what about rechargable batteries ? is that possible ?
or are LR44’s just to small to be rechargable ?
i’ll bet it would be trouble finding a charger that can charge that low
so the little cell has a chance to survive.

not realy having used LR44’s alot myself, weren’t some batteries
made up out of a stack LR44’s with just a metal wrap around it ?
in other words, take the shell off and have loose cells.
don’t know if this is cheaper by the way.

the video isn’t very realistic. $40 for 16 LR44 ? seems too expensive.
and he compaires the alkaline cells from the 12v AAA he hacked
with a silver based cell for fotocamera’s.
needles to say the silver type will last much longer,
so it will cost much more.
besides. i’m pretty shure those two 12V batteries cost a lot more then
$1,88 over here in europe.
(europe being soaked in enviromental taxes for disposable batteries)
(maybe that’s the reason Qsteer isn’t realy a hit overhere)

what ? they have hornet’s too ? 😉 😀

seriously, do you think it can be done ?

best regards

i think your right. i was thinking the buggies worked with the tank like steering as well, but they don’t.

there have been some digiQ with special front wheels that could pivot
freely, but non with actual frontwheel steering.
but i liked the brakelights on the later models a lot.

oh well, maybe someday, it would be nice though,
a propo Qsteer buggie.

right, those were bit-charge’s. :blush:

personally i like to be gored by buying (older) propo-bit’s.
many of them can be restored by just replacing the batteries.
but it’s a costly affair no doubt about that.
on the other hand, the shippingcosts are about the same,
and that’s a big part of the end price for me allready.

i guess we all wished we lived in japan and pick them
up for only a few thousand ?.

still i’dd like to have a horneto Qsteer though,
because i had a tamiya hornet in the past. :approve:
any chance the Qsteers can be modded into propo controlls ?
maybe mount a digiQ PCB onto it ?
i doubt somehow if there is space enough for it.

cheers

you two should order stuff together and save a lot on shipping. :beer:

Out of production?
Must I look in ebay?

it doesn’t hurt to use the search function,
and after all, it is an auction, you could get lucky.
also check the trade sections of fora like this.
or get them direct from Japan, but that’s usually a little more difficult.

weren’t ZipZap’s sold as “microsizers” in Europe ?
your 1:1 scale Audi cardealer may (still) have 4th gen. ZipZap SE (propo).
