Very Fun Mod

[TheFanMan]

ok, here is a mod to kick some racing ass.

go to solarbotics.com and get one of their mini pager motors.
these motors really kick cause they have to be able to roll a big wait for a vibrator, but the shaft is just big enough for the black gear. then cut out the very back wall the motor holder because the motor is a tad bit too big for the car. then tape in the motor and watch it leave tire tracks:D

Cool - how would you say it compares to a 3.0 with boost? Are you certain it's safe for the BC-G ESC?

[TheFanMan]

it's probably not safe, if you have an old car like I do, then I don't really care... but if you have a brand spankin new one then be careful

[ViperKid]

here is another fun mod. take a baseball card and a clothes pin and attach the baseball card to the spokes and vroom vroom there you are. wait a sec, that doesn't work:p

[TheFanMan]

um.... dude... you can't ride bit char-g nor are they bikes:D

[ViperKid]

really?:eek:

[TheFanMan]

yes, are you the size of a pea or something?

[ViperKid]

no, just my brain i guess:p

This was one of my first mods. It isnt all that. It runs close to a 2.2 on a bitracer axle. It does have better torque, but it doesnt blow away Micro B motors, esp anything 2.2 and up. I have taken apart 9 different pagers, and tried the ones that would fit. Older pagers use larger diameter motors similar to the OEMs or the GP microcycles. Thus they cant be used on bits, because they dont fit in the motor well. The newer pagers are all standard in size, and fit with a little wire fiddling. I have to use a black 6 tooth motor gear with bitracer axles to get the gears to line up accurately. They dont just pop right in either. they are slightly longer, and its best to put them in flat side up. They arent cylindrical. Some are.

Actual RPMS in chinese manufactured vibrator motors only run between 6-11K RPM. Anything higher isnt necessaryfor a pager vibrator.

BIT-CHarg has an ESC?! I didn't know that. LoL. :eek:

[tinyrc]

Sorry, I guess the term ESC isn't accurate, I meant the circuitry in general.

[E)(pul$ioN]

Muahaha. Only Mini-Z and up have ESC. ;) Besides, its too small to fit a ESC.

[tinyrc]

Yes, obviously, I merely said ESC meaning the electronics, as it's usually the ESC that blows if you make mods to the cells or motor on other cars. Obviously the BC-G has no ESC, just an on/off!

[kbtoyz902]

i can see it now, an esc on a bit char-g. that craps bigger than the car.

Every single ESC I own is smaller than a BC-G, you're obviously not current on recent ESC technology!

[E)(pul$ioN]

An LRP is about the size of a Bit-Charg.... Maybe even smaller. :D

[ylexot]

Only Mini-Z and up have ESC. Well, the DigiQs actually have two ESCs. Since ESC means Electronic Speed Control and the DigiQ has proportional speed for two motors (not mechanically controlled), it has two ESCs. Who said they were big?

[tinyrc]

Yep, I was going to point that out, but didn't want to hurt those guys' feelings! :D ;)

[E)(pul$ioN]

Oh whoops. Didn't know. Thanks fo clearing that up. ;)
