Bit CharG At the Conoco Gas Stations?

Stopped by this morning to get gas and a Diet Coke. Looking around I found a 2" long police car with a silver and yellow rectangular controller. Looked it over slightly just to check the price and it was under 20 bucks. Looked like a Bit CharG but not having seen one in person I can only speculate.

The next time I go by I'll pick one up and take some pics.

Wow... I don't think that Bits are that widely spread out yet... If it is a bit, and its under $20.00 bucks, then its a steal -- the office supply store here just dropped their price to $45.50!!!

I doubt that its a Bit, but the pictures will tell for sure.

DAMZer, did it look more like one of these:

http://tinyrc.com/shop/product.php?pid=21

? These are OEM Bit Char-Gs (licensed technology from TOMY but produced by 3rd parties), and in another line of business I'm in I've seen them being promoted for use as a promo item recently.

Nope, they look exactly like the standard packaging, except they were all black and white police cars!! Rectangular box with the car in the lower left and the controller in the upper right.

Ah, good clue there, did they include cones? If so they are a BC-G knock-off, I think their name is Micro Q (not to be confused with Digi Q), and I've never seen one IRL so not sure of the quality.

Don't remember the cones but Micro Q sounds familiar.

That looks like it some american, slightly modded, cheap nock off of a bit charge. Changed just enough not to get in the way of oriental lawyers
