I have made a BCG soccer set, with a feild and goals, its heeps fun! just use a small marble, tried a bouncy ball, but that was silly! Good to hear that im not the oldest BCG person out there, im far from it!:approve:Bap Bap Bap
yeah double charging is fine, just dont like go crazy with charging. have you checked that your pinion gear is secured in? because once mine wasn’t and it made that gear attatched to the chassis wobble around and that made the car go better.

Do you have a toyworld around where you live?
They didnt have any bcg’s when i went there but they had about 70 cyclona’s which i could not believe, seeing so many colours and frequencies! only for $30 each, all different colour rims and everything, i might just get these from now on, keep busting up parts on my bcg’s!Bap Bap Bap
How does your battery (in the car) have you ever replaced it? why are you getting 2.2’s? i would have gone for a 2.6, more fun! i have never had trouble with motors, generaly my batteries die from over charging or from stuffing them up with soldering!

Motors can rev high as there’s no reciprocating parts, its just a balanced spinning axle vs a piston engine whose bits move up/down. Double the rotational speed and it becomes 4X the forces on the crank/conrod/gudgeon-pin/piston.
That’s free running RPMs anyway… when the motor is unloaded.

cool, do you know what your oppositions cars are like?

2 days usually, if the parts are in stock, but email them, they take like half an hout to get back to you.

is it your track that you guys are racing on? if not, look for bumps to avoid, slippery surfaces, make sure no foreign substances on your tires!
i used graphite powder on my gears once, and this got on my tires, didnt clean them off. boy did i have a fun race with my mates!Bap Bap Bap
havent weighed it yet, probably as light as a bcg with out the battery and without the shell,
can anyone reccomend a good prop to use? i used one of my old aeroflight balsa rubber band type ones, too heavy, so i trimmed it down, and now i stuffed it!
Bap Bap Bap
Lol, thanks guys, i stuffed an axle, DOH! got it all over the gear, so the wheels go 1/2 a turn then jam. Might have to make another visit to trading direct!
Bap Bap Bap
I like the sound of that! itd be quite fun to build and to race it.

The plane is finished!
I have to seriously redesign it, prop is to big, it dosent want to fly upwards and steering doesent half work, as the hinges were to heavy. Also having range problems as i have to chase it around the stadium when it gets going!Bap Bap Bap
Quote:i rekon a plane, a hovercraft and a sub would all be awesome:p. anynone made a boat?Yeah, the boad would be sick! but finding a good prop and shaft would be hard, would be interesting to use it in windy conditions!

yeahi was thingking about doing a wheel mod a couple of weeks ago, using coin racer wheels, they have the most stickiest rubber, but i might just get some new axles, so my bcg’s wont be gathering dust if i stuff it up.

tired that pandabear, couldnt find sand with small enough grit, it just made it like a rally track! entertaining but impractical, unless i got sand from fraser island, which is ultra fine!
Bap Bap Bap
DGS, i have used bot sand paper and blackboard paint on my track, i find that using sand paper on things like hairpins and sharp corners is good and paint on straights and long corners, i have done one track in sp, its good, but gets to easy after you get better at driving them,:)
Bap Bap Bap
Hi! Try KIT racers at toyworld/kmart for the motors and batteries, i found that for hairpins, using realy fine sand paper would work wonders, if glued to the track.

This weekend i set up a basic mess around track for ma and me mates, i had a large piece of cardboard, bout 6 X 4 feet. I had half of it on about 15 deg angle (going from flat to down)- if you know what i mean, then i had a long corner on this downslope with some cooking oil, once the oil soaked in i was able to do some very nice four wheel drifting, and the car wouldnt do a full spin (after a few hours of practice)which made racing very fun! but might need a new set of tyres now as the cars just like to spin on anything with oils soaked into the rubber! I also had a hill climb event going, which was cool, increasint the angle and amount of oil as we went, It sure beat watching the cricket this weekend!

Hmm, I think it could be because of the motor, i have a BCG with a 3.0 and a BCG with some crazy nano racer motor in it, when you stop with the 3.0 it instantly stops and with the nano racer it rolls for a little bit, even when stopping on a hill (on my track) the car rolls back.

True that! especialy when you have a boring dinner date or something like that, you can just whip it out of your pocket and play around the table in the middle of a restraunt without creating any disturbance, apart from kids with their eager eyes and their dads giving you strange looks!
