Holy cow, I won a MicroSizer!
Just got an e-mail saying that I won a MicroSizer sport from microsizers.com! I have to fax back the prize winner form to claim my prize. Now I will have a genuine MS to add to my collection of Bit Char-G and clones! Go here to enter their contest, there is still some time left!

Sorry if I sound like a grump but its not fair some ppl get a working MS for free & they already got Bit Char-Gs & Some pay for them but they break in 2 weeks. Not fair
BTW: Congrats Bro! Enjoy the MSS

"Win It Before You Can Buy It!"
I've seen all those clear S2000 bodies at target. What's up with the weaker motor?

The motor is not as powerful as the stock 2.2, that is true.
But the torque of this motor is quite impressive. Carpet racing is pretty damn cool with the 1.6.

I thought they put the weak motor in the car because the new colored bodies are weak looking. They figured they could cheap out on the customers (since so many cars are returned everyday). Think about it...the motor is cheaper, the colored plastic is cheaper than painting and then glazing it, the antennas are shorter (causing them to spend less on materials).
Next thing the box will say LXX on it because those guys had left over boxes to sell to Tomy at a discount. haha
I say we all boycott these new cheaper cars. blah
Well, everyone that has to pay for them.

I don't think they'll ship them until after the contest is over, so we'll have to wait a little while. I think someone else posted that they won a couple of weeks ago. It's good to see a lot of tinyrc members winning!

The 1.6 motor isn't weak. It's a high torque motor. It's great for beginners, and great for high-control "power" setups.
I like the new MS Sport. It's obviously aimed at a different (younger?) market. It's not as complete as the full car sets, but it's still a great way to get a genuine MicroSizer. I'm sure some kids will like colored translucent bodies.
If that doesn't float your boat, fine. But don't say Hobbico is trying to "cheap out" their customers. If that were true, the thing would be a clone in a MicroSizer box. This is the real product, with a more powerful motor than even original Bit Char-Gs.
And BTW, the antennas are NOT shorter.
