July 31, 2004 at 9:24 pm #30492
hey kitsune, I’m all out man. All my orders are taken. I’ll see what I can do, I might have some nelly 1.1 fets spare, but I’ve used up all my IRF6609(nelly 1.2) mosfets.
gotta put that order in ASAP.
also, hopefully my li-poly madforce will be ready for tomorrow. haha….
ph2t.
-
July 31, 2004 at 10:04 pm #30529
I’ll be happy to take the nelly 1.1 mosfets at this point, My Aluminum chassis is ready for a test run, but with an I waver motor and stock mosfets it probably wont be very impressive.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

fucken hell man! how you manage to break alloy servo gears!!!!
shame about the skyline 🙁

August 2, 2004 at 3:19 am #30415
Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either when I saw what had happened. Betty didn’t have the most succesful day in terms of steering. But he got there in the end. I was very happy with my mr01. In the end I OWNED the competition, kick both the two top speeders, ken and betty. But during the day my motor’s endcap became interested in doing it’s own thing and I dropped below the 30kph barrier…..Time for some motor maintenance.
Learnt alot on the track today though. It’s great to get some solid track time in and learn how you car reacts to various settings and configurations.
Then there was the time off the track………:D
Talk about crop patterns, lol…..The Collection:
From left to right: Betty, ph2t, leon, kitsune, merc-blue and the last two are ken’s.
And here’s the usual suspects, minus your’s truly who’s taking the picture….
I’ve got some GREAT video, I will upload it shortly…..
cheers,
ph2t.

This is kitsune’s TL01, brand new BMW body at the start of the day and now:
but gaffer tape just fix everything -
August 2, 2004 at 12:07 pm #30422
lol the worst thing was it did it in one crash.. i killed it abit but kisune was the one who totaled it. speaking of totaled you shoulda seen some of the m03 trashing 😀
-
August 2, 2004 at 1:01 pm #30418
Funny thing is most of the damage is hidden by a skillful repair job using gaffer tape (Thanks leonli17 🙂 (The underside of the bonnet was almost completely covered with gaffer tape by the end of the day.
My aluminium chassis lsot it’s front wheels twice during the day so I need to make some improvements
and speed wise it topped out at 17kph on the speed checker so it neds some work in the speed department, (It was sad watching it off the line in the great race – the only reason you’d find it on the track at the mo is as a pace car – but next time it’ll be better, halfway around the track and it would only turn left, a little while later it would only go straight ahed, when I went down to investigate the reason was obvious – no front wheels will do that to a car, so not even 1 lap completed. But as a learning experience it was a great day. -
August 2, 2004 at 2:41 pm #30411
Cars that small ain’t meant to go that fast… 👿
-
August 2, 2004 at 9:56 pm #30410
hehe!:D there were a couple of 1:10’s there that were getting a whoopin’!
i mean really, goddam alloy servo gears!!!! ahg…. i….gluk ….. i’m choking on my rage here:8ball:
-
August 2, 2004 at 10:15 pm #30409
yeh im surprised nobody posted about the M18 that was there.. a regular 1:10 racer had a 11.4v (i think) brushless M18 which toped out at 79 or sumthign he had to start breaking halfway down the straight we needed a runway to see how fast i really went

August 17, 2004 at 1:28 am #29778
The costs of loaning out your TL01 to the guys at ausmicro …
Broken shell = 1 roll of gaffer tape
Missing wheel nut + broken axel = free spare from a friend
The look on ph2t’s face as the front wheel goes rolling off the end of the straight = priceless(: ph2t I know you felt bad about the wheel, but I thought you should know it’s all fixed and didn’t cost me a cent 🙂
-
August 17, 2004 at 1:57 am #29780
lol. yeh who broke it.?? i know i did the shell abit (but thta shell was made from like tissue paper
-
August 17, 2004 at 1:58 am #29781
merc, you sound like you got a guilty conscience!:8ball:
-
August 17, 2004 at 2:03 am #29782
lol never.. im not the sort to get guilty over borken RC (i mean if i did srs damage i would be sorry and pay for repair) wait till u see wat gonna happen 2 the Ta04 i havnt driven yet and i think its preemtivly forming its own cracks and scraches
-
August 17, 2004 at 2:58 am #29904
I agree they are there to use (and abuse 😉
Awesone shell tho, look at it sideways and it’d crack 1/2 way to the windshield.
The acid test is would I do it again … ABSOLUTELY!
Sides I was the worst offender of the whole lot 🙂
