How much do they cost? They would be fun to play with at the track where I race my 1/10 Scale R/C cars. Also, has anyone ever seen a 240SX/180SX, Silva or Skyline body for 1/10scale cars?

i dont think you want to try to race this thing its about as big as a hot wheels car and the starter kit was 19.99 the performance kit was an extra 12.99. i just bought it for my rc car collection and because ive never seen a car this small that you can tune with different motors, gears, suspention, body, and wheels.

Hell no i wouldnt race it with the big boys. One of my cars will run near 40mph. It would just be fun to run it on the workbench or on the track wile we are between races. The motor in my cars are bigger that that thing. It would be a new toy to chase the cats around the house. (if they dont try to eat the poor thing)

I was gona buy a Mini-Z but that $179.99 price tag stoped me. I got started when my granddad took his truck to get washed the guy also had a little hobby shop and a track. That was 2 years ago and now I have 4 cars and no place to race since he got shot.

i've got two Bit Char-G's the rx-7 and the skyline....they have upgradable gear ratios, motors, tires, etc....some dude even made a light kit for it with working headlights, taillights, turnsignals, etc. on the internet. anyways the bit char-g is the original micro rc car...not sold really in the US had mine shipped from HK about 8 months ago.....but this zip zaps look like the same thing but cheaper. the MICRO IR are hella fast....fastest ones so far....there are also those MODIFIER things....sold at Kaybee's.
