hey cos! nice to have you here. a couple of other local fet sources are microamps http://www.MicroAmps.com.au
he sells fets in packs of 5 if you want to have a try at the much loved fet mod or you can send him your car for modding. he does first class work and can do a bunch of other electronical stuff too!
or ph2t has an alternate external fet mod called biff http://www.ausmicro.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2048&FORUM_ID=4&CAT_ID=2&Topic_Title=biff+%2D+the+BCG+turbo%2C+now+on+sale%21&Forum_Title=Micro+Scale+%2D+For+Sale+%7C+Wanted+%7C+Trading
have a little browse around the forum and you’ll see why these guys got the reputations that they does!:smiley16::8ball: -

Yo there cosmo…..glad to see another sydneysider (?) make the move from nexcess.net. We’re trying to make weekly gatherings at Meadow BAnk park perhaps you’d wanna drop by?
-
May 1, 2004 at 12:20 pm #51166
weekly gatherings-… whats the plans? i’d like to – but it all depends on the times…
-
May 2, 2004 at 12:51 am #51176
Cosmo.. Yup we do FETs for AU$2.50 each delivered… Buy a 5×2 (10FETs or more) and they come Express Post.
I can’t get a reliable cheap supply of the 4562’s which are not _that_ much better than the IRF7389s.
At the moment one wholesaler wants to charge $27 per FET, unless I buy 100.. then it drops a fair bit… but I still wouldn’t want to to stock them as I’d be a lot of $$ out of pocket and they’d have to cost you guys more than double the IRF price…

sounds good- i’ll get back ot you on that… won’t be able to fit 5×2’s onmy f1 but i’m sure the boys would like em on their mr01’s just to keep up with my stocks :p
how long will that price last for??

Cosmo, we usually race at meadow bank park on Sundays from 12 to 4pm….but can go elsewhere (at least i can, don’t think petewah could at the mo). You have a track? Mind if we mosey over and have a race night? I’m free on Friday nights and sometimes Saturday nights too. Tim, talldude, kevsta and a few others are also keen to race on a track of some kind, plus dgs73 is in the process of designing a bordered raceway. I can bring some coke and perhaps we could chip in on a pile of pizzas and make it a miniz cafe :).

May 2, 2004 at 2:15 am #51180
Cosmo – that deal is always available… I buy the suckers in batches of 95 – and always have them at hand or at most 1-2 working days away.
I think I’m on my 6th order, and the price hasn’t changed 😉

cheers aaron i’ll get back to you on that one-
by the way fellas – if ever i get to go race with you guys i can always bring the mats there to meadowbank- i haven’t exactly measured it but i could always increase the size 😀
but don’t expect too much- it’s no kyosho track…plus my rails are just foam so i could always buy more- clark rubber sells those second hand foams for like 50c sometimes…
but don’t expect me to be going soon- pretty busy at the moment…
like to keep posted on whats happening though- and if anyone knows a good deal where to get a monster for about $150au then give me a hollar- 2nd hand.
btw- haven’t seen the meadowbank vids yet- but you guys set out a track there??

Why would that be Geo-z
Quote:Cosmo, we usually race at meadow bank park on Sundays from 12 to 4pm….but can go elsewhere (at least i can, don’t think petewah could at the mo).I know i dont have a Z yet but it dose not stop me being involved
its Tim thats 15 Im 24, Its a bit rude of you speaking for me in that respect DONT YOU THINK mate
I want to be involved (car or no car) as much as the next man…
I want to have a Z in a little over a month and a halfBE NICE:evil:
PeteWah is pissed of now… Nobody speaks for my actions OK… -
May 2, 2004 at 2:46 pm #51187
I hope that this is just a misunderstanding on your part Geo-z…. Sorry to be so harsh but what you said was rude as dude :question::8ball:
-
May 2, 2004 at 3:22 pm #51188
*not to self* never EVER say anything about peteWah (i think hes a gun polisher):8ball:
-
May 2, 2004 at 5:27 pm #51192
? I didn’t mean to offend pete dude, I just thought I read somewhere that you couldn’t come anytime else but sundays…or something like that. Perhaps you’re busy other days or something. Err….peace.
-
May 2, 2004 at 5:35 pm #51193
Ah! here we are…something about must be Sunday for meadowbank when cosmo (methinks) was asking about it in the Sydney minizracers thread….. I sorta deducted that you were perhaps busy other days…..trust me mate, I wouldn’t disclude ya for a sec, in fact, i think it quite brave to be enjoyin’ the action wit us even tho u don’t have a z yet!
If petewah can come along, the better! 😀 BTW can’t come today…..will be there next week.
-
May 3, 2004 at 12:27 am #51196

May 3, 2004 at 2:10 am #51199

I gotta get more free time!!! Between work, sleep, mini z and beer, there’s nothing left!Going to take next week off (take that, work!!), so I can source this material and get it together. Cosmo; how big’s this track you’ve got together? Sounds like my idea of dropping into Clarks rubber with a trailer might still be the go. Would’nt mind having a gander at your track, as while we both have different methods of fabrication, the end result no doubt would be very similar. Talldude; it’ll be done by the time you next drop down!! Petewah; spell ckecker:smiley2:
-
May 3, 2004 at 5:12 pm #51207
Nah, that’s ok pete, I’m the same really :smiley2:. I’ll be able to make it this week, but seein’ as many ppl are occupied, perhaps i’ll come the week after so everyone’ll be there.
dgs i thought ur plasma had been screwed…did you just clean the motor or do a brush change? Or was it just acting up back then? I’m sorta curious as to the 3v limit on those 4wd motors…
-
May 3, 2004 at 5:38 pm #51208
wore through the brushes, and snapped a wire… copping a rebuild and clean up as we speak, will be back in the car by this Sunday.:D
-
May 3, 2004 at 6:30 pm #51211
HAY what happened to my last post on this page:evil:
It was the truth you had done to many runs with the motor & as well as wearing through the brushes you melted a contact point not snap a wire i think i remember you sayingI asked if you could fill in the gaps, not have what i said stricken from all record :D:D:smiley2:
I think you need a blue mushroom buddy :p

May 4, 2004 at 12:58 pm #51235
very interesting, cosmo… yeah, i’m doing a permanent portable track in the next two weeks. Taking next week off work to ensure this gets off the ground.
-
May 4, 2004 at 8:54 pm #51241
i’ll try to get some pics up- i really suck at computers…
btw anyone got crystals they can swap with me just for the weekend??- i need it by saturday- i just bought 6 new sets and they’ll be arriving next week – i’ll pay for shipping someone pls email me if they can-
express post delivery…
tell me which one’s you have that you can send… i’ll send you an extra pair of xtals when i give you yours back… -
May 4, 2004 at 8:56 pm #51242
Just doing some brain storming here. To keep the foam barriers for the curves and straights in place, could you use blue tak on rubber/foam mat ?
I was thinking, for a low pile carpet track, you could use sticky velcro strips that you could buy from home yardage and attach these to the barriers.
🙂
-
May 4, 2004 at 9:14 pm #51243
yes those velcros would work- but we were thinking morealong the side of double side tape –
and for the corners- ( which are prone to getting hit) masking tape…we’re planning to change the track every so often- but yes those velcro strips would work-
but then again i’m talking about the type of foam i snatched up- it was pretty good quality 😀 and sturdy as a barrier should be…
tell ya the ups and downs or quirks about the setup after the weekend- it’ll be the first test run to see how the materials handle
-
May 4, 2004 at 10:56 pm #51244
Pete my original post was that i found other mini-z racers but now you guys went on about building tracks which is out of the topic:8ball::dead::question::evil:
-
May 4, 2004 at 11:47 pm #51247
Now come on tim mate, it’s just a forum, the thing is, at least we’re talkin’ to each other, that’s what counts…..perhaps it may be kinda disorganized if we make topics within a topic here and there, but dude, dis site’s for leisure man! If ya want something back on track, just restate whatcha want…. It’s all cool……
Cosmo, the mini-z track you have sounds rather impressive, can’t wait to hear the results after testing it on the weekend.
