i think i found another good chassis to modify!
i happened to be in toysrus looking for a quick b-day gift for my son and came across some new jada rc's. they have something called 'chub city' for little kids which i thought was cute so i bought one for my youngest son and they had plastic 'big time muscle' rc's as well. both look like dead on 1:32 scale as well. these are only $10 btw.
these run on 27mhz and have 4 channels to choose from. the interesting thing is you can select from all for on each car rather than having to buy a car with a preselected channel.
the motor looks just like the epoch motor. very similar gearing i think.
the steering is much like a bit car (non propo). the interesting thing however is the steering parts look much more complex and could easily be adapted i think for higher quality steering if not just swaped out.
take a look at some of the pictures i took. sorry for them being so dark, it's past 11pm already.
