I saw the bird fly through (at 27 seconds) and thought you were jumping it off of the roof of the trailer.

Nope just some knobby bit tires from a Motorworks. 3.8 Perfection motor and I probably put FETs in there. It was a simple build, I spent all my time making a cool bodies.rcrally wrote:crazydave wrote:I basically just put offroad tires on my cars, and put them in the dirt. Bam! Off road bit.

Re: anyone made a bit offroad?
They are pretty cool. If u can diy the window to be larger for hummer, it would be better. What is knobby bit tires ? I plan to use another set of rear bit wheel for the front wheel. Don't your bigger size tires touch the edge of the body and chassis?crazydave wrote:Nope just some knobby bit tires from a Motorworks. 3.8 Perfection motor and I probably put FETs in there.

Re: anyone made a bit offroad?
"knobby bit tires" = Knobby-ish tires that fit over bit wheels. Since they don't make the Motorworks cars anymore, your best bet would be to try to find one of those Charge-N-Go semis at Walgreens, they have the offroad tires.
The pickup has a Zip Zap wheel conversion, and yeah you have to shave the chassis so the tires don't rub. You have to shave the wheel wells on the body when lowering the car, but these cars actually have raised tabs.
You know, its been years now since I made these, and I forget all the subtle little tweaks I did to make things work.

Re: anyone made a bit offroad?
I can't remember, either VooDooMafia, or DarkTari sent me that... pretty sure it was VDM. Anyways, it was military themed had a square back, and a turret on the roof. Had to make a new roof, I chopped out a bed, and I used betty.k's nifty idea of cutting up that metal piece from floppy disk to make the bed, and front skid plate.

Re: anyone made a bit offroad?
I tried the floppy disc out as well,,, turns out a pop can works just as well for most skid plates. Its not quite as thick but its certainly easier to get your hands on these days

And a lot less magnetic, I just remembered I eventually ditched the skid plate because it messed with steering.Sporttracguy wrote:I tried the floppy disc out as well,,, turns out a pop can works just as well for most skid plates.
