I NEED these!

 

I want one too!!!!!!!!!!!

The one on ebay went for 52 bucks!

Anyone else smell a group buy????????

 

Glad to know I'm not the only one that thought these looked kewl ...

Here's the tomica bit racer web site (in Japanese) ...

I agree that these seem like a great potential for a group buy ... anybody have a source?

I've sent emails to several Tomica dealers (including the ebay sellers) ... will let everyone know what I hear back.

Have fun,

I'm in for a GB.

 

I bought a Kyosho Mini-Z racer a few weeks back, added working headlights, parking lights, and brake lighs and built a circuit to brighten the brake lights when power is not applied (braking) and dim them when power is applied (not braking). I also added brake caliper grease to the open diff to give it a limited slip effect. It all worked great and was a lot of fun for a few weeks. then a connection on my brake light controller broke. While I was resoldering, I shorted something out and fried the reciever/speed control. I just sent it in for repairs yesterday.

Here's the one I have:

And here's the S2000, since I figure that's what most of you would want:

Rev, both links come back saying the stock number is now invalid.

 

try it now.

btw, mini-z's are quite fast. good for about 15 mph.

 

That works. The Tamiya R/C model at that site interests me.
