Ok, some quick news.

Development on Nelly 1.3 has started. :p

Nelly 1.3 will be approx 10% – 20% more efficient than Nelly 1.2

Nelly 1.3 will also be SMALLER than the Nelly 1.2 turbo.

more to come……:smiley2:

:approve:

ph2t.

will it be mountable on the front then if it’s going to be smaller? Keen to get one eventually, but not if I cant run any shocks at all

[dgs73]

Mock; no that’s Pete mate… no offence Pete…:smiley2: Mock; the chassis by themselves are about $90usd or so. TD; we’ll help you get it off its shelf… Kev; you going to bring the Enzo again this weekend? Oh, and TD again; the track is sooo much closer to happening, been in contact with a certain person, looks like it will be a go…:approve:

[dgs73]

Kev; 18spoke, the same as what’s on the Mercs, but alloy… GPM I think. Will be in my toolbox on Sunday.

[dgs73]

oh come on… more of an ornamental thing, is’nt it? Would’nt be practical for working on them…

[dgs73]

can I answer this TD? Actually, i’ll leave it for you…:smiley2:
Kev; i remember them. They’re those nice smelling things that can empty a wallet faster than you can say “shoe sale”:clown:
appologies in advance for that one…:p

Did you have to dremel out the front wheel arches so that the wide offset wheels can actually turn without hitting the shell ?

Nice yellow paint job. I prefer pics of women baring all rather than skulls.

Kev; i’ve got a set of alloy rims made for 1st/2nd gen. Mercedes, they will(should) fit your car with no mods. Hows this; i’ll bring em with me this weekend, if they fit you can buy em if you want, or if not, no worries. If they dont fit without abit of dremel work, they are yours FREE. That’s how certain I am…:D

They don’t call the “jesus clips” for nothing 😉

You can also buy proper plier for handling them that reduces the loss factor to a much more sane rate 😉

A.

looks like another trip to Jaycar is in order…:smiley2:

[dgs73]

I use a 4mm allen key or similar to push it out of the rim… not sure if I like whaat it might be doing to them though. All this will stop once my other alloys get here…

[dgs73]

hmmm. ok, whatever…:question:
not many people yesterday, but I think it would’ve been accidents every 5 minutes. I’m now getting 49kph (motor’s not broken in yet!!! The possibilities…:D), and TD’s was getting 50kph… has to be seen to be believed. We actually made a young fella a tad upset, he and hit 1/10 hit the road 15 minutes after we arrived… :approve:

The whole car isn’t gonna last long

that was my view… the Mercs last a little longer than GTRs though… more stable too. (Like you said.) Not a bad job betty… very yellow though

[dgs73]

thats what I was going to say, Kev… the pic is MR-01, while the code is MR-02… notices Kyosho’s catalogue was like that for a bit while they had no MR-02 parts pics to put in. Double check the diff too, that does look likr the pic for MR-02…
z-beam; I got a Monster and two racers… what you need to know mate??:approve::smiley2:

[dgs73]

waaiting with open arms…:smiley2::D

[dgs73]

that is incredible… hehehe

Sorry dude should of quoted dave.

Im directing this at Dave…
In refrence to yourself and your car(iwaver) being at daves for 2 weeks in one of my posts I was just saying HELLO to you

Dave just wants to arrgue the fact, I ****ing know better….
Dave and i are not the best of friends ATM

if I did’nt have to carry you financially through life things’d be different.:dead:

[dgs73]

I was exagerating slightly when I said that they’ll spin for ten minutes… more like 2 or 3… still good though… I agree too Kev, not enjoying the task of removing bearings from plastic rims. Wont have to do that again as of this week though

[dgs73]

welcome to the forums… man they’ve got a heap on the way… those transmitters i’d like to know more about… enjoy your Iwaver too, you’ll find they are an insane amount of fun, even in limited space once control is 100% yours:D

[dgs73]

I might as well put what I do then… its already half here… overnight soak in turps, clean out in prepsol/low grade thinners (not for long if thinners!!!), dry, dremel. Install. Spin. Go to the shops, buy beer. Return, still spinning. Questions??:D

Has been for 2 weeks has it not:smiley2:

uh… not. Kev; got a stock diff of yours floating around, will chuck it in my parts kit ’till I see you next… ditto Geo, but with a turbo/motor combo…:p

[dgs73]

how did you run it “bare”? (I assume you mean not in the chassis.)

[dgs73]

Kev; give em a quick hit with a Dremel, about 8000-9000rpm… i think you know what i mean:smiley2:

[dgs73]

TD; you are still coming this Sunday, right? I got a redone Iwaver sitting at home for you too dood…:smiley2:

[dgs73]

Jamie and I have nutted this one out too… dry bearings are alot faster, but the trade off is lifetime of the bearings… plus they do seize up every now and then (at least mine do!), but easy to fix. All my other cars run factory greased bearings

[dgs73]

funny how the smallest parts fly off into the largest areas of grass/shag carpet/etc…

[dgs73]

those c-clips give me the utter s***s… my carpet in my room has eaten at least five of the little buggers… so easy to lose as they fly off when being removed:angry:
