Guess I was lucky… my iron came ex my previous employment…. interchangeable tips (I mostly use the micro tip for fine work), 240v, nice power, plus a bonus roll of fine solder… oh yeah, and all my ex tools 😉
Got to get around to swapping to my largest tip and trying battery pack building/maintenance… or just ‘borrow’ the old man’s “Big as your arm” super iron… man, that thing is almost as old as I am!!! Almost as big too 😉

I was lucky I guess that my Dad was interested in electronics, so I was butchering kits at an early age… 12 or 13 or so. By about 18 I was able to build most things, and then I turned down Electrical Engineering at Uni and TAFE to work for Telstra full-time. I also did some TAFE part-time to work on some more electronics.
Now I’m in my 30’s, I’m confident to work on pretty much any small kit, except for surface-mount stuff. Have built my own ESC, rebuilt and rewired radio gear, all that sort of thing.
What would I suggest for you? Maybe try “Talking Electronics”, they were always a good magazine for building kits, and thus learning about electronics… http://www.talkingelectronics.com/ … or you could try the FunWay series of books from Dick Smith, they start fairly basic and work their way up. Oh, and practice practice practice! Buy a kit or two, and make sure you have a nice small bit for your soldering iron. Then practice some more 😉
Good luck mate!

Thank you for the welcome. I know the above wasn’t much of an intro post, but I just had to post my success!
Hello all, Gfunk here from across the pond. I just wanted to say I’ve found that ALOT of lego tires seem to mount very well to most of the racer wheels. One in particular, is the soft-rubbery off-road wheels that are pretty new, the same ones that arch2b put on his Hummer OL. Anyway, if you put a pair of these babies on either semi-wides or wides on a Z, you can do some decent off-roadage, such as being able to drive on most dirt surfaces and brick walkways, ect. It also allows for greater ground clearance, more stability (with the tires being wider than usual) and a greater amount of things you can now go over, such as large power cords or rugs around the house. Being real soft rubber, they even work great on slick surfaces! Just a little suggestion of another Lego tire that I can say works great with personal experience.
Cool, I’ll be in… bring the Mini again (Panda, need that screw!!!), and the tourer, hopefully have some better batteries by them… and a Mini body painted!!!

Quote:Shame to see it happen – but some clown has taken down/hacked tinyrc.com. The team over there are restoring from backups, but as is always the case the biggest problem is the ‘annoyance factor’.Here’s hoping we see Tiny R/C up again shortly, and the culprit gets hit by a bus.

Thanks Guys! 🙂

Remember in the 90’s when the Russian power company dissconected the power to the nuclear sub pens(reactor cooling) because the government did’nt pay its bill,only the use of the military restored the power hours before meltdown.I know they had more than 14 subs drydocked at one stage.It makes you think how powerfull the mighty Dollar is !!!! Pay your bill or we all die !! I thought the Tax man was Bad !!
Quote:well the parent company Takara make pullback cars called Choro-Q’s, which resemble the bodies on Digi-Q’s, alot of the cars you mentioned are out in Choro-Q form, it is possible to mod the chasis’s so they can fit on the Digi-Q’s, there is an s13, s15, r32, mx5, s2k, soarer, rx-7 series 1,4,5 and a prelude the older version in Choro-Q form. So if your serious, you’ll learn how to mod the chasis.Interesting. How complicated is it to modify the Choro-Q’s to fit a digi-Q? Is there a tutorial for it online? (I’m sure I could find one if I looked ):smiley2: And where can you buy them online?
This opens up another whole list of possibilities. Thank you, ms char-ged. 🙂
If you have it on the charger and it says it’s charging, then you press on one of the buttons and there’s no response to the controller (the fron should turn or the rear should spin while on the charger), I would think there’s something wrong with connection tabs under the car. I have had problems where the metal tabs under the car were pushed foward just slightly and so the car never charged right. Try using a small screwdriver or something to push them all the way toward the rear of the car. Also, use a small eraser to clean these tabs off if you see some residue building up on them.
dracer07 try turning the controller on befor you put the car on
this happened to me too thats what fixed it for mevery, very nice brendan. i use the same spray paint as well its good stuff, great paint job.
woohoo! happy birthday everyone
