There are two approaches to this mod, one being to mount the battery on top of the heat sink, the other being to flip the PCB and hide the battery inside the chassis. For this article we’ll be discussing the battery on top of the heat sink approach – this will help us with wheelies!

What you need:

• 2 batteries of the same capacity
• 2 pieces of thin wire
• a soldering iron with solder (paste optional)
• electricians tape

To start, you need to make any cuts or trimmings on the body that you’ll want in the finished project. For instance, if you’re going to use the body on a “dual-celled” chassis, you’ll need to cut out the part of the body that will allow it to fit on the chassis while having the extra battery. Or another instance could be fixing the molding imperfections on the body, sometimes the molds don’t quite match-up and cause a crease, get rid of those. Continue this process until you have all your cuts made and smoothed out. The cuts and trimmings should be completed with the idea in mind that those cuts and trimmings are final, you will not be able to do any “touch-up” work after you begin so make sure you’ve got it like you want it before moving on.

Say hello to our little friend… the pullback.
What is a pullback you ask? It is a car you put on the floor, pull back to wind it up, let go and it takes off. It’s not a radio controlled car.

So now you’re probably wondering what’s so special about these little things when we’re into R/C versions of the same thing? Mainly, people are interested in the tires, rims, and the body, those all are compatible with Bits and are slightly different items than what you could normally get for your Bit, and it’s rather in-expensive. You’ll also notice that the back rims and tires a slightly wider than the front.
