Old or Crappy MicroSizer?

CheeseWarfare · Post by **CheeseWarfare** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 5:39 pm

I was in a local toy store today and I saw a MicroSizer so I one and brought it home (It was 35.99) Well it was an RX-7 and I assumed it was an MS pro. When I opened it up and saw there was no booster I was like WTF? Then I thought well I guess its a Sport but that can't be right it was an RX-7 and I checked all the manuals they said nothing about Pro, sport, or Auto Modelista. I was like WTF again. Then I get it running with a ZZ 2.8 it sputters and doesn't go constantly. Again...WTF?!? I'm kinda pissed by such a RIP!

I ask you is this an Old MS or just a P.O.S Sport?

I never suspected my favorite toy store when i was little to RIP ME OFF LIKE THAT!

Sounds like the old MS to me.

I've got 2, one my only complaint was the rock hard tires, the other was fine, but if I paid $35 I'd probably be bitching too. My $15 Sports seem like they have more power.

You get that from Kay-B? Mines chargeing $35 for theirs too. That's outrageous when you can get the Sports and the Pros across the street at Toys R Us.

It was a local store called Phillip's Toymart. It used to be my favorite store when i was little.I would go there and get Thomas The Tank Engine toys there.I can't believe they'd rip me off

EDIT: A god I hate the floppy antenna.

Well we were about to check out when I saw it and I look at the box and pretty much assumed it was an MS Pro. Il have to watch mah self next time

.

EDIT: Lol I lost the motor that came with it so I popped in a ZZ 3.5 and my it screams!

Then I popped in a 100 NiMH Battery in it and I've been playing with it for atleast 15 and I never had to charge

. Oddly only some ZZ motors fit like my 3.4 didn't fit

. But now i got a huge axle slipping problem. If it crashes into a wall in my track it slips and if u touch it and apply just the tiniest presure to the rear and off it goes. I tried the methods of anti-slip that work fine on ZZ's. I stuck so electrical tape by the hole and pushed it in but if i push it as far a it needs to go the axle won't turn. But man this thing is pimped speed with the 2.3! I flipped and did awesome drift stops

. Anyone got help with my axle prob?

I'll have to go get an MS Pro soon! I wanna c that turbo booster lol!

Damn I just discovered a tooth broken off the idler gear...Is that a 12:1 gear? I got peltnty of extra 12:1 idlers.

@CheeseWarfare MS's come stock with the orange 9.86:1 gear.

@Rx-7 sounds like only one steering coil works. When you reverse the magnet, the working coil repels. You want the magnet in so that the working coil is attracting, and then you need to find where your steering wire may have come disconnected from. that would be my best guess. If your steering wire doesn't appear broken, then I don't know what could be up.

I replalaced the idler with a Zip 9:86 ider and my gear slipping problem is a memory of the past
