      bodykits are done with moulding putty onto the shell and then painting the putty or repainting the shell..

      flip?
      depends on the surfaces and tire compounds.
      the site is a US site, in Kentucky.

      aight!! anyways i’ve got new batteries for my bit char-g and it seems to run really slowly.. i’m on a 2.2 motor, the yellow one, and when i played it the first time it seemed real fast but now it seems kinda slow.. don’t have any idea why.. anyone of you know why?

      we’d just be guessing without knowing more info. but here’s the guesses I would take first:

      – your batteries are fully charged? may take more than 1 45 sec. charge to get the full.
      – have you been putting a lot of strain on the 2.2? and which 2.2? MicroSizer – Bit? I’ve had troubles with Microsizer 2.2’s before. If you put too much strain on the motor, like driving the car at speed and it hitting something and abruptly stopping, over time the motor can ‘fade’ out, or the brushes in the motor loose their ‘seating’. Does your motor make any weird noises or is it louder than it used to be? Could be the brushes.
      – have you disconnected and reconnected some wires? either by soldering or another method? if so, your connection might not be that great causing a loss of power.
      – is there a ‘short’? are bare wires touching eachother or the PCB? if so, this could cause problems too.

      I’m outta guesses now – hope something there helps ya:smiley2:

      hmm… i fully charge them till the lcd light goes out.. and well i got the motor off the tomy bit racer which comes with a 2.2 motor.. it doesnt make any weird noises or sounds so i guess it couldnt be the brushes losing their seating.. but then the plastic thing that covers the chip keeps coming off and i must say that i am a aggresive driver and soem wires may have come loose.. so i;m guessing it must be the wiring..

      probably is the wiring.

      but I’ll also tell you that just because that LED light went out, doesn’t mean your batteries are fully charged, especially if the batteries in your controller are going dead. You might want to try charging till the LED goes off, take off the car from charging station, and immediately put it back on again until the LED goes out again.
