I have never posted a project on here or anything, so I dunno if this is even the right place for it. Hope you enjoy

This is my second Extended Chassis mod, but I wasnt happy with the first one, so I decided to put my brain to work and think of a better way to make it work. I have never been a huge fan of stock Bit Bodies and wanted to give my cars more of a "real" look. So first I went out and got a DUBcity Mitsubishi Eclipse. Once the chassis is finished I hope to do a few mods to the diecast body, and give it a custom paint job worthy of a BitPimp, heh. Then finally Gotta hook myself up with some sweet German Alloy Rims!!! If you guys have any suggestions please let me know.

I believe (and correct me if I am wrong) I am the first person to have a low mounted PCB to lower the center of gravity. I am just waiting at the moment for a piece to fill the gap in my chassis, then I will be chopping the chassis walls almost totally off. Leaving about 2 or 3 milimeters just to hold the PCB in place.

Here are some Pics, I hope you guys enjoy them. I will try and keep everyone posted on the progress of this project.

It'll do just fine right here.. Looks real good so far, but I'd search a little more for a plastic body.. That's just me though.

I myself have never seen a PCB mounted on the bottom. You could be the first. It's the first time I saw one. Should turn out nice, so keep us up to date..

hummm that's alot more tape than i imagined you'd use .... lookin good sofar tho

nice mod Swavey!
great pics too, looking good pimp
let us know how it turns out

Lookin' good so far.

I think that is the first time I've seen the PCB on the bottom.

Lookin' good.. Not that much bigger than a bit?
Looks even smaller that 1:43

Thanks for the comments everybody.

Nope, Its just a centemeter or so longer than a Bit,

As for the body, Anyone here know anything about resin molding, I would do anything for the whole DUBcity series casted into resin. That way I would be forced to put a hurry on the custom paint designs, heh. I am sure there would be enough people around who would make extended bits and stuff to make it worth while.... Just a thaught.

Swavey

You can contact custombitbodys. I'm pretty sure he does resin molded bodies. Drop him a PM, and see if he can help..


silla

are you talking about the resin

Alright here is an update of my projects progress.... I have the chassis all put together... wireing still needs a little work, but over all i am quite happy with the way it is turning out...

In the next few days I am designing a custom fitted contoured chassis / pcb cover out of putty,

I have devised a method of making the width of the wheel base more narrow. so I think I make be able to get alloys to fit flush with the eclipse body rather than outside...

let me know what you think.



Swavey

clean work homeboy, like that there's not a wadded mess of wires and what not.
lookin good.

Great job. Very clean..



silla

yup..it should go prtty fastwitht that dua 200mah ceel goin to
lookin good

Just slapped these wheels on for the time being, just to get the look of a completed chassis. Cant wait to start work on the body... Wish I could find something plastic or resin, and not Diecast.... Ohwell though, all in good time, heh



Swavey

hummm ikea stuff.... must be pics in you're new place?
