Ultimate Bit Char-G, Phase I complete

[TheJANG]

Hi there folks! Just stopping by to show off a couple of my early Bit projects. Here's the first, Phase I of the Ultimate Bit Char-G project.

Mods include, but are not limited to:

Sculpted, lowered, lightened body
Lightened chassis
Lightened wheels (4 spokes now)
Lightened pinion gear
Modified wheels (for a better tire contact patch)
Trued tires
Unravelled & lightened antenna
Scuffed motor plate (increased heat dissipation? Nah, just for looks actually :D)
Removed front tiebar
Motor that made me put my 3.8's in cold storage

Full details of the project are here:

This is just Phase I of the project, and Phase II has already begun. It'll be getting lower, faster, and more unique!

good job on the spoiler and rims. is that a lil muffler i see? :D i also think i see a hood scoop... but maybe im wrong. =P anyways, NICE job on the paint and details. the antenna looks great. i think i might lower my car soon too. :D

Thanks for the kind support, guys.

In my original post, there's a bolded link to the Ultimate Bit Char-G project page. It has numerous pictures, plus detailed descriptions of what I've done so far. That should answer most questions about the car.

TheJANG, I don't see a pic of the lightened chassis on there, could you post one? I just want to see what sections were removed etc.

[TheJANG]

Sure, here ya go:

That shows the bulk of what was removed, just the sides of the tub. I also put some holes in the undersurface and shaved corners a bit. In phase 2 of the project, I'll be making more dramatic moves. I'm world-reknown for Dremelling 1/10th scale trucks and keeping them strong, but with these little Bits, I had no idea how they'd hold up and preferred to be safe rather than sorry lol

Cool, thanks for the explanation and keep us updated on this project!

cool, very cool. I think im happy with just plain setups. theyre only bits, but thats cool. I think im fine with a heavy bit.

I'll try to get some video up once Phase II is done, to show just how much of a difference can be made between a stock bit and a modified one :D
