Gongrats to all the cars. Everything here was a bitchin ride (or track) that I wouldn’t mind owning.
So, does third get anything? (Man, I probably sound like a gold digger)

Well Betty, I have to ask about performance. I recently used these because the original ZZse battery source disapeared. The batteries I used didn’t put out a lot of juice. I got them from an enertec and I tried it in the extremely light HO slot car bit I have. They were slow when compared the dual 1/3aaa, so I put the 1/3’s back in. The original ZZse batts seemed much better. I know nimh is nimh and they don’t really differ from batt to batt, but this might just be one of the exceptions. What do you think?
OOOOHHHHH! I see now that I was ignorant. Thanx for clearing that up B. I still think some companies are a little sketchy. But then again I wouldn’t know either way.
I’m not so sure that BCG really does make a 3.8. I’m skeptical about TRC selling it that way. BCG’s are from Japan. I was over there for 4+ years and never saw this motor anywhere. Plus I’ve never heard of it anywhere else either. I like TRC, but I’ve never bought from their store. I know the money goes to support the site, but the prices are still too high. Their R-spec II is $10! And that’s suppost to be on sale!
They have alot of motors that are under different names. I’m kinda curious about that. I wonder if they just change the end-bell and rename it.:question:
You better give yourself a 10 to offset the 1 I’m gonna give you!:shock:
Only kidding pimp. I wouldn’t do that to you. Although this does present a dilema. How can I judge farely when I want to win? I guess I’ll be throwin some 10’s around anyhow. Gotta keep it fare. Besides, I don’t expect to win. I just came to compete.
They are $9.99 (US) at K-B Toys. I can’t remember if you guys have that store over there, but you might find it on their web site.
bump. I thought this should be moved up so everyone can find the link. It was on page 2.
I’m workin on somethin. Should be done soon. I don’t expect to win against all the pro modders out there. I’m going to submit something with a body kit and custom paint with my usual electronics package. The body kit and paint style are a first for me, but I think it’s lookin good enough to be competative. It’s definitely been alot of work.
Well, I used a superslick motor. It’s much easier than trying to weld a mini water cooler.
It works awsome and is much faster anyways.
The wire placement is either the same or close to the same as a sbcg. Have a go at it. If you mix a wire or two, then just reverse what you did. It wont hurt anything to get a few wires mixed up. Just put the red wire at the positive spot / V+ spot is and the black wire goes to where it says grnd or -.
Ditto. I’ve been wondering how to put good castor in these cars. That’s one of the things that really screw these cars up. Without good castor, they wobble all over the place. A few of my cars just happen to run really straight, but for the most part I have to work really hard to get them going straight.
Sounds like something was shorted out or you had a bad battery.
All Auzzies speak a strange language. I visited a couple times and I always said “huh?”.
How did you wire the cells?
Sorry to say this, but it’s too fuzzy. I can’t really make out the detail.
Hey 86. I was in Okinawa. I just moved back to the states.
The plastic bar-piece that moves right and left sometimes gets hung up on something. I’ll take a good small metal file and file all over the steering compartment to give that bar a little more room. That sometimes fixes it. It may also be the wheels/tires. If the chassis is warped in the slightest, then you’ll get a pull in one direction. A wheel might have a piece of hair caught in the axle. Metal flakes may have built up on one side. There are really a lot of things that may be causing the car to pull in one direction. It just take patience and fiddling. Some cars I will switch the whole steering assembly with another car and then it works fine in both cars. Mini steering systems can be touchy.
Is it a stock car? Did you mod it at all?
Actually, the cheese and macaroni thing is from an old beastie boys song. You would have to hear it I guess.
Yes, whitey raps again!
If she’s the chips, then I’m the salsa?!?!…………..

Makes sense. Thanx P! I’ll try it.
I would also never try to do too much to a car from the Dark Tari collection. Maybe a fet mod?!?! But it would most likely be for show and tell, not racing. I wouldn’t want to screw up the paint job.
OKI bus guides are the bomb!!!!
I missed that damn bid though. I got too busy to see it through. Got any more?
I don’t know if I’d really paint it or not. I’d have to see it in person. I have a thing about collectables. If it says “collectable”, but it’s nothing more than an unpainted car, then it would get painted. But if it really seems like a one and only then I’ll save it. I can put a pretty sweet paint job on bits, and the only thing I use clear shells for is to check the fitting after I add stuff. I’ve been known to buy really old comic books and then open and read them. Collectors everywhere pass out at the sight of things such as that. Oh-well!
I will say though, I do see certain bits as holy grounds. I would never mod or paint a bit “Netz Voltz” car. But I would mod and detail one of the gold or silver skylines or a disney resort criuser. Somethings are sacred and some things are just a gimmick. No offense to anyone who likes the gold and silver skylines. This is just my opinion and I can’t fault you for liking bits.
If she’s the cheese then I’m the macaroni!
NOOOOO!!!! NOT THE MATCHSTICK MOD! THAT’S THE MOD TO DESTROY ALL OTHER MODS!:shock:
UA, the mechanics of the steering are clean. I’ve taken it completely apart and put it back together again. No hair or anything. I found another motorworks car that does the same thing. I haven’t suped the second one up yet, and it doesn’t do it while still being a single cell. I think it’s a weight thing. I have other motor works cars that don’t do this. It seems to be a glich in just those two cars.
86, it doesn’t really happen while going backwards, but rather when I go forward while putting pressure on the back, or just letting it accelerate normaly. Although, you have a point. I don’t think I have any cars that go straight while going backwards, unless they are a slow stock car. In fact, I’ve found that if I get it to go straight while going in reverse, then it wont go straight while going forward. No real problem though because I want to go forward anyways.
Welcome to the forum 86.
The motor generates current? I thought it needed current to run??? Sorry, I’ve never heard this.
Actually, I just left Okinawa. I am in the military, but I will be working in Virginia (US) next. Where are you?
Let me guess, you’re in Naha or something and I should have been hitting you up a long time ago instead of being the lone mad bit racer. Other people raced, but I had to mod all thier cars to have any competition.
