What were the absolute "Worst" Micro RC's

I gotta say the
Bensu! They had more unique body styles than Bits but
they sucked when it came to everything else !!!

Agreed on the Bensu... I also had one labeled "Thor" that was just as shitty, and I believe it was just a re-labeled Bensu... the "Cannonball" Bensus weren't too too bad, but parts weren't compatible with other bits/clones... what really made those ones worthwhile, though, was the cool little stand alone charger...
Also, there are clones by a company called Sen Fa that 219 and myself bought a bunch of on eBay that were pretty shoddy...
But the all time worst, IMO, were the Motorworks trucks with the die-cast bodies that came in a set with the micro boats... I had high hopes for this thing, it was dual celled out of the box, and with the heavy body removed it was an absolute rocket... a rocket that never went straight, no matter how I configured the steering magnets, tweaked the centering spring, whatever else I tried, it had a mean left hook that I could not fix...
I still have the remains of it in a baggie in my bit box, someday I'd like to try to stuff the pcb and cells into a ZZ chassis or something...

Those little Fast and Furious Cars that came in the NOS bottle they were the size of hot wheels and they were a cool idea but the would not run for Crap! I moded a few and they would not steer and the range sucked!

Really? Damn, i liked mine, maybe i got lucky.
I've never really had a really bad experience with a bit.
My worst experience is those Nkok Trucks, they look good, and are hella fast but the turning sucks arse. Could never get it to run right.

I agree BENSU were the worst for me. Although BIT helmets get the silliest idea award.

The worse I had was a Fit Racer. The company wouldn't even replace it when I sent it back, they stated it was running for them. I guessed they expected everyone to push the damned thing.

The Bensu and Sen Fa bits do SUCK!
Allthough, I have a set called "The Four Diamond Kings" by Challenger-Racing. It comes with a chassis and 4 bodies. Blue, red, yellow, and white. They all tend to look like Mitsu Evo's.
The front of the controller is like a MS, but you insert the car into the back of the TX under a little bubble that pops open, to charge it. A little bit cocoon.
Other than the TX setup, the cars suck! Crappy tires, crappy chassis, but decent bodies.
Here is a link to one for sale on Ebay....

I agree with bilbo , Fitracers just damn right suck. Period.
And worst of all , thats the ONLY micro I have seen here , besides shen's and if they think im paying nearly $20USD + shipping a pop for a shen clone , they can ............

I never had a Fit-Racer, or a Bensu.
But yes, those Sen-Fa bits totally suck.
I bought a set of four, all different frequencies, on E-bay.
They came with extra motors and tires, too.
Somewhere around $20.00. I think you got the same deal SG219?
Anyway, suck. All of 'em. From controller problems to flat out non-runners.....
And NOT because of the batteries, those of course were shot as well.
Tires are loose, axles bent, on and on and on.
The names of the Sen-Fa brand bodies are hilarious though.
