i stuck one in, from memory, i didnt have to change anything, but its been a while.

[hakhawk]

might look at doing this, whats the easiest way to charge them?

[hakhawk]

they seem to be doing pretty good lately, so id say they will

[hakhawk]

werent the 04s just a rip off of the mini z monsters?

and u gotta learn how to repair stripped threads :p assuming it was a plastic one, theyre pretty easy

[hakhawk]

was running on asphalt at a supermarket carpark. nice and quiet bar the odd truck at the loading zone. im using atomic rubbers on the front atm(cant remember which number), but ive got some softer ones coming in a week or so, so will see how that goes.

messed around with making a custom front steering rod today, its now toe adjustable, though i think ill make a longer center piece, as i cant really get much toe out on current one now.

[hakhawk]

i weighed it against a mates stock iwaver with all alloy and plastic motor mount, and they were within 5g of each other. thats with aaas in his. so it should actually be lighter than a full alloy iw02m or very close.

drives pretty good, gets up and goes, but any jab at the throttle sneds it spinning. steering is very touchy. im going to make up a new tie rod sometime with a bit more toe in, see if that helps. unless someones got any ideas. it doesnt twitch at all, which is brilliant, and im getting huge runtimes with this battery

[hakhawk]

should just add for my friend ephect, its an iw02m, havent looked if theyre the same fet setup as the 02s.

[hakhawk]

no scales unfortunately.

[hakhawk]

got curious before and ripped a kingpin out of an old iwaver 02 and compared it to the 02m kingpin, the point where the top clip slides in on the 02m is like .2mm taller than the 02, and overall length is maybe .5mm taller. but it fits in fine and the 02m clip works, so those that want stainless kingpins, just grab a set of iw02 ones, not sure if mini z mr02 are the same, but id assume so.

[hakhawk]

oh, looking at the alloy bits on toyeast last night and the shock setup is interesting. looks adjustable to an extent.

[hakhawk]

nah, no chance of getting to a rcp track unless theres one i dont know about in latrobe valley area.

dont think u could fill the rear shocks with oil, theyre a 2 piece design, a shaft slots into the top piece.

looking at the way the rear suspension works, theres little to no movement for the whole diff to move up at once, but the motor mount holders that keep it on the chassis, the front one is elongated. but the chassis flexes more than the mount. but, the sideways action works well, if the car leans one way, the mount will move with it.

its like it needs an elongated holder at the back and shocks over the back of it.

this cuold probably be done with an extended top plate and one or 2 shocks mounted at the back.

ill try and get it outside on the road sometime this week and really open it up, inside is just too small

[hakhawk]

came from: http://www.scaleautomobilia.com.au

cost me $46 with cod to my po box(he only does cod or credit card, got no cc yet)

yeh, some nice aussie bodies hes got on there, he got a vg ute the other day, i should email him for some pics.

[hakhawk]

theyve got em on there now eh? hmm. i want some alloy bits for em, i got some cf sheet coming so i can play with making my own chassis plate with a few extra lengths and possibly using lipo’s for it.

[hakhawk]

ive been slack, havent really used it!! still need to charge those batteries, find my chargers somewhere.

[hakhawk]

yeh, the top plate is all one piece. i didnt know you could get a rm mount for it?

yeh, im not a huge fan of the gt convertible either, but felt like something different to the gt40 and saleen.

hehe, stock diffs rock!!! NOT. im gonna get a ball diff as soon as i cn. i gotta find my stock mor02 diff and see if theyre the same. i remember reading somewhere that they are, but cant remember where.

[hakhawk]

sounds good, got me an iwaver 02m in the mail, hopefully see it tuesday. had any chance to have a look at sticking a spider on these yet aaron? ill take some good close up pics of the pcb when i get it, hopefully it can be done.

wonder if my li-po’s still work, theyve been sitting in a box since i got em, still havent used them yet.

[hakhawk]

ive got the bits there for a plasmatomic, but will probably wind my own for a bit of fun.

[hakhawk]

dont worry, i definately will, first mod will probably be a spider and li-po’s(if mine still work, might just go a spider!! if i can wire it up)

[hakhawk]

ebay, here http://cgi.ebay.com.au/IWAVER-02M-FORD-MUSTANG-1-28-RC-CAR-w-IN20-FM-RADIO-BLK_W0QQitemZ120126752510QQihZ002QQcategoryZ2565QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[hakhawk]

just ordered my iw02m, should get it friday or monday hopefully. cant wait to get it and sus it all out. time to get me some more rechargeable batteries

[hakhawk]

most alloy parts are available now, check tower hobbies,jsut search 02m

and theres a mob with some 02m’son aussie ebay now. im getting one next week if i can spare the coin.

[hakhawk]

yeh, i think its a stuffed main board, its all in the shed in boxes somewhere, ive neglected it all quite a bit since im working on my big cars alot now.

[hakhawk]

my god, that thing is tiny as. i never got my v1 working, might have to grab one of these and dig my cars out and have a play oneday.

[hakhawk]

well, save starting a new thread, i thought id ressurect this old one.

ok, the xmod chassis sucks, crappy plastic, bad suspension design on rear, so im gonna try and make a custom chassis, double wishbone setup as i saw on another forum. cant afford a xmod evo or ma010.

but i was looking at pics of the ma010, and i like the diff, looks much stronger and easier to change gears for the centre shaft.

so, what outside diameter is the big bearing that keeps the diff in place?

hmm, might even try and use the whole ma010 setup minus chassis, alloy knuckles, alloy dogbones, alloy axles, diff, just gotta make up diff and suspension arm holders.

sound feasable?

[hakhawk]

ok, cool will have a read, then have a play, see what i can do, will pm you or ph2t for anymore info, dont wanna clog this thread with non spider stuff. might even switch back to a good set of nimh’s and get the spidey if all else fails.

cheers
