Are bit char-g's easy to mod? Please read.

I want to put a double batt. mod and headlight mod , and many more.

Which one would be easier/roomier to do these kinds of things?


Also, if i buy the yoshi or mario racer bit char-g's can i still put new bodies on them later on?

I would say pick up a couple of clones to experiment on, and when you are confident in your abilities, get a Bit, but I don't think it makes much diff after the mods go in.

well to answer your question there are easy and dificult mods... if you want to change tyres, transmissions, batteries motors, etc.. this all is very easy to do (i still count them has mods because they can change the results of your car), when you start messing around with the circuit board then it becomes sometimes hard to do... but that all depends on your experience. like strider_mt2k said, just buy some clones and mod them, if you're confident with the results then mess around with your bit. At least the led mod you want to do can be done very easily, you'll just need some soldering skills. check the questformadness page for some tips

I don't see a name on any of those.
And are your fingers busted? Peel 'em off man! lol!

Some of the graphics are pretty nice under those crappy stickers. Far nicer than some of the lame DIY paint jobs I've seen here.

Yeah, my fingers are busted

I like the solid looking one colored paint jobs. No stickers, racing stripes, or splashed graphics/paint for me. What can I say, I'm boring.

man... one color... and just black! when i get my wrx im gonna see if i can make it look like this:



im prolly gonna change the wheels into the alloy ones if tiny gets them in his store!

did u go to sigmaautomotive.com? kinda expensive over there but they got alot of stuff to choose from

krillin52, If you put some zipzap wheels on your bit, you can definately make your WRX look like that picture.

Edit: Quick photochop

edit2: finished the job

Heheh, nice.

The Shen Qi Wei clones are pretty good IMO, they have a very powerful motor, good range, and good steering. They go for about 15 bucks at toy stores in my area.
My brother got what looked like a shen at Lord and Taylor, it was called a "precious" racer or sometging to that effect. It had a yellow 2.2 motor, and a grey chassis (vs. black). It looked to be of decent quality, but my Shen would can circles around it. He is buying some KIT racers to get get the motors, so he can keep up with me...

If your gonna do any PCB mods, or multi cell mods - I would buy a Shen (or other clone) to experiment on, rather than a genuine Bit or MicroSizer. Working with SMD components requires a delicate touch, and good soldering equipment.

i agree with that. thing is ive seen micro sizers here for 20 bucks at target. not to bad of a price. also i was gonna ask you guys, what would be better to experiment on, shens or Lxx Char-g? im thinking the Lxx Char-g is closer to the original since it has an original looking controller.

Not boring! That car looks great!
