Thanks for the pos. feedback. I've got a second here so I'll try to answer the ?'s in quick, simple form
T_T_52 => Thanx and Yes. Compared to the other H.W. tuner and Muscle Machines wanna-Be's , these weren't so gay! Besides the wheels areperfect. ( more on that later)
XATU => Metal it is since it was my first. If it didn't come out close to what thought then no wasted time on dup'ing the body. but so far it looks like I'll be convincing my buddy to let a couple of my molds in line to be immortallized (w/ neccessary body mods to avoid infringement) in Polycarb where he works. The duals will be req'd to run both motors as it's planned now, but last night I got a little reassuring results from a belt drive setup i started using pulleys to make an all-wheel drive that's not so power hungry. Wish me luck
Drewzig => Thanx and it is the original body. I extended the chassis using the muffler part of the H.W. in a way similar to the KIT racing wheelie bar mod at QFM. IT also sets it at a nice level. A tip before dremelling... I use a nice non hardening clay and after removing the posts inside the shell I use it as a mold and press in the clay. Then set the clay next to your Bit or Zap and you'll see what must be removed. Saves a lot of time and less mistakes. And you may think about stretching the bit orclone before cutting the die-cast in half. Much easier to splice and it's hidden as opposed to some boldy solder and bondo sessions to make your efforts worth it.
Strider and Isk8blind => Not driving yet, besides abetter word will be float when complete.

I will get pics of the ups and downs soon. I'm too busy with repairing the stuff at work this weekend. I bought another so I can step by step the wheel process. Done just right- totally interchangable and factory look, done wrong... buy another car and do over.
