Are microsizer sports better than the pros. Is the sport worth $15 or should i spend the extra money and get a Pro?
Thanks,
Josh

Pro's are 2 speed and the Sports aren't.
Pro's come with a 2.2 motor, Sport's come with a 1.6.
Pro's come with an extra clear body, Sport's don't.

So it's really up to you. If you like the idea of 2-speed, go with a Pro, etc.

Get both!!

When I picked up my first Bit back in April/May, I got a 2-Speed AutoModellista set from Fred Meyer.
The 2-Speed feature wasn't the only attraction for me, but what a very cool feature indeed!

Personally, I like the 2-Speeds better.

Where are you racing?
A small track (kitchen table, =< 4'x4', etc.) I would go with a 2-Speed.

A large track (open floor, =>8'x4', etc.) I would go with either. On the 8'x4' oval track I have, we're almost at top speed the whole time when we race.

I am a little bummed about how the Tomy micro 'B' motors perform in the 2-Speeds without the turbo boost on. I have much more performance with non-tomy brand motors. But this talk might be for after you get some Bits.

First, get a Bit, then start digging in to this wealth of information that is at your disposal here at BitPimps.

Don't pay $15.00 for a Sport!!!!!!!!
Target, Dollar General, TRu and others cleared them for $5.00
They cleared the Pro's for $9.99. WHere are you getting these from?
Sounds like a LHS

Get the pro and do [this mod] to it. It's the Anti-boost mod, it inverses the function of the boost button. So that when you press it, the car slows down

. You will have full throttle all the time and have about half when you press the "brake".

This mod gives the best out of any 2-speed bit. After that, mod the bit to the maxx and you can still drive it at a controllable speed

Thanks I think I'll get a pro. The 2 speed and better motor sound good to me. Target has Microsizers?

Where can I buy one besides the LHS? I have a Zip Zapmt and a se but I want to get a Microsizer because they sound like they are better than Zip Zaps.

Anybody know where I can pick one up at?

Patience boy. www.ebay.com will start you off. KBtoys and Target should have microsizers. There are many places, but unless you want a clone, the best place to get a real bit is online.

FYI, don't ever double post, that's just plain retarded shit that will get you an ass load of grief.

Always, Alway check out "Da Hook-Up" !! We always post deals we find over there. Target & TRU aren't gonna have any, they cleared them out months ago, at least the ones in my area. There are some really decent clones out there to be had cheap! Case in point, the Rally Racer (soapbox please) from KBToys, a rebadged Shen Qi Wei which IMO are the best Micros on the Planet ! (that I know of

)

They are pretty much out of full Microsizer sets, but they have plenty of parts & "Speed Sets" which is the car without the controller.

For $2.49 you can pick up a few and get a controller from someone here in Da Hood. One thing that happens when you get into this hobby is you collect an enormous amount of controllers (Tx). I'm sure you won't have a problem getting a couple donated. "If You Ask Nicely"
