betty, you reckon you could rig up a bit monster for me in exchange for a modified shell? i’ll provide the chassis and wheels and dual batts,and of course a new monster shell for yourself. all you got to do is work some magic on my chassis for me.
and by the way whered you get the rims for your s20,000?!
merc, u never wondered around toyworld before?
the photo makes sense to me betty! where is it?
thanx Kitty. i got a suprize picture to go with the track that your gonna all see soon. the suprize will be seeing it, a celica ute/tow truck with upright exhausts.
i got a bit more inspired with the start line and speedbumps last night. there all diagonally zebra striped now. the bumps got a shave down as well and the superbits have no worries getting over them.

i got one for you. i’ll whack a link in your pm box as soon as i’ve looked in your site…
my mates younger brother is still getting parts for his build a robot thingy. latest part was a voice recog. microphone for the remote….
he swears there will be a screen forthe remote and a camera for the robot soon.THANKYOU!!!!!!!!
i’ll take a few tonight. it’s all mounted now and in place in the loungeroom. i’ve had a few runs around it with the enzo and im very happy with the layout. looked quite daunting at first but i was kroozin around with a clone “yellow” motor in no time with out needing to reverse.
got a shock with my supposed “speedbumps”. they were really slowbumps. without enuff speed the bit got stuck half way… the sbcg chassis is pretty low stock. so ill have to give it a shave down before i matt varnish the whole thing.
thanx Aaron for all the hard work. it all seems a bit too white now tho… i remermber u mentioning something about changing colours ourselves. can you tell us more about that and any other new features that are now operational.
ill allways be last… on every list.
what are these nkoks? are they the same scale as bits or larger?
thanx all. i have decided to not use the ad barriers this time around. if anyone is interested in these i could post em up somewhere for a week or two for you to download and print.
so i can keep good looks and maximize storage capability i worked out how to have removable trees. they cost $15 for 4 of them and they look real.
heres a pic of the magnet system.

sure, im not going to get a bit to tranform. but the bits going to look near exact next to the car form.
the varnish is just drying so the pics will be up tonight…
whats with the windscreen? was it cleer to begin with and if so howd you get that sivery look???
with th shell removed hold the chassis by the front assembly making sure you stop one knuckle at a time. spin the secured front wheel and roughly take note of how long it spins freely, repeat for other front wheel.
if there is any difference between them or they both seem a little stiff they might have fluff stuck inside the wheel pin. needle nosed tweezers are the perfect tool for removing that enemy of streight driving and steering balance.
FLUFF,HAIR + DUST.
also twizm ive found the super bcg’s steering to be superior to standard. and the way our dollar is at the mo’ theyre cheaper than buyin a compact.and heres an old pic of my first track showing the pit area:

z’s oppinion: the standard bar is crap, but the soft and medium hopup ones are good with springs, for racing anyways.
also ive said it before and i’ll say it again: afx springs of different lengths can be wound together for variable/harder suspension.
twizm, if you have a knuckle handy, take it to yourlocal locksmith and explain your springy needs, your sure to be suprized.
