Was thing along the same lines. Good luck on tracking! These thing are mutiplying faster than a virius!
Some other info maybe to add to the breakdown.
UPC product code # if possible.
FCC ID number if has one for either or both 27 & 49 mhz.
Seperate/intergrated charger.
All avaiable freq 27, 49, 40, 35, whatever in the line.
Number of bat's required. { 2AA or 3AA + 3AAA etc }
Any or all removable/customize parts.
Where usualy found. Walmart, Toys R Us, RS Generic vendor.
This may require a databae or a spreadsheet to keep strait.
PS: I figure why we are seeing seperate control/chargers now. Simply easer to get past both FCC and any copywrite's problems.

I bought a Micromite for $10 at a local grocery store and after a day or so, the steering went bad. I've seen the Bensu Cars at a booth in the mall and I'd swear the quality is better and the bodies have better detail and decals. Maybe similar on the surface, but there are some noticabl differences. I do have a Huale clone that is every bit a Bit (sorry), and it scoots, especially since I changed the tires. I paid $15 bucks for it at a Gun Show of all places. Nothing like buying ammo and micro rc cars in the same place...kinda Walmart without all of the "atmosphere". I don't have a Bit to compare it with, but everything I've seen, even down to the guts in the transmitter looks the same.

New clone not seen before!!!!
Notice this one says char-g on the box but then look at the car name "cyclona". If you look at picture too the PCB cover is a clearish yellow plastic. This looks like another clone that is meant to fool people looking to by char-g's.

Thread renamed. Once we've got a comprehensive list we can turn it into a DB.
