I don't belive this is old news (at least I havn't heard of it). It's about time Tomy liscenced the Super BCG to Hobbico. It looks like the microcycles are re-releases of the mini-gp. I don't like the "Precision-X" name, it sounds cheesy.
EDIT: Towerhobbies has order pending for all of these products. It looks like the collectors kits will be 34.99 and microcycles will be 19.99

The motorcycles are updated big time. They now have tiny gyro wheels and a retardedly stupid to hold controller. They say you can use one hand but would work better with two for me.

It is a slightly different chassis design (lower) with interchangeable front wheels. The controller is different, and it has super car bodies.

I hope these Micro sizer Super BITS run better than the BIT CHAR G Super BITs. That run on/reception problem is a real pain. Also, the new Ferrari 246 DINO and F50 Super BITs are available at HLJ, Toyeast and on Ebay too.

The super bits look like they'd be wicked! Any news on the chassis? Is is just using like "drop spindle" steering nuckles and smaller rear wheels? Or did they actually go ahead and make it so that the suspension mounting points are higher in relation to the chassis to lower the ground clearance? Is that a longer than stock chassis? And are they using the same size wheels?
The new microcycles look pretty trick. Why am I suddenly getting the urge to try and find two of them so I can run one stock, and build a Cruiser (like a harley) or Chopper (long fork custom) out of the other? But the controller looks stupid, it should be the same Freq and channel selection as a car controller right?

They are the same as Super BITs probably updated though. I will buy the Ferrari collector set. If it sucks I will keep it but maybe do a PCB swap from this fast as heck clone. Wheelies stock! $5.99 at Sunoco.

Sunoco carries a clone that pulls wheelies stock??? And for under $10? Guess I gotta find a Sunoco next time my real ride needs gas. Are they bullet or oval bullet? What's the name on them?

bullet. I forget. You do have to go in reverse and than slam it forwards. This only seems to work on carpet but the ability still lasts through most of the charge.They had Minis and some other cars when I got mine. I threw in a 3.4 ZZ motor and it lost its wheelie ability but got major speed. Not like it needs anymore from stock. I raced my bros dual cell and won. Easily!

An update. The Clone car was $5 on sale and can pull wheelies for most of its charge. When you install a NX motor instead of the stock you can do a wheelie or two at the very height of its power than drive exceedingly fast!
