Precious Review
Today I just picked up a Precious clone. The first thing I noticed before I opened it is that the chassis are semi-white. Here's my quick review:
The Body
The body is good for a clone, but it has poor quality decals. The paintjob is portraying lightning bolts on a red background.
The Controller
The controller is like all clone controllers, because it's round. On the front of the controller it says R/C 27 MHZ in bold font.
Performance
The Precious perfoms as good as a Bit. It is very fast stock and turns very well.
Sound
It's very loud and sounds like a dragster. When you stop pressing forward for a second it immediately stops the sound and slows down.
All in all this is the cheapest clone I've seen in Toronto and it's worth the money.

I have 6. The motors are crap. They have the same color, but they are completely different speeds. The batteries suck, after a while you get like 2.5 minutes. But hey, after you upgrade the engine(done) and batteries(on order), they are awesome!!!
Unfortunately, they are the only bits I can find, that aren't 50 dollars. I got mine for 20-25 CDN.
