  1. ???
  2. http://www.bitchargoz.tk
  3. probably same as above
  4. ???
  5. MDF is Medium Density Fibre, just a piece of wood.
  6. I believe http://www.tinyrc.com sell them, but they aren’t going to be really cheap, I just put tape on a window and cut around it with a stanley knife.
  7. Have you applied for a gallery already? When you click on your user, there is a thing on the left which says upload new images, type in username and password, then choose your images, I think the total must be smaller than 1 meg.
  Hope that helps.

  1. no it stops charging after 45 seconds you have to take the car off and place it back on the charger for it to charge again.
  2. other sites to buy parts are in the links in this website here

  You have to wait for Aaron to approve your gallery, as soon as he approves it, it will appear on the list with the others. Then you do as I said above.

  1. You can safely leave the car on the charger. It stops charging after 45 seconds. You only receive 45 seconds of charge.
  
  2. Online you can buy parts from ToyEast, or HLJ. They ship world wide I think.
  
  3. I think the springs used for slot car racing can be used for BCGs. They need to be non-magnetic, or it interferes with the steering.
  
  4. Yup. MiniZ and Bits (BCGs) are different scale.
  
  5. MDF is like craftwood. It’s cheaper than plywood, and probably not as strong. It’s like chipwood, but with a higher quality smoother surface.
  
  6. You’re better off buying some masking tape, and cutting it to suit with an exacto knife or scalpel. (before putting it on the car if you’re not confident with the knife.
  
  7. Good luck with the members galley. I’m sure you’ll work it out.

  Yeah it can take me a few days to a week at times to create a members gallery. Becuase i do them manually it takes a little longer.
  
  I’m looking at how I can automate the system more but at this stage we all have the extra bit of work 😉
  
  The Members Gallery system has just been expanded as well so now is an even better time to create one!
