    I’d like to hear from DGS on how his Dnano is going…?

    Wondering if the Dnano is impressive enough to be worth buying.. They’re what two times the price of a mini-z? or more???

    I’m making a track too, I used tiles from Super cheap auto $20 p/4.. Nice smooth grippy surface, but theres a few noticeable height differences at the joins (1 – 2mm)..

    Still trying to find a good way to temporarily tie down foam barriers.. might have to try split pins as well.. Oh and I’m planning to use a 1.5 Tile width.. Like Kevsta said, can’t really push the speed up with the 1 tile width…

    I noticed ALDI has a sale on similar tiles starting 28th August.. $20 p/6

    I remember not even being able to install my (3Racing I think it was) roll shock on my mr-02RM.. It wasn’t that great. Maybe the kyosho one would make a noticeable difference…

    Video of Q-steer on pool table.

    Alternating between boost off and on.. It looks faster in the video than in real life.. probably because its blurry.

    Awesome little cars! Slow normally, but when you push the Boost button they’re pretty swift! 🙂

    Okay.. After 3 years of wanting an A40 Plane, I finally bought one off Ebay $43.49 Shipped with TX batt as well.. Pretty cheap aye 🙂

    Haven’t taken it for a spin yet cos I only got it today.. but it looks pretty cool I must say 🙂

    One question, is it a problem if the tail wing, and the main wing aren’t level with each other :

    ____


    ”””””””’ Tail Wing

    ________________ Main Wing

    Like in that diagram, the tail wing is a bit slanted, but the main wing is str8.. ?

    Hmm.. I’d say a track that is 4 foot wide would be ideal… minimum would be about 3 feet for that many cars… and 2 feet is pushin’ it a lil’ too much.. So if you can get a 4 foot wide track, that’d be perfect 😀

    Ok I finished my track.. It’s just a small L made up of 12 tiles.. and I used strips of foam as barriers.. Kevsta ur right, when the car hits the barrier, it gets caught up.. Hmm thinking of a workaround otherwise I’ll just have to work harder on my driving skills…

    Also, before I start making my barriers, I’ve heard that using cut up strips of foam tiles aren’t high enough and that the cars can still get over them… Is this true? And if so what is the work around?

    Still haven’t fully decided what I’ll be using for my barriers, gonna look in bunnings tomorrow for the price of their 90 degree angle plastic bars…

    Either that or cut up strips of foam…

    I’m thinking of turning the track upside down and making wider track barriers….

    Oh good idea… so for now while I only have 12 tiles, I’ll get my track started on the rough side as 1 tile width.. Then when I finally get at least 12 more tiles, I’ll rip it all up, turn them over and start my 1.5 tile width track 😀

    Aww pete that body looks nice. and to think it used to be in my hands..!

    Anyway, I recommend you get a Kyosho Z, and the others can be iwavers.. And if you get really into it, you can upgrade the iwavers to Z’s or just hop em up to the full.. Great way to get started 😀
