New programmable bits

novastar512 · #1 04-02-2003, 05:26 PM

I just saw these bits at my local canadian walmart. The cars themselves are really ugly, but I read that they have a nimh battery and a seperate charger.

They, I think are full function and the controller has this huge programmable controller, with all these numbers and arrows so that you can program certain actions. It also has a wheel to steer it but, I don't think it's proportional.

They were really cheap and were like 20 CDN. Has anbody seen ones like these. I think they are called x-speed or something. I know they had and x in them. I am considering buying one but I wanted to know if anybody has seen them before.

i saw them at walmart, the controller has like a button for a full turn another button for zig zag, another for straigh etc. But i dont really think they r cool, hey where is ur walmart anyway? I would rather buy the 4x4 trucks from there instead!!! (im gonna buy one tom.)

the programmable ones r 20 bux and the 4 wheel drice trucks r 20 bux too. They also have mini cooprs that r better to scale than bits, they also have those nkok diecast cars that come with a dual cell built in and a duall cell charger !!!

Hmmm, they do have alot of clones at my local Wal Mart, but I'm not sure that they have those trucks. Last time I checked they only had cars, and a bike or two.

which ones are the best
and do you have any links I couldent find anything on the us site
these are canadian prices
$20 for a clone is pretty good

O did you guys know that zellers sells kit racers now I finaly found them and bought one for $10 cnd I ofcourse broke most of it for parts and killed one of my bits trying to do a duel cell

Hmmmm, I might have to go to the mall sometime to go to Zellers too

And BTW, the 'Tank Steering' is called skid-steer.

So I didn't notice, but how do you steer on the programmable ones? Does it have a trigger to go forward of backwards?

i bought the 4x4 and its amazing lots of power,m only porblem is it keep flippin over cuz of the high c.o.g.
the programmable ones are crap, dont buy it the quality is 5hit
i have checked zellers every weekend for the laa\st month and iv never seen kitt racers nor have i seen them at walmart, ill check it out again tom.

Lord_Nick_D · #14 04-04-2003, 02:38 PM

any body try the motor cycles
I will probably get the 4x4 if my walmart in Oakvill has it
I am having a huge Ice storm where I live so I havent been out in 3 days and wont be able to this weekend probably either
