TallDude, they’ll be along in a couple of months I belive.
Bugger about the QC, oh well what can we do? They are cheap.
A.

Site Owner Guy.TE have shipped the first part of the order, That is:
Mocky’s 02
Aaron’s 04
Takata’s 01 MZ
Takatas’s Static Kure NismoMain shipment is still to leave TE

Site Owner Guy.*laughs* Yeah we all want to know about the Tx….
Spare damper stays will be available from ausmicro.com shortly, still plastic but cheap fixes until we can get a reliable cheap supply of alloy versions.

Site Owner Guy.The link…
http://www.kyosho.com/promos/kyo-miniz-survey.html
..I think it will be great for ausmicro.com becuase local car fans may be drawn towards the hobby….

Site Owner Guy.Link at top of first post 😉

Site Owner Guy.So are you guys going to want to eh Alloy and Carbon stuff? like a complete new chassis?
A.
--
Site Owner Guy.Prolly about $170ish…. I should add ofcourse that the price above is all expenses paid landed in AU complete with a cut for ausmicro.com – the ‘cost’ price is lower but we gotta pay duty blah blah blah ….
A.

Site Owner Guy.Both orders now Paid for at my end, Payment for the first one has been accepted by TE and we should see the 02, 04 and 01 within a few days if they keep their delivery promise 😉
Still waiting for some cash, but am doing my best to get the stuff landed and out before Xmas!

Site Owner Guy.First coat of the base colour Lavender went down and thanks to the Tamiya paint frothing a little out of car I’ve had to do a lot of rubbing back. Planning to recoat the thing this weekend.

Site Owner Guy.Yeah we’re pretty bummed about it z-beam, but really no other alternative. We’ll do our best 😉 maybe do a live webcast from ausmicro.com central ?

Site Owner Guy.Nelly is still the ‘best’ option for outright performance, what I’m trying to provide are ideas and alternatives that are a little cheaper (or a lot cheaper in this case) that deliver a noticable performance boost over stock FETs with good durability to handle most off-the-shelf warm motors not some of the customer wound hybrids some peopel are using 😉
Obviously it does come down to testing, and as I’ve just placed my FET order for the month it’ll be Jan before this moves forward. Probably to be tested in a MZM/iWav04

Site Owner Guy.Dave your backyard _is_ offroad 😉 I still can’t belive we got the MX5 into it, and now we couldn’t becuase the cars 40mm lower!

Site Owner Guy.Kitsune – Only Softs I have left are a set with 2x Wide and 2x Narrow (ie a set for a car, not the usual 4x Rear) yours for $15 extra
A.

Site Owner Guy.For info, I have an IW04 coming in the group buy so we’ll see how well FET modding works on that board 😉
I belive the 02 type of chassis is vastly better than the 01 for handling…
So how does it rate against the X-Mods ph2t?
A.

Site Owner Guy.Power Tyres Foamies 😉

Site Owner Guy.Aaron’s & Kittys Plans: Shelved due to illness and fiscal poverty – As I’ve alluded to I’m feelign the pinch of multiple bills and a few other expenses.
Resolution: To step ausmicro.com up to version 3.0 and get the online store happening, and hopefully moving stock 😉
To get a little plan that BitHed and I have been working on together off the ground… YEAH BABY!
A.

Site Owner Guy.Doh! CoSmO! That’s cool we’ll get you your motor direct 😉
z-Beam – I know the feeling – I think CBA closed every branch outside Melb. 😉
--
Site Owner Guy.Just pay the “Stuff” side of it Kevsta. Assumign the exchange rate holds for a few days more we’ll be OK for postage 😉 Besides I think it’s only you and Mocky in Sydney getting stuff ….
Most of this bunch is going wide and far ie Qld, Northern NSW etc etc
A.
--
Site Owner Guy.Final totals are up on the first page….
A.

Site Owner Guy.Thanks! I’ll match that to a type in a second 🙂

Site Owner Guy.leonli17, the FETs are rated to 20v…. but it’s not about the voltage they’re switching, but the voltage level used to ‘trigger’ their switching.
If you were using 7.4v to trigger them you’d get a lower “on resistance” of about 0.05ohms down from about 0.062ish ohms
The SI4562DY I believe remain around the 0.06 ohm area but I’d have to check the datasheets again and can’t find my printed version at this instant….

Site Owner Guy.IRF7317 dude 🙂 7389 are the ‘old’ ones 😉

Site Owner Guy.OK guys I’ve queued two orders with TE (getting around the restriction on iWaver02, 04 availability) and there’s a couple of items that aren’t available at the moment, they’re basically the steering wheel sponge and the stainless antenna pack.
I am waiting for a definite answer from TE about these so deposit the full amount. I will refund if I can’t get the bits.
Essentially we have a few days to get the cash landed before I have to do the transfer to TE. So please please please do it sooner rather than later.
A.

Site Owner Guy.OK…
I’m declaring the opportunity to get in on the Group buy CLOSED.If everyone could make payment for their list of items ASAP. http://www.ausmicro.com/banking.asp has the details.
Thanks to the exchange rate (everyones price is calculated at the same exchange rate) being better than expected, and the buy getting up to a good size I’ll use any ‘extras’ to get faster shipping and pay for the shipping around the place. (ie z-beams, Jamie, etc etc)

Site Owner Guy.mocky, yes they’re functionally identical according to the spec sheets. They do have different characteristics when dealing with the lower drive voltage that mini-Z electronics provides but ultimately end up being the ‘same’ at the voltages measured by ph2t.
The advantges are:
The lower “on resistance” means that the FETs
– Don’t heat up as much.
– Run your motor a little harder (less wasted power in the FETs)They apparently have a better surge profile at first switch on two which makes them marginally more agreesive ‘off the line’.
The great this is the price we can do them for considering the performance. To me the USD2.00 seems to be where most others end up as a minimum and in all honesty there’s no need for them to be priced so high.
