This is one of the better sites:

How can you control the bastards!? They're so freakin' small.
When they come out with a "DelSol" model, I'll get interested .

 

[mlin81]

there is a remote to it... remember those old skool ones that have the 2 joys.... one to go forward and back, one to go left/right.... its like that

yeah... i wish they'd come out with a del sol one... but it looks like i will have to settle for a S2000, RX7, Skyline, or NSX... damn...

www.towerhobbies.com,
dammit no civics, but sweet ass you can even tune them up with bigger motors and suspension arms

I prefer the mini-z from kyosho(www.kyosho.com) plus you can always buy a 1:24 scale sol model and adapt it to the mini

 

[mlin81]

yeah.. the mini z's definitly have more detail, but...

1) how much are they?
2) can u mod them with new engines, gears, suspension peices... etc...
3) they arent as small as the bit char-g

you can get them starting at $85 and they have lots of hop ups

you change motors, gears , suspension, differentials, bodies and the list goes on...they even make turbos for them...well electrical turbos.

I´m hooked on them and even race.

I have two of the Bit Char G's. Got both from eBay and had no problems. From different places too.

If anyone wanted either of them, I'd be glad to sell them. They are really cool, but I'm looking to get a little money to put into a new project, so these qualify as expendable. I have the silver Celica and the blue and silver Skyline. The Skyline was the Special Edition with a larger/faster engine than the Celica. Both only used about two hours total and still look new. They are a blast to drive around.

They were only $20 in CA? They go for twice that on eBay now. Just the overseas shiping is almost that much! Geez....go buy them all and sell for twice as much!

yeah... thats a lil too expensive to me.... i dont wanna spend all that money on a toy car, when i could spend it on my real one...

but i still like the idea of a mini RC.... i think ill get the char-g

 

[MikeKid]

the $20 ones are the knockoffs.... the real ones are the Char-G's are the real ones that go for $50....

 

[mlin81]

nah.... they say tomy char-g... the fake-me-out ripoffs say something in chinese....

tomys are anywhere from 19-35 bones... depending on where you look... only ones that are around 50 are the special edition or collector edition cars

i just bought one last week from a dude off ebay: a skyline w/ a 3.0 motor for 37 bucks total (shipping from hong kong included)

this is the pict

 

[crappy sol]

I have the supra with the 3.8 motor.. i can't grip on nothing. It be peeling out and spinning liek whoa. But i'm working on a del sol body for it. It's already out there. i talked to this guy who had it, it was pretty badass
