a sick idea, but how about adding the front end of another bit/clone to the back to help with steering? but mount it backwards, so when the front wheels turn right to go right, the rear wheels turn left to swing the back end out.. that would be a pretty insane setup

I seen a diecast limo that is the perfect size for a bit limo, I should have bought it but we were in a hurry.
This thing must have been almost 5 inches long.

that's an interesting idea 8ate8....that would be kinda sick though. I did think about trying to hook up dual steering in the front, but the problem was, with the way the steering boxes are setup I couldn't get the two sets of wheels close enough to make steering possible.

Sluggbugg....that is awesome....i've looked everywhere for one, and i can't seem to find one. Where did you see it?

they have them at a place called Canterbury Village in the toy store, this place is a christmas themed mall with several different stores and resturants.

The limo costs $2.75

This an awsome idea! Post pics when you finish!

I almost have the body finished, i should be able to post up the pics next week. The body is taking a little longer than i origionally figured, i've had too use alot of modeling putty to fix things that i have screwed up while stretching the clone body.

I found a cheap plastic limo body just yesterday that's perfect. MiniCrowe - email me and I can get you one for my cost ($1.08 plus $1.00 shipping). I'd love to see you do this. You can see pics of it here (the bottom one):

and here:

If you want, measure the distance between the center of the front and rear wheels and I'll do the same for the wheel wells and we can see if it will easily fit on your chassis.

These bodies are plastic and really light. All it needs is a good paint job. I'm going to work on my ZipZap limo this weekend.

Oh - one more thing...that limo chassis might also fit in the school bus I picked up at Big Lots too:

If you want the limo or the schoolbus, let me know.

Just another update....I started painting tonight, the body is going to be a dark purple with kinda a sparkle in it. It ended up purple, because I was building it for my girlfriend, and thats the color she wanted.

MiniCrowe · #28 12-19-2002, 09:07 PM

Just in case anyone else comes across a body that might fit on my limo, the measurments from the center of the front wheel to the center of the back are exactly three inches.

thanks
