Roll Bar's !!!!

I took two very thick paper clips cut them up and made roll bars over the top of my bit, it works great because when i roll over it just keeps rolling until it lands back on its wheels! I wish i could take some picks becuase this is truly bad ass....i also tried to make some tires from a pencil grip and it just didn't work the pencil grips don't have the indentions like the actual bit tires. And, as for driftingi have found the best way is to keeps your stock tires on and if you have a wooden, stone or any floor that is smooth without cracks, grout, etc... you can put some vegetable oil down and it will make it really slick but do it in a place with little traffic cause i already busted my ass on it wearing socks... could have something to do with me being drunk but still do it in a place where theres little traffic ( i know from mistakes)

Decent

I think there is a better stronger material but i've yet to find one that was easily attached like the paper clips are i thought about using some small steel but it was way to hard to bend without firing the mother ****er up and i didn't feel like doing that. Its great to watch it roll over about 6 times and still land upright
