What are you talkin' about? How is it the wrong size? This project is exactly what the end of the year Custom Blow-Out is all about... custom Bits.Scorpion wrote:It would be a winner if he did, but i don't think he can enter it due to the size.
Who are you talking to?Scorpion wrote:EDIT: Yeah it woulda bumped you'r RV down even as cool as it is.

Im just as confused as you are hue 
Scorpion, the front of this bit is a modified microsizer. The body is smaller than most bits but the wheel width and wheel base are very close to the same as a bit,, whats your reason to thinking i couldnt enter it?
As far as the truckin contest we had a while back, i pulled off 2nd place behind SWG (extreamly happy with that) from one of my other truck designs, i dont think the outcome could have been much better for me.

nope, sad to say i cant take credit for that awsome RV bit that SWG did.
On an update on the baja bit, ive been testing out the suspension and the off road ability of this bit and i must say that im impressed but it has left me wanting more. The suspension is perfect but with the dual cells i dont feel im getting the raw power that this bit really deserves. Normaly i skip the small bit motors and go straight to the zzmt or the superslick motors but since this bit was so small i figured a zz motor would work just fine,, and it does but since when are any of us ready to settle for something with less power than we know we can have? Im in the process of trying to cram in a zzmt motor, the trick is getting that massive motor in there and not having it get in the way of my rear articulation. Ill make it work, its just going to take a little more time.
Took her in the sand and i shoot a bit of a rooster tail but im looking for atleast 6 inches of throw from the back of this baby before im happy.
EDIT: Turns out the zzmt motor is just too damn tall and gets in the way of the articulation at every angle. Its looking like a superslick (1:43 scale) motor is going in its place. I found a purple (2700rpm) motor and im working on getting that thing in there. Its a little long but i think i can make it work

Time for new pics again 
Its still far from being done but its getting there.
and to show that im not bull shitting the suspension:
I started putting some aluminum rocker pannels on there, i kind of like the look, what do you think?
Oh, and if anyone has some BitPimp decals they would be willing to get rid of or sell i would love to slap some on this beast.
Thanks

man, 5 minutes on i still can't think of what to say other than humunahumanahumanahumana
it's really that fucking good!
stg!the mysterious extra power you crave oh so much can be found by swapping the stock transistors with mosfets (tha fetmod)
after pulling off a ride like that i'm sure you'd be able to get this done for free!
as for motors, try to find a purple zz motor or even better get some of these xtrek motors:

Thanks man, Glad you like it.
as for the motor i ended up cramming in that superslick (1:43 scale) motor in there and the torque and speed that i wanted is now there. Of course an FET mod would be nice and i may look into doing it (ive always wanted to give it a try) but for now on this bit, i think any more power and ill be on my roof even more than i am now (not always a bad thing, its nice to know the powers there when you want it)
I started working on the little details tonight. I just dropped 15 minutes to try and work my magic with some plastic to make a sort of tube frame look to the inside of the bed, turned out kind of cool,, now to do the other side
Keep it coming guys, good or bad, its the only way ill learn. Ideas are great too, anything to make this thing better.
Thanks

Not to bad otherwise.

Um, sure. But spicy brown mustard is best. The mustard seed in it help with the friction.
@Sporttracguy's ride.......
Off the hook!! Great work.
If you can hook up with a Fet job, that'd be the shit!
