OT: Bit Char-G Micro RC cars

http://ebay0.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_0eb342a578550275c30b9429d8a003a9/i-1.JPG

It's a Bit Char-G NSX-R micro RC car. The things are tiny - they literally fit in the palm of your hand and run off a small battery that is charged for 45 seconds and will run the car for 4-6 minutes.

Char-Gs only come in two frequencies, so you can only run two at a time, have a range of about 10 meters and can be modded with higher RPM motors, different compound tyres, gearing etc. Set up for dragging, drifting or circuit racing if you want to spend the money. Racing is done on the kitchen floor, dining table etc

Messed around with a friend's Skyline yesterday and got hooked on it.

Finding them in Australia is pure hell - imported from Japan, we only get the S2000 and Skyline GTR, but this was a (wait for it) a private import that I found on ebay for 55 bucks Aussie (they usually go for 45-60 bucks).

Nice review and info here on the Char-g:

Anyone else into these?

Yeah, I have been looking into them. :) I am trying to sell all my 1/10th scale RC cars, since I dont have time for them anymore. I figure these little things I can play with at the office. :D

I absolutly love those things..
But i cannot get them in canada :(
I'm thinking of ordering one off eBay.

those cars look alot like the "ZIP ZAPS" they just came out!they sell them at Radio Shack!

they look really cool, you can buy different wheels,bodies, faster motors!

and they have a "fast and the Furious" upgrade kit for them as well...i want one!!!! :D

I work at radioshack... Those Zip zaps things are pretty cool. But they also Sell out hella quick. The japan ones have cooler body styles though. I sure aint gonna get the F&F kit for the bodys, just the high RPM motor.

I got mine off ebay and love it I take it to work.

i am also like kris i need to sell my 1/10 scale stuff so i can aforrd more of the hobies i have now if anybody looking a have lots of race cars and trucks all Losi and associated

Yo, my girlfriend got me one of these, its the Japan one, and it charges for 45 sec and it lasts forever!! like 10 min at least! Yo, this is the coolest toy ever! i have a Skyline R34..... These are sweet, she bought it at the carshow when we went...... She wont tell me how much it was though... the japan ones are expensive rite? i dont know how much because it dun matter to me.... I broke the wing off the body already cause it goes madd fast and flew off my kitchen table :) lol, well, when you take off the body, it looks like a baby Rat or something and i scared my professor at my college :) hehehe, it was funny, it has some range too!

Aww damn! $20 at radio shack! I'm gonna get one! maybe two! :D
coool!
HEY christmas presents!
YES! no christmas shopping needed now!

i saw a commercial for those, they look fun. what model cars do they sell?

Zip Zaps are a clone of the Bit Char-G I understand. Still as cool, but not quite as well finished (why Char-G are more expensive).

Just bought a 3.0 30000rpm bit motor for mine and am about to get the 3 different compund tyres for a bit of fun. I'm still trying to find the drift kit and lights kit, but I've found the limited edition Skyline set with the Shells from an R32, R34 and 1970s 2000GT :)

civic89dx: all sorts of models WRX, S2000, Evo Lancers, Celicas etc
