YES!!! My Epoch Indoor Racer Spec2 finally came in!!
I have a digiq and a tomy bit charG and my epoch drives circles around them...its fast and controllable for its size and the craftmanship is just as good and even better than the digiq and the bits!!

Of course,
The epoch has everything a larger RC car has. The Bit Char-G is not proportional. It would only be far to compare it to the likes of a Tyco Canned Heat!!! As far as the Digi Q, for its size, it has amazing top speed. If not for the inital delay, it is almost as fast as the Epoch. Think of that, it's pretty amazing for something 1/3 or 1/4 the size!!!
I am not trying to take anything away from the Epoch. It IS the smallest fully proportional RC car and it handles like one!!!
Glad you bought one,
Enjoy

Hey All
I don't mean to belittle this fourm in anyway, BUT I posted a whole bunch of info and pictures on another fourm over here. I have gone into alot more detail on this fourm and they are going to start selling them through the "official" american distributor.

Gertman, I read the thread, and I find it very hard to believe that there is an official US distributor, as when we've contacted them in the past they have told us that there is no US licensing for this product. Do you have any info on who this distributor is?

I just spoke with a friend who was importing the Epoch here in the States and I can confirm there is now an official Epoch distributor in the USA. The new distributor gave him a call and not so kindly asked him to stop selling the car here.We have verified this through Epoch so it is true. I hope we have some contact with the new distributor soon so we can find out more about this great car. Oh yeah I would like to order all available hop=ups for my spec 2 ASAP in case you are reading this.

1. the batteries fit only spec 2
2. they offer 33% more power
3. extended run times (with our tests)
4. the charge time is also longer about double- thats the only draw back so far.
The Spec 2 also must be taken apart and since stock pack has no plugs it must be un soldered and new pack must be installed and soldered too!
For the experienced Hobbyist. The Spec 2 is much easier to disassemble than to re-assemble

I will say this confidentially, an Epoch is infinitely better than a Bit Char-G!!! In every way, it is proportional, handles! and is ALOT faster!!! I will definitely enjoy it!
TO microrcracing,
Please tell me 1st what are the cells that come in the Epoch's? The size aka 1/3AAA, 1/3AA, .........
And then of course, what brand and model number of these new cells you have installed.
