…sounds like fun…I have seen this post on other forums but I am PRETTY sure that AUSMICRO will have the pleasure of taking this one…Whaddya reckon boys? If anyhing comes of this I will do up a commerative tshirt making fun of the rest of the world…Would someone go and get Ph2T out of bed please 😀
…jingle bells batman smells robin flew away…
…nah i dont want to give away TOO many of my ‘custom’ ideas…I would love to show and tell but one must be patient…
…mesh the windows too…get some plastic garden netting and put THAT in your windows…looks HARD and STILL performs 🙂 and black rims brah…THATS what its all about…black rims…im loving it !!
…i second the mesh in the hood…black of course 😉
…i have a SQUARE one that let you fit 01 bodies onto an 02 chassis…its slightly longer..I dont think there are any at Mini Z racer…nope just looked and nothing there either…sounds like a DIY job…
…BTW i steal custom body ideas from HotWheels collections 😉
…dont forget the extended, low profile 015 chassis…but i reckon it would fit a regular 02 or even an 01 with a longer plate…no worries Z…I will pencil your name on the list 🙂 (kidding kidding…)
…to make matters worse ALREADY check this link out for the ever growing list od ADD-ONS we can spend our money on…
….wait a minute..you guys know ALL about the batmobile right…tell me you do already…
same battery case, same esc, same antenna, same crystal, same wheel nuts, same pillow balls; 4.8 and 5.8…umm…bearing sizes are different…rear axle is fatter, knuckles are fatter, rear gear box is different…the floppy bits that hold the front and rear to the battery case are diffrent…body mounts are different…dampers stays are BASICALLY the same but only one size on monster, scraping the bottom of the barrel now…um…the monster is cooler…COG feels lower but that MIGHT just be the body type…oil shox fit both…BASICALLY the Monster is a chunky OL but in reality they are quite differnt machines…Hope this helps some…
…i can get cleans now 🙂 They are all over the show…The dirty is definately a tricky one to get hold of…So will be the Limited Edition Batmobile when it arrives…
chrome…i really should mail you today sp we can catch up…typing now 😉
i have a slightly chipped one i can flow you 🙂 It’ll be in your next shipment..
…talldude…i added to this thread for you wth everything i know so far…
…so should i stock up on REAL monster parts now ? 🙂
…KO (which essentially IS Kyosho) will be doing the electronics…No i thought they would be working on something new and they might be but another opinion is that they will be putting an EXISTING servo in there…KO has quite a dinky one out now…its small and strong and will likely be perfectly suited to the offroad job that KYOSHO wants it to do…
…The 1100 battery isnt hugely popular here right now so im not sure where the power will come from…I have suggested elsewhere that this might be a market chance for SANYO to join the party but that is pure speculation…
..right now there are NO plans for a kit; RTR only…
…above all else we need to remember that KYOSHO is always slow…ALWAYS…and we need to know that AE is imported into Japan by YOKOMO who i can imagine wont stay quiet for long, although right now they are throwing everything they have at the drift sensation 🙂
…what if TAMIYA gets in on the 1:18 set with something other than the TLT? Hmm…one does wonder…
…More to come 🙂
…May as well revive this thread as its a good one…
…The Half 8 from KYOSHO…as most of us know its te 1:18 (or thereabouts) scale of the world-class Inferno MP777…
…Its EP…there is no doubt about that now so please dont hype on about how its GP…
…At this stage KYOSHO is saying early next year which we figured out to be about February BUT there is also a movement that says te car will be ‘officially’ unveiled / released at a show in Tokyo in May, and then physically on sale in time for the Japanese bonus season which would place it in about the start of June…
…Price at this stage is BETWEEN 18,000 JPY and 22,000 JPY…We can get any closer than that…This RRP correseponds to what was discovered on site at KYOSHO FRANCE 🙂
…KYOSHO has said they want it to be a PURE offroad machine…They are setting it up to race basically, building in as much of the throughbred Inferno family as they can…They have also said they want end-users to be able to use existing Inferno parts…now the difference in scale makes this a little difficult to swallow but thats whats been said so far…They have said they are going to focus on adjustability, just like its big brother…toe-in, camber, the whole deal…They will also be doing te TRADITIONAL colouring we have seen before and something else…
…they have said that this is the FIRST in a series of 1/18 units they are looking at doing…i will take THAT comment with a pinch of salt until something else shows up…
…DGS would you send me the outline of that bumper on a piece of paper the next time you send me something…it would be nice to have one on file 🙂 Dont forget the screw holes 🙂 I REALLY need to find someone local who can do carbon AND alloy…
…I vote for the 18T Kev 🙂 i got mine for $155 USD plus 40 USD shipping off the bay…A $200 USD unit so far…but the bills are adding up already lol…If its any consolation i will be using tower at some stage for some of te AE hopups…I need to try tower anyway to see what all the fauss is about…APPARENTLY tower is moving their shipping date for the 18T…Its getting later and later as more people are pre-post-ordering and the COMING units are being sold off…Be in quick…and get an AE and I can sell you more parts too 🙂
…thatsa much better idea…I have decided that carbon is all very well and nice but alloy is what matters for crappy drivers like me…Thats the mistake i first made with my Mini Z Monster…But not with the 18 scale…its chunky alloy all the way baby and f its underpowered then what the hey 🙂 Chuck something with more gas in it 🙂 Thats something i couldnt always do with the Z platform…
…Man i am SO good at what i do 🙂 Peace 😀
Nah its ok..they are a dime a dozen here…REALLY? That bumper fits your T? Thats a surprise because i thought it was for your 02…go figure…I have a GP 1100 arriving too…I might start making a couple of sets too just for giggles…BTW my 18 STILL isnt here…Its stuck in California..lol…
…betty NOICE find 🙂
…ok boys….keep going…chuck in all your giblets and spill the beans…BTW noone would like to express post their AA battery holder to me would they ? 😀
…you can PDF the manual from KYOSHO 🙂 Go to KYOSHO and somewhere in there is their downlaod page…Seek and ye shall find…
…The Half 8 is not moving very much right now…details later on when i have some time to sit down and attend to them…the RC18T ALSO has some issues but any new machine does…People are RAVING about the 18T but it does have its share of problems at this stage…But more on that later…
…my 18T is arriving soon i hope 🙁 Still not here yet…But i have lined up a GP 1100 pack, a new charger, a decent one, Deans Ultras all around and one set of mini T Street Meats, thats 4 REAR wheels, unfortunately in yellow because I didnt know they were eleasing white ones but no big problems…]
…Talldude i have to fill you in on the Half 8…
