THIS IS A QUOTE FROM ELSEWHERE:
Features
3 1/4" Long Diecast
Propo Control
Bit Style front end with spring suspension
Near Epoch size motor
Dual Ni-Mh, 90 sec charge.
Metal body doubles as aerial
TX has three channels built in, car is fixed on one channel A, B, or C.
Mini-Z owners, get this, it has a servo saver
Performance
Slow and stable. Heaps of understeer, the rear tyres are very simular to TP tyres, but the front uses O rings that are only 2mm wide, and the contact patch in 1mm. Range 6', propo resolution seems as good as Epoch/ Yokomo, no RPC circuitry what so ever, if you go out of range the car keeps going
There seems to be a lot of control delay (ala Digi-Q), and even a stock Yokomo will leave it in it's dust. If there is one thing this car has, it's torque, it will fly up my 30 degree ramp from a standstill with no trouble. It's of little use because there's almost no ground clearance to exploit this abundance of torque.
All channels are on the 27Mhz band, but I haven't been able to use a "real" man sized TX, but it could be that I don't have the right Xtal. Plenty of torque, OK ground clearance. Run time is about 6 mins on a single charge, and again that will double or tripple with a peak charge, the heavy body obviously a burden on rin time.
The diecast body is a big mistake. Being so heavy, if you hit something there's a lot of momentum and something has to give. My car's already collected a few chips, and since paint just doesn't adhere well to zinc alloy, it won't be long before it looks like a well loved Matchbox car.
Mods
Adding a plastic body and aerial, plenty of Power Tomica Bodies Available. Not really enough room under sedan body for extra cell. I've already got a Vehicross body on mine, handles a little better. I've tried to get the wheels off for some better rubber, but couldn't. The Wheelbase is about 5mm shorter than the Yokomo, and Stampeders bodies just fit, but are a little short. However, you really need to cut the chassis to get them to sit as low as they should.
Conclusion
Nice, but not a new favorite.

Ladies and Gentleman
I just putted a 3.8 BitcharG Motor in this Baby and it ROX like Hell!!
It even does donuts. The 4 speeds make the car super controllable and 3.8 Motor brings good top speed.
The motor for front stearing is a original bitcharG 1.0 motor. Im going to replace it for a 2.2 tomorrow. Will see if it will make the stearing react faster.
Images? Here we go:

Stearing is fully propo. Speed is not fully propo. there are 4 steps for forward and 4 steps for backward. but it feels really cool.

Okay, guys. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this car is not a "Bit". It's not even in the same category as a Bit Char-G except for the size. The motor looks the same, but that appears to be the extent of it. Looks like it has spring front suspension though.
Bit-Racer.de: As a purchaser of this product it is your responsibility to give us a decent review of it. How fast is it with the new motor? MPH? How does it handle with the new steering motor? Have you even done that yet? How's the range? Blah, Blah, Blah...
We need to stick together here guy's. Who's gonna buy these if we don't know much about them. Is the guilt trip thick enough yet?
Keep me posted.

The Micro something center forum have a detailed report of it.. the speed is the same as 2.2 bits, range about 15 feets
looks like its need lots of mod to make it perfect.. (change both motor, wheels, take t spring.. etc)
And the front motor is a 1.0 motor.. which could expain the slow turning..
