Hey kids.
I was recently browsing the web and saw these and ****.
To think how far the world has come from the epochs and MR01s to this.

I will have to get one when the prices settle.

you can take the boy outta rc, but you can’t take the rc outta the boy!;) :8ball:

i wuz gunna say “pile o’ crap falcon” so therefore i win too!:D

on my workbench is nuthin’ right now. the closest thing is my same old mini z mr02 which i serviced heavily and i dropped in an atomic chilli evolution motor. on the tamiya speed checker it’s ballistic!!
on the track may be a different story! 😉 :8ball:

[betty.k]

add tyres = 50% cool factor! :8ball:

[betty.k]

yaknow, i still feel guilty about slicing your mr01 in half that time you came down here!:gatlin:

i’ll see what i got left in the shape of mr01 parts and get back to you :8ball:

[betty.k]

mini z is dead??? wash your mouth out you dirty little boy!!:gatlin:

don’t get any funny ideas, aaron is still the king around here and always will be. it’s just that some of us are thinking about elevating the ausmicro legacy and we rely on member feedback. you are the people that made this site, your input is valuable.

let me reiterate, i’m just asking this question as a matter of curiosity, don’t go thinking there are big changes ahead!

re: the shop. aaron offered this service to people as a courtesy, he had some great contacts in the rc world and wanted to share the booty with some aus people. he never thought of this as a money making venture. as it stands, the shop is currently closed. :8ball:

’69 KPGC10 GTR

too cute!

to solve your glitching probs (maybe), try soldering a capacitor across the motor terminals. i would personally start with one with “103” written on it. but try anything you have at hand first. motor terminals can be found in the attached pic. :8ball:

[betty.k]

one word….. perfection! :8ball:

i remember some of the police car minis had an led on the roof, my guess is that lead was for them. :8ball:

I was thinking of building a micro t or dt and I would love to bring it down… which do you guys think would be a better choice the micro t or the micro desert truck?

probably the micro t, the shorter wheelbase would suit track conditions better :8ball:

[betty.k]

yes, the site was down but seems like we’re back. :8ball:

[betty.k]

it’s definately hard to leave there without spending money!

i’ll be working on an epoch with lipo and a miniz pcb soon, got all the partsready.

i’ll try to get down there but it’s always a struggle to find the time :8ball:

[betty.k]

dude! that’s a helluva haul!

i would have had trouble buying any less! :8ball:

[betty.k]

i’ll be there, just a bit late as i’ll probably finish work at 6 :8ball:

[betty.k]

yeah well, we don’t have to worry about bears and cougars punching through the window!:D :8ball:

[betty.k]

awright, i’ll be there tonight with the little feller for some rock ’em sock ’em crash ’em bash ’em action!:smiley16: :8ball:

[betty.k]

not sure if i can make it this week, but i’m itching to get back there! :8ball:

is it possible to drift 2WD rc’s?

yes, but not easily. in fact it’s bloody hard!

Also can you buy petrol powered drift rc’s or is that a bit uncommon?

fairly uncommon for petrol drifters, petrol engines tend to be used on larger scale rc’s like 1:5 scale. but there are a few nitro drifters around. (nitro = nitro methane, 2 stroke engines) :8ball:

hey there big feller! nice to see you this side o’ the pond!

me personally is ok, but where my girlfriend lives is prime bushfire country.
on sunday she got the word that there was a fire 1 street away from her. she threw everything in the car and got the **** outta there! fortunately the fire was extinguished quickly and she has a home to go to.

but this is our worst ever bushfire season on record, at the present there are 170 people dead and most likely more to come. some of the areas decimated are places i’ve been, it’s kinda heartbreaking to know that there’s nothing but a pile of ash remaining. entire towns have been destroyed.

i know it’s hard to imagine over there but picture a sky full of fire, not smoke but fire. that’s the last thing most of those casualties saw.

we are putting together a bushfire fund at work, i suggest anyone that reads this do the same.

check this chit!


one of the amazing things is the people fighting the fires are members of the cfa (country fire authority).
they are all volunteers. mad props ladies and gentlemen :clap:

thanks for thinking of us dt:topstuff: :8ball:

[betty.k]

probably the only place to buy zz se’s is ebay. they are a discontinued model these days. :8ball:

[betty.k]

right now, my first choice would be buy stuff from renton. he’s got some tasty parts for sale and i guarantee they’d be cheaper than new:

as for comercial shops you can look at rcmart/dinball:
