  The breakdown ($$)
  
  -iWaver Skyline shell, (you think I m gonna trash an autoscale shell?)
  -GPM Alloy bulkhead
  -GPM s/steel kingpins
  -TOPCAD alloy rims set, 8.5mm(front) + 11mm(rear)
  -KYOSHO 40deg flat tyre set, normal and wide widths(front + rear)
  -GPM alloy 1st servo gear
  -3Racing delrin 2nd & 3rd servo gears
  -TOPCAD alloy wheelnuts
  -TOPCAD CF H-Plate (medium)
  -Bearings(Unknown brand)
  -3Racing rear damper
  -PN Racing modified motor mount
  -GPM Ball Diff
  -Nelly 1.2 Turbo
  -Motor
  -Tamiya Ultra Dash armature(not modified)
  -Ball Bearing can
  -Ultra Dash ferrite magnets
  -Ultra Dash metal brushes
  
  With a 9tooth pinion she will hit 40kph on the tamiya speed checker.
  
  Yeah!

  Just awesome….Since you upgraded the handling, ya think you can go for more speed upgrades now? I.E., 12/14 tooth pinion, lithium batteries….And why have you chosen the Ultra Dash armature and not the Plasma Dash?
  
  Just awesome man….. But it’s weird how that thing hits ONLY 40 KPH…..I’d think that for kilometers, it’d be at least 60-70 kph with the setup you have! 😯

  hahaha….seriously though, that is one sexy chassis….lol…betty, how many kilometers/miles per hour does that pet beast of yours hit on the speed checker? And what’s that motor you’re running in there? (how many turns, what kinda mags, blah blah :D)

  You know guys, we should rig up a timetrap
  and run a mZ drag comp sometime… 🙂
  
  Who’s good with opto electronics?

  I working on it wills. a $1 laser pointer, a LDR and a transistor can be coupled with a cheap a$$ stopwatch, if you get what I mean……

  yeh not to hard 2 build.. even i can do it.. dont LDRs have a small delay so you should use photo trnasistors???? or am i backwards

  “Christmas Tree” count-down lights, usually 2 red then 2 yellow then green. :smiley16:

  I wish i still had my Z… i’d own you all!!
  
  I was thinking along the same lines, a cheap stopwatch, just replace the button contacts with an optical circuit…

  a pair of melbourne market lasers, stop watches, and some jaycar components, shouldn’t cost anything over $25

  Pretty neat effort!
  
  translated:
  
  St?ckliste f?r the circuit:
  LED
  -68 ohms resistance
  -4.7 K ohm resistance
  Transistor BC548A
  -50 K ohms of potentiometers
  Photoresistor
  And the all 2 times, because one needs two circuits.
  Both circuits m?ssen with the contacts of the clock to be connected.

  yeah, that’s what I’m basing my circuit on. I was also thinking that you could put several light beams clost to each other and get an actual acceleration curve out of the data collected. Now that would be (nerdy) cool!

  If you could time how long the transistor is ‘on’ (beam interrupted) and you’d know how long the car is, you could deciper HOW FAST the car is going from each & every light-beam setup.
  
  Yeah you’re right. This has gone from cool to geeky. :clown:

  while you’re at it make it weigh the cars. and a barcode reader. and i want a freshly pulled coffee at the finish line. can i hook up my dryer to it?:D:8ball:
