Aaron. Can you reply to this in Discussion, and use the byEmail at the bottom. You have my email address. We’ll see if that gets through, or have you tried that already?

They seem pretty cool as well. Maybe each year for Xmas I’ll get slightly bigger RC cars for the kids. So maybe next year will be MiniZs.

I’ve asked him for an online store URL, or a list of his available products. I’ll let you all know what I get back.

I didn’t get an email. I got your PM when I came in here, but not any emails at all. :dead:

Oh, hang on, Now I see a “Notied by Email” box on the left, and a “Notify this user” with by PM and by Email underneath the Reply box. I assume the ones under are for letting 1 person know about the post you’re sending, and the one on the left is if I want to be kept up to date by email of future posts on this discussion, yeah?

Pictures please.

… And I mentioned clips first damnit! I didn’t say aligator clips because I thought they may be a better type of clip that has more contact surface.

I’m not getting any. Hmmmm… I don’t mind the extra mail, it’s just a delete button form death, ya know.

I tick the Notified by Email box (I’ll do it now again just to prove a point… there, done.) I do have my email hidden in user profile, and I have the newsletter turned off. might they effect this?

I don’t mind the retro car. I think there’s a 50-50 chance it’ll convert well to BCG scale. That is to say that it will look cooler than the original car, and less 80’s dag, and more SciFi funky.

Where’s WCR again, what night and what times? I might bring the track along one night and gauge peoples reactions, check the number of Char-G racers, etc.

Best motor that I think would work on the track without constantly bouncing off the rails, or using them to turn would be a 1.6 engine, if you were way skilled. Otherwise 1.0’s, especially for the more technical areas. Mind you, with a boost car you can use a much bigger engine, do the corners on half speed, and use boost in the straights, or to use drift for tighter corners.

I’m contemplating opening it up to the public, as I need to recoup some of the costs in getting the cars here and building the track. I was thinking 50c per person per race, but that may be a really stupid idea. I don’t know if anyone wouldbother to show for that, and if it’s worth the money to do it. On the up side, every 40 racers I could buy a new engine, every 20 racers and I could get the material to start a new part of the track… But, are there enough people who would want to race on it anyway, or enough people that had Bits around to race on it.I’d probably find that after $3.50 I’d never see anyone again. I’m still deliberating.

I’m doing atrial run at work next friday. I’ll keep you informed, and try to get some video highlights.

That’s a pity. I was hoping to hear it’s a world of Clones with awesome bodies all going dirt cheap. Oh well. Dream on.

Up and Down can be fun too you know. 👿

I’d like to hear from someone who has done the mod where you can then hot-swap the mags afterwards. Who’s done it, and how?? Are there instructions somewhere?

Perhaps the two weaker springs idea then? Where’s a good weaker spring the right size come from? Floppy disk? Video tape? Hand made from the copper ends off guitar strings?

I read something on TinyRC about putting 2 steering springs in. One (or both) crossed over to even out the pull the springs have. Might be worth a go. Steering may suffer, but coming back to straight would benefit.

And advancement on this might be to make two weaker springs, and put them on crossed over. One L over R, one R over L. The weaker springs should total to the original spring power, and the dual springs would allow perfect straight lines (in theory).

I wonder if you could have 4 wire telegraph poles, with 3 wires running aroujd the track? Maybe some sort of clip to attach the normal controler arial to, so all 4 racers benefit form the wires. Hmmmm…. perhaps a white LED light on each the poles too, to act as street lights.

Everything except the rear on that Porsche looks great (I’m being super fussy here. It’s certainly 100 times better than anything I could hope to do woth a Bit body). A great job.

Not your Porsche Panda, you’re looks great. Nice shorts man.

Yeah. I’m having a lot of fun getting used to the booster car. Flying down the straights, and learning to do some very sharp turns by putting the foot down and getting a short burt of drift. Love it.

I think he’s talking on miniature telegraph poles, thus spreading the antenea for the controller around the whole track.

Not sure if that would distribute the transmission from the controller, or spread it out (and thus thin/weaken the signal).
