Kingofjapan, why don't you try to make a light skirt from a black balloon. That shouldn't be too heavy.

woe is me ... woe is me im so jelous of you king of jap.... your sponcered for bit char g's! thats like the best thing in the world to me ( and proberly you too!). its like been my dreams to be a sponcered bitist. ive bin spocered by skate shops but an exellent bit place like tiny rc .......... my friends treats bits and mini rc like a joke. no1 has heard of it around the uk. i wish i had the talent to have some reconition.... well done king of japan ..

my dreams have flashed befor my eyes........

i think if you come up with an innovative idea that tiny can help with i see the same thing happening. that kind of project can end up in hobbylink japan or some such - it's way out there! things like my musical greeting card horn don't cut it lol. like those digi-q submarines, anything that pushes the hobby forward and promotes mini r/c is worth backing!

yo, bloke, you skate? Dude thats awesome. I just got sponsored but I'd still ove to be sponsored on Bits. Thats sick. Anyway, keep skatin for life.

yeah man ... board and inline. im pretty good bin inlinein for bout 3 months and sponcered and bin board for about a month and sponcered

ive come up wid an idea. thanx for inspiring me jing of japan. dont worry it hasnt got anything to do with hoverbit its just something i wanna try. this is no competition. i dont want it to look like that,

ill post pics of my project in around 1-2 months when it should be near completion

( im waiting for bits and parts )

[Kingofjapan]

you're one to talk, mr. "hoovercraft"

Two motors and four batts.. that's a lot of power! Guess you won't be charging that with the regular controller since it's 4.8v. There is a 4-cell batt pack in the Epoch Racer shop that Tiny could probably give you a good deal on, but you might prefer single cells so you can spread the weight out evenly. Or maybe you are only using some of those but wanted some spare parts to experiment with.

I think this is a cooler project than the bit plane! Post more pics whenever you get something else done.

Hows the project coming along? You Ace your finals yet? You obviously have the brains. Can't wait to see more pics.

i will make one and it will fly in the air fast

[Kingofjapan]

hey guys, my finals are coming up and i will have tonnes of time after them, i am going to try to make the pan chassis and the hovercraft at the same time. HEY TINY! you said you guys would help me out.
i gave you an e-mail and you didn't reply...yeesh, talk about reliability. I just need 4 NiMH batts. is that too much to ask

post pics soon.

niiiiiiiice

[strakka]

how much is should this cost you king of japan?

[Stridex]

I have an idea for a hoverbit. While the best solution would be to use a skirt so you can take it over any smooth surface, I thought of another posibility. I'm not going to try this, but would love to see someone else try this. What if you made a track. But, this track is covered with strong magnets. All laying face up with the same polarity. Then you build your bit pan with the same magnet but facing the same polarity down. You wouldn't be able to use the magnet as a steering mechanism so you'd have to control the fan that would push this with a second motor. Would this work? What would someone have to watch out for if they attempted this? Is it even worth attempting?

hmmmmmmm
