does anyone know of an easy way to fix the on/off switch on a miniZ? mine`s been pushed in so now it`s hard to turn on and off.. can you try to pull it down with tweezers or is that a bad idea??

the on off switch clips into position. take the pcb cover off, remove the motor terminal screws first. carefully lift the pcb from the rear to expose the juicy innards! just push the switch back into place so the little side clips hold it in place. that’s it, put it all back together carefully and drive it til you break something else!:D:8ball:

did the on/off switch get pushed in due to the fact that you were jumping the z over the ramp the other day dude?? :p hahahahaaa
-
June 1, 2004 at 1:08 pm #51891
yes. of course. Tis all fixed now. And not just one day’s jumping, mind you. I’m suprised all his soldering was still doing it’s job… betty.k; I give it a week before something else breaks. (mainly due to the fact it spends half of its time a foot or so above the ground, and landing is not always perfect…)
-
June 1, 2004 at 2:25 pm #51892
i give jay-Z 9.47 for the jumps and 5.78 for the landings lol

well there’s no point leaving it on the shelf to gather dust! a busted car is a used car is a loved car!:8ball:

June 1, 2004 at 3:01 pm #51894
yeah guys, blame the jumps.. i think some people are too precious with their cars!! jumping a racer is about as much fun as you can have, i`m not crazy, you`re all missing out!! p.s. tall dude, some of my landings were a clear 10.0!!!!
-
June 1, 2004 at 3:03 pm #51895
mornin Josh! Caught me bad-mouthing your driving, doh! And I agree, afew of the landing were picture perfect… but still…!!
-
June 1, 2004 at 3:05 pm #51897
And now that I think of it, im not THAT precious with my cars, just the ZaNi… damn I mean look at my monster now… and that’s MADE to jump…
-
June 1, 2004 at 3:32 pm #51899
if we can work out some kind of carpet landing area, i can only see about half the problems getting me again.. maybe less!! you just need a good take off to do a good landing!!!
-
June 1, 2004 at 3:43 pm #51901
that’s it… tonight we set up a jump circuit… afew plates and banked turns and… hang on… you dont have a monster! Come on matey, when when WHEN!!! Dont get a second racer, get a monster… you know you want to… gotta have someone close to my area to have a bash against!! we’ve got afew offcuts of carpet sitting around at home Josh, maybe we could incorporate them into the mix, especially down the courts…
-
June 1, 2004 at 3:47 pm #51902
What problems, your switch was fixed L.N…
I did not think there were other things wrong with it …
what gives… -
June 1, 2004 at 4:01 pm #51904
:evil:petWah:evil:; you’re doing a Timmy, mate… read the date at the top where Josh poses the question, you’ll find that he posted that well before heading around last night… and now it is fixed… we are talking about potential issues caused by jumping Zs… only other thing I know of is a jammed steering servo… what you know about that then?:smiley2:
-
June 1, 2004 at 4:20 pm #51905
seems to me that the mr01 can take more jump abuse than the monster!:D:8ball:
-
June 1, 2004 at 4:22 pm #51906
Man.. you guys must have too much cash on hand. Jumping racers – not for me thankyou.

LOL pinch and a punch… :evil::evil::evil: YOU
what im refering to was what josh said about the other problems is all… BE NICE:smiley2::smiley2::smiley2:
And you just pointed one out and thats stripping servo gears 2nd is blowing or splitting the box that they (servo gears) are sitting in
(not as likely)…AS i know coming down on a weird angle on your front can shatter a servo box on a 1/10 completely…:D:smiley2::D
Apollo G please…:smiley2::smiley2::smiley2:

June 1, 2004 at 4:56 pm #51908
betty; I think you may be right in one respect… the racer does have a servo box to keep things safer, while the monster’s servos are not cased (not the same way…) but after running into poles, walls, etc with the racer, and only one wall contact with the monster, the racer has broken nothing, while the monster damper stay snapped easy as… Kevsta; you would not catch me doing it!! Makes me wincw when I see it happen, but it does look kind of cool seeing it… Petewah; ah Pete, sorry dude… the other issues are ones you’ve witnessed
-
June 1, 2004 at 5:54 pm #51910
yeah i refused to jump my racer i know its a rally car but you never see a rally car jump off a ramp!
i have got it a little air borne off the ditch in between courts but thats as far as i would go.
the monster on the other hand, i will jump all the time!
-
June 1, 2004 at 6:03 pm #51912
i hear ya loud and clear!! those ditches can be downright annoying, especially when due to timing you’ve got no choise but to hammer through there at top speed… the resulting sound of Z rejoining the surface is less than apetising… THUD
-
June 1, 2004 at 6:14 pm #51915
This is true dave with a almoast charged set yes, but with a lesser charged set of batts you can float it through the dip without a sound in places…
thats why i like the dip, but never at full speed.

whatchoo talkin’ bout?!! are your eyes sewn together??? rally cars kick arse offa them thar jumps, lemme refresh your brainz:8ball:
-
June 2, 2004 at 1:23 pm #51941
yeah, I did’nt want to mention that, but rally cars do see to spend a lot of time in the air… but on the other hand they’re on dirt when not airborn. Pass on that for a Z, even if it was a rally version…
-
June 2, 2004 at 2:19 pm #51945
yeah i know rally cars jump off bumps in the road but not ramps! lol
thats why i said they hop over those bumps in the courts, if we did a scal thing im sure it would be the same as a rally car in real life. :p
if you want to jump stuff get a monster Z or mini T. but make sure you got alloy parts on a Z monster those front shock stays snap real easy.
-
June 2, 2004 at 3:32 pm #51950
alloy dampers are available…woot!!! Anyway, if scale came into it, multiply Josh’s one foot or so of air by the scale (27), you get 27 feet. I’d like to see any rally car do that and all parts survive… Talldude; damn straight!!
-
June 8, 2004 at 8:34 pm #52171
woot?!
wtf do you use woot for?
i been using woot since days of ultima online omgzgood to know it survived and is thriving in other boards/online forums!!

June 9, 2004 at 1:08 pm #52187
just a silly expression I use every now and then… a thought though, Talldude… when those alloy damper stays go in it’s just going to create a new weak spot elsewhere
-
June 9, 2004 at 8:32 pm #52218
we use woot to announce a level up or that something mad has happened!!
i love the word woot –btw, am doin rampant posts to up my postage, i want a star under my name dammit!!
