[MiniKing]

How are yah guys,
Great day had by all yesterday even though the rain came to spoil the party a bit early it was stil fun….we had a great little track setout at medowbank and with all 6 of us racers on the track at once made for a pretty exicting and entertainig little race.Took the gas car out for a run (changed the body to MRS gt) looked good ran awsome down the courts….The RX7 is looking and goin the goods now thanx to dgs73….thanx dave for the wheel nuts…and the spacers in the suspension gave me some travel in the springs again…LOL…All round good day cant wait till next week.

[jamiekulhanek]

[TallduDe]

[Jay-Z]

me & focca (dinged up silver Z8,& a new red one!)set out a garden hose track and taped it down, it worked out for a while but tape doesn`t wanna stick down too well still think we need to work out some track for down there, maybe with some jumps!! kevsta, thought we`d see you last weekend..

he had wheel spacers under his knuckles, meaning no travel. put in some washers, now there’s travel. It was to lower it dude

[dgs73]

Nah the spacers in the suspension were just to lower it…..it was like it had no suspension in the front.So Dave put in smaller washers and fixed it for me. My Nitro car is a GV2 with a 0.15 motor and two speed gearbox…

[dgs73]

you should see it go Jamie, s**t off a shovel. Damn fast… Kev; whenever you like. The room is’nt that big (you know the one I mean? Up the back), about 4×5 metres. Not huge, but enough. G’day M.K., you working hard too eh?:smiley2::approve:

[Jay-Z]

hey, comparing it to the old one it`s still a new pin!! & DGS, let me know how the indoor track goes, might try & get focca interested in dropping by this arvo..

[TallduDe]

did someone say a track?

this should be fun!

[dgs73]

small, guys, v. small. Stock motor, bottom gear. Fun enough however.

[TallduDe]

cool, it dont matter about speed! its about driver skill (or lack of)

you using your mr02 on it Dave?

Mate, 4×5 metres is bigger than my garage, what track width are you doing 1 metre ?

K.

[dgs73]

1.2… you know me, I like a little more speed… and it’s probably more like 4×4 metres, not 4×5. TD; will be this afternoon, my slower MR-01 chassis no more… just a few parts, ie. titanium, aluminium, some carbon. I need to keep a better hold on my temper…:angry:

I have a very short temper. All I can say. It will be replaced shortly.

[Geo-Z]

The inside track sounds tiptop dgs! I think the melbourne guys also showed a pic of an indoor small track, barely the size of a small room, and it looked pretty tight. Time to break out the stock motor again, woo. 😉

[dgs73]

mate i’ve been caning the 02 chassis on it… no room for even an X speed, so the other car’s out. Have finally sourced some decent surface carpet for a good price… very good actually. 3×6 metres. (roll is only 3m wide, shame…) Stuff is happening guys…

[peteWah]

Roll call for sunday at meadowbank:p
sorry dave i had to ask…:approve:
whos in:smiley2::approve::p

[TallduDe]

lets hope for good weather, hang on maybe we dont need to hope anymore we can just invade Dave’s place LOL

[kevsta]

I’ll be there around 11am on Sunday.

I’ve got to test my x-speed in a bb can against Talldudes motor because the ones I ordered ain’t going to be here till next week .

[Roe]

DGS: Thanks for having us ova on Sunday! Tariq had a ball! & I went home nice & relaxed!:smiley2:

GeoZ: Thanks for fixing my steering. The Lancer handles much better now! (Just have to get all of DGS’s carpet outa my spur gear after do’in the jumps with Jay-z & Focca)

JayZ: Watch that wall mate, we’ll have to get DGS to bring the ramps down to the courts. Less chance of hitting anything.

TO ALL: See u guys on sunday!!

[Jay-Z]

Yeah, they took 7 days just to process my order, and it only got shipped this Tuesday. They may have run out of stock, because it’s not available on the catalog anymore.

I’m also heading to Daves at 11 am as well.

Where were you pete on Sunday ? Saw your chassis… looks pretty good.

[peteWah]

I was feeling ok after a big night on the piss or so i thought cant wait and then it hit me

Poor head+poor gut =peteWah watching the first ever chinese F1

You dont want to part $$$$ with a particular autoscale body do you…:D ie Vette CR5
Im guessing NO WAY

[peteWah]

I will however be there with afro next week…

Sorry Pete, collecting the corvette for display. 🙂

I do however have a slightly used red i-waver ferrari 355 shell if you’re interested – the one I brought to meadowbank a couple of times that has the rear part of the shell modified for the rear damper but you need to run low motor mount + zero offset fronts wheels with it.

🙂

[peteWah]

Thought as much
the only ferrari’s that do it for me are the Fseries F40 F50 F60 and the enzo of course!!!

If your bettle’s for sale i will buy it? and if not could i please have the use of it as i dont yet have a running shell and again it would probally support the setup i have on the chassis already Y/N

please please please

Can’t part with the beetle – wife likes it and it’s hers. 🙂

I only have the red F355 shell which I am happy to pass in your direction for *FREE* so you can get started/up and running :p – body in excellent condition, you’ve seen photos of it in the old thread. Something you could use for the time being until that expensive auto scale comes along. :):smiley2:

Maybe someone else can help you out with the part that positions the high motor mount to the low and some standard wheels.

Let me know if still interested and I will bring it next time not sure this week, but definitely the following week.

The ferrari is a sick body dude click below to jolt your memory: http://www.ausmicro.com/galleries/miniz/sydney25-4-04/imagepages/image13.html

..how good was sunday!! that`s about the easiest track we`ve ever knocked up & about the most fun i`ve had down there! driving around the courts is cool but having a track makes it rad! be cool if we could make a standard track for meadowbank, love to be able to time laps & see who got around the fastest:smiley16:

[kevsta]

Quote:

wow…

LOL looks like the file attachment is too big. Same thing happened to me when I tried to upload the movie I took of the miniking”s rx8 and tall dudes]air plane… I broke a front knuckle on Sunday just realised it after doing some maintenance so I put the stock kyosho knuckles on, and end up stripping an alloy wheel nut.

you know the track is in the pipeline… about a week away now. Being this is funded entirely by me I may have to come up with a way of recouping costs. $5 per Sunday guys? j/k (or IS IT?!?)

Can’t wait to see it in action. If we don’t have to pause for track maintenance each time someone’s car deforms the track it will be worth it.

$5 is fine with me. What about everyone else ?

Does Focca have access to more industrial hose ? A bigger and more complexed track would be nice.

See you all next Sunday:D

[kevsta]

Yes it was fun, but track was pretty hard and no one likes to slow down. So there were lots of track barrier jumps, rolls, crashes and sliding scratched shells. 🙂

I drove like an L plater.

[TallduDe]

ahwell at least u guys got to run!

btw kev have those motors come in for u yet?

[MiniKing]

i dont think ill be having any problems with my Z i just got my order come in from Hong Kong…!!!:D ill have a spare X speed if anyone is interested???:D

[kevsta]

TD.. Yeah those motors arrived ages ago but I haven’t run them yet..but soon.

Still playing with the x-speed which seems to have more than enough power for the track size but will need to gear down to an 8 tooth for quicker take offs.

Miniking, getting rid of the x-speed already ?

[icebreaka]

hey im insterested in the x-speed if its cheap :D:D:D

[Roe]

yeah, pretty fast car eh pete! & a few smacks on the way too! *dreaming*imagine all 8 of or cars on that track, smacken in to each other. chaos!!*/dreaming* only for the pros eh…..:)

[MiniKing]

Hey Everyone,
Just the usuall from me again about Sunday at Meadowbank raceway(New Name)seeing as we now have a proper track thanx to roe…it is made out of conduit and all we do is connect the trck together and tape it down with glass tape and away we go…its takes 15mins to set up and you can race all day without it losing shape at all it was so much fun.My Z is running sooooooooo much better thanx to my new hop ups that bb x speed i got goes so much better.I was running some pretty competitive times around the track and getting quite a lot of speed coming down “Rainbow Bow Straight”……Big thanx to big Dave for fixing up my gas car it running heaps quicker now…All in all everyone had a great day yesterday and i cant wait for next week just remember all of you how are coming next week bring qite a few AAAs other wise you will be spewin when your sitting on the side line watching everyone else race…(like i did yesterday…im getting more AAA’s this week!!!):D:D

[icebreaka]

hey mini king.. u still got that xspeed u wana let go of? .. if so how much u want for it?

[jamiekulhanek]

what ‘gas car” you got dude??

And dave what was the AE car you were saying something about, was it a TC3?

[TallduDe]

ill be there this sunday!

i got a fair few batts now days, hate sittin on the side lines

should be good. im bring a table and chair set up thing aswell. my knees always kill me at the end of the day from sittin on the ground.

the table could be considered “club” property lol.

[MiniKing]

Icebreaka: sorry dude i gave the x speed to big Dave cause he helped me out with my nitro car.. I should be getting a few more b/b can X speeds if your interested???Should be here around the same time as my mr02 its coming from the States…:D

Jamie: My nitro car is a GV2 made by great vigor it runs an OS 15 Motor with a 2 speed gearbox…Ive told you before dude,Ive written this same shit like 5 times already…

Talldude:Look forward to seeing you there on sunday dude im getting a few more AAAs this week cause with that track man i could stand there and race my Z all day…. :Dsee you there dude.

[kevsta]

I should be there as well this Sunday. Got the F355 running again, can’t wait to try it out on the track.

I got to bring a chair as well on Sunday – can’t handle standing around all day.

Had some time to myself this evening and unwound 20 turns from a stock motor in a hope that I could get the performance of an X-speed out of a stocker. It drew 0.8A at startup and 0.4A noload and 0.5A on load. Unfortunately it didn’t go as hard as my x-speed :(]

So is the new track made from pvc pipe and elbows ?]

[icebreaka]

thats alright.. I’ll jus wait till i get to go to meadowbank .. thanks anyway for the offer..:)

[dgs73]

Kev; yes, plus the odd straight join and t- joins… the thing is awesome

[kevsta]

I was thinking, to make the track have that ’round corners’ effect, should we use some of the thin eva foam mat that I have and cut out some curves and circles and use them for track over runs (is this what they’re called) ? We could place adhesive velcro and tie them to the corner pvc pipes so they won’t move, cars will still be able to run over the top of them because they’re only 2-3mm thick. And if really keen, we could paint a red and white edge on them too.

Just a thought, let me know and I’ll bring them on Sunday.

[TallduDe]

u meant ripple strips right kev?

sounds like a good idea dude go for it!

cant wait till this sunday :smiley16:

[dgs73]

it would decrease the width of corners Kev, but you’re onto something. I’m heading out to Bunnings this Friday afternoon to get; 44 lengths of 4ft. long 20mm round pvp piping, about 20 straight joints, 10 T joins and 10 L joins. The layout will be the same as Roe’s (for those of you that’ve seen it), but with 4 foot wide lanes all round. This added to Roe’s stuff will make for a huge track, with almost unlimited layout possibilities. (Just mine layed out in the original layout comes in at 16 by 32 foot. Oh yeah…!!!:approve::D:p:):smiley2:

[kevsta]

LOL TD, somehow I knew you would know what I was talking about…

Dgs, sounds good, pvc costs a bit – if you know someone that gets a trade discount at bunnings it would be good.

I think elbows/t-pieces are around $2-$3 each x 40 which comes to around $120 !?

A single straight is around $7 x 22 (assuming 8ft lengths) comes to $154 so all up total around $274

🙂

[peteWah]

Sounds good but i dont and probally wont have a car to run by this sunday
Servo gear #1 broken, Servo gear #2 stripped well

Having a set sent up to me from Aaron wont be posability for this weekend… So pooh
And im guessing probally not till after the 20th can we start making orders for foamies and me servo gears…
again pooh…

[TallduDe]

i got a set of servo gears pete if you need em we can talk things over if you want.

hate seeing a z broken.

[dgs73]

there you go, Pete…:D

[peteWah]

Cheers TD
Many thanks indeed but i wont be able to pay you for them untill after the 20th of this month if that all good:smiley2:

[peteWah]

Geo, I can see you lurking, what are your movements for the weekend, Want to come race:smiley2:

[TallduDe]

yeah its cool bro. as long as i get my money i dont want to breaking fingers or anything LOL :smiley16:

geo you coming this sunday? need a lift?

btw if its this hot on sunday like the 30 plus degree like it has been im bringing an esky full of ice, so if anyone wants to bring drinks you can store it!!!!!!!! i aint going all day without a drink!

Edited by – TallduDe on 13 October 2004 13:41:19

[peteWah]

My fingers will be fine LOL
Cheers In Advance:smiley2:

[peteWah]

I think if its this hot and we are not undercover we should be drinking atleast 2 litres…
Can i have a spot in your esky PleaseTD

Roe, Are you still wanting to setup a shelter/marque Im keen to help set that up if you can fit it…

The last 2 weeks have been +30 down at the courts and i have gotten sunburn (not the only one) So we need 30+ sunscreen, hats, shelter, seats, fluids etc

[Roe]

Sorry guys, Haven’t had time to get on as much as i’m flatstick @ work @ the mo!

Yeah, sunday was awesome!!! track held up well (better than that s**ty hose) apart from a few scraps & bumps (as mentioned by MK, Rainbow straight refers to all the different colours left by all the z’s) but all in all it faried well!!!

*man i need to get myself some of those fomies*

Pete: I thought I had a marque but, don’t so…..i’ll c how much they are at bunnings!! 🙂

dgs73: Sweet man, i’ll come down to bunnings with ya! Might be able to stay at bunning car park too for some Night Racing!!! MK & I did it last friday night. The surface is great for racing, & the carpark is massive!!! It’s also lit up aswell!!! 🙂

TD & Kev: are u guys up for a friday night race? Also, can u bring those wheels down for me TD 😀

[TallduDe]

hey Roe yeah im up for friday nite, what time do you reckon i gotta start werk at 10pm that nite so i cant stay long :dead: . hope i get a new job soon…..

[peteWah]

Or Roe, what about some bigass bunnings beach Umbrella’s…
They would do the trick but we would have to set up on the side near the grass
:D:D:smiley2:

[kevsta]

Roe, Can’t make it Friday night – got some stuff on. BTW which Bunnings car park do you race at – might pop by if its a close one ?

If Sunday’s heat is like today, I think I’ll pass out on the courts.

Mocky, is your Z fixed up yet with the nelly ?

Anyone got Geo’s mobile number ?

[kevsta]

Can’t browse ausmicro from work anymore.

Got busted. Site is now on the blocked site list. blackeye:

Thought I was pushing it a bit too much…:smiley2:

[dgs73]

if I dont watch myself i’ll be in the same boat.. and this is the only pc access I have…

[Roe]

TD: MK & I r heading down there 2nite if ur interested? Otherwise, c ya friday night?

Pete: Sound like a goa, depending on price. I’ll check the cost on friday with dgs.

Kev: it’s the new1 @ bankstown (next to the airport) it’s just ideal as the surface is brand new & Soooooo big & bright!!! But, i’m open for suggestions if it’s more convinient for every1 else! Spewen about net access….

dgs73: it was probably all the vids u sent out 😀 or was it those pictures u downloaded……:clown:

[dgs73]

my stuff is 25mm round… they had no 20mm, but the outer thickness of your material will fit tight inside the inner diametre. It is all done now, even the banners ,etc. Got it all at an electrical wholesaler around the corner from my work… saved myself 50%+ of what Bunnings quoted me…:smiley16:

[Jay-Z]

i`m looking forward to seeing all these new layouts, who`s in for this sunday? i`m working out a joshiestyle tricky section, can`t say too much (& no pete, it`s not a jump!!) but might have it ready for the weekend..

[bithed]

…Is there anywhere out where you race where you can HANG a really big ass panictoys banner? Something they can see from the blimp for example? lol…Cant wait to see it..albeit pics…BTW dave your photo didnt get through to my phone 🙁

[dgs73]

why not? Everything else i’ve sent has… i’ll retry today. And yes, with 4 foot wide lanes, there is room to hang a big enough logo. You’re getting free advertising here dood…:smiley2:

[TallduDe]

hey we could fit more advertising in soon, maybe we could get the chicks off fat pizza to be the pitt lane girls, im lookin in ur direction for that set up Roe :smiley2:

[dgs73]

TD; im planning on having two more of those banner style adverts hanging over the track (holds it all together pretty well, too), will no doubt come in to work again this Saturday to sort these out…

[dgs73]

I think she and you would make a phat couple… and i’m positive Habib would’nt mind… but would Rocky?!? (you had to see last night’s Pizza World to get that one…):D

[Jay-Z]

yeah you`ve got a point…shade in summer & warmth in winter!! but she`s all yours guys, i`m not into weight lifting..

[TallduDe]

hey she’s built for comfort not for speed,

but i prefer speed :p

i’ll pass… and she’s in the states at the mo, so you’ll just have to fight over her when she returns to Sydney Airport… i’ll see if Roe can find out what day/time she gets back in…
:smiley2::p:D

[Jay-Z]

i`ve got some photo`s of her that you guys can have, i took them from an aeroplane:D

[dgs73]

as detailed as the ones from Mir? lol:clown:

[Roe]

i think im gonna be sic…..🙁:dead: Surely Rockys girlfriend is nicer, Kat!!! Plus she cheers for the Bulldogs too 😀

Sorry i couldn’t make it today guys! Still haven’t got my parts to fix my steering! Plus it was raining here. So how was it? did ne 1 go?

[CoSmO]

can someone tell me who has the fastest z at the moment???

and what setup their running?

[Jay-Z]

of the meadowbank guys i`d say it was between dgs & kevsta, though geo has a few tricks up his sleeve so.. the chicks love the rexy tho:D

[dgs73]

Cosmo; everyone’ll say they do. Mine with it’s current motor at it’s best was checked at 59kph with an eleven tooth pinion (Jay-Z; Kev’s is a 14t), but that motor’s dead now, awaiting rebuild. New motor going in when Next weeks meet happens. Setup? Um… no room here, go to my gallery and have a look at the Madman… that’ll answer most questions… Roe; shite. bloody rain… needed and all, but only on Sunday? Come on… So we set up in my loungeroom. 3 Z’s and a 2 x 1 metre track makes things very interesting… It did start with Bits but soon evolved into Z jumping and other stupidity

[Geo-Z]

dgs, do plasma dash armatures have easily charred comms? Or do they wear thru brushes more easily? My motor states that it must only be used in 10 minute races (max) with an aftermath cooldown period of 15mins! Dunno about the plasma, but i remember they can all get quite hot…..

When I race with HO scale slotcars (Aurora AFX, Tyco, Lifelike, Marchon track), the tiny armatures in those cars needed a cooldown period of 10 mins between continuous 15 min intervals….so maybe a little cooldown could help in prolonging the life of electric motors?

From what i’ve seen, dgs’s rebuilt plasma was quite fast, with top end speed being even faster than my atomic/PN mod motors. Dunno about kevsta’s one tho 😉

[dgs73]

Geo; they’re a brush muncher… about 5 runs with Neos… it’s a high maintenance piece of kit, all right…:smiley2: gotta love the end result though:approve:

[kevsta]

How was the racing on the weekend ?

[MiniKing]

yeah how was the racing onthe weekend???? i couldnt make it…….im definatley goin to be there next week though…….:D:smiley16::D

[icebreaka]

i think i’ll be there this sunday too 😀

would there be any chance of winning for my friend n cuzn with their stock motors? :dead:

[MiniKing]

icebreaka it all comes down to skill on the track dude dont matter if your Z is fully hopped up or not……..it comes down the driver…..im definatley gonna be there on sunday i cant wait to see how my MR01.5 is gonna go on the track…:D:D:D:D

[Jay-Z]

so, what did i miss? had to road crew for some of my chick friends on their hawksberry clasic canoe race, 111km`s of hell! ..and they didn`t even finish!!

[dgs73]

more people with Super Slicks please…!!!:smiley2::approve::D but seriously… i did’nt even have time for the Z’s on Sunday!! Been bitten by this new bug… damn i want my Monster knuckles!! It’s been tooooo long!!!!:evil:

[dgs73]

MK; put your GTR 2F2F shell back on if you dont want a repeat of Homebush!!!blackeye:

[MiniKing]

Wat do you mean DGS…?????wat happened i fixed my GTR shell and as im running wide wheels and the body wont clear it…ill prob run my Lancer shell if my Z is running on Sunday…..:D:D:Ddont bother me if the shells get damaged i bought them to race with there no good to me sitting at home on display……. :D:D:D

[dgs73]

thought you damaged your GTR a little more than you would’ve liked, that’s all. Dont go all Jay on me… lol

[kevsta]

Are these monster trucks available yet ?

http://www4.toysrus.com/superslicks/ssfl_carBrands_detail.cfm?carmodel=monster

[dgs73]

[dgs73]

and my cuzn will hav to get alkalines.. and my friend only has 2 sets of 4..

so yeh.. how many sets do you get thru? 😀

[TallduDe]

depends on how much you race and what set up you have with batt’s i go through at least 5 or 6 but 2 or 3 sets of 4 batts are killed because of my turbo car! so if you have a non turbo x-speed car you should be fine with 2 or 3!

its meadowbank netball courts and we get there around mid-day. usually one of us at mid-day rest seem to follow from that time :smiley2:

ill be there if anyone needs a lift or something just pm me ill see what i can do (if you live 100k’s away from me i aint gonna pick u up! lol)

[dgs73]

and…? been there, done that, to be honest. Time to move on for me… you guys catch up

[MiniKing]

nah dude see we dont take this sh*t as serious as you do its only a hobby for most of us and we do it to have fun amongst friends and nothing is taken seriously we arent in direct competion…..we have more important things to be serious about like saving for real sh*t like a real car or a house and not toys!!!!!RC is a HOBBY dude it shouldnt run your life…..:shock::D

[dgs73]

and it’s all in good fun, remember? Im not here to argue, just race and have fun. I did it once, got bored. A new top speed had to be found eventually. (I have been at 50+ for over a year, you know.):approve:

[dgs73]

i cop attitude, i reflect it… it’s all good. It’s only a hobby for me too. Run my life? I have’nt had chicks that could do that successfully, let alone a hobby. You started this. I can go aaaalllllllll day

[MiniKing]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha thats so funny anyway moving on dont worry dave the races will continue without you dont worry and dont forget Roe has a track aswell so we wont be missing anything …:smiley2::D:smiley2:

[dgs73]

so you get rid of me… I thought that was the plan. Jay-Z has his way. As for that, Meadowbank is my backyard… i’ll always be there. You guys’ll have to deal. Or treat me like anyone else. We’re all there to have fun, remember? What’s your problem with me anyway?

[MiniKing]

no one is getting rid of anyone meadowbank is public domain no one owns it……wats your prob with me “show pony” wat fu*kn sh*t is that??? and your the one that said it has moved not me were still gonna go to meadowbank on Sunday and run our cars wether your there or not….!!!:D:smiley2::DWe are there to have fun thats why we go……it seems like you should be telling yourself that dude…..:D

[dgs73]

did i call you a show pony? Just looked at that post, did not call you that. There’s no name there. When I said it’s my backyard, you know what i mean. My parents house. Its close to me, what I meant. Like i said, i’ll be there. As always. Pick on dgs day anyone? I’m sure your up for it Jay-Z… My overall point (and i stopped being nasty 2-3 posts ago…) is that I started this little meet up in the area, and it feels
like now im being left out. Defending what i started, thats all. Can you stop this Aaron?

[Aaron]

Guys, I don’t need to remind you both that we don’t need this sort of bi@tching.

MK take a chill pill dude, no-one ‘owns’ rights on anything at Meadowbank – except maybe bragging rights for top speeds or race results. I read what Dave wrote probably a bit differently to you – it can be taken two ways… Take it the ‘good’ way …. ie Dave’s outa the top speed race for now and other’s are Welcome to ‘bring it on’…

Don’t start dragging the coolness of it down with arguement. I know Dave’s had one fo the fastest cars in Sydney for a long time, and naturally there’s other cars that are as quick these days.

BUT do not forget why you’ll all getting down to Meadowbank – it’s to hang out and be social like and have some friendly racing – not baiting and harrassing each other…

ok, i think the point has been made. pick on dgs day must be slang for “bad mouth everyone & have a cry when it doesn`t go your way”. no one is picking on you (feel better now baby?) just that me & everyone else is sick of tantrums & insults that you pass on frequently. aaron? -please understand what`s going on.

yo stop arguing everybody.. !

btw meadowbank was fun hehehe … i was coming 1st in the 1st lap how cool is that? Beginner’s luck 😀 hehe .. look forward to coming again sumtime.. =D

BACK TO THE TOPIC!!
WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO HHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Just hit 54ks running an Iwaver Pro motor, 11 tooth, iwaver PCB from Mocky/TallDude and ph2t’s phat nelly 1.3!!! now i wanna try either 5/6 cell or some lipos, ne1 got any tips?

Might have to *edit*ask*edit* Jamie for a DGS, PD special :p

Time for some speed runs this Sunday:D:D:D

[dgs73]

typical. this sorts itself out, then Jay-Z has a go. Im out. Say what you want, i’m here to race in share info. This had all blown over (and as MK says, all in good fun; for the better part…), and you start it again. We’re all happy here…

MK DGS73, thanks guys. I know you’re both prone to poking each other with sticks.

Jay-Z, please if you have an issue with someone try to clear it up in a PM with them and also let me know, I’ll kick anyones ar5e if needed.

OK – “Holding the queens crown for you” is a pretty tactless comment, but I don’t think for a moment that anyone is trying to be delibrately hurtful here. Heck I’ll take the Queens Crown if it’ll make everyone feel better – besides I have a great @ss in a short skirt :clown:

In the mean time I’m going to be watching all the posts made by MK, DGS and J-Z, and will step hard on anyone who’s not making an effort to keep things civil..

Settle it with the cars in a clean race… No use sitting at computers scattered around name calling.

Settle it in a race, meet ya behind the bike rack in 10 minutes (tm by Roe)

Runs away giggling insanely… kinda like goofy when he gets booted into the air…. you know what I mean…..

So lets all play with our toys nicely…..
*really runs this time for toys comment*

:clown:

[kevsta]

Wow… add some cleavage and some hipsters and we’ve got a scene for home and away. :p:D

So I’ve got top speed for the Z *for this week*. Who really cares ? I can assure you that I don’t and no I didn’t win any prizes. *LOL* I just merely pushed up the high water mark and I’m not going to brag about it either.

I just enjoyed putting all the theory to practice from all the information you get from ausmicro and other z sites and that wouldn’t have been possible if people didn’t share their knowledge for this wonderful hobby of ours.

So dudes, make up and give each other hug and a kiss on the cheek and lets enjoy Sunday racing gatherings in a friendly atmosphere.

Talldude, glad to help you out with your motors and motor mount, let me know when you get those new motors of yours man. Anyone else need help – just ask.

Roe, Thanks for letting me have a go of your drift car, I can assure you it was exhilarating.:D 54K’s on you i-waver – I think we’ve got enough contenders for some high speed netball court lapping races now.
😀

Icebreaka, You’ve got a good setup with that mr02 of yours. You were lapping me along with Big Dave 😯

[MiniKing]

Man sounds like I missed out Sunday shouldnt have left early…:sad::sad:oh well there always next time…..i reall cant wait to race again i prob wont be there this Sunday coming but i will be there the Sunday after that….im spewin aw well i guess itll give me time to get my rc cars(i have a few too many)running sweet……that Sunday i will return with my nitro car…..big grin on face and says:

[z-beam]

thanx for the fun fellas! it was real cool meeting you all in such a nice location (for racing!).

ive been kicking myself over fiddling with my rex for too long and not racing enough tyho, i left with a fully charged set of batts! damn you dgs and MK for the nice new parts i just had to install there and then. with the o-plate and the rear shock the rex is like a new car. smoooove.

im in the process of stripping the rx-7 MK, thanx a heap for the sweet deal! my my girlfreind is going to have a some fun now….. only thing i need now is another ball diff (:smiley2:). the blue just wasnt happening for me tho, and how long ago did you paint it dude? cos the paint is still sticky like it never dried properly… oh well. pity about the nice stickers tho they all came off.

hope you liked the gto talldude!

and sorry dgs and pete and the crew for the abrupt departure, emma was having a spaz and was coming past the house from the wrong directionblackeye:
“theres no f#@king price street i can turn left into!!!!” i had to walk a block or two while she coooled down over the phone to find her.

that 60+ effort of kevstas was awesome to see, tyre flew off and all!

hoped you liked the delivery roe!

[TallduDe]

high speed oval racing sounds a goer kev!

all we need is witches hats a turbo a fast motor and a 5-10 min limit (to prevent major meltdowns) and we have a race!

would be cool, anyone know where we can get a radar gun? LOL

[Roe]

Quote:

…:approve:thanks heaps man!! i won’t be able to have it untill the w/e, it’s been soooooo long might need a couple of days to recover, and thanks for coming down and joining us for the day! Hope we can do it again some time…:)

…I’m in TD, fo show!…:D

[dgs73]

z-beam; hope you did’nt get too much grief… was good to meet another fellow Z’er, hope it can happen again at another time!

[dgs73]

yeah, TallDude; i’ll be in now, too… but lets call it the last hurrah… these old motors are’nt gonna take another rebuild, me thinks… :dead:

[MiniKing]

Yeah TD im in on those high speed runs aswell man……i just have to get my 1.5 running sweet i already have the perfect shell to run on it a bright orange merc shell…….cant wait to turbo this thing man…!!!!:D:smiley2::D

[Aaron]

*laughs* I would love to see this. So we’re talking about running with motors that like have running lives measured in minutes before needing $$$ rebuilds? Yikes….

When did Mini-Zs get so expensive 😉

[dgs73]

i’m tired of shelling out cash after every 5 – 10 runs for rebuilds… this is the reason i’m out of the high speed game… once this motors done, that’s it. Maybe:smiley2:

[TallduDe]

y not do a high speed run! it will be like a eig oval…….. think an egg but on a grand scale!

have to use the real long netball court side have to have top speed and enuff runoff area.

plus cameras, radar, ice (for people and cars LOL) and enuff gutts to stay on the throtle. 😀

Edited by – TallduDe on 10 November 2004 23:34:06

[dgs73]

you and me have both found the grass on many an occasion TD… on the go button till the very last second…

[kevsta]

We all know that it won’t be your last high speed motor.

It’s pretty obvious that you’re addicted to it mate.:D:smiley2:

[TallduDe]

true true.

dont throw it all away man. just get bigger and better things to make you go faster thats all!

as for hitting grass i hope to do more of that aswell, but this time at 60+ speeds :evil::smiley2:

[dgs73]

addicted is as addicted does… yeah you guys are right i guess…

[kevsta]

So has anyone soughted out the witches hats ?

Or shall I buy 4 of ’em from Rebel sport ?

TD: Have you run your x-speed pro motor yet ? I’ve broken mine in, and it’s noisy like it’s scraping something inside of it.

[dgs73]

yeah i should be hovering just above/below the 60 mark… impacts could see one (maybe more) cars missing down there next week, I fear…:sad::dead:

[Roe]

…looks like im not gonna be in the high speed race guys, mockey needs his/td’s iwaver pcb back, but i’ll bring the drifter for a bash…

…KEV: sorry mate, i completly forgot! i’ll see if i can find some on the way home:clown:…

[TallduDe]

my iwaver pro seems to a POS.

its not as fast as the iwaver xspeed and the shaft has toooo much movement. i guess i got a bloody dud (go figure with that price!)

ill bring it with me and ill show ya.

more witches hats the better i reckon kev and Roe steal a good half a dozen LOL.

ill see if i can get any. no road works where i drive but if i find some ill get some. :smiley2:

Yeah, the scraping noises that I hear from my one doesn’t sound too healthy. But wouldn’t mind just giving it a run on your tammy to see how it compares.

🙂

[kevsta]

Had a go of my xspeed pro last night and it’s all okay – no more weird noises. Motor feels very quick and has lots of torque. Batteries very hot after 5 minutes run.

Think you might have a dud one TD.

[MiniKing]

Xspeed pro sounds cool were did you guys get these motors from i need two quicker motors for my Zs my bb motor seems to have a weird problem with it so i dont think ill get another one of those…..:sad:Im after a normal xspeed motor for my 02…..and i think im gonna get a iwaver pro motor for my 1.5 as that will we getting a 1.3 nelly soon………Hey TD i heard you got your 1/10 dude sweet cant wait to see it bro……:D:smiley2::D:smiley2:

Hopefully my servo motor wont seize up again either…:angry:

[Roe]

…Yeah, i should be there this sunday, had stuff to do last week. Got my iwavers yesterday, man those things are very fast stock! with a 9 tooth and an iwaver pro motor, i hit 45 on the speed checker, shame about the build quality tho, but for the price of 1 Z i got myself 3 of em…:D

[MiniKing]

Yeah man that Iwaver was quick last nite man i want to turn my 1.5 into a speed monster now they are worth it for the price…. the drifting was awsome last nite dude we just hve to get a few more packs so we can some longer run times…….i really want enough space to open my nitro car rite up we need to find a track of some sought……:D:Dno were near enough room last nite man it had been so long since i drove that thing i forgot how fast it was…..i might be there sunday cause i need to see Talldude…….:D:smiley2::D

[MiniKing]

Hey TD let me know if you gonna be there Sunday dude cause if not ill meet up with you somewere cause i need to give you the rest of the money i owe you……if you gonna be home on Saturday ill just bring to you at home if you want…??? Just let me know dude……:D:D:D

[Roe]

…yeah for sure bro, bring it down on sunday, the 7 courts might be long enough to see the beast really unwind!!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, the iwaver dosen’t like the futaba controller (unlike the Z) for some reason there was little range (1-5metres) using this controller, the KT2 seems to work fine with the iwaver! go figure!…:)

[dgs73]

Dave; Mini T comes tomorrow, you wanna come with to pick it up? Might have to go give it a bash too…:smiley2::approve:

[TallduDe]

hey Miniking dunno if im gonna be there this sunday might have things to do……….might.

if i do ill sms ya and u can come past on sat if thats cool kinda need the money to buy batts for my 1/10th. 😀

as for this talk of 1/18th i still want one, and after playing with my zip zap monster i would very much like a 4wd 1/18th coz 4wd is true offroad!

[MiniKing]

No worries TD just let me know dude….:D:D:D

[TallduDe]

yeah i guess i will be there this sunday after all. (who needs sleep?)

[MiniKing]

[Roe]

…no problemo dude, i’ll bring some PVC’s down & give ya a hand with the servo…:)

[kevsta]

Not sure if I can make it this Sunday, as I am chauffer to the airport…

Getting my sis to check rc18t’s in hk as well for me. Hope they have em in stock.

[TallduDe]

was a good day out for me yesterday.

had my tb02 runing, doesnt need any major work which is cool, consiering its my first ever 1/10th ive built i think i did alrite :smiley16:

all i need now is more batts(we all have been there) and some drift wheels!

have to upgrade my turbo its lacking punch thats for sure.

btw kev i got a pd motor that i need your help with.

im interested in the rc18t aswell but cant make up my mind between that or a mini quake?????

i like the look of the mini quake but the rc18t looks to have a better build and ive seen some vids of it in action, it looks the business!

btw my zip zap monster went up a dirt path just like a rock crawler but at 1/64th scale! was really cool.

[kevsta]

my tb02 hop up parts have been bought…

Now the long wait for the rest of the stuff…:)

I got a feeling the mini-quake might have more of a tendency to roll than the rc18t. But I agree it looks better…

[TallduDe]

what hop up parts did you get dude?

i got an alloy motor mount dats it.

[dgs73]

rollcall for Sunday!!! Who’s in?

[TallduDe]

50/50 chance of being there.

dont know if im allowed out that day…………..

[kevsta]

Quote:

Total of 10 hop up parts… don’t have the list with me right now, and don’t know what they’re called because it’s all new to me…
Things like the stabilizer bars, front rear uprights (whateva they are ?), steel pinions/spurs, light weight shaft, that ssg centre plate thingamyjig(?) plus more…

As for this Sunday, don’t know if I can make it either… with christmas coming soon, it’s like shop for presents and stuff but will know on the morning.

[TallduDe]

[TallduDe]

well accleration is good but top speed is shite.

handles well coz of lack of speed me thinks but, i got mine for drifting and novice races i dont want to spend a shite load on 1/10ths my bank balance is only just recovering from the mini z’s!!!!!!!

Very True dude……the stock motors are good for drifting and mucking around with…:D:D:Did like to see your 1/10 dude youll have to get it out man i got all my stuff in the back of my car, up for a race ….?????:D:D

[kevsta]

Yes surprisingly the cost of parts for 1:10 are about the same as mini-z parts with the exception of motors & batt packs. I won’t be doing any club racing at this stage, just casual friendly races around strategically placed witches hats.

MiniKing, when I get all my gear together, I’ll race you no worries.

😀

[MiniKing]

Sweet looking foward to it Kevsta we should all meet up at that netball court in Tempe one evening or day and do a bit of racing and drifting…..:D:D

[TallduDe]

i should be there tomorrow hopefully.

[kevsta]

Some ice cold drinks. Feet up, lying back on the sofa in airconditioned comfort, I,Robot dvd playing on the surround sound system. Eating leftover last night’s domino pizzas…

What more could you ask for..?

:smiley16:

[z-beam]

absolutly nothing… xcept beer!

[dgs73]

[kevsta]

I won’t be coming for the rest of 2004. Got work and christmas stuff on.

Next year should be good though, at least I’ll have some new toys to play with. 🙂

[dgs73]

we’ve got my mate Hugh to thank for that… i’m gonna ban his car from my driveway i think, while there’s still some gravel to preserve… you’re right though, and i thought the Monster was fun out back… the T is a blast, especially in (what’s left of) the gravel…

[TallduDe]

i wont be at meadowbank till next year working alot plus its nearly xmas forced to see family. blackeye:

[jamiekulhanek]

Forced to see family……LOL

[dgs73]

and i was looking forward to your showing up this weekend too… damn:D

[peteWah]

I want a PNS04 before i come down again…
38.000-39.000rpm and needing a 2×3 fet stack to run it, I think that my nelly car will love its new power plant :D:D:smiley2:

[dgs73]

we wont be down till next year Pete… gives you plenty of time to get the required cash together.

[TallduDe]

its a shame kinda that there wont be the Z’s flying around there till next year blackeye:

Yeah, I know what you mean, I’ve got an urge to take my z out for some good high speed racing around those netball courts again. It’s okay to run them indoors, but once in while you want to run continuous full throttle with no obstacles.

[dgs73]

lol oh but mate there will be!! still down every week excluding rainy days… its just not a big group thing. I live close so its easy…:D:p

[MiniKing]

yeah we definately need to organise a big meet for next year……it will be more than just the Z’s running though as now most of us have 1/10 electric touring cars……I cant wait next year is gonna go off we have enough 1/10 tourers to have some pretty cool races track and drift….cant wait can just picture 5 or 6 cars drifting at the same time…… :D:smiley2::D:smiley2: Im itching to race my drifter i had it out last nite i put foam tires on it and i was running it in the street in the dark…….only had street lights and car headlights as a guide my electric car is running really sweet….i want to race this thing on a proper track and against other 1/10’s…..:D:D:D

[dgs73]

and 18th scale Mini Ts… lol you guys got a portable 1/10 track eh? Cant wait to see it

[mini-g]

if you are going to be drifting im not bringing the tc3…. takes too long to clean the pvc snow off the car:dead: haha will have to get the tl-01 out for some drifting action.

BIG DAVE

[dgs73]

true… and that crap gets into everything… i found some in my servo box last night. Z servo box that is.:angry: Bugger that. It almost did

[MiniKing]

PVC aint that bad just use a air compressor to clean your car after a days run it all comes off no worries just as easy as dirt and dust….If you have a compressor that is……ill prob just drift my 1/10 at meadowbank and go to Tempe to race on a proper track.Portable track for 1/10’s whos got that…???? not a bad idea use the same idea as a z track…..but with bigger pipe.I got an idea……..:D:smiley2::D:smiley2::D

[dgs73]

use it wisely my friend…:smiley2: And i might try to get the Zers down and done by the time you 1/10ers show up… not runnnig through pvc dust AND dodging 1/10 missiles… PeteWah knows what i mean…:smiley2::D

[peteWah]

I want to get my 1:10 running again just for the purpose of drifting, All i need is the pvc and esc and im ready to go…

Me and Big Dave can be team TL01 drift and like MiniKing said it would be good to see six seven cars drifting…
Cant wait for the conversion

[peteWah]

Sorry dgs, Maybeeeeeeeee its time for you to get a cheap 1:10 just for the purpose as well
Or will it be sometime in the new year for you:smiley2: or not at all…:sad::evil::D:smiley2:

[dgs73]

mate I got into this hobby on the micro scale and that’s where i’ll be staying. So; not at all.

[peteWah]

Bore, Why >? thats not a good enougth reason mate !!!

you know i’ve got other hobbies too Pete… they’ve been left on the backburner long enough. A 1/10 would see me ignoring my (lets be honest) more enjoyable pass times for another year
Dont get me wrong though guys!! I do love my little cars… also, Pete; you know I dont do thing by halves… it would not be a cheap one, and it would’nt be stock. Due to my being like this i’ve decided to give 1/10 a miss. We’ll see how things are looking by my birthday

Edited by – dgs73 on 14 December 2004 16:40:57

[peteWah]

Thats not far off either…
If i were you which im not i would wait, Sounds like you dont want it just yet and your b-day is less than a month away, So maybeee you should wate till say mid year or so or get a tripmate…Hint

You will get a car i guess when you see the 1 you want and as it has not showed its face
I guess your not realy giving to shits either way

later rather than sooner

[TallduDe]

yeah the thought of pvc everywhere is not cool.

might have to use a “special drift court”

hate cleaning pvc off a hot mini z.

[peteWah]

Yeah and, A air compressor is not going to get all the stuff out of a motors guts of a mini z and it gets into the servo box as well as dave said…
(crunch break replace, no thanks)
That being said you can guess that my gripe is that its more maintainence for all :smiley2::smiley2:

[kevsta]

If it’s a choice of unwrapping girl pubic hair from the ball diff or brushing small flakes of pvc off – I’d know which one I’d choose.

[MiniKing]

LOL Kev……..a air compresor gets the PVC out fine pete, you have to remove the motor on the 1/10 anyway if you want to clean it properly well i do anyway….that way i can inspect brushes and clean the com……i dont have a problem getting the stuff off…….if you dont want the sh*t in your Z’s then run them seperatley and have a designated drift section….like Talldude suggested…..:D:D:D

[dgs73]

there’s only one or two haire on occaision Kev… because netball has been finished for ages. Hair only gets on/in the diff and wheel areas… that pvc crap gets EVERYWHERE

[mini-g]

man u supply the compressor and no worries. and having a drift area is not much better as it seems to float all over the place.

BIG DAVE

[dgs73]

my point exactly… would’nt mind if I only had one or two cars running, but having to do all of them…:angry:

[peteWah]

Buy a real set of drift tires:evil:

[kevsta]

Here we go again…:smiley2:

Pete; getting all assertive eh? Picking up bad habits off me… 😀 Do what i do Pete; change venues

This is how flame threads start… just like the other ones…

[dgs73]

true, true… but how do you make a point without the politically correct crowd getting rowdy? We just want them to know how alot of us Zers feel about that pvc everywhere. You mentioned one or two bits of hair? How about one or two thousand bits of fine pvc everywhere? This I think is Pete’s gripe… and well justified

Oh, my point about the hair was, yes I would prefer to remove hair rather than fine particles of pvc and yes it was also affecting my handling because it was reducing tyre grip, and yes I took extra long to maintain the car afterwards and who knows what it’s doing to our systems if we’re inadvertently inhaling it when a gust of wind decides to blow it in our direction.

I’m sure the drifters weren’t aware of all the pvc dust being left behind and the ill affects of it on other racers.

All we can do I think is to ask and to be nice about it.

🙂

[TallduDe]

real drift tires are expensive and dont last long.

all this time without a drifter on the courts must mean that its clean for now. lets try to keep it that way and only use one side for drifting and on the far other side for Z’s.

btw kev when is that rc18t coming in u used it yet?

[bithed]

…you guyswill SERIOUSLY wet your pants when the 18 arrives…Look forward to it…

[z-beam]

hey talldude, make some pvc’s for your zz monster! im sure that wont make as much mess!

[peteWah]

Finally sorted are we, YES >GOOD
Bring on the hair:D:D:approve::smiley2:

[dgs73]

this weekend will see a unique meet of sorts, and also last for the year (officially…) give me a buzz those of you that want in…:p

[peteWah]

I guess i will see you there then:smiley2:

[dgs73]

no worries PeteWah… just be at my joint at the usual time…:D

[Aaron]

To mark the final meet of the year I will be there!

Bring good weather… Should be there by about 13:00 – Direct to Meadowbank unless the weather is crap – in that case Daves place!

[Geo-Z]

Hey guys!

Just a little note from ur recently sabbatical ausmicro sydney member….i’m once again overseas, my sis is getting married, so been busy lately…..haven’t seen y’all for a while but i’ll be back in mid jan. Hows the the plasma dash dgs? Got nething newer that i’ve missed out? Sorry haven’t been there to help with the steering issues petewah, i’ll be sure to look into it when i get bak next yr; talldude, JAY-Z, miniking, roedoner, mocky, kevsta….hope everything’s been ok. Have a merry xmas and a happy new year. Damn, everytime Aaron or someone from outta town comes over, i ain’t there 🙁

On the plus side, things are quite cheap in HK and Taiwan….they are mad on Z’s here. The awesome MR02 M3’s and mclarens gt’s are here in abundance, as are mod motors and fets galore. Oh yes, I got a battery mod done on my overland, its now capable of being yoked to a 7.2V Li-on batt. Coupled with a 35T motor, the thing is stupidly fast! Now i know why those with lithium mods are so pleased with the speed increase.

i am also dangerously close to being sucked in by micro RC helicopters….they are cheap here, the 46cm ESKY Honeybee is only $200 au…..yow…..

[dgs73]

WAY too hot yesterday… we were mad to stay down there that long. Good to hear from you again Geo, hope everything’s cool. They got the slk55 amg (for ’02 chassis; mid mount) over there? Dribble… Nice looking shell

[TallduDe]

yeah yesterday was wayyyyyyyyy tooo hot to do anything i would of died if i went to meadowbank i dont like heat that much.

good to hear from ya geo we’ll all be bak there next year i believe!

btw dave i got myself a mad max interceptor dirty version aswell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cant wait to have it here at home on my shelf taking pride of place there for sure 😀

[dgs73]

cool mate… readyset or ASC? Either way congrats on a cool find…:approve::D

[kevsta]

Yep just a bit too hot yesterday for me looks like the christmas shopping is done.

Who’s up for some mini-z drag racing next year ?

:p

[dgs73]

maybe

[peteWah]

Yes, next year it is then…
I will have some pretty nice mini z stuff by next year…
Its a secret___SHHut uuuuup.

Dont worry Geo, We are going to maybe have a big meetup around Feb for all…Thanks for the well wishes :smiley2:

So, Merry Chrismas to all and a Happy New Year…
Hope everyone has a good break and i will see you all next year with new toys… :smiley2:

[dgs73]

hhmmm… i know what you’re up to Pete…:D:approve::smiley2::p

[TallduDe]

i got the rtr set.

whats this maybe crap dave you’ll be in for the drags :p

ill still be going to meadowbank its one of the smoothest surfaces around. im still surprised that an rc club hasnt set up there yet, besides us of cource.

[dgs73]

they wont allow a serious 1/10 group down there… those courts are there for the netballers, funded by the netballers, etc. We get told to move, we move, if we want to run there again. As for the drags, I stand by my maybe. rtr eh? Good to see im not the only Z collector left in Sydney. Unless you’re going to run it.:shock: it will be :dead: in no time… best to keep it on the shelf so it’s always there to 😀 at and :approve: of… lol

They still about? Do we want the track too? Is anybody listening to me?:smiley2::clown: lol

[peteWah]

so its feb 6th for me (fuck) dats a long time without runing z’s

[Aaron]

The Powertech 900s seem salright – not great but alright… Thanks the trade card they can be had at very very reasonable prices 😉

Pete, Hopefully it won’t be too long before you’ve got the toys.. I should be getting the mess sorted by the end of the week, then it;s just delivery time 😉

Dave, go to http://ice.auspost.com.au and trace EE614144553HK ….. It’s in Sydney right now…. I expect it quite soon.

Cheers Aaron,
Cant wait but i guess you know this ! ! !

As for the batts,
More you buy the cheeper they are, So i jumped at the fact…
These Powertech 900s give my car more punch than the 800s i have used in the past, and not that i’ve used other cells like sanyo’s before, Its time now to sorce a set…
Sony/Sanyo 900s for $18.00 a 4pack, and i will get 2 packs.
Not that it would matter which one’s, they come out of the same factory as they are the same battery, diffrent colour’s.
And yes i have a charger that can charge 10 at a time…

my little wrx is like pushing 25 hehe if the wind’s blowing the right way that is /wink

novin

[dgs73]

i’m happier running the 30k car… much less maintenance… top speed a fair while ago was about 57kph with the Madman GTR… got a new motor floating about so we’ll see what speeds i can achieve now

[mocky]

im in for the 23rd, any chance the pvc track is comin dgs?

[TallduDe]

true dave the stockish by that non-turbo cars are ezier to maintain!

esp with this heat the turbo cars can only be run for 5mins b4 the everything and i mean everything heats up. i still remember when my turbo car got so hot that theswitch moved outta of the chasis, not good at all!

i knew you’ll get a new motor dave! lol cant help urself aye dont blame ya.

man i wish i had a free weekend but looks like i dont untill the 6th of feb blackeye:

untill then keepp this thread alive we gotta beat the old one!!

[kevsta]

Who’s in for some high speed circuit racing on the day ?

My fingers are itching, and the Z’s have a thick layer of dust on them.

[mocky]

same here kevsta, this iwaver 02 needs to be run in a race, i wanna see wat a 02 chassis can do at full throttle. dgs whip out the pvc track . 😀

[TallduDe]

well mocky i used a 10t same as dave i think? we both got a 30-32khm top speed on the checker. accelration is still good.

new track aye any more hints dave?

[z-beam]

thats a fantastic photo dgs, may ask what your source was?

[dgs73]

you mean the storm photo? Was emailed to me a couple of days ago… TD; think structural strength… plus should (will!) add a degree of difficulty to the layout…:p

[z-beam]

I’ll bring them on Sunday afternoon.

I’m still on my original servo gears so don’t have any use for them.

[dgs73]

$$ for you Sunday

No need, I got a few packs of the delrin ones in my parts box and can’t see myself using them unless I crash hard into a track barrier.

LOL Don’t mod it – it handles extremely well stock. I look back now and think I could have gotten a tc4, hpi pro 4 or tb evo iv for the money that I’ve pumped into it.

🙂

[dgs73]

Mocky,

It’s got the aluminium steering set, evo 3 light weight shaft, ssg centre plate underneath. Also running f201 high speed gear set with 28 tooth pinion.

Good for running in novice and stock class I think.

[TallduDe]

LOL, the tb-02 gearing doesn’t stop there either, you can go even higher to a 49T Spur gear and a 31T pinion gear to get a ratio of 4.12

😀

And who’s up this Sunday for the Z’ing? Roooooollcaaaaall!!!!! Waiting for the numbers to justify this tracks presence (and existance, these days…:smiley2:)

[TallduDe]

well i be there this sunday for sure. i aint got a z atm bit of an incident with the turbo car blackeye:

plus im getting a surprise done to my old mr01 :smiley16:

as for castle hill which nights are they anyway? i might go in the next few weeks after i get my mini sorted i always wanted to race in a big field of minis should be hell funny to watch and race in 😀

[dgs73]

Friday nights dude… usually there is only 5-6 Minis racing… including a Aust. (world?) champion… and he’s damn good. Awesome to watch them racing as accidents are rare, and they can gt them back on their wheels without aid of marshalls… what’s happened to your Z mate? Hope it’s nothing too serious…

[kevsta]

I’ve got to spend time with the family this Sunday, so no racing for me unfortunately.

[dgs73]

ohh… damn. Mocky? Stu? Pete, i guess you’re in… Dave, same deal i think/hope… Geo; don’t know if you’re gonna see this before Sunday, but we all miss your presence…

[mini-g]

should be there, let’s hope the weather keeps up its side of the bargain!!!!!:D

[dgs73]

yes, true… weather watch sez it’ll be partly cloudy with nop rain both days… 27 degrees on Saturday too so i’ll be painting the shell that day, but doubt it’ll be dry enough to use Sunday, not sure

[mocky]

shhhhh im layin low till the tb02 comes outta the shop, just having major issues with shippin costs, 50usd just to ship an esc and radio doesnt seem worth it.
any one who knows any1 who is familar with hobby shops in san francisco tell me!!! i’ll be goin there for a while.

[dgs73]

got the painting done on the 1/10 today, then spent about 2 1/2 hours applying the decals… that time woud’ve been quartered had they been pre-cut…

[z-beam]

hows the z racing being going fellas? im really looking forward to the next oppurtunity to come down and have a thrash at the track with you all…

and whats this about the aussie mini champ, are you talking kyosho mini-z or somethin else… if it kyosho go and give the guy some competition!

[dgs73]

talking about the Tamiya Minis… would be good to catch up with you again too…

[z-beam]

how many mini coopers are down at the courts then? are they being run on your track dave? it would be tight but a challange with a pair of them!

im guessing 1/10th right? are they 4wd?

[mini-g]

na man they are 1/10th scale, front wheel drive just like the real thing and about as much fun to drive.

[dgs73]

especially getting them sideways around corners!! A heap of fun…:D

[TallduDe]

[novin]

/wave~

sorry dgs, was prepping the bottom paddock for the mare, she arrives today actually…

finally she got pregnant, good ole stallion finally did his “studly” duties hehehe ‘n before you all think wtf? or even wth? no, i didn’t do it, she got done by a 5 year old golden brown stallion down in vic. which is ace, since she’s been gone now for like 5 months…so in like a few months maybe like 6 or so, will have some pics of a new foal $$

this sunday may be a go-er, dunno yet, gotta work this satuday over at Hinchinbrook so we’ll see how i’m going…

novin

[dgs73]

novin

[TallduDe]

how was yesterday guys?

i couldnt go my sister gave birth her first kid so it was a big occasion. btw it is a girl 😀

[dgs73]

pretty hot weather-wise… not to mention a total of 3 Z’s carking it during the day… and there was only three of us there!! None of mine gave in to the pressure, i’m pleased to say. Congrats to your sis btw TD…:D

[peteWah]

Yes well hmmmmm, Bad day for me you could say…

My focus (50+ + car) went on a 16 metre rolling frenzy and stopped dead, Not me driving it though…A friend of mine did that so i fixed it today…all is good…and and,

My nelly (60+ + car) had issues before it even started ripping it up due to the motor terminal decideing to snap of completely
Now fixed but i dont want to ever do a solder fix like that again for Gods Sake…

And my stock car is having a major problem to which im pulling my hair out >(of which there is alot of)
With a stock motor i have no reverse but ok going forwards and with another motor that i made which had a stock armiture with a bb case dose the complete oppisite…:evil:
What have i burnt out ?????:8ball::question:

Any comments will be welcomed!!!

Will be roaring down the park next week for shaw…
:smiley2::D:D:p:approve::smiley2:

[mocky]

simple answer, try pn s05 maybe that will yield great results. but honestly it may be the contacts to the brushes to comm u should be checkin out.

[TallduDe]

hey pete you still runing that high mount thing for the focus?

if you are i got a high mount friction damper which could fit might improve handling, worth a shot i reckon.

i would love to see a s05 in action heared alot of things about em, who will be willing to buy one then?

hopefully i should be there this sunday i will confirm closer to the day, plus i still got some surprises. 😀

[peteWah]

Yep TD,

As for the high mount friction damper,
How much do you want to part with it And….

A PnS05 was what i was getting for the particular car in question….And still getting:approve:
But not to sure about my stock car atm,
The problem seems Terminal… No sound no responce

Mocky,
I dont think its a brush to comm contact problem either,
The motor i made was nothing special, tWas just a stock armiture with a bb case, So whats the go because its died like a iWaver ,Quickly 👿

Finally,
The stack with the focus was the BIGGEST Z crash my car has ever had and ohh so Funny it was as well,Spinning and tumbling across the court
Its came to a rest with the chassis landing on its wheels and the shell sitting next to it after the car had rolled for 16 metres And was dead, Then began the slow walk to check the damage, All its problems are now fixed:D:p:smiley2:

How i like that iWosho Focus:smiley2: ph2t and others> Will know what i mean by that:D

I Hope Sunday is on for next week Peoples:smiley2:

[TallduDe]

dunno bout a price man. if it works we’ll talk then.

16 meter tumble aye now thats a talent!

[dgs73]

if they’re in stock i’ll get a PNS05 this week… anyone know if Aaron’s got em yet? (have’nt had a chance to check…)

[peteWah]

Yes they should be in stock in the shop, Go have a look see:smiley2:

[dgs73]

[ph2t]

[TallduDe]

[kevsta]

Okay, so about what time meadowbank this weekend ?

It won’t be fun if I turn up and you guys have already dumped all of your batteries or vice versa.

[TallduDe]

12:30 – 1pm ill be there.

shame bout no track wanted to do some mini z racing. anyone got garden hose?

[peteWah]

After 12 say, Is that ok…..:smiley2:

I will have a friend with me and possibly a mate of his
who have just recently gone out to buy iWaver’s

Some strange things have happened to there cars in the last week to which 1 IW was replaced after burning out a drive fett with a 9tp IW Xspeed [Not the PRO]
and im not sure what happened to his mates other 1 But he now has a 2nd IW with his first 1 being fixed at the LHS

STRANGENESS

See you down there with what i have now named iWosho
:p:approve::D:smiley2:

[peteWah]

I will see what i can do about hose, The hose was always fun:smiley2:

[kevsta]

Okay, 12.30 – 1pm it is.

As for the iwaver blowing up, could it have been due to bad meshing ?

[TallduDe]

could be because it is a iwaver 😀

those motors are a bit too much for an iwaver me thinks

[peteWah]

dgs has fractured his rist/Big Dave said he may come :smiley2:

[TallduDe]

dave can still come on sunday! wats a fracture lol

ill ring him anyways he can still see what new toys i got.

[Aaron]

iWaver FETs are no worse than Kyosho – the iWaver x-Speeds (Not PRO) are a very mixed bag though. I wouldn’t put an X-Speed in anything from either Kyosho OR iWaver without expecting to pop a FET sooner or later.

Even whacking in a single (non stacked) IRF7317 or SI4562DY is a definate improvement in durability and a minor performance improvement.

I’m finiding 2×2 stacks are great for warm motors and all round driving.

Remember a stock motor will blow FETs if you load it up too hard, This is actually part of the Dyno Design challenge. More on that later….

[peteWah]

Both Car’s are now fixed from Todays goings on…
10/04/05
They keep breaking And i keep fixing them:smiley2:

I smashed into TD’s Foot at high speed blackeye: with the nelly car and not only dislodged both body clips from the Corvette but Smashed the original H plate (Splintered It)
It came with the car when it was sent up from Melbourne, That was a good h plate…!:D:D:smiley2:blackeye:

…And again broke the motor terminal of the Nelly, Which is the job i hate fixing most:evil:

ph2t,
What type of Platomic have i got, Is it neo or ferrite
(Did i spell that wright)

Cheers…:smiley2::smiley2::smiley2:

Edited by – peteWah on 10 April 2005 21:19:06

[peteWah]

I worked it out, They are Neo:smiley2:

I want the other version of this motor, then i would realy scream:D

[TallduDe]

yeah that was a great crash pete!

still have to say sorry to kev for smashing into at full speed with the mini :blush:

wasn a good day should do it again!
still miss meadowbank cant wait till the netballers are off it so i can let loose the turbo car!

[kevsta]

Yeah, you got me hard with the mini, I was in pain but lucky no blood, just some minor bruising on the small toe.

Had fun on the day, but brush farm courts are extremely dusty compared to meadowbank.

I’ve changed back to running the silver can for next week man.

[TallduDe]

:blush:

well no blood at least.

the surface wasnt that great for mini z’s have to admit that, but now my tamiya mini is runing well.

i dont think i will ever get a stock motor too much hassles for a guy like me man.

I can do the motor stuff for you if you don’t want the hassles. Apart from comm cutting, changing brushes & springs, oil bushings, or re shimming it if necessary. I don’t think there’s anything else to do… Big Dave can explain it to you…

Btw.. you running the mini cooper or the tourer on Sunday ?:D

[KittyKatSmack]

At this Sunday’s races, be sure to have a moments silence for the founding of ausmicro.com….

A big well done to Aaron, and to all you members thtat make this site work!

[dgs73]

yea, i agree. without this site, there would be no Sunday racing… three cheers for birthday boy… btw, going to be in Lithgow for racing this weekend again so wont be at Meadowbank…

[kevsta]

Anyone up for a run this Sunday – Brush Farm or Meadowbank ?

[dgs73]

mate i’m always up for either… or both. Don’t mind giving the Mini T a thrashing up at brushnut though, i must confess… lets call in the troops! ROOOOLLLCAAAALLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! We should try to get the whole Sydney crew togther again, that’d be sweet…

[peteWah]

Im in for sure…!:p

[dgs73]

that yellow is soooo hard to read on this background Pete… lol anywho, what about J & J? Reckon they’ll be in?

[peteWah]

Its orange and im not sure what theme your using but it looks fine to me and again im not sure if the J and J will be there…

Lets ask, Are you going to be there Jason…Jake:smiley2:

[dgs73]

silvergates mate… my eyes cant seem to focus on the orange with light blue behind it. Odd. You must have the green background still going

[TallduDe]

dunno if i can make it have to see what mothers day plans are on.

if nothing special im there keen to let the mini z loose.

bringing the track dave i got a mr02 which i would love to see handle around a track!

[kevsta]

Oh man, mothers day. I’ve forgotten.

Might have to see if any family stuff is on before I say I’m going…

[dgs73]

yeah, that sounds fine. Aching to use that track actually, it’s ben ages. Had forgotten ’bout mother’s day, i’ll just have to go see the fam before i tromp down the park.

[TallduDe]

couldnt go today !!

stupid mothers day

how was it?

[mini-g]

yeah i was nice and stayed home with the wife,

so who went down??????

ITS BACON!!!

[kevsta]

I also had to spend the time with family…so couldn’t make it.

I bought about 12 witches hats/cones on the weekendso next time we’re down there we can lay them out and have some fun !

[peteWah]

My Nelly car is terminal, It needs to be sent to Melbourne for a Major fix,

I had gone through 4 sets of batteries and was colling it down before i put the last set in,
Put them in and the motor & steering were twitching like mad…
It dose not have the burnt out electronic smell, no white smoke appeared and there is no interaction between controler and car what so ever, even after trying other crystal sets and another controler…

I was even going to swap out the pcb but i would have to take the nelly of also and im not at all wanting to do that job, Plus i dont know if thats the problem….

It’s safe to say,
I have no idear so its time for a tech head to have a look see…(Help ph2t)

Its Bacon :smiley2:

Edited by – peteWah on 09 May 2005 12:11:30

[z-beam]

i wont eat it…

[peteWah]

But you can tell its not Bacon :smiley2:

Its Bacon ! ! !

[z-beam]

any chance of explaining what the hell all this banter about pork is?

[dgs73]

Z Beam; you seen that latest Smackos ad on tv? (It’s BACON!!!!!!!) There’s your answer. An unoriginal bunch we are…

[z-beam]

thats that doggy chew stuff right? i only really watch dvd’s and digital foxtel and if the occasional add comes on i usually change the channel.

[dgs73]

yep, that’s the ad. More annoying the more you see it…

[mini-g]

its bacon!!!!!

[dgs73]

ROLLCALL!!! Who’s in this Sunday? The track will be present again, so throw a seven or eight tooth in ya Z and head down!!Oooh, just passed 2000 posts!!

[TallduDe]

[Aaron]

So what’s the story with the weekend carnage?

A.

Site Owner Guy.

[peteWah]

To bloody much of it i say…
Got run over with a 1:10 Thrice, 3rd time unlucky…
(Hplate Grrr)
I was running a chassis only which was good and bad i guess… With 1:10’s being able to run straight over the top of you with out breaking bodies is the 1 advantage if you want to call it such…
Funny to see a Z spaaaaat out the back of a 1:10, Sorta…

I had a big shunt with Daves AMG to the point that when both cars made contact they left the ground, I broke his shell with my Chassis and he broke my H plate…
Broke two 02 H plates on the day.

And we wont forget the bloody kids, Not that they made contact with me in anyway, Poor Dave And Jason got squashed by Indians Bloody…… Grrrrrrrrrrr

[peteWah]

Dave should have more to add :dead::huh::smiley2:

[z-beam]

i think ill be staying in dural again in a week or so so i should be able to make a meet… i want to deliver some goods to talldude personally as well and wouldnt mind having a race or two…

[peteWah]

Sounds good,
As you Know, You can open your Z’s right up down at Meadowbank which i guess will be a good change for you…

You will have a few other fast Z’s down there to compare with And maybe Aaron could come up also and we could have a HUGE meet… :huh: HINT HINT You can do it :huh:

Who’s In :p:smiley2:

[TallduDe]

hopefully ill be there on sunday have to leave early got a family thing at 430!!!!!!

need to test my Z’s gathering dust is not cool

[dgs73]

not happy, Jan… Aaron; pretty as that Supra was, unfortunantly it did not survive yesterday’s incidents… So that Esso i’ll grab this week. For sure. Other carnage? Well, my 02 got grabbed byTWO dogs, my 01 Merc shell is split up the centre, and the Dynacity Supra is DEAD AS. I mean there’s nothing left. Makes me want to cry… On the upside, at least all of our electronics survived. Just, in some cases…

[TallduDe]

what the………

howd the supra get destroyed? kids?

[dgs73]

kids and dogs, mainly… oh so not happy!!

[z-beam]

dogs i can understand, but i hope the parents where there with their checkbook handy

[kevsta]

Sorry to hear this…

You should havepicked up the kid’s bike and launched it several metres into the air in a fit of rage.. that should make you feel better…

I think the parents should be responsible for the damage that their kids cause. The lack of discipline these days disgusts me…

[peteWah]

[peteWah]

Sorry Dave,
but you did finish the car of yourself, who blames you after it got the Treatment it did yesterday…

My mate Jason continually got His iWaver run over by unsupervised Indian children Not only would they hit it but they would turn around and hit it again if it was offline…
Little Buggers would not leave us alone untill Jason promptly told the parents to keep them away and that there were 20 other courts for them to use
I think Jase was about to Pop big time :dead:

1 of Kids sounded like Boomhower of King Of The Hill when he was talking to me to which i replied > Dude all i under stood then was Hay man…:D

Better luck next week, I hope :smiley2:

i was thinking more of sticks chucked into front spokes, but that’s not nice. As for the dicipline… best not to get me started. But i will say that in my young day (lol old foagie term!) it was’nt assault to smack your kid. These days parents can get sued by their offspring for that sort of thing. That’s f*#ked. Whats that expression? Spare the rod, spoil the child? Anyway… Enough of this, i feel 60 years old. Pete; true, but there was’nt much of a job to finish after the days activities. This week, track goes again. At least they wont rideover that… will they? Fingers crossed…

[mini-g]

well if they try it will be the last thing they do in there short stupid lives!!!!!!

hope the weathere is nicer this weekend

[kevsta]

I think all we need is pete around to shout the usual ‘Git da faarrk out of here…’ when they venture in too close. That should get the parents attention to keep the kids away…

[bithed]

…make up a flier…Give it to the child and ask them oh so nicely to go and show mummy and daddy…The flier will read…

…We will demand coverage of ANY damage caused by the actions of ANY child in your care…Please be careful…You have been warned…

…And provide the phone number of a lawyer 😀

[mini-g]

hahahaha…that should wake them up!!!!!

[dgs73]

hehehehe… that”s good, Bithed… i like it.

Edited by – dgs73 on 17 May 2005 11:12:35

[dgs73]

so we”re agreed… no kids and no dogs… neither can be trusted around Zs… though i think dogs are worse damage causers. Beware of Fluffy…

Dunno how well that goes 🙂 I think it’s just down to many kids these days (and their parents) lacking respect for other peoples property!

looks like ill be there but only for a short while have to leave by 3pm

hows 12 noon sound for a start?

[mocky]

sorry i havent been able to make it to meadowbank, ive got prelims at school so ive been a bit occupied. dun worry mocky will be bak by the next school holidays with some new toys for the winter season . …

[kevsta]

I can’t make it this Sunday. The other half has made plans to visit a friend that’s just had twins and I totally forgot about it…

Damn, wanted to try out my new 1:10 chassis.

[TallduDe]

new 1/10th???

ummmmm in the infamous words of pauline pantsdown ‘please explain?’

[dgs73]

i’ll give you a hint TD; it’s bacon!!! Chewy smoky yummy BACON!!!!!!! lolbtw, track WILL be present this Sunday

[Aaron]

By saying it’s Bacon Dave you could be implying his car is a fat lazy porker of a thing that could barely get it’s single-parent 8 teet udder ouf the way of a stock IW00 😉

Site Owner Guy.

[kevsta]

Yeah nothing special…

[TallduDe]

yeah right!

i bet with you kev u already have 4 sets of everything spare for it already!!!!!

[z-beam]

awesome news dave! cant wait to have a lash at some trackwork with some good drivers! i got 5 sets of batts ready to go including some new duracell 750mah from singapore (hope they are good!).

do you guys use foamies on your rides?

what set ups do you run on the track so that its a fair race? all i know is that its stock motor and chassis with a 7tooth pinion. anything else?

i still want to have an open race with whoevers up to it, bring out your best set-ups guys!

[dgs73]

i use foamies sometimes, but mainly go with the rubber, about 20-30 degrees depending on temp. Being that it does’nt come out very often we tend to race what set upwe have on the track, but obviously hard motored stuff with 12+ tooth pinions need not apply! About 8 tooth and stock (or even X speed; there’s enough room…) is fine. An open race would be good though… What time you getting into Sydney Z beam? (unless you already are)

[z-beam]

i’ll be in dural tonight. probably around 8 or 9pm.

having 3 cars means i’ll be able to have a few different set-ups ready to go for sunday.

8 tooth, stock chassis and x-speed sounds good. i can fulfill all those requirements.

[mocky]

lolz , i hope i can come soon, afta my tests i should be set. so far i got a tb02 every1 should noe bout, and there should a surprise along wif that ,i’ll call it project mockinator hopefully wen im bak racing u’ll see it running.

Edited by – mocky on 22 May 2005 01:10:34

[TallduDe]

was a cool day today.

i liked the track i modified it a little bit it was a cool set up. lol

the MR02 is a great car makes a ordinary driver like myself into a good one. im gonna get another x-speed should be good when i use that badboy. (watch out big dave! LOL)

dunno when the next time ill be there again sundays are looking booked out again

cant wait till dave makes modifications to the track when he does it will be mad!!!

all we would need is a timing system i know i know a big ask but we can always dream aye?

[mini-g]

all we need is a laptop!!! i have the program to run a timed race meeting!

bring the x-speed on T.D. lol

BIG DAVE

[Aaron]

Why not settle on one of the FET friendly PN motors? Little more go than an X-Speed without being a silly speed demon that fries everythign 😉

i got a lap top dave its an old one just sittin on the shelf its a p2 could it work?

[TallduDe]

oh yeah how odes it work dave?

[z-beam]

thanks for a fun day guys! i really look forward to the next time around and for the track to be set up even more (its great the way it is!) and ytrack timing?! wow cant wait!

pete let me have a go with his pn motor and it really hammered, cant wait to get one myself (hes a good pr man Aaron!)… really makes the difference having a nice smooth motor allthough my driving on the day was piss poor!

was fun to see the supra get a real work out, and jase’s plane get worked as well!

[Aaron]

Which motor was it? The S04 or the S05? *ponders* There’s a new revised S03 on the way that’s supposed to be up to 20% stronger than the previous S03 😉

[mini-g]

the program is on cd, so your laptop will need that. i think????

it is manual counting but at least it is something!!!!!

[TallduDe]

yer i guess dude but its a good start!!

club racing here we come aye lol.

[dgs73]

struth, this is all happening eh? A question; if manual counting, why the laptop? And yes, manual timing is better than no timing at all… looking forward to a bit of timed racing on a Z scale…

[kevsta]

I’m guessing that each car will have a number/colorattached to the antenna and as your car passes the start/finish line, someone yells out there number/colour and the marshall manually hits the appropriate key.

Just hope the laptops rechargeables last for a few hours… my old pentium laptops rechargeables are completely dead.

And guys… I bought a tamiya evo iii surikarn with all the red bling – can’t wait to run it. You guys running brush farm meet ?

[dgs73]

when do you mean Kev? Might be going this Friday, gotta talk to big Dave about it… would’nt mind a bit of a hack *cough cough… waiting…* around their track before the inter club comp gets there. Need some practice up there i think…

[Aaron]

Best manual timing system I’ve seen ran on one of those handheld PC (technically is was a Psion) with a touch screen. The screen had big buttons for each car that were pressed each tiem the car completed a lap. It then did lap times, lap counts, and all that stuff including beeping like crazy att eh end of the race.

Manual timing like that is not as accurate as an electronic system but usually will give results that are fair and most importantly track lap counts which is often the hardest thing.

You’ve answered my question. inter club comp is what I was referring to. Wouldn’t mind having a race with you guys… you guys entering 540 class ? I got to get permission first and if all is okay then submit my entry form.

Btw what’s ‘hack’ in terms of rc. Is that when you use your car to knock off an opponent intentionally ???

Now there’s anidea.. if there is one of those lap counting software available for the old palm pilot, I’ve got to download it.

grrr!!!!

the program i have is the shareware allycat!!!! same as used in 1/10th racing but without transponders, IE!!! you have to press the key each time the car goes past! same as the hand held thingy. plus if we have speakers it will call out all the stuff we get in normal races. it is accually a real good program.

yes that is what a hack is kev!!!!

dont think brushnut is on tonight so the hill it is! hope you make it to the club challenge kev, be good to race together. how much did you pick up the evo for?????

Dave, got the evo 3 for $220… came with original box, manual & parts, plus nip hard springs and a-arms plus 3 sets of foamies and 3 sets of takeoff/sorexes plus slightly used alfa body…

Thought it was a bargain really – they used to cost around $570 2 years ago. Main reason for getting this one is that parts are interchangeable with the tb02 and lighter weight.

[mini-g]

man that is a bargain kev! good buy.

and you have lost your hack title dgs, remember!!!

you drove clean last race. no hack for you!!!

[dgs73]

gee, that’s nice. Guess i’l have earned it back after moving up a class tonight… but dont worry mate, i’ll be in 540B, so your X-Ray will survive the night…

[mini-g]

hahahahahaha…yes it will, i will be running stock or mini.

[TallduDe]

hey kev when do we have to have entry forms in for the club challeneg?

kinda interested in mini class should b fun.

1st of June is the deadline I think. I haven’t got my entry in yet but will submit on Monday.

I’m planning on running 540 class with the Daves…

Does anyone know what scrutineering is like ? I can’t remember if the rear spoiler of my 350z is higher than the roof.

[TallduDe]

yeah i guess ill go in it aswell kev should be fun. ill see ya on sunday and see if i can go in with the daves aswell.

hey dave heres a corner idea help to tie down the ends to prevent the whole pvc from moving.

could be ezy to make all you would need is foam from an old packing foam box , use some ripple strip stuff from an old track(i think i still got some left) and just stick her in.

ill try to make some btw what size pvc is the track 22mm or 25mm?? ill give it a go uni is finished and nothing to do.

Edited by – TallduDe on 27 May 2005 16:54:17

[dgs73]

dude!! Not bad, we used something similar to those yesterday. Works well, plus easy to see(read: avoid)…

[z-beam]

red ellectrical tape stripes/bands woulda helped heaps when i was there to tell the difference between the court markings and the track… cheap and easier than painting it on…

[dgs73]

the end caps which i have (and we used yesterday) are almost the same shape, cut out of 12mm mdf and painting an obnoxious shade of bright orange. Easy to see, but still need to be fixed to the track. Oh, for more time to work on this thing… TD; the pvc I used is 25mm mate.

TD and Kev; 1st was the cut-off for the entries to be in, but i’m sure you can pay on the day, just a bit extra. Or give Jenni Thorne a call and she could take your details (that’s a maybe; not 100% sure about that…)

They have till Wedensday Dave…

[kevsta]

I’ve pm’d the head SMA guy with my details for entry. So hopefully all goes well, I’ll be seeing you all next Sunday.

[dgs73]

ah, good stuff Kev… hope to see you both there!! Oh, not sure if scrutineering is that harsh, but your car will be weighed for sure. Gotta beover 1530 gramswith transponder. Account for batteries losing a little weight too, they do as they lose charge, but only a tiny bit. Is it possible for you to remove some height off the spoiler if needed?

[kevsta]

Hmm… I’ve checked the height of the spoiler and it appears to be at roof height so I’m hoping it’ll be okay. It’s a hard plastic spoiler so it can’t be shortened.

I hope the scrutineering doesn’t go that far…

Other than that, is it bring your own pit table & chair and powerboard ?

[TallduDe]

well i cant make sunday to watch the races at brushfarm, i thought the stuff i had to do was on saturday not sunday, my bad.

btw daves you going to castel hill this friday night i might be able to go with you guys.

[dgs73]

TD; nah mate, we’re going to brush nut to get a little practice in… Kev; most definately, table and chair especially

[TallduDe]

i might joins ya it depends if they have a mini class.

i got my tb-02 fixed and i have spare parts now (lol) it depends but i will ring ya on friday or thursday to confirm if im going with ya.

havent been racing in ages i need my fix!

[mini-g]

Its a Red Wayne Kerr of a different type… Dakar Pajeo Evo :p

dont think it was on due to weather/?

im hoping to go this sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i finish werk at 12 i should be at the courts by 1pm.

fingers crossed

[dgs73]

yeah, none of us wound up going… it’seither been too wet, or too windy. On the other hand, the Overland track is growing in size every day, it now takes up 50% of the room when set up. TD; so when you getting your OL?

[Aaron]

LMAO…. Well if you makes you guys feel better the weather is crappy all over 🙂

[dgs73]

don’t get me wrong Pete, I don’t either. You up tonight? Dave & Josh are heading up, a 4th OL would be good… plus i’d like to see how many can be run at once on the track…

[peteWah]

I will be there…..Remember i am the Land Conservation Dude

[TallduDe]

looks like rain again for sunday!

hope not need to run my z’s hate the thought of them collecting dust.

[dgs73]

if things keep going the way they are thenI doubt we’ll be racing on Sunday… OL runs indooors it is then…

[Aaron]

I will be up on Sunday 🙂

100% set in concrete unless the car blows up (unlikely). I’m hoping to bring some thigns to show off:

1 x Steppy (StepFet)

1 x Blobby Cool (Blobby built onto a heatsink)

MI-02 Project chassis assuming I get a little further with the development of it besides just bling Alloy

A assortment of things for me to run 🙂

A couple of cartons of goodies like Pinions, bearings etc etc

its temporarily cleared up here, but at one stage more than half the backyard was under water!

could you get a pic (even if its from your phone camera) dave of the set up you use with the OL’s?

hope you get the clear weather for the weekend guys! wish i could be there!

[dgs73]

will post one up at morning tea dude… i’ve got one in my phone i’m sure… and Aaron has some good camara shots of three OLs and a Monster on the tracks too, so afew pics coming

[dgs73]

ok, I stand corrected… no pics in my phone, but will take a couple tonight and post em up in the morning. The set up is really only corrugated cardboard and gaff tape, with Z boxes etc. to prop it up for differing levels…

[TallduDe]

was a good day yesterday, sorry for bailing early but i had all my z’s acting up and i had to do that family thing which i was avoiding(if anyone asks i was at work not playing with z’s)

hey Aaron you got those pics up yet dude lol.

btw i think the steering on my MR02 is acting up, steering is not working at all….which suxs

[kevsta]

I had a good time as well. It makes a hell of a difference when the track comes out.

Unfortunately, I only brought the fet car and didn’t bring my toolbox, so I was running a 11 tooth pinion on the track. LOL

[Aaron]

OK Back attached to a PC today (spent yesterday tinkering with the 1:1) piucs shoudl turn up some time today.

So when you were at the lights with talldude, did you pull the hand brake up andpress the accelerator ?

I noticed that your rear wheels were spinning but you weren’t going anywhere…

[dgs73]

from the passenger seat, I can tell you there was no forward movement, but i swear it felt as though we were sliding sideways ever so slightly. I think everone at those lights saw wheelspin…

[Aaron]

It was a line lock… foot on brake pedal and about 3/4 throttle… then when the lights went green release brakes and well, nothing but traction problems.

We pretty much had no directional stability until we got to the other side of the intersection. It’s a good trait about the car though, it has avery obvious squirm but it doesn’t tend to fire off in random directions under power.

I couldn’t belive the howl from the Focus tyres 🙂 They sorta barked over the white lines 🙂

--
Site Owner Guy.

[TallduDe]

my car is a machine (yes handbrake kev) yeah it spins the wheels ezy but only on starts lol.

if i had my datto (which still is in pieces) i would of won lol.

should all meet up reguarly like.

[kevsta]

From behind it looks like both of you were about the sameoff the line and till stopping at the next set of lights with no one gaining. But I guess it was like only 100 metres or so.

TD, you got lsd in the focus right ?

[TallduDe]

no i dont man, if i had a better start i would of been in front of Aaron due to the fact that his beast was wheelspinning on 3/4 throtle!!!!! wat a beast he might need wider sticker tirers at the rear to prevent that in the future.

im not gonna mod the focus ive already got an airfliter and induction mod which has rasied the power output by 10kws so i got 106kw instead of 96kw (woohoo not!)

the next car i get will be turbo and awd in maybe 2 or 3 years i hope. (insurance is cheaper then)

so wheres these pics hint hint Aaron lol.

btw how much were those autoscales?

[dgs73]

oh, the OLs are mine (carbon bonnet), Mini G (Pajero again, no carbon), and PeteWah’s Evo Pajero… and that 350Z is mine if I saw that last page…

[Aaron]

Tryign to find a shot of yours that looked good. Of the 100 or so shots I’ve got actualy very few are what i consider ‘good enough’ – I’ts not right to blame the equipment but quite honestly taking R/C photos is really hard to get right 🙂

Attached is a pic showing the size of the court area. It also shows some of the other users of the area including the 1/10th Nitro runners diagonally opposite, the guy flying a kite/board thing around and all the little kids on bikes!

hey hey… still going to Tempe on Sunday, just cant decide if I wanna run stock, that’s all. If OLs are sold out at Hobbyco in two weeks, have a chat to Aaron. I’m sure he can help you out…

Yeah they’re being dumped in a few places around the globe and while $135 may not be attainable there’s some numbers very close.

There are heaps of overlanders in stock, I was only noticing the 4 outside the display cabinet. Inside the display cabinet, probably another 10 or so of them.

I won’t be getting one though. I bought the rc18t for offroading, and I’ve probably only used it 4 times in the past 6 months.

[dgs73]

different type of off-roading though Kev… RC18, MiniT, etc. are out door, OL is more indoor orientated… but of course this you knew… how is the 18 anyway? Why has’nt it had a run down the park yet?

[mini-g]

yeah i have been waiting to see it too….

The rc18t hasn’t had a run for months. Ikeep forgetting to bring it in the last minute rushout the door… to meadowbank. Got to writea reminder note next time.

You can get wheel adapters now that let you mount 1/10 touring car wheels on them now. Ithink the same adapter would work for a mini-t.

BTW… if you’re going down to tempe, they don’t run amb transponders but the KO ones which need to be powered by a wire coming from the receiver. In the last few meets, they didn’t bring any spares so it was manual lap counting for ppl that didn’t have one.

[peteWah]

Get an OL Kev,
You will drive it 4 times a week………
I know i do….And You cant drive the 18T in the house when its raining…..

As for the 18T, Next time you know you are going to come over this way > there is a offroad track at North Ryde you could try the car on……

So 1 could use there phone for split times if they had the option…..

Lap count Bit$h required…..

[dgs73]

hmmm. Dunno about this manual lap counting thing…

[kevsta]

I’ve been wanting to go to that North Ryde bleinheim (sp?) park to try out some of those jumps… As for the OL, it’s tempting for $129, but then if I get that, I’ll probably end up stocking every bloody part for it as well, like I’ve done with the mini-zs…

As for manual lap counting… its a number or colour tape is placed on your antenna and as it goes across the finish line, the computer dude presses a key to register your lap – which will be slower than actual, because lots of ppl are two finger typist and finding the key takes a few milliseconds…

[dgs73]

the North Ryde track is awesome, as sson as the servo is back in my mini t i’ll be back up there in a shot

[TallduDe]

looks like sunday will be a washout with the rate the weather is going around these parts, what a bummer.

but on a up note if you have batts charded the tempe track is open on tuesday night.

[dgs73]

might have to give it a miss… going to my parents on Tuesday night

[TallduDe]

well i misread dates its not on tonite anyway.

stupid weather why did it have to rain in the morning could of rained at night……..

anyways looks like im free this sunday anyone up for a bash at meadowbank?

ive got batts that need to be drained!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dgs73]

[TallduDe]

Dave’s,
Aaron did not send the goods with my car sorry…

[peteWah]

[mini-g]

yeah pete….seriously have a chill pill, i would have liked to have a run too but was out trying to find bargains for us all, which resulted in me spending fuel and time away from my family……. get over it.

[kevsta]

I had towork yesterday for 7 hours, and I do not get paid for it.

You wouldn’t Know Dave,
As you were Pissed as hell with you sister and company and cant recall the night…
But it was you who told me not to work before promptly kicking Mark and myself out,
Justin called me on Marks Phone 5 mins later after he had got back from dinner and i told him i was going racing because thats what i was told…..
We did not go racing like all 3 of us had been talking about so what up with that,

I feel I am allowed to complain about this…..

Now i will take the chill pill.

Don’t fuck with my time is all i ask, I cant be any clearer :smiley2:

Not payed thats your fault Kev and i wouldn’t

I could have done 7 hours of work payed

The weekend before last/Not just gone i got payed for 10 hours work.

So can 1 understand…..O N

Also, Go and have a look at the end of page 46 To current and it would also suggest that Racing was happening and that my chassis was coming back, SO with the exception of Kevsta who was working, Racing did sound highly likely….

Can we be a bit clearer Next Time THANKS :smiley2:

[mini-g]

If only it were that simple…what about all the other little details such as….

…blowing up countlessballoons until your jaw locks and tying them up to the walls with out bursting them.

…putting up ‘happy birthday’ decals everywhere…

…organising lollies and sweets take home bags.

…bottles of softdrink and ice in an eski…

…bbq setup and clean

…marinate meats for bbq & cook it.

…paper plates & utensils and cups + garbo bags everywhere

…finger food, chips, cheeses & dips

…birthday cake

…find additional entertainment when madagascar finishes…

…Lock the door to the RC room.

[mini-g]

kev…. we did all that last year, they will get some finger food, and will be doing pass the parcell, and musical chairs. maybe a treasure hunt. also jackson is getting a 4 in 1 hocky, pool, soccer table. cant think of the 4th thing it has. anyway the party will be only the standard 2 hours…… the movie takes up 86 mins….

hey ph2t LJRC okay!!!

any more news on a groupie order for those matts soon as we get them the sooner we can race in the shade LOL

[dgs73]

[TallduDe]

hey dave tell us how you go at the meett this sunday.

btw what classes you guys entering?

[dgs73]

on Sunday we’re both in 540, not sure what big Dave’s runningon the Saturday racing (different location and comp.; looks like my job of pit b***h is a given… unless I charge for my services… lol), but i’d guess stock

[mini-g]

yeah i will be running stock on saturday….same location diff comp.

running the new tamiya TA05 and all. dont expect to go too well.

[dgs73]

such optimism…

TA05 ? When did you get that ? Sounds like someone’s going to run TCS !

I wanted to go but the rules say no 27Mhz Futaba transmitters allowed..

[mini-g]

yeah not sure about tcs this year, i think 27 is now allowed

[mini-g]

well the TA-05 went great, second in the B final in stock at the winternats, 5th in the A final in 540 class at the club chalenge best i have done in any big on-road meets.

[kevsta]

That is impressive. Those meets are so competitive.

By the photos of the fairy meadow track, it looks very technical.

[TallduDe]

well done man!

do you offer lessons? hahahahahahahaha

[dgs73]

pretty fast, too… probably my favourite to race on so far… (btw, got 2nd in 540 C final… so about 22nd all up in 540 class… lol)

[kevsta]

Hey Big Dave, how heavy did the TA05 weigh in at ?

[mini-g]

1540 with GP3300’s and personal transponder.

[dgs73]

have you weighed it with the Sanyo 3000s in it? Sounds like you’d have to add 20gms to it to keep over legal weight…

[mini-g]

dont have 3000’s any moreonly GP3300’s for me

[TallduDe]

damn thats alriht, comes in lighter then the tank of a tb-02 that i got! hahahahaha

[peteWah]

Thats no suprise Mate :D:smiley2:

[mini-g]

pete…whats no suprise??????

TD, whats the TB-02 weigh in at???

[peteWah]

More than yours he reckons, Thats the no suprise…

Are you driving it tonight at the Castle :smiley2:

Edited by – peteWah on 05 August 2005 12:19:17

[peteWah]

I have a very fast Z to show you all this weekend to :p

Who is going to come for a trek to Meadowbank

Also i have to say although it says on the events calander that we are there each and every Sunday Its not the truth…

The nitro freaks on the other hand a there without fail Each Week…
All visitors welcome, Bring a R/C car and come have a look See :smiley2:

[TallduDe]

i put my tb-02 on the scales and it came in at 1638!!!!!

watta joke.

kevs came in at 1580ish?? he cut his wires and did some other stuff to put down weight.

this sunday i cant do got tempe racing they finailly got a 540 class runing on sundays. a few guys have had enuff of stock esp 1 guy who blew 2 stock motors worth 100 bucks each on the one weekend!!!

should be fun at least 6 of us in 540 hopefully i dont come in 6th place!!!!!!!!

[dgs73]

I might see what i’m up to this weekend, may be able to make it this time… oh, and damn you two have heavy 1/10s… lol

[kevsta]

Weighed it yesterday, now down to 1560 grams – I think that’s about as light as it will get, apart from getting titantium turn buckles and screws and drilling out the chassis as recommended by the tamiya handbook 2004.

Getting a base model and buying all the hop up options is a very expensive exercise. Next time I’m going for one of the top of the line chassis and be done with it.

[mini-g]

thats not too heavy!!!!

oh and finished 5th at the muchmore masters yesterday, qualified 6th. was a good day, lots of people and racing.

[TallduDe]

nice one dave.

i will be there this sunday at meadowbank . hopefully with an OL .

[peteWah]

My fetted car was doing 54kph with a Xspeed Pro and a very chewed up 10tp. Yes i said a 10, Atm i cant imagine any higher…
Now after saying that, I Cant wait to wind it up with Larger Pinnions :p

How i love my Pro motor :smiley2:

We need to start a new topic in the right section and you
1:10 guys need to start 1 in the non micro R/C section.

I say these 52 pages can go sit in the archives somewhere :dead::huh:

[dgs73]

general chatis the right section Pete… the topic is Sunday racing, and both Zs and 1/10s are down there on Sunday… these days more of the latter than the former too…

[mini-g]

but still he has a point…….

new thread started in non micro!!!!!!!!

Edited by – mini-g on 09 August 2005 09:09:19

[dgs73]

true, true… 50+ pages is alot to have to wade through…

[Aaron]

OK. Cutting the thread at 50 pages to make it readable 🙂

Start a new one up guys 🙂
