The local toy store (Rhyme n Reason) just recently got a shipment of Zcars in, for only $19.99(US) I figured I'd pick one up and see what this little Bit Char-G clone has to offer.

Let's have a look...
 

The Packaging:

Straightforward stuff, the kit comes with a controller, car, body, instructions and 2 pylons.

 



Atomic Toys ZCar

 

The Controller:

Shaped like an egg, this remote has a 3 part function; Controller, Charger and Carrying Case. Also on the remote are flashing lights and car sounds (which you can turn off)

 



 

The Body:

"You get what you pay for". That's the term that comes to mind when looking at this offering.


 

 

The Chassis

Now let's look at what drives the Zcar


 

 

Altogether

There are no screws holding the body to the chassis, it's a tension fit of the body over the chassis. While the fit is quite snug, a decent hit against an enbankment could whack the body off the chassis.
 

Comparison

Now let's have a look at the Zcar compared to a DigiQ.
