my point exactly… would’nt mind if I only had one or two cars running, but having to do all of them…:angry:

[dgs73]

i’ll add to that if I may… the Autoscale Vodafone Merc. (new shape.) cheers…:D

[dgs73]

there’s only one or two haire on occaision Kev… because netball has been finished for ages. Hair only gets on/in the diff and wheel areas… that pvc crap gets EVERYWHERE

[dgs73]

was reading on a certain other forum that these controllers have a habit of “losing” their programmed settings… (amongst other little niggles) this btw is a Iwaver 04 controller i’m on about…. mzr.com for the curious… and I wanted to get one too. Their being made by Futaba was the icing on the cake… shame the cake turned out to be stale fruit cake.

Sorry dgs, Maybeeeeeeeee its time for you to get a cheap 1:10 just for the purpose as well
Or will it be sometime in the new year for you:smiley2: or not at all…:sad::evil::D:smiley2:

you know i’ve got other hobbies too Pete… they’ve been left on the backburner long enough. A 1/10 would see me ignoring my (lets be honest) more enjoyable pass times for another year
Dont get me wrong though guys!! I do love my little cars… also, Pete; you know I dont do thing by halves… it would not be a cheap one, and it would’nt be stock. Due to my being like this i’ve decided to give 1/10 a miss. We’ll see how things are looking by my birthday

mate I got into this hobby on the micro scale and that’s where i’ll be staying. So; not at all.

[dgs73]

z-beam; this place only located in Vic.? Might be worth the hassle getting a couple to practice spraying… btw, (off topic sorry) did you get those sunnies back ok? Hope so. CoSmO; they used to sell them on ebay when i first got into Zs… they were about 10-15usd depending on who was selling…

[dgs73]

use it wisely my friend…:smiley2: And i might try to get the Zers down and done by the time you 1/10ers show up… not runnnig through pvc dust AND dodging 1/10 missiles… PeteWah knows what i mean…:smiley2::D

[dgs73]

true… and that crap gets into everything… i found some in my servo box last night. Z servo box that is.:angry: Bugger that. It almost did

[dgs73]

and 18th scale Mini Ts… lol you guys got a portable 1/10 track eh? Cant wait to see it

[dgs73]

[dgs73]

we wont be down till next year Pete… gives you plenty of time to get the required cash together.

[dgs73]

those wheels look smaller than usual… rubber’s higher profile than usual too. Odd. Nice-as shell though… Weird that the exhaust is’nt chromed while all the other parts (roll bar, nudge bars,headlight surrounds, etc.) are… Still nice though.

[dgs73]

coolies… leave some stock for me!!!:D:smiley2:

[dgs73]

oh, MK; does that LHS of yours carry the spring sets for the oil shocks as well? It’s looking like i’ll be getting everything at once when I go out there…:D:approve:

[dgs73]

uh… no. Not me. Not going down the same road with this as i have with the Z’s. Stock plastic is the way this’ll stay… Not sure about MK though…:question:

[dgs73]

i got the Venom 6 cell pack myself… wait till you drop it in… i’m going to wait for the motor now, just gonna get a few more packs and the oil shocks. Faster motor can wait, me thinks… sliding it up the hall on the lino makes the most delicious sound too…

[dgs73]

added an 1100 mah nimh batt. pack to the mix last night, now we’ve got some speed happening! Straight out to the backyard (definately not enough room in the house now!:D), and let her rip. It’s good to see gravel hitting a fence a metre away from the rear of the thing. Still turns on a dime too…

I am one of em mate; I am new to this area of the hobby… good, good… wanted to make sure you need bearings through cvd… if in wheels the T wheels would provide grief, unless using 4 fronts… (not possible for awd, I know…) anyway, sorted:D

[dgs73]

and a Nelly, and a better motor…

[dgs73]

if your car has the same setup whel wise as a Mini T you should be right… I say this because you’re adding rear T wheels to all four corners… no space for bearings in there… of course though i’m assuming you know this, and further, propably don’t need them in the wheels at all. Thought this should be known before you do what you’re gonna do

[dgs73]

and i was looking forward to your showing up this weekend too… damn:D

[dgs73]

i might get one down the track as i said… but it’s not high on my list of priorities (hell, it’s only just on the list!) For the meantime it goes well enough for me…

do you do the anodizing on site dgs? or do you send it off to be coated?

i noticed lastnight that the blue alloy parts i own are three different shades of blue! dispicable! i fixed those blue rims i got too dave… they are totally silver now.

what is the colour range for anodizing, id like to see a graph or something similar… it would be totally worth the custom job to get all alloy parts coloured at the same time the same shade once you own them all.

put me down dave, im in for some colouring action! send me some info on the next time some is being done with the colour and whatnot…

the range is huge… about thirty colours (most variations of themself ie. light, mid, dark blue), in clear or bright anodised. Funnily enough Zbeam, the green will be either dark green, or lime. Too many colours to list, but different ones i like are red, dark green, black, and purple. (i know that last is available, but…) your first question; no, not in house, but very local. Yeah, i agree… it’s annoying to order blue parts from different places, and they all end up different shades. This should put a stop to that…
