Bunta's "secret" mod!!
 

Hi Everyone!!

I've just come down from Mt. Akina tuning my new Porsche Bit when I've come across something others might find useful!

My 2 cell monster is very hard to control,, it use to flip and roll alot. I tuned the tires and that worked,, but I discovered another approach. One that results in very fun driving stunts.

I cut some thin platic (like the one the packaging is made of), and I fabricated a thin wing wider than my bit (by a about 1/2 inch) and taped it under my car.

Yata!!! My car doesn't flip anymore!! (well alot less now)
You can barely see the clear plastic wing under my car.

Good mountain racer trick! (like gutter trick)

Simple but effective.....Cool

Nice. Like trainer wheels. Only not. :D BTW, it'd be nice if someone actually made an Akina track. that would be so cool.

haha the secret of fastest driving has finally been revealed :D

but thats a good idea really..although mine doesnt flip anymore, because i think my 3.0 is dying....but im gonna get a 3.8 sooon so its all good...

cool
 

great mod, simple but effective

cool
 

great mod, simple but effective!

hmmm/ i wonder how that can effect bumber to bumper racing...

Works great on my 3.8 dual battery monster. Thanx for the tip :D

Is the plastic on the body of your car? Or is it under the car, not the body? I might think of doing this... Although I have a 2.2 motor, my car can STILL flip...only after when my mom or dad has finished washing the floors, because the floor is slightly wet, and the tires grip awesome.

BTW, has anyone drove there car on a table that has water on it? Like, water that is not seeable, you can see it, I have. At school, it is fun :D

Hi Xatu,,

I taped a small plastic "wing" to the underside of my chassis, not the body.

I hope this helps,,,

Have you checked out my website?

Thanx, I will be tring that for sure, I just need to find some clear plastic...hmm....I have a broken CD case, I hope that works. On your site, do you happen to have a tutorial for the plastic guard like the other mods?

I noticed that under my car, there is not much ground clearance. Did yours scrape the ground?

Ok, ok, ok, nevermind, I got it. I cut some small pieces of plastic, and they are really thin. I will glue them onto the bottom of my car, and hopefully they will work.

[edit]

I have one problem, when I go to charge it, there are 2 little pieces of plastic on the controller that will interfere and it won't fit on right. I will probably just shave them off.

Ok, instead of gluing them onto the unit, I decided to glue them onto the body. I will let it dry overnight, and take some pics tomorrow after school.

Ah crap. They glued on fine over night, I added a tad bit more glue this morning, but when I took my car to school, they both fell off.... I will redo it, and not take my car to school tomrorow.

lol like talking to urself :p

what does it do that stops the flipping? Does it act like a support and hold it up when driving on 2 wheels?

ok if it feels it needs the flip, the wings just act as a barrier, and they bounce it upright again. hope that helped :rolleyes:

the weight of the plastic prolly keeps her down. i suggest purring a bb or something in the front

What effect would the bb have on the car if you put it in the front?

Hi Peeps,,

ovgron is right, it's the first thing from the car that touches when the car starts to tip. It makes the car into seem wider than it really is. I had no plans for adding weight or something like that. If I were to add weight, I'd add a 3 rd battery!.

-Blank out (he he)

Hey xatu, sounds like you need some better glue. I have a suggestion for you. Try CA, its the best glue today. But be careful and dont be dumb, or you'll stick your car to your thumb!


Ahhh, bit poetry.

The reason that they fell off is because it was attatched to the body. They are now attatched to the underside of the chassis, and they don't fall off. There was not much plastic being held on the body, and....oh nevermind, it's too ahrd to explain....
