Pic from TOMY site showing an array of Bit Char-G's
Clockwise starting from top left:
- Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) red G-05 57mhz
- Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) yellow G-06 45mhz
- Toyota Celica black G-07 35mhz
- Toyota Celica silver G-08 27mhz
- Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) white G-04 27mhz
- Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) blue G-03 35mhz
- Honda S2000 yellow G-02 45mhz
- Honda S2000 silver G-01 57mhz
The first generation Bit Char-G's, G-01 through G-04 (S2000 and Skyline) came with the faster 2.2 bit motors, while the latter G-05 through G-08 sport a torquier but sluggish 1.0 bit. Tomy's intention for the latter series was to enable the driver more control and the ability to run in small areas (eX-Driver's reference).
All new Toyota Trueno (AE86) Special Set G-09 27mhz
This set is already available for 5000yen. As you can see from the photo, it comes with many options, including different tension front stabliser sets, tires, spare body and more! A true Hachi Roku fan would be very pleased, like myself. It comes with the faster 2.2 bit but only in 27mhz.
