Bit man converted ZipZap...

For the past 5 months, I wouldn't consider anything but a Tomy Bit Char-G. But yesterday but my main Bit broke and I wanted to buy a replacement locally. My only option for a non-clone was a ZipZap, so I bought it.

I am overly impressed, it is much superior to the Bit in my eyes. So much easier to work on (longer steering wires), handles better, looks better.. all I can say is WOW. The engine has plenty of kick too, and I only have the 2.15 motor. The 12:1 gearing is also great, and what's even better is the interchangability between Bit and ZZ parts.

My band new Zipzap already has a TinyRC.com R-Spec motor, 150mAh NiMH, spring suspension, dual steering springs, fullsize Tomy Bit black SE wheels, 8.25:1 gearing, soft front swaybar, and pink/purple Bit tires. Not bad huh?

Please give me some other mod ideas, I am strictly into speed/performance. I do NOT want to do the dual/tri cell mods. Thanks!

For the first time my mini is reliable, looks great, fast, and corners awesome.

Well, you could try to do the rare earth magnet upgrade for better handling. As for speed, the KIT racer gearsets kick some serious asphalt......There is the 3.43:1, 3.95:1, and 4.57:1 gearing ratios for a lot of speed.....however those gearsets don't have too much torque. Also try the 4.2 motors from Toyeast.com
They have fair torque and great speed! And you don't HAVE to do the dual cell mod, that's O.K., but I suggest you either do the Layman's Cell mods, OR consult Micro_Amps for his FET mods. He charges 10-20 dollars for the modding/modded cars, but it's worth it....from what I hear.

Anyways, go to www.rcmod.com/mods.html or www.questformadness.com for cool modifications. They are great resources. I hope that solves your questions! Oh and BTW, try my special 2:1 gearing ratio mod.
