ZipZaps wheels on a Bit: Pics now available in Gallery

HERE

The Rear Axle pops right in, no mods necessary.

The Front wheels, however, needed a little working...But not much. The only thing that I needed to do was bore a little bit of a bigger hole on the travel arm of the wheels (click HERE for a picture).

The next adjustment is to widen the front wheel wells, on the Bit bodies, to handle the larger wheels. But running the Bit with just the chassis, it goes in a straight line very reliably now!

Great stuff, Namuna!

Namuna,
if i were to get the ZZ tune up box would i be able to use the axle wheels as front wheels??? Are they glued on like the bit axle and don't have a hole in them for the front axle pins? Or are they not??? Thanks, oh i forgot to ask would it be possible to make these rims look black by stripping the silver paint and do you think it would look good? Thanks!

u didnt match the rear and front rims?

But whatabout running the bit with the body??? Will the body interfere with it's direction of movement? I mean the body is equally balanced and symmetric from front to rear, but your statement is rather interesting.

The Bit body (or at least the white Skyline I have) has to be modified (the front wheel wells are too narrow). As is, the front wheels lock against the body and mess up the steering.
