    does it have a steering fet? and i’d say the easiest would be a stronger magnet like one of them rare earth jobbies. more coils sounds like trouble! also, i lubricate all moving steering parts with powdered graphite, and that helps a lot. if you don’t have graphite around just scrape some dust off a pencil lead, same stuff!:smiley2::8ball:

    that steering prob can be a pain. i just unwound a spring with thicker guage wire and made a new one. it looks terrible but works well. also the wheelbase lengthening helps stabilise the steering at speed.
    and yeah, what he said, DO IT DO IT DO IT!! maaate, it’s fully schick!!!:p:8ball:

    heh heh, i think we all have adjusted eye sight that can correct the refraction of light through a plastic window on a box!:D and in built mass spectrometers too determine the composition of tyres from a distance!:8ball:

    yes, i’ve had requests.:approve: just wanna get it right before sending anything out. but i certainly want others to try it, just like ph2t. as he quickly found out, big wheeled beasties add a whole new dimension to the hobby:D:8ball:

    nope, never. i was just cautious not to remove too much material around the transfer gear just in case it affected the gear mesh or something:8ball:

    ok here ya go matt,

    http://community.webshots.com/album/106094679KMdEPg

    as you can see, i’ve cut between the transfer gear hole and the pcb ‘wall’ downwards. then i go at a 45 degree angle towards the front, so it just cuts into the pcb wall. then i turn it upside down and cut straight down, through the charging plate til i meet up with the second cut:8ball:

    woo hoo!:pnow we’re talking! but i must add, you bastard! where’d you get them tyres? i’ve been looking for some good off road tyres every where. that should go really well with a longer wheelbase, springs and definately a stronger steering spring. as for the wheels, superglue? although it looks like that little baby has a lotta grunt so you’d have to use a lot. i’ll send you some spring plastic with my other mail tomorrow. can’t wait for the next exciting installment:smiley2::8ball:

    i had probs in the past but i’ve worked out how to do it now. don’t upload more than 3 or 4 pics at a time. when you’ve uploaded and entered your text and password, you’ll be taken back to your gallery page. if the new pics aren’t there hit refresh on your browser. still not there? click one of the photos in your gallery that you tried to up to and see what pic turns up. if it’s still not there then wait til you log on next and then check your gallery, then do the above steps again. let us know if it still doesn’t work:8ball:
