Got these onto the car now. Seems to have stiffened up the steering response a litle compared with the plastic. However my car didn’t steer that well since the front end split 😉
They’re available in PN Orange, PN Blue (Pictured) and Raw Alloy.
I’ve got some stock (but not much) and will have prices etc today.

Site Owner Guy.Nice looking car Ken 🙂
I think the best Unis will be the Kyosho for a while – It seems everything else that came out real quick isn’t the greatest. I expect PN to come out with some – but they will probably only release when they have it ‘right’.
The attached pics show the top side of the damage, the phone camera couldn’t pic up the spidering cracks all through the front corner. So much so the front diff can wobble.

Site Owner Guy.And the Pic attached….

Site Owner Guy.Got a pic of a couple. Will post tomorrow.
BUT on the top side of the board close to the steering end look for “ANT” printed next to a pair of inductors near the xtal socket legs.
That point is the ANTenna one.
The pics will make more sense.

Site Owner Guy.Well – Officially I’d like to say that I’ve written off the chassis of my MA-010. That plastics problems mentioned early have now devoped to a stage where the entire front corner of the chassis is crumbling apart.
Now there’s no doubt my combination of drifting at full throttle into solid objects and generally crap driving have caused the problem, however thanks to the more brittle plastic used for the MA-010 it’s pretty much trashed.
I have installed the new PN Racing diff top covers (front and rear) and have to say they’re a very impressive bit of gear. Very light and magic to look at.
Pics tomorrow.

Site Owner Guy.No twitchy steering, bent motor caps. I did install a power cap like ph2t did and got a little extra punch off the line – but also got massive run-away problems.
Didn’t bother changing xtals to work out if the kid a couple doors down was stuffing around with his 1/10th gear.
I can’t remember the wheel choices I made – they won’t be dish wheels though – if you want dish wheels the new PN dish sets (plastic) would be a great idea 😉 Unless you want mirror polish finish?
As I’m heading out of town from the 10th through to the 27th of Feb I’m tryign to limit stock in transit, so didn’t make a large order.

Site Owner Guy.I’m running a off-the-shelf PN motor in mine, they’re the same motors but the capacitors are bent around on the AWD setups. Easy enough to change over or bend (as I did).

Site Owner Guy.As Ken says Whitebodies are out for pretty much everything. Kyosho has never released anything on my list except the two Subarus and two different lancers.
I just think it’d be nice to have cars that matched the AWD, but were also “new” bodies not the older ones re-released.

Site Owner Guy.Attached Pics is fixed (Zone Alarm at your end) weird proggy that one.
The PM pop ups annoyed me so I turned them off… I’ll have a poke at that bit and see what’s goign on…

Site Owner Guy.It’s an “X2” Hyundai Excel (X2 being the model designation) I think everywhere except Australia they were called Accents

Site Owner Guy.Yeah a Readyset (only I can get them) would run to about USD220 at your door.
“cheap” if you want the complete readyset for it’s rarity, but still a lot of cash.

Site Owner Guy.I think even Talldudes Focus has a chance against that one 😉

Site Owner Guy.iWavers are great to get an entry level into the hobby. Once you’re in and start modding then you will drift towards Kyosho for core parts like electronics and stuff – but honestly when you’re replacing a lot of the bits with hop-ups a iWaver or Kyosho is not differentiated by much.
Unless you know you have plenty of empty flat space a Overland on Monster style is better. They’re a bit top heavy but great fun to bounce around over stuff..

Site Owner Guy.I can still get those “Dirty” Interceptor ReadySets. No Autoscales aroudn though.
As for cost – you’r nuts may be safe but it’d be heading around AWD money.

Battery Heatsink from iWaverPN Racing 800MaH batteries

Site Owner Guy.I’m starting to get a bit tired of Skylines. 😉 Perhaps doing a different AWD car (Subaru, Lancer, Atenza MPS, Lancia Delta, Audi etc etc) would be a good move.
Still more is good overall.

Site Owner Guy.950 users to go!
This is going to take ‘some’ time 🙂 I can’t give away the secret to keeping Betty.K under control – well if I did I’d have to kill you 😉

Site Owner Guy.Nah – I do it all – we have a couple of Moderators – but becuase have a mature and relaxed community we don’t need to actually moderate anything 😉
As for Admin – Kitty does occasionally help out – but on the whole it’s just me..

Site Owner Guy.Things seem to be going along well.
I’ve now imported everything. BUT I still need to manually merge 1002 (yes one thousand and two) users then remove the duplicates etc.Takes about 1 minute per user. What I have done is do the top posters and the most recent posters so you’ll only see the “imported_” names in older stuff.
We’re getting there!

Site Owner Guy.That’s just plain freaky…
So what exactly was so bad about the BDO? Just a crap lineup? Or an average line-up that couldn’t perform for shit?
A.

Site Owner Guy.That’s impressive. Totally excellent Job!
You should start popping a few of these into the Gallery 😉
