Thanks man. It’s not an important date to put in there reeeeeeally, I just thought it’d be nice to add it in seeing as it’s there. I’d keep the Events scripting at the end of your (no doubt) huse list of things to do. Thanks anyway man.

They must spend weeks doing those shells. There’s a pretty good how to in there on the Lancia rally car (Is it a Lancia? Yeah, I think so). Talk about going to some effort.

They hold what seems to be monthly Grand Prix competitions. View with something like Babelfish.

Great mods they do. Seems they’ve gotten to the point where you can only race if you have a hand made body.

Worth a look for the print and cut out grand stands, pits, barriers, etc.

Well 1/4 is smaller than 1/3. It’s a maths thing – it’s just how thrids and quarters work.

I believe the battery in a Char-G is custom built for TOMY and is still a fraction larger than a 1/3AAA – something like a 3/8AAA or something like that.

If you’re going to buy a new battery, try taking the battery and the car into the battery shop to get a best fit.

Haven’t finished the starters lights yet. Haven’t really had the motivation since we’re racing already, but as I have all the parts I should get into it soon.

Yeah, some huys with too much time on their hands (don’t we all wish we were like that). Some very clever mods in there.

Sounds like good fun. I’m still getting the hang of drift driving in these little cars. It’s almost needed to make it round the really technical part of my track with a larger motor. trying with my 2.2 and 3.0 motors in the booster cars, so I can fang on the juice.

Cool. You could buy all the spare/replacement bits cheaper than a new bit by the sounds of it. I wonder what a replacement booster controller and car cost?

Has the hovercraft been completed? I know the bloke started it, but last I read he had to stop for Uni exams. There’s people trying to do a helecopter too I believe. there’s certainly MiniZ scale motors being used in helecopters, but man are they expensive.

Mine ran like a dog pretty much fresh out of the box. Shouldn’t need lubing really. Might sacrifice it to see how it runs. or, I could have someone who buys the Aussie one take it back in theirs and say theirs runs like a pig, so they get a new one. Tadaa! Naughty, but at least TOMY get their dud motor back.

Aaron, yeah. Only the ones that end in /58. Sorry man. I just used the Url that was in my profile when I first went in there on the new site. Seems it had been truncated. I notice the signature is now part of the message, and not updated in the posts after the profile is changed like the Avatars did (and still do).

Sounds good Shypo.

Yeah, makes sence to do it that way incase there’s a shipping holdup. Hey, I don’t think I got an email to let me know there had been an addition to this Discussion.

Ooh. I wonder for how much. I’ll have a look.
Hmmm they certainly have improved their range.
Can’t see the PullBacks listed yet. Someone let me know when they come in please. I’m keen to get a few.

QFM have a schematic for a charger, but it really depends on what batteries you have in there. Call Battery World in Aus and tell them what batteries you have to charge, and ask what’s specs for a charger to use to recharge them at the fastest rate. Then you’ll know for sure.

Not off the top of my head. What’s in a Char-G already is a 1/3 AAA 50mah NiMH battery. The best upgrade they can sell is a 1/3 AAA 130mah battery (so they told me), but I hear that 150mah is out there somewhere.

Some new photo’s of the track off the same link in my sig. Still more photo’s to do over the weekend, and a race video this maybe weekend, or next.

Any luck with race start sounds off those PSX or PC motor racing games people?

People sell those batteries on eBay for about $4 US each, with $1 US shipping. Battery World in Aus sells them for about $5 each, and they have shops Aus wide.

Thanks VB. Any wiser on the Rare earth magnets?
