    aww, shucks:blush: now don’t sell yourself short, that little monster flies offa those steps! more balls than a julian clary after party!:D and that one of ua’s was a single cell and keeping up with the dualies, even beating some! and that shell was fresh outta the box before the circlework session in the dirt!:shock:
    pics turned out great, can’t wait for more. make sure you post a pic of leon’s stability wings, ingeneous and simple (all the best mods are!) method of keeping those buggers upright.
    and yeah, what ua said. get something going, might take a couple of goes, but being face to face with fellow members is a great experience. everyone’s got different ideas, and ways of solving things. you don’t have to have all the tricked up parts, or fancy mods. if we all turned up with stock clones, we still woulda had a blast! so just post something like “i’m gunna be in the city on saturday, and i’ll be packin’ a bit!”, and see what happens:8ball:

    nice one! my controller would indicate charge even though i’ve never used the charging plate! i just popped it open, and while i don’t have the same prob as you, i did find a couple of dry solder joins and even a part where the copper has lifted off the pcb!!:shock: easy fixed, but i worry about the kiddies without the tools to fix these little glitches. i’ve got one coming as a gift for someone, and i’m going to have to give it a thorough inspection before handing it over:8ball:

    i’ve thought of that, but after experiencing my first fetted pcb i realise fets give plenty of juice, no need for more torque!:8ball:

    yeah, i’m not impressed with the ‘selective’ boost with enertec pcb’s. i recently got my first 2 speed (lxx) and i like being able to control the boost. i don’t use the enertec pcb’s any more as a result, which is a shame cos they have great range and i think they have quality transistors. i’m gonna try a tranny transplant with them but i wanna consult with ua and ph2t first. might start a new topic:8ball:

    and in answer to your question, this kinda loony toon!:approve: i knew they’d upset some anal purist!!:D:8ball:

    and don’t worry about the phone cam, that’s all i’ve got. every now and then i get access to a real digi cam and take lots of pics then, but we’d rather see crappy pics than no pics!:8ball:
