I went to biglots today and searched for the thunder chargers, no luck. I did find some microspeed cars for $6.99, I didn't buy one though becuase they look like crap and I know nothing about them. What's really cool is that they had a microspeed track set and body sets for cheap. I picked up 2 track sets and a body set. the track sets were $2.99 and the body set was $1.99.

I have one of the cars, its not the greatest but the body is good for custom work, the motor is good and the gears are ok. The best thing about them is the controller. I like the fast they have nubs instead of buttons for the controlls.
The track is good since its cheap. Great for laying out diff tracks to decide what is good layout B4 you go make real nice track and find out it sucks for more then 2 cars LOL.
I have yet to see the bodies around here though. they look like they have lot of potential for some cutom work there and they come with accessories lol.

The bodies are loose but they do fit on bits. For $2 I'm happy wit them. I got them mainly for the mod possibilities, and at this price I aint worried about screwin them up.

BTW that one body looks like a nice start to a nice looking truck

I got like a thousand freakin cones here in these track sets.
The pickup body was the reason I picked this body set up. A new paint job at the very least is needed on this puppy. I'm gonna get on it tonight hopefully.

Most likely. The 18"ers also work on most cars too without any problems. I haven't tried the rims on all the body tops but if they're cool wit the supra zz body then they'll most likely fit the others.

Is the track worth the cardboard box it's in? I need a table top track to put in my carrying case when I take my cars somewhere..

Oh goody cones
Is there enough of something to hold the car in the track or can you drive over the edges? Or do they expect you to put cones up and those to hold you on the track lol.

It aint hard at all to drive over the edges. I use the zip zaps barriers and plan to use this on the inner walls of my track.
