Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Group Buy Mini Mondeo RC Cars?

TommyBoy --

Not a problem! I just don't want people to get confused. The cars I am talking about are not readily available in the US. Like I said, there is currenty only one distributor. I could either work with him, or try to import these cars myself and also be a distributor.

And $90 for these is not that much considering you get a modifiable, fully functioning car that fits in your pocket!

here is a site i found today...lots of info...if you can read spanish!

That's the Peogeot 206 WRC rally car with a custom paint job.

There are basically two versions of similar cars. the MiniZ is a little bigger (1/34 scale), but they offer many more body types and mods.

The Indoor Racers are smaller and don't have as much of an aftermarket. But I'd be willing to work on that if people are interested!

And the smallest are the Bit Char-G and Char-A cars. But those are not to scale. The proportions are more cartoon-like. like this -- these are only about 2.5 inches long! This is a custom Bit Char-G with bigger wheels and some other mods:

ok..well... i know this is a focus!!

did you see the cars you were talking about on any of the sites i posted?

i like the mini-z cars...they seem to have many options in all aspects...

i would like a little more info on the cars you are speaking of..

Yes, that site you posted had links to all three types of cars. The rundown is as follows:

MiniZ -- Most sophisticated of the bunch. About 1/24 scale, approx 6 inches long, RWD, lots of mods available. ~$130 shipped

MiniX -- Same as MiniZ, but with AWD and not as many mods. ~$150 shipped

Indoor Racer -- About 4.5 inches long, 1/43 scale, not many mods, but they are very fun and pretty quick little buggers! ~90 shipped

Bit Char-G -- Not to scale, about 2.5 inches long. Not as modifiable, but look like they are fun as hell. I am getting one of these to mess around with. ~$30 shipped

Bit Char-A -- The newer version of the Char-G, with a larger motor and batteries. ~$40 shipped

Each one of these cars has a remote and charger associated with it. The Char-G cars come in a case where the base is the charger and the controller. All have interchangable AM crystals so you can race many cars at once. Most of these are Japanese or Chinese made, there are some knock-offs that sell cheaper, but I have read that the quality is lacking.

My friend Mike and I would love to make more parts and bodies for any of these models. So whichever seems to be the most popular woudl be the one we concentrate on. To me, the MiniZ and MiniX cars are a bit too big and pricey. The Indoor Racers look very detailed and offer a good about of fun for less than 100 bucks. The Bit Char-G cars are goofy looking, but cheap and incredibly small!
