Hey,

Does anyone know a link that describes how to convert a bit into some type of monster truck?
And does anyone know a online shop where I can by springs for my bit, bigger tires, motors, fets ect?

Cheers for any replies,
Karl

you should pm betty k.

betty has written a multi-part tutorial on how he made his own monster bits.

o damn, cabo wins

just remember, that's just one way of making a monster, not the only way! good luck with it all

you could do it the that way or you could buy a zipzap monster truck from radioshack

Thanks everyone!

Betty, I have found your articles extreemley helpfull & im just about to join the steering section of the bit to the motor housing. But how do I re-connect the steering wires to the PCB when im ready to do that?

Cheers,
Karl

you solder them.

But does that mean I need a soldering iorn where I can adjust the temp? Because I've heard soldering iorns melt the wire? Mines just a normal electric one, no temp setting. I suppose I could turn it on, and turn it off to let it cool down to the temp I want.

Cheers,
Karl

I would just drop a bit in there and then put the stearing wire in. This way it avoids contact to the iron. Also fold up the end once or twice to make it a bit thicker.

i use a cheapy non adjustable soldering iron, never had a problem. just make sure it has a fine tip. if not, file it down to more of a point.

heh, i have an adjustable temp one. you cant make them not heat up. ive found taht mine is just how slow it heats up, you cant keep it at the same rate forever.
