i see no need to do anything to this car. i did ad springs. the removable knuckles is pretty nice(yet unneeded). it looks plenty sweet for me. no paint mods or anything for this beast.

I just got my Super Bit 911 today and popped a King 4.2 in it. I will say the speed and torque is awesome, but mine has a really bad case of the "keepin' on going" after I let off. It is also hesitant about going at all after that. Not happy at all.

reroute the antenna so it doesnt go across the pcb. that throws too much interference.

I tried that, but it still hesitates a lot, and sometimes doesn't even go. Had the same problem with a 27mhz MS Pro once.

With everyone else complaining, I thought for sure Hog would hate his.

Well that gives me hope. We'll see, still another week for mine.

I didn't like my Perfection 3.8s at first, but they are getting faster, slowly, and I'm starting to like them. So with everyone loving the 4.2 I'm getting excited about getting those.

Nothing permanent, just slide the rear tab under the original slot, pop the front in and bladow! Lowered, if you don't like just fit the rear tab back in the original slot. Give it a shot!

My take on the "car still runs after button is released" syndrome:
I've noticed the "syndrome" happens when my Super Bit goes out of range. It doesn't happen at all when in range, except when the batt is almost drained. Different motors didn't seem to affect the "syndrome" either.

I used to race 1/12 scale electric and I remember this happening to our cars. The servos just stay where they are (usually full throttle headed towards a curb!

) when the receiver looses signal, either by going out of range or the batts on the car dying.

I suspect something similar is happening on the Super Bits. That could explain Ahh5hit's problem: (really bad case of the "keepin' on going" after I let off. It is also hesitant about going at all after that). His car is just outside it's range and that's why it hesitates.

What do you guys think?

Otherwise, I love my Super Bits!

I'm running a Perfection 3.8. I can pop wheelies with it on a stock Super Bit chassis, imagine what a 4.2 can do!

I'll have to get a couple 4.2's and see for myself!
