How the heck do you pop the shell off of the chassis?
 

I've only got an OEM, and since I've read other threads that say Bit Char-G bodies don't fit well on OEM chassis I dun wanna crack it or something. Do I pop off the front end first? And do I need to use a screwdriver or something to pry it off from underneath? Thx.

the bodies are pretty flexible. I make sure that when I'm putting the bodies on that the back clip is in then, then push down the front. when taking it off, I just do the reverse. front, then pull it off the back clip

Lightly squeeze the front of the body, in front of the wheels. This will cause the (grille area) to flex away from the front clip making it easier to pop off. While squeezing with one hand, use the other to work the chassis out. front first, then the back. I f you need a pic let me know

Well I tried to squeeze the sides, but there was no flexing what so-ever on the OEM shell. So I spent like an hour trying to pull it off, but I had no where to grip on the chassis. So I looped some dental floss under where the shell clips on and pulled the front part of the shell forward while holding the chassis down with my hand and pulling the chassis back with the floss looped around my wrist ^_^

Dude, hold the car like this

well i just hold the sides of the car then i put my thumb under the front of the car and put my index finger on the hood nd i peel it like im opening a can of pop:D

Cool, thx =) Maybe the OEM bodies are stiffer or something, I dunno. My bro went to get a Tomy Bit Char-G today, so I'll hafta see how they compare.

Alright my bro got a Bit Char-G Impreza, and damn the shell is like 10 times easier to take off than on the OEM! I couldn't believe it. And it took the Bit Char-G like 10 mins to run outta power cuz it's got like a 1.0 motor in it. What do the OEM Bullets have in them? 2.2?

I believe that most of them come with a 2.6
