Nice quad cell mod on the dragster.

That car is sick, just too sick.

Is that a custom chasis?

Sweet.........

JESUS..........

How many times have you run it? Are you sure the PCB can handle 4.8 volts? Seems a little sketchy to run 4 times the suggested voltage.

again, VIDEOS!!

as for the tires i'm not sure what they were off of but i'll ask my buddy what he destroyed to get them. Basically i created new axles and put the tires on them. Quite tedious to get everything lined up straight but it turned out good.

I don't believe it!!! You made a Bit Rail-car.

That has got to be the absolute coolest mod I've seen ANYBODY do to a Bit! (Sorry everybody else, but it's a 4 cell nitro-methane rail car that still has steering)

That is too incredibly fu*king cool!

How did you make the body?

Very cool ripper7777777! What is the scale top speed of that dragster? Doesn't it flip at top speed? What motor does it use?

ripper7777777 · #23 01-23-2003, 10:39 AM

Thanks everyone for the great comments, I'll try and answer all the questions.

Motor = Turbo Motor

Scale Top Speed = F*****G FAST

Does it Flip = No it doesn't even lift the front wheels, just takes off.

Body = Handcrafted out of Polystyrene and polyester glazing putty (auto filler)

Chassis = extended with .060 black polystyrene

Steering = Yes, about a 2' radius, very easy to handle, I first tested in my kitchen

How many times have I run it = 4

Can it handle 4 batts = Don't know, Don't care, it was a 9.99 fit racer if it burns I'll replace the pcb. If it burns I'll let everyone know.

Videos = Maybe, will see, I've got alot of other projects right now, and I'm gonna make another one so maybe I'll video a race.

Thanks again everyone, it was fun to build and who knows maybe I started something.

Please keep us posted on the PCB, I want to do the mod, but I don't want to burn my PCB.

You must be a proud man...

BenCloned · #26 01-29-2003, 01:36 PM

According to spec's on the PCB, it should handle 5 volts, so the 4-cell mod is safe. The motor........? Hope you have a bunch of spares. Smoke=bad.

XeroGT-R you bet I'm proud

Project RC the pcb has handled it fine like BenCloned said the worry is the motor, it seems okay if you stick with the lower motors, I have a ZZ turbo in it and I've used the ZZ blue motor with no problems, but I tried a 2.6 and it didn't seem to like it, I think the thinner wires in the higher rev motors can't take the power. But if your worried about frying the pcb then maybe you shouldn't try this because not all cars are created equal, not to mention it's real easy to destroy a car when you cut it in half to stretch a chassis.

I did a two cell mod, and my zz runs fine. I wouldn't do the 4 cell for a while tho.

BenCloned · #29 01-30-2003, 09:33 AM

2 - cell seems to be the way to go. From my experience, that's where you see the most improvement. Also, nearly all the PCB's and motors can handle it.

that is a wicked wicked machine, the dragster is a work of perfection, so cool man! and diesel boy your truck/car is nice, nice nice nice! i'd love to see videos of both the dragster and diesel boy's creation, wow i am truly humbled. cool mods dudes
