Re: Whats this guy up to?

ok since i’m japanese, i’ll try and translate some main points. only thing is, i don’t know a lotta the fancy part terms so u’ll have to excuse me if the meaning is off. lol

anyways, he’s complaing cause his friend’s 3.0 motor is flying, while his is slow. so therefore, he’s come up with a way to add a “condensor” (spell)without the need for a soldering thing (lol forgot what they’re called st00pid me).

he went to his local hobby shop with 100 yen, and bought a 6.3V 100 ?F electric condensor. he saids that as long as it doesn’t hit hte ground, u canalso use a 10V or even a 16V.

on hte minus end of the wires, he put a cover on it, maybe around the same length as the antenna on the bit char-g. take off hte rear shaft, heat sink, and motor and face the front end to you. if u look at the area where hte motor used to be, there’s a small part of the gear shaftthat u can see from the side. using a small nail or something, push it 1mm~2mm to the side where hte gears are. that makes a small gap.

that’s it for the preparations. now he’ll put the condensor into the underside of hte chassis.

turn the car over (like in hte pic), behind hte rear shaft is a small square hole. put hte 2 wires into there and pull the covered minus wire up so it doesn’t hit hte shaft, then pull it onto the small gap that u made before (lengthwise, it should be just barely long enough). as for the plus wire, stick it into a hole where the stomach of the motor would be touching. it’s the gold colored piece that connects to the motor, any leftover lenghs of the wire, cut it. as for the small gap that u opened before, close it lightly with a small pench (dunno what it’s called in american…. lol forgot).

insert the motor and the shaft back in, and test it but be careful it doesn’t short circuit or something. as for the condensor itself, it will be hanging from the bottom of the rear, so tape it up to the chassis.

on a normal skyline body, the condensor is fine and won’t hit, but on the s2000 it may be a problem, so trim the body accordingly. sometimes it’ll look like a mega-huge muffler lol. and the clearance should be fine as long as it’s run on a relatively flat floor.

there you go. that took me over 20 minutes of my time. but it should be pretty much all correct. :smiley4:
