they come in a rally car that sorta looks like a wrx with a buncha foglights on it and an suv. neither look that great but the chassis can be modded to fit bit bodies anyhow. they have wider wheels than bits to.

rally racers are pretty much total knockoffs of bits. someone said that they are actually shen qui weis repackaged. if so it seems to live up to its reputation.

Have You hadda chance to beat on it yet? Wanna know what you think.

I bought mine from KBToys for $9.99 (when they put them on sale, $13.99 when not) and in my opinion they are best clones I've ever purchased. They're fast, great handling, track straight, kickin azz range. I've praised these since day1 and think they'll out perform any Micro straight out Da Box!

hmm i like the wheels on the thunder chargers better. i havnt tested range yet but it is quick across my desk. it tracks pretty straight considering the rear non drive wheel is loose on the axle(most cars are like this including bits). one of the front wheels wasnt perfectly molded but i can shave off the excess plastic. the body is pretty good quality for a clone.

i like the teal gars and i throw away the suspension plastic thing and use springs


2. hard ribbed front tires
soft slicks all around for me


3. powerful motor preferibly a 2.6
powerful = nothing tomy makes



4. 150 mah battery for that extra lil kick of power
mah has nothing to do with output power



5. optional MOSFET mod (optional)
aint done that yet



6. a carpet
i like tite weave carpet

With out springs in the front, you'll be bouncing around on that carpet like nobody's business..

All my cars cook across the carpet, and this is regular carpet in a house.. They fly across the tite shit.

And most tires are grippy on the carpet.. A good set up is when you can go from carpet to tile, or some other slick surface, and still be handling like a mofo...


silla :D
