Have you checked the axles of the front wheels for lint or hair ? It doesn’t take much rubbish on the axle to start causing a problem with steering. Do both front wheels spin freely and spin the same amount ?
I have the Inital D setand I have changed the antenna on the car. I changed the factory antenna to a 120 mm dual twisted wire one fabricated from phone cable. Unfortunately, in my haste to start modding,I did not measure the range prior to the mod, but I currently get about 7.5 metres.
Ijust bought a 40MHz Skyline yesterday and, out of the box, it was getting 7.5 – 8 metres.
Both of these measurements are inside the house. I have yet to test it outside to see whether there is a difference or not.
Just went to Toys R Us at Miranda yesterday and picked up a Blue Skyline. They had about 20 or so left with a fair mix of all the models. They are not in the RC aisle but in the section with the video games, DVDs, etcnear the exit.
theres 3 heat sinks stock hs-2 black for displaceing heat hs3 and curved hs-5 also thers hs4 alum. and hs-4 blue coded. i picked black becouse black dissplaces heat better.
Yep – at one stage last night I saw wheels and motors under the Bit accessories, but no prices yet.
But… it is the 7th today…
What about the marvelous Nintendo Gamecube?
hey impreza whare at in canada are you? im lookin for people close to me im in michigan about 20 min from windsor. well im goin right now ta look at some K.I.T. racers and see if the heat sing is diff in any of um so i’ll let you know within the hour
i has ta add some weight to it but in my buss it make it into a missle. but for booster cars it hulls ass then when ya hit boost your gone.
sorry but thats not a supercharged 69 charger its blowen 440. at that show that green eclipse wasent from fast. and the fer. the fast and the fer. used a new 4g thats a stock 95 eclipse gts with a body kit and it has the wrong rims. noone of the cars on that pager are the real fast iand the fer. cars. becouse the hood on the supra was a wings west and in the pic that hood is a xeon aerodynamics.
there is no speed on the rs4 pro 2 becouse it has no eng. or electronics. but for $500 you could set up a nice car i recamend the jp xr 1 it runs $99 or a futaba pdf for about $150 a novak cyclone tc2 due to the diff. profiles for touring cars. about $130 and a trinty sport 2000 for about $40 and a trinty speed gems 14 turn quad. for about $25. tamaya cars are junk the dog bones make some much backlash your gonna gettin killed in the turns and laughed off the track. in america the top 20 cars were all tc3 schumacher losi hpi and kyosho. tamya is junk they still use gear diff’s the shocks are like a pogo stick. get the hpi
if money is a thing get the rtr tc3 racer its about $250 with out a batt but comes with a lrp esc a 19 turn reedy eng. painted bo ta40dy pro line tires and rims. a very good beginer set up. the car handels extremly well . takes off like a missle becouse everything is composit , composit mip cvds drive shaft ect. alot of hop ups out for this car. its worth takeing a look. 8 out of 10 racers in america use the tc3 the outhers use scumacher. but schumacher is harder to tune and coust more thats why they hardly use them. but rememebr you loos alot of speed in the turns and the only car that can take a tc3 in the turns so far is the schumacher mission carbon no outher car can touch it i seen the ta40 get its ass kicked by bolth cars and in the turns the tc3 holds the turn about 2 times faster than the ta40 as for my gay lil friend up there your f**king retarted theres no eng. or speed con. in either kits no good car comes with a eng. or esc so there is not
speed hell my pro 2 dident come with tires or rims. you suck ass for sayin the tamya is good they make —-.—- if you get a tamya your better off buyin a nikko or somthin. i raced onroad gas .15 and .21 i raced on road electric and off road gas.. i have the fastest car knowen the serpent vector 0-60 mph in 1.5 sec top speed of 90mph dont know with a well knowen name. the best car makers are schumacher corally hpi serpent.but most bang for the buck get the tc3 rtr its the same as the racers kit but gives you a lrp esc a reedy 19 turn pinon gear lynx by hitec radio and servo. and comes with either a proline stratus 300m bodys
lets look at this years modified touring
paul lemiux 1st, tq schumacher mission carbon
brian kinwald 2nd losi xxxs
david spashett 3rd tc3
and david june 32nd ta40 that was the first ta40 on the list out of 40 racers
but smbro go to http://www.rccaraction.com and look up the review on the tc3 and look at the race standing and see what racers use.
well done, that is a HUGE amount of traffic.:smiley4:
I just had a look at the Trading Direct site and the prices look good. They were selling mini-zs for $219.95 which isthe cheapest I’ve seen them. Unfortunately Idon’t think that the site is really ready to go yet. When i tried to look upbit-chargers and accessories all i got was a blank page. Hopefully the prices will be as goodfor the BCG as for the Mini-Zs. If they are them I’ll be giving them a go very soon (if they have theAutomodelista Set).
Thanks Panda – I sorted it! You were right, it was the controller all along! You see, I did have another 47MHz controller but the aerial was stuck in the wound position – I couldn’t pull the aerial out. So I thought ‘doesn’t really matter, I’ve got the 47MHz controller that came with the Supra anyhow’. After racking my brains trying to get the Supra’s range up, and after reading your post, I thought its got to be worth me fixing that faulty 47MHz controller. So I did! And hey presto – good range :smiley1:
Auto Modellista……Nice Choice. Been eyeing that set for a while now, and since I’ve heard it’s a booster set, I’m hooked!! C’mon Trading Direct!! All I need now is the Fairlady Booster set and the Initial D set, and from that point in, it’s body shells andparts for me (unless I can justify buying another bit, which is VERY easy for me!!).
As for Mini-Z’s, I’ll have a look at what Trading direct has to offer. I’ve seen one in action, and this thing was doing doughnuts on the carpet and drifting around doors and stuff, it looked sooooooo mad!! I thought right then that I gotta get one! Thanks toAaron for the demo!
Nice to meet a fellow Canberran. :smiley4:How about this weather we’ve been having? Droughts suck! :smiley6:
It’s not fast because I just put a X-speed motor in it.
hey,
i want to no why theirs not a range of all the different cars in wa(perth),
if their was a lot of compact char-g cars so try to get lots
ciao
Cool
DAM that is so much for a motor that like a whole bit
zbeam i used AFX spring but found them way tooo tight so i started to cut a little bit off the tops and soo on and soo on when they are about half the length of when you start they have very good turning makes a 2.6 handle on vanished sufaces (thank god) altrenitive you could just cut one spring in half to start with and then you could have more springs
Hehe thanks all for your replies, Pandabear: yes from the brief look I had at one of our major hobby shops up here Tamiya seems to be the way to go as far as parts etc. go. I might have to look up some local clubs though to see what they are using. As for my budget the Tamiya Calsonic GTR (TA40 somethinorother) that I looked at was $399 (complete kit) and I was told it was a new model from tamiya than a similar one i was looking at for $275. So yeah about 4-500 is my budget, so I’m hoping I can get a decent/competitive car for that price? I’m still really interested in the HPI stuff but they just don’t seem to be offered much up here in qld/brisbane, so i don’t know. Anyway PandaBear (and anyone else) any more experience/advice you can give me about Tamiya TA40/HPI Pro 3 (both seem to be similar in price) would be great, any comparisons on specs/speed etc would be great. I will be a “newbie” as far as this type of r/c goes but I’m looking to get pretty serious although at first the car will just be built up and enjoyed on a weekend, then I will advance the parts/engine etc, so i want something that can be customised on that front, and something with some decent speed 🙂 At the moment however it seems some sort of Tamiya TA40 varient is winning, thanks for your continuing help!
