Go Fast, Be Free with Low CCUndisputed Post Pimp
I’ll be doin some pullback wheels on future mods, I like the KIT wheels better on this one. I don’t particularly like black wheels unless it goes with the paint sceme I’m doing….I like the “Bling”

If It Won’t Fly……ModifyQuote:Not bad dude…i wouldnt have chosen the white tho cos it looks like the windows are fogged—-
Go Fast, Be Free with Low CCUndisputed Post Pimp
I didn’t like the “fogged” look either but it was in the frequency I wanted and the only one that was neutral so I wasn’t limited to a certain color. All the MS Sport Series Micro’s are fogged. Besides, it was that or a green, orange, yellow, purple or blue fog which wouldn’t have gone with the paint sceme (color).

Quote:Man, my first paint job didn’t even come close to looking that nice:sad:. I like the side mirrors, what did you use?Impreza :smiley16:
Silver Paint. The one’s on my current project (bB) came out better.
My hand was a bit more steady….DarkTari
If It Won’t Fly……ModifyQuote:ahh so it was a partial paint job, you left the original white.are you using enamel or acrylic on the BB? no need to coat the enamel. i love my Bb’s can’t wait!!!
True, but when you detail (lights, mirrors, exhaust, decals) it’s good to clear coat it to keep all that time consuming delicate detail stuff from wearing off. Know what I mean ?

Thanx for the Compliment…..
Nope! Never! My very first attempt! I guess I’m a perfectionist by nature so I studied a lot of pic in the various forum galleries. This was fancied after a car I saw in a gallery that impressed me so much…
http://www.questformadness.com/
Check the gallery! The “Guam” car! that’s sweet.
I thought about the black & copper but this being my first try, I thought I’d keep it as simple as possible, just a partial paint job but put all the colors in the right places. I’m doing a bB now, just putting the finishing touches on then I’ll clear coat it and I’ll post that one soon, see how you like that one.DarkTari

If It Won’t Fly……ModifyI’ve got one, not this particular one. I bought one from a tool sale for $19.00 with all the accessories. It’s great for modding. I dremeled out my chassis recently to do a in-car dual bat mod. Modded the wheel wells for my full wheel mod. It can be used to slot the body for lowering, pruning tires for more grip, cutting bodies for modding, etc. For $10.00, you can’t go wrong.

If It Won’t Fly……ModifyOh no, My Precious is fine now that I changed out the pinion. It is a great running car, I have no complaints now! It must have been some kind of defect with the motor bay. The KIT pinion shouldn t work without the KIT idler and rear.
I tried to use the KIT gears in an MS with the 3.5 (which is a low torquer), it’s just won’t jump off the line quick enought for me. Now when dragging a longer distance, I use all the KIT gears cause top speed is a “Mounster” with them in.

If It Won’t Fly……ModifyYou’re right about that! But it still wouldn’t be as quick as the same car with a Bit axle & gears. Now top end is another story. My first attemp at using the KIT wheels was with a Skyline w/an Extreme 3.5. The motor wasn’t a high torquer and with the KIT gearing, it was a dog off the line but once it got up to speed, it was “shmokin”.
The only reason I can see to use them is for the wheel design. Personally I like the stock Bit/MS wheels better than the KIT, they look more show. But the KIT wheels are different from the norm, they look more racey therefore makes them more desirable. I just put the KIT wheels on the Bit axles w/gear and call it a day.DarkTari

Quote:I just saw KIT racer cars at Big W, they have been reduced to $19.76.Good Lawd! What does that equal in US dollars???
All the Dept. Stores here are clearing them out. We get them for $2.99 on clearance at Target here in the US ! Some toy shops still want $5.99 – $9.99 for them which I thought was high.DarkTari
Quote:you could if use the 7 tooth if you used the kit racer rear axle tho…http://www21.brinkster.com/gtahh/
custom shells, mods and tipsYou can, I didn t like the way the gears meshed though, not smooth and too loud. I stick with the Bit/MS gears. Also the KIT gears doesn’t allow quick acceleration, I’ve tried them all! They’re geared to run on KIT cars which have direct battery-to-motor power that equals more torque. Not thru a PBC board like Micro’s.

Quote:i got blasted before the crash cos i thought (post) the same tari, i agree tho. my kit 2.2’s go faster than the 2.2 i got with a booster chassis. some would say they differ only ‘cos one is worn in.:question:i had to cut away abit at the motor well so the bigger pinion would fit.
I use the BIT pinion on the KIT motor. The only thing that needs adjusting is the motor contact, needs to be lifted a little from the end cap so that it can make good contact in the Bit motor bay.
