Bit/MS Diff idea

[frizzen]

Better bits. An obvious thing is to make a differential instead of the solid axle for better control, but that would mean making a whole new back section and grafting it onto a Bit chassis. (Chopped Bit or MotorWorks chassis using ZZ bodies for more room to work with perhaps?)

My first thought was Tyco TCR slotcar rear. (The moving front wheel chassis, not the Jam Car) But when I got one out of my boxes of slotcars, I found out that the "Y-shaped spur gears thingey" wouldn't quite work as intended. (only drives 1 wheel) BUT if you were to move the gears to 180 degee relationship, lock the Y-thing from rotating, put the circular drive gear back on top, and somehow find room to mount the motor back in, it *could* work as a diff!

It would be a hack-job though. I'm going to keep thinking, and try to find my box with the various watch gears. I think I can make an open differential for it and have it perform great. Or I'll make something completely custom under a stock body and goes about the same speed as stock, but with much more engineering.
