My kinda kick-ass bit clone

Chris · #1 09-10-2002, 04:40 PM

well, here is a picture of my bit. I have only hd it for about a week and a half and I have already done a couple of mods. I lowered the body a bit, put softer rear tires on, did a long range antenna mod, and please note the grill I put in the front. If anyone has time to give me an opinion, what do you think?

guess what, I just went to a hobby store to look at some bits and noticed a kinda screwed up looking bit on a desk. I asked the manager what was the story with the car and he told me it was broken. I asked if I could see it and noticed the only problem was that the gear was put on backwards. I asked the guy if I could buy it cheap for "scrap" and he just said I could have it for free. HOW COOL IS THAT?

the only problem is that the front right tire is missing. otherwise, I got a free chassis, motor, body, and rear gear set. I am not exactly sure what kind of body it is, though. here are the pics

That's pretty funny that somebody put the axle on backwards and just gave up when it didn't run.

Agreed, nice grill. How did you lower the body?

I lowered the body by grinding down the slots the tabs on the chassis click into. pretty easy and cool mod
