Jamie. I m good man. Just reeeeealy busy at work, and at home, and with the band, and the kids…. Busy. How about you?
Talldude. No way man. Yours blows mine out of the water. I love the trees and other landscape features on yours. Makes it so much more realistic. I see you’re like me though, you like to get your eye down close to the track so it looks like the real thing. =o)
z-Beam, depends on the time I have left to do things. I don’t really have time to go through old posts that I miss, unless the heading really grabs me. Copperhead Canyon looks like it’s coming along nicely. Maybe PM me with the link once you have posted it, just in case.
It’s a bad idea to run BCGs on carpet. The fibres, dust, hairs, etc clog up the car pretty quickly. It’s like taking a skateboard on sand.

TallDude. Nice looking track Man.
I used MDF base, steel strapping for the barriers (wish I d used the plastic ones) because I could get them for free.
The Trackmaker program may have disappeared from the web. Not sure on that one. I found it hard to find for a friend a little while back. wasn’t where I downloaded it from a few years ago.
My main recommendation when making a track is to do your research. There’s a few great tracks out there with people descriptions of every thing they used. Here’s a few links for you (if they still work).
Got Skillz http://www.got-skillz.com/
And these guys used to make a new track one every month or so. Maybe a non permanent track is better?? http://www.diana.dti.ne.jp/%7Ekodama/bcgp01.html

Well, that’s enough out of me for another 9 months. Bye all.

Oh… A plug in charger for 4 cars at once, so everyone can receive an equally timed charge for races.
I acn’t see your shots in here, but I’ll have a look on WebShots… Looks great.
Yeah, the mystic madness paint is great, especially if it’s done well, with lots of thin coats.
Suspension front ends, ZZ mags with interchangeable rims on BCG wheels.
Decals – racing and the new street racing vinyl stuff
PCB boards thal look like a car interior.
Heya Kitty. =o)
z – I just notised you put your btcharge stuff in extreme sports too. heh-heh. I like the earth to water coastline look. Very nice. I look forward to photos of the speed bump and other new progress on the track.
It’s looking good. Send more shots when you have the whole thing complete. I like pit lane. very nice work.
Oh, DanyPrat, just put something under the clip like “By DaveF from AusMicro.com” To advertise this site a little more. Cheers.
It could be done, but why would you want one. I suppose it’s different strokes for different folks, but I’ve always found those things to make a car look rediculous and ugly.
We have 3 of them. the lights are a nice feature, the 2 speed is done differently to BCGs, but not completely without merit. One has a loose steering pnion, so it turns sharper one way, and sometimes turns of it’s own accord, but for novelty value, they’re not bad.
have you hosted the images on AusMicro yet, in the member gallery? I can never see the images on the MSN groups, and I’d love to see the track images.
Very nice work indeed.
Get the car to match, then post some more piccies.
Wild. I like it.
Looks brilliant. very nice work.
The wife is on the mend. She’ll never be completely cured, and all the bits of her the cut out have left her innards behave differently now, so there’s problems related to that too.
The kids have healed now or are just about healed.
I might be able to renovate more or drive the BCGs again soon.
Very cool.
Molto bene. Gli automobili saranno molto forti. Come state modellandoli?
… and for those of you without access to an Italian or Dictionary.com…
Very good. The cars will be very strong. How are you moulding them?
What about when you buy another car? Does it get the same level of mods? I assume as you’ve unlocked them it should at least be available to buy if you’ve earned the moolah.
Sure. Tassie people, PM me your phone numbers, and I’ll act as a medium. I’ll be on leave the entire time Aaron is down, and most likely I’ll be renovcating, so I doubt I’ll be too far from the phone…. unless the babe report at the beach is good. =o)
The shell looks good.
It couldn’t be proportional steering with only the keypad to control it. I’d assume the 4 and 6 keys are left and right, or something like that anyway.Yeah, there’s heaps of family pubs (anywhere that does a counter meal allows under18s in the company of adults, as long as the kids don’t drink or smoke).
The Taste of Tas is probably the best spot for a time to catch up during those dates. about 100 food and drink booths and all on the waterfont, with live bands and other music, buskers, etc. Good spot to spend half a day regardless.
I’ve sent you my details, haven’t I Aaron?
Played N4S on the weekend. looks good. very Fast&Furious graphics effects when driving at speed. I can see it getting really boring when you get to the end of the races. It’s all a bi the same after a while.
Can you have more than one car at once?
And when you trade cars, do you keep all the mods?nice work Betty.
