motor (some mod without drastic changes to the vehicle a.k.a. dual cell). I would want good climbing because i like to drive around on my dest and i have alot of stuff on it. Also, what is the lowest price for one of them, (probably the blue one because i dont want the weapon on it) because i have looked around a little and i would like to use ebay as a last resort. sorry about the long post, but i wanted to be clear. Thanks in advance

i have lots of bits & raise tiger (red 1)
as standard (if i can remember) it did climb up hill but wont climb over slippy stuff & seems to push things rather than go over them
putting in bigger motor makes it faster but topples over more offroad because of extra speed
get the red truck its weapon is a lifting claw good for moving small stuff around you desk
i have started getting tanks for offroad & since i got them my bits have hardly been used
i have 2 digiq's, a dragon micro tank & kyosho mini tank
if you want to climb over stuff get 1 of the tanks

do you have the DigiQ tanks because i dont really want to spend that much money on another are, Notice the AE86. And i really wanted a truck...kinda dont like the idea of playing with a war vehichel either. do you know how much the little claw can lift? like 1 or 2 pencils? thanks for answering

i also have the raise tiger, with the lifting claw, and as for weapons it is WAY better than the blue one, but i think the blue one looks better........if you dont care about the weapon go for the blue, but overall weapon and all i'd recommend the raise tiger. i got mine for $26 but you
'll haveta look around for prices. stock motors for the weapon and drive are pretty pathetic i thought, for climbing power the drive motor is simple enough to upgrade, however the weapon motor is pretty slow and i thought a bit weak(that one is much more difficult to upgrade as it is wired in with solder, if you want more idea into the weapon motor set up read my other post on how to upgrade it) if youre going to buy a wildChar-G, make sure you at least upgrade the stock motor for drive, without upgrades i was pretty unimpressed with the perfromance right out of the box.......they're good fun

Yea, i read your post about upgrading the weapon motor and i thought i woulnt plan on doing that unless i really needed it. Can you email me at Pattink@TDS.net where you got that price for the vehicle. Thank you for a second opinion
