I dunno about motor can bearings – I know I can get them – but whether they’d be ‘worth’ getting I don’t know….

Well then he didn’t buy them from me becuase I’ve not gotten one e-mail requesting a swap. However I’m happy to take the discussion to PM.

Now on with the Fitment. The FETs used in the Mini-Z are the same as those used in the Xmod, well same pinout which is all you need. So simply follow the instructions for the xmod when it comes to how they get hooked up but use any of the threads here covering how the FETs are laid out on the Mini-Z boards.

If you don’t want to go down that path PM me and I’ll do a swap direct with you…

Or you could have got your mate to get in touch and swap them.

Take a look at this thread:

It covers the install of those FETs replacing the on-board type in Mini-Z and X-Mods…..

Pretty much a Betty.k says.

I’ve run a set in my orginal Mini-Z for over a year. No problems. They’re not dental drill ceramic bearings, but are proper metal shielded bearings of decent quality. Basically the same as any of the aftermarket ones around. The source company supplies a few of the aftermarket brands.

More details to come.

I’m afraid I can’t reveal that at the moment – can’t have the cat and the bag parting company.

We did Airmail on Monday (I still haven’t got all the monies yet BTW) – But thanks to Toyeast payment system not liking my CC and waiting for them to pass on Paypal details and confirmt he CC transaction didn’t work I only actually PayPal’d them last night, the order shoudl be in Piad status by now – so we should have it this time next week.

A few days later than I’d have preferred but *shrugs*

The price is what the ‘market will carry’… ie if people are buying them for that price 🙂

However I do think it may be a bit steep. Reminds me Jamie, you and I need to have a PM discusison about an idea of mine 😉

[Aaron]

Nah -I’ll just fight it out with Toyeast 😉 No-one pays more than once….

Still waiting for TE to get back to me to start sorting it all out….

BUT order 25xxx is in their system!

Sydney order has been placed. Typically TE stuffed up the CC transaction so we’ll see if I end up paying for it all three times over….

mocky – feel free to hand cash to dgs73. If I can I’ll make the order today (trying to find spare cash to cover you guys as it’s been a very expensive week) is a little hard though.

I still have my first ‘large’ R/C up at my parents place. A Radio Shack Mercedes Unimog. One day I’m going to bring it home from there and ‘moderise’ it a little.

It was picked up at Easter 😉 I see an iWaver transplant coming on one day!

OK here’s some thoughts.

Prepaid “Eating Package”
* Lunch on Saturday
* Dinner on Saturday Night
* Lunch on Sunday
Reason for prepay: We/You know where and when you’re going to get food, you know how much you’re paying and you’re certain to get a seat. Experience says otherwise people get stuffed around.

We’d also try to establish a “deal” with a hotel/motel for accomodation to keep everyone as a group. Reason? If we’re all in same place we can save time on running around.

If there’s enough car seats we may do a cruise out to the Deep Space tracking Station which is actually reasonably interesting and makes a good drive/lunching venue.

Still workign through date ideas…

THey’re supposed to be pretty good. Maybe not quite as good as a stock MR-01 Mini-Z outa the box but pretty damn good.

OK Current status of Syndey Order:
* 2x Iwaver CLK (Mocky/Aaron) AUD58.00 Each
* 2x Lightset (Mocky/Aaron) AUD9.36 Each
* 3x xSpeed (DGS73/PeteWah etc) AUD21.90 Each
* 2x Silver R34 shell (Aaron/Kevsta) AUD9.36 Each
* 1x Red Lancer Shell (Mocky) AUD9.36 Each
* 2x iWaver Kingpins (Mocky/Aaron) AUD3.60 Each
* 2x Knuckle/Rod sets (Aaron) AUD10.90 Each
* 1x H-Plate Set (dgs73) AUD13.25 Each
* 1x Ferrari 355 Red (Talldude) AUD9.36 Each
* 1x Ferrari 355 Yellow (Kevsta) AUD9.36 Each
* 1x iWaver Band1 (Talldude) AUD5.61 Each
* 1x Chrome bits (Talldude) AUD9.65 Each
* 1x Blue Screws (Talldude) AUD7.34 Each

Total comes to:

Mocky – AUD 80.32
Talldude – AUD 31.96
dgs73 – AUD 78.95 (all three xspeeds counted in one)
Aaron – AUD 102.12
Kevsta – AUD 18.72

Do we all like the look of those numbers? I think when I add it all up I come out with about AUD$5-6 buffer in my favour to cover credit card fees and some currency changes between now and final order. I kinda figure no-ones going to hassle over that.

Those prices are landed in Sydney
