“Hopefully the Crowne Plaza is a good place to stay”

[diehard]

just saw ur vidz on youtube, they are very good man..well done

[diehard]

hey Kerosene where are you standing in the 1st pic?

[diehard]

man that is so cool.where bouts in vic do u fly???wouldn’t mind having a look 1 day. Well i must admit i have not touched my mini z in a couple of weeks, got my tt01 drifting nice now and just bought a HPI sprint 2 stage d.

dave hows the minix coming?? is it going??

[diehard]

with that hummer shell on it it looks tuff.

[diehard]

yeah the dude with the hat(well every time i go there he wears one). he has a few mini z’s him self.

[diehard]

one thing i just thought about too is then you would need metal diff gear.

[diehard]

umm i got it for 115 and i know that there cheaper on ebay but every now and then i dont mind paying extra for good service, the guy at herns hobbies in melb city has always had time for me for all my questions(and i always have questions, they know me as the mini z man lol) and they are always very friendly to me..

[diehard]

well im getting my 12v power supply tonight so im gonna have a bit off a play with the 7.2 packs. i was charging them before with just a regular car battery charger.hahaha there only crap 7.2 anyway.

what kind of run times are ppl getting with there 7.2???? back in the day when i got my 1st grasshopper(i was about 10year old) i was getting like 5-7 mins.lol

[diehard]

well from what i can see the pinion and spur gear are starting to show 1st signs of ware but nothing to to be alarmed about yet. i have only used this car for drifting so far and i am impressed with the quality of the original kyosho parts so far. i am only running the standard motor that came with the car and that seems to work just fine but i will keep an eye on the ware and let ya guys know what i have to change 1st. although the rear diff that i replaced so far does fell like they maybe a bit of ware in it..

i have seen the alum pinion’s for the MA010 are there any alum spurs for them i dont recall coming across one yet, even for the drive shaft???? i suppose being so small they can only make them so strong……

[diehard]

this is the thing i wanted to buy all the stuff from dinball but some of the stuff i wanted they didn’t have it for sale on ebay and rcmart did. so thats why i went for rcmart. i thought that 1 shipping rate would be enough and for all the things i got shipping was only 11USD (normal post) and i got

haha my 1st shell that i had on this which was the black porche with all the racing decals on it from my MR01, has a nice crack on the windscreen from getting stuck under the couch.lol so i put it away its to nice for drifting so i got this one second hand from ebay.

[diehard]

ok i got the vid of the play in the suspension. its short about 20sec i think.its only 1mb.

the pic is of the front suspension. that spacer that i put there came with the ma010 chassis kit. i put just 1 under each front spring..

[diehard]

here are some pics. i got a vid of the suspension which i will put up as soon as the battery on my camera is charged

[diehard]

wow looking good man. is it a kit think or did you make the mould ur self for it or i dunno ??? its good to see a aussie shell.
looks looks like a hell of a lot of work but well done.. cant wait to see it painted..

[diehard]

im interested too

[diehard]

off the top off my head ball bearings would fit as mr01 and 02 are the same size, cant see why they would change the size on the 015
