If you dont feel like paying $55 for a microsizer which is how much they are in canada and i saw a shen quei for $44 i bought a clone that said bit char G on the box it came in a square dome it had an identical big char g controler but it came with a bad moter so i bought a new one and the car is great it came with a yellow nissan gloria body for only $20
The best thing I have seen and bought is the BIT CHAR A it came in a dome with a round controler it is amazing it goes so fast it has to have atleast a 3.0 it goes like double the speed of my 2.6 microsizer motor and its fallen from tables like 3 times and is still fine it came with a cool red tiger stripe nissan skyline body with stickers $20 too

It came in a plastic dome container and has lots of decals and not a tall roof like others. It looks more like a real car than other I had seen so I then went to the local hobby store and they are selling the following;
"Micromites"-rounded dome container, chrome wheels comes with 3 cones/pilons $24.95
"Precious"-rounded dome container, chrome wheels, clear windows and green gears $19.99
"BitChar-G"-Rectangle dome container, white wheels, with name its gotta be a copy, $19.99
The 4 above cars look like the same chassis from what I can see through the plastic with the exception of the green gears seen on the "Precious" Car. They also had the "Microsizer"-Kit car in box, Hobbieco/Tomy real deal, not a copy. $29.99 (on sale) so I bought 2 of those for my kids Christmas.
I opened the "Shen Qi Wei" and went for a drive. It would go 15 feet easily then would stop. I would raise my arms/controller and it would go another 10 feet (25' total) which makes me think a longer antenna on the radio might help some cars. I'm a brand new guy this week so if someone has already posted this info, I apologize. Otherwise I hope this helps. I will attempt to post a somewhat fuzzy picture of the "Shen Qi Wei" car in the dome. Randy

I have one of the box globe things with the white wheels it is the worst thing I have ever bought dont anyone ever get one it didnt work and I fixed it but it still suck

I would personaly go with the Precious in the globe they are amazing I love mine

There is a clone out there which actually reads Bit Char-G on the box. There's a site selling it for 4 bucks. Beware, this is not the real thing. It doesn't have the Bit Hobby logo or the Tomy logo at the top. Other than that, it looks exactly the same.

Lord_Nick_D · #70 03-12-2003, 07:16 PM

whats the site
$4 is amazing I hope thats not the one I have bacause I paid $20 for all of mine

Hi guys, im a New Member from brisbane australia. Last weekend, i was on holidays in sydney, when i came across the "precious new bitchar-a car" at the Cremorne Markets... of the 12+ toy stalls there, at least 10 were selling these little guys.

Prices varied, but after running around from one to the next, i bought a Skyline for $12!! yes, thats right, $12 meagre Aussie dollars!
The stickers on this thing were the first thing to go, poor quality paper stickers, badly applied, (although this made them much easier to remove).
the range on this thing is great, about 20-25ft outside, quick as hell, and will run for about 6-7 minutes on one minutes charge. (albeit with a noticeable decrease in power in the last minute or so).
I was originally gonna pick up a genuine Char-g, but for now, my lil 27mhz skyline is a definite winner! will be posting a link to a funky lil video me and my flatmate made up of some fun we had with it....

Thats the same company that makes the first one I bought but it came in a square case I recognise the chinese writing for the name
