NEW; Sydney race day…… Mini Z and 1/10 gtg!!!

[dgs73]

new topic started… the last one is closed at the usual 50 pages… so here we go again!!! Hopefully the first 5 pages will havepics of our indoor/outdoor rubber tracks!!!!!

[mini-g]

so did anyone get some track yet or what?????

[Aaron]

Just to put it ‘out there’ I’ll probably be up some time in the next 3-4 weeks. The goal is to have the Blue R34 running some very nice new electronics and Not break the servo gears like I have every other outing.

The MR02 project may see daylight there as well…. Assuming parts turn up. Ofcourse it doesn’t have electronics …. yet

[z-beam]

thinking of ordering one of the new saber motors… 35 turns will let me run for longer than a 33 right?

dgs-the game came in the mail the other day, thanks for that!

Edited by – z-beam on 10 August 2005 20:21:42

[dgs73]

no worries mate… hope it got back to you in one piece!

[KittyKatSmack]

Which weekend is racing? Is it sunday 22nd?

Where is it held?

Some 1:1 scale car enthusiasts might come along with their r/c cars too…

And it looks like I might be there too 😉

[dgs73]

hey Kitty!! Not sure which Sunday, but when we get wind of you guys heading up it usually doubles the number present on the day. Oh, and no luck with that email i forwarded the other day… oh well

[KittyKatSmack]

LOL @ email!!!!!!!

Well how about not this Sunday coming, but next Sunday?

I will need to resupply my supply of supplies while I am there too.

There is a big Mazda cruise happening on the Saturday and if we manage to find decent accom for a reasonable cost, we will look at coming up for a sleepover!!

SLUMBER PARTY!!

lol

[peteWah]

There is a Motor In close by to Dave’s/dgs73s house which is cheap and nasty….:smiley2:

[dgs73]

not as nasty as my place however…lol…

Edited by – dgs73 on 12 August 2005 09:18:10

[Aaron]

OK The deal is done – Kitty and I will be there next weekend (Sunday teh 21st). We’re goign on a Mazda Club Cruise ont he Saturday, then on Sunday we’ll get ourselves over to Meadowbank.

Things for me to keep in mind. Taking the MX5 and it’s got sod-all space so I won’t be delivering much! Nor likely to bringing much int he way of cars to run. Probably bring a uRS4 and a ‘Spidered’ Z or two.

Hopefully by the end of today I’ll be able to charge batteries again!

[peteWah]

They came, We saw, We got our OL parts…. *Thanks*

Aaron, Kitty,
Let us know how your weekend turned out And if you will be here to race in 2 weeks time or so….

Those car’s of yours need some action and something to compare to performance wise… You know you Wanna :p

Kev,
Your Blue 01 PN mount is at Dave’s house for when you show up next…

Cheers to All

[Aaron]

Yes Thank you for letting us blow through….. Was a very hectic day on Saturday, and Sunday was good, we demo’d a few R/Cs and you may may find a few more people comign down to Meadowbank….

I also got to give a couple of runs int he MX5 to people going full-blast up and down the hill from the picnic area. Was nice to really push teh car to the limit 🙂

[peteWah]

Speaking of pushing the limit…

I have a 80 + kph mini z and managed to over clock the Tamiya speed checker at 99 kph of load…
Picture and video to come.

All this with a 2×4 stack, iWaver Xspeed Pro, And a 15tp…

Im thinking the iWaver motor is a rip from Atomic Z2 or T2
because of the spiral armature in the beast…

Catch me if you can :D:smiley2:

[peteWah]

Where are you at z-beam…

Are you still in the Dural area and are you going to make a showing….

As for motor’s, I just got a Anima but its not fully broken in as yet… In saying that i was happy with its performance straight out of the box… +50’s with big pinions.
I would love to test both the Anima and Sabre together but can say all in all they should both have real potential… People are buying them because
motors such as the Atomic motors are way out of there price range and from what ive seen people saying…. You cant go wrong with the 2 Pn motors in question and that they are the best bang for your bucks when it comes to Hot motors… I do Agree…
Performance + ! ! !

Im going to (maybe) save for a Atomic Z2 and/or T2 motors, (way to expensive people) they are realy pricey like $100 + for the 2 of them together not including postage, failing that i will maybe get another iWaver X speed pro because ive not had a problem with it and has allowed for me to get my latest top speeds….
Realy CunFAST :D:D:smiley2:

Every second Sunday is Tempe and last Sunday was rained out. Unfortunately, my clark rubber tiles won’t join with the supa cheap auto ones due to the middle peg on each side of the tile being different – so I won’t bring it.

[Morbid Monaro]

i wsill definately be there, nwew edges & all. massive track is on its way

[kevsta]

I gotta bring the 1:10 as well with some witches hats…

[TallduDe]

No probs, I’ll bring my soldering iron for you.

I better start slow chargingsome aaa’s for the mini-z’s…

[Morbid Monaro]

i’m totally impressed with my TT01, you certainly had a bit of trouble keeping up kevsta, although withyour cartuned to the surface i’m sure it will be the other way around, but for now i’ll take the win, hehehe

[TallduDe]

was good to see the guys again yesterday was a fun day out playing with Z’s.

i like the idea of an indoor track or one that can be mved under shelter reguadless of the weather!

I had a great time, wish there was less wind down at the park. Your airplane flying skills are damn good.

I’m surprised to see so many people rc’ing there now.

Looks like I have to re-visit thexxx main guide…LOL. Didn’t realise that just putting a stock motor would affect the handling so much… I swear the car handle on rails with a silver can in it.

[Morbid Monaro]

hehehe, tell me about it, a tiny bit of speed stuffs up the whole setup, i had the same problem with my silver can with only 5 kph increase.

thanx for the compliment, i’ve been flying for about 6yrs & as i mentioned i learn’t in wind stronger than that, but i still managed to scare the crap out of myself when it went over the mangroves, phew, lucky to get that one back.

we generally get a few more people than that each week, i think the early morning rain scared everyone away

[Morbid Monaro]

[kevsta]

[Morbid Monaro]

good luck dude

[TallduDe]

cant do anyracing for at least a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!

watta bummer got work and family stuff, its just not fair i tells ya not fair!

[Morbid Monaro]

doh, you gatto do what you gotta do.thanx to petewah the track will be big & solid, cheers dude

Edited by – Morbid Monaro on 15 September 2005 17:41:21

[mini-g]

yeah i will be at the hill. ready to kick some 540 butt….

[dgs73]

bring it on!!! We OL’ing it up after wards? Or just the racers on the track?

[dgs73]

here we are, 6 weeks later… been a while since the Sydney crew had anything to say, so here we go… fair number of Z racers yesterday, TD, peteWah, MM, big Dave, Chris (introduced to mini z last week, he bought an OL yesterday…) and myself. Minor size track, only 12 squares, making up a medium L shape, due to lack of room in lounge room. Interesting with OLs on the track at the same time as racers, suddenly there’s alot less driving room, but it’s all part of the fun. Pics will be added in the next couple of days, hopefully including Pete’s tail slides with his OL… pulling it off over most of the track in the end he was… overall, mad day, and no sun burn due to being indoors! Big cheers to big Dave too for manning the tongs last night!! And cheers to everyone who dropped by, it’ll be happening again this Sunday!!!

[TallduDe]

was a good day man.

we need a bigger track when the o/ls startdoing laps! hahahaha

[dgs73]

mate that’s for sure… or just a second track for the OLs… lol

[Morbid Monaro]

dude the lambo rocks, handles like a dream

[TallduDe]

thanks man took a while to make it do so.

the body is getting a bit bashed but rubbing, hitting, hacking, smaking, rolling is racing when it comes to Z’s!

[mini-g]

i was totally blown away how good it was to drive TDjust loved it….

[peteWah]

The lambo is cool, I like Big Dave enjoyed driving it so cheers for that…

And whoever cant pass my OL should learn to do so if they can because i wont have a racer to run for a while so a second track is not an option because i would have to stay up at Dave’s all night building it….
Get stuffed and learn to drive i say :pif you cant get around me i am happy with a bit of this rubbing, hitting, hacking and smacking

Why complain >> LJRC regardless

[TallduDe]

yeah i know pete but couldnt help it, like i catch up to ur o/l then the nose of my car would be under the rear of urs causing it to flip! my reaction time aint that great man hahahahaha.

we need a bigger track just for the hell of it aye.

ahwell i can dream.

[peteWah]

Dude you were doing well,
When was the last time you raced a Z and on a track that size .

We had been racing that setup for a good week and a bit SO
you will get better with time and driving like we do it is required that if we are of line that little bit to give the racer behind a chance to pass without knocking him out…

In other words,

If your a good racer you will make the pass back after correcting your line on the next pass, don’t knock a racer out just because he is passing you and your stuffing up… give the man some room as he should give it to you in the same instance…

I’m liking the slow-moe races with No touchy laps 😀

:p:p:smiley2:

[dgs73]

one of these days i’llhave to put my track together… i’ve got plenty of time now so I guess I have no excuse!! Pete; I get round you most of the time (and in front up the inside… lol), but occasionally wind up doing the same thing as TD… and you wind up on your side.

[peteWah]

It dose not shit me 1 bit, just read what i said on the previous 2 posts :smiley2:

Hey if you can pass me anyone can, just like i was able to hold you out from passing me for 8 or more laps the other night….

That shit was RAD :D:smiley2: We do have to talk rules :dead::huh:

Edited by – peteWah on 09 November 2005 14:17:13

[TallduDe]

hey dave can you tell chris i cant make it tomorrow to yours i can only make it on sunday.

should be a good day i got the batterys charging up already!

[peteWah]

I will pass the message on :smiley2:

[mini-g]

It was a good day, Dave cooked up a storm with the gourmet rissoles and thick sausages and the z racing was awesome… the action was so quick it’s hard not to hit a track barrier.
