Ultimate Bit Char-G, Phase I complete
Hi there folks! Just stopping by to show off a couple of my early Bit projects. Here's the first, Phase I of the Ultimate Bit Char-G project.
Mods include, but are not limited to:
Sculpted, lowered, lightened body
Lightened chassis
Lightened wheels (4 spokes now)
Lightened pinion gear
Modified wheels (for a better tire contact patch)
Trued tires
Unravelled & lightened antenna
Scuffed motor plate (increased heat dissipation? Nah, just for looks actually  )
Removed front tiebar
Motor that made me put my 3.8's in cold storage
Full details of the project are here:

This is just Phase I of the project, and Phase II has already begun. It'll be getting lower, faster, and more unique!

Thanks for the kind support, guys.
In my original post, there's a bolded link to the Ultimate Bit Char-G project page. It has numerous pictures, plus detailed descriptions of what I've done so far. That should answer most questions about the car.

Sure, here ya go:

That shows the bulk of what was removed, just the sides of the tub. I also put some holes in the undersurface and shaved corners a bit. In phase 2 of the project, I'll be making more dramatic moves. I'm world-reknown for Dremelling 1/10th scale trucks and keeping them strong, but with these little Bits, I had no idea how they'd hold up and preferred to be safe rather than sorry lol

I'll try to get some video up once Phase II is done, to show just how much of a difference can be made between a stock bit and a modified one
