looks like its gonna be a newcomer to whip both of you…:smiley2:
time will tell!!:approve::approve:well here’s someone who’s keen…:approve:
i’ll be in that… train is the go, GT-ahh…
Yo, Charg-o!! You still around?! Another blader in the mix… Wanna meet somewhere previous??
Ditto GT-ahh…nice one, cheers Barrelll:smiley2:
Im pretty certain that was a typo, wasn’t that meant to read shirts?? Tho cargos would be good,
come with ready made Bit pockets…
:smiley2:dgs is back again… DaveF, your 1/6 A4 size, you mean approx 100mm long, yeah? As mentioned before, can do stickers, logo as seen at top of page, MINUS the Lancer. Prices posted for 100, 200,& 500 posted tommorrow…:D:D:D
depends on how often you reply 4 or 5 times to your own posts Shypo… at the going rate i’d estimate 24 – 48 hrs!!:smiley2:
took a while for me to reply… live in Ryde, ie. nowhere near the beaches, Nth or Sth… about 3/4 hour drive to Manly. You work out tha way too, or just live there?? Should organise a race some time!!!:smiley2:
Like DaveF, have done the Ausmicro logo for my (now nearly complete!!) track too, v. easy to do, 10 mins. from PC to vinyl cutter. Working on Bit sized ones now, approx. 12mm long…
What about light grey polo shirt?? Goes well with most colours, plus wont “drown out” the colours in the logo… just a thought:smiley2:im thinking you mean the printed type… no go, im afraid. Other stickers though, no prob!!
Detail permitting, of course. But can do runs of them…
A stubbie holder!!! Yes!! This just gets better and better…What about keyrings too?? Being in signage could prove usefull to y’all… Vinyl(stickers),engraved/cut-out metal/laminates, plus…
T-shirts!!! If this is a help, let me know. Rushn clothing (you familiar?) are literally above our workshop, and get us to do their logos for screenprinting alot. Logos are layed out using CasMate, the logo at the top of this site easy as, not sure about the car though…
Your thoughts??
go to http://www.designedcraft.com.au if you want to find out more, or email me on that address…
dgs73 / Dave:pvoting was hard; so many choices!! Definately stickers and t-shirt, even a mug… custom bag is a good idea too
Thanks Barrelll, will pester em now!! Are they a standard set or is it a booster thing?
I agree with Shypo and Craz on this one… ive been choping little bita at a time of my AFX springs, and found 3 rings removed doesnt affect steering, but did tighten the cars turning circle. Thing is now, ive got to put the springs in my Compact, as i did the mod on a Cyclona… doh!!
Maybe the steering magnet has shifted to one side in its housing.
And where is everyone getting Fairlady Zs from?? Must be ordering online… I want one!!
My GTR makes a similar grinding noise to the one you guys described,
and I located the source of the problem (on my car, anyway.) It seems
to be caused by the pinion on the motor, which happens to be out of a
Cyclona… The pinion is a tiny bit smaller than the Tomy one, so everything seems to move a little more freely, but with that grinding noise. Makes up for it with speed thoughSydney… anyone else close by??
Time to up the average… 30 years young and still going. Do tend to get some odd looks when purchasing parts, etc. but im having fun… and this technology wasnt around when we were younger, making the appeal that bit greater (for me, anyway!!)
By the way, ‘Playstation syndrome’ will not be avoided with an x-box.
Same syndrome, intensified by smaller range & quality of titles available. And my Compacts get their most use when the PS2 is on…
quick bursts of racing between Timesplitters 2 deathmatchs!! Makes waiting for another go that bit less tedious.:smiley2:you mat find that you need to shave off abit of the inside right wheel(oposite the gear), not the wheel itself but the bit that holds the axle. The RPM motor from the K.I.T. cars is also a 2.6, plus they have a 3.0 that you can get seperately. I found that the motor from a Cyclona (Toyworld) works wonders, I just threw the motor straight into
my Compact and it goes hard. What size is the aqua pinion that comes with the Cyclona? Is it the same size as the black Compact/Bit pinion?
I ask because the aqua one seems abit smaller, allowing the motor to
spin more freely.I found a mix of x.soft (orange, K.I.T.) tyres and a Cyclona motor gives me the behaiviour you seem to desire… Takes a couple of seconds for mine to grip, and if its on lino… forget it!!!
Funny tho, I thought the soft tyres would AID traction. Why do you want it to spin out ?? Just mess about with different surfaces.
On the track surface note, thanx to everyone with ideas, went with
grey undercoat. Huge amounts of traction! (to the point I can now roll my GTR, not that i want to!!):smiley2:
nice to know im not the only thirtysomething chasing these cars around!!

in reply to Impreza, the cars are 27MHz and 40MHz, so yes they are Compacts not Bits, not that that should make a major difference.
And yes, lose crap and hair, etc. doesnt even get a chance to accumulate!! Im guessing maybe something real small may have worked its way inside the motor, if thats possible.in reply to Impreza, the cars are 27MHz and 40MHz, so yes they are Compacts not Bits, not that that should make a major difference.

Im guessing maybe something real small may have worked its way inside the motor, if thats possible.Dont Compacts come with a 2.2? Maybe 2.6… Either way, they’re quick at first (new), plus the two problem cars are both less than 2 weeks old!! They both seem to struggle in forwards( not on any surface, either – being held!!),speeding up then slowing, then speeding up agian in small cycles. Wack it in reverse though, they rip! Have tried rotating the motor, there is NOTHING in the gears or round the axle, being they’re newish its abit odd.
Also, is double chargingan unmodded car a good or bad idea?? Should find out before i do it!:smiley2:Oddly enough, two of the cars are less than 2 weeks old, and would be lucky to have topped the 100 charge mark. The Nicads have had nothing done to them (in reply to Impreza) but maybe they are abit weary.
