Exclamation Microsizers guide rails suck!

Okay, I know it's probably my fault for buying the stupid piece of s--t, but how can Hobbico get away for selling this kind of crap.

I bought two of the guide rails sets this afternoon, hoping to use them for the start of a modular track. Took one out of the package and put the sticky things on the bottom. Put one set together into oval track configuration. IT SUCKS!!!!!

The "guide" rails are so short and they are angled so that the car just drives right over them like a speed bump. Isn't it supposed to be more of a retaining wall?

Another complaint I have is that the oval track configuration is so small that you can't even take the turns without having to do a three- (or four- or five-) point turn.

I would take the unopened one back but I bought them from my LHS that has their "no return policy" clearly stamped on the receipt. Bunch of garbage!

Use a slot car track that comes with better guide rails. with a slot car track you could have fun macking tracks. the microsieazer guide rails are only good for Combat DigiQ battle courses.

The ZipZaps rails is a good investment as well, it's a high enbankment configuration (you won't be driving over it like a speed bump) and it's slitted at the top to allow for the advertisement pieces.

Sorry to hear that the Microsizer set turned out to be worthless though.

Yea the ZZ rails are much more nice as compared to the Bit for the outside guides. But don't despair, cause the bit rails are great for inside guides... you can jump the apex to take your opponet on the inside!

Those are K.I.T. Racer bodies. You have to mod your car to make them fit. Haven't done it yet though.

Do you think after you mod your car, could you still fit the MS and BCG bodies on it still?
