"bit rig" buildup
http://www.hotwheels.com/us/product....tegory_id=7625
hope that link works. but the "bit rig" is a hotwheels. its pretty heavy, but that helps out the front steering out. the wheels of the cab are a good match to the bit wheels. to add the third axle with the trailer attachment, i connected thru the 2 holes under the motor. a paint job will come soon. im thinking optimus prime
to attach, i filed a slot in the front grille like a bit. between the mufflers are the gas cans. i filed out a slot in the cans to hold the cab in place, with the help of a couple extra steering magnets to hold the cab down. it assembles/disassembles pretty easily for storage. ill try to take pics later without the cab on.
the next "bit rig" is going to be a longnose.
and yes i have a mario. they have these extra wheel wheels that go over the regular rims, im pretty sure is to make it look like a cart, but they help keep mario from flipping.

hot wheels pavement pounders
there's a good choice for you next truck
the 1 with silver cab & red trailor (shogun racing) looks cool
it looks as if a normal bit would fit under it & only front wheel wells to worry about
i have just had quick look for them in uk but nothing yet
(all sellers seem to be in usa) if any 1 has seen them in uk let us know

baggy: if you want that shogun one, i saw it a couple of days ago. we can do a trade or something. and yea the shogun fits bits well. others with the trailers dont fit bits in the back well.

new truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I am going to build one of those trucks they kick spleen! I'm going to use 2 motorworks rc's because they have lots of power. dual batts. (maybey 3) dual motors. hopefully it will pull like the BORAX mules. also what kind of pulling power do your rigs have? and what did you do to attach the hot wheels flatnose cab? Also sweet job on all the trucks guys hope mine turns out half as well.

this thing is sweet. the only thing i dont like about it is the childish look of the super deformed cab/trailer. but, even still, its pretty darn sweet!

i really dont have anything to trade but can send money if you have paypal acount
i have bought from usa before & it costs loads more to post than it does to buy it
but if they were reasonably priced & was cheap to post then i would buy from usa more often
