Naah. ‘Chris’ sucks. I asked if I could just have a 30 second look.

Chris : “Sorry Sir.”

It’s only toys! And don’t call me ‘Sir’ nerd!
BOO! :dead: 😀

[Kerosene]

I borrowed a pass and had a look around today.

Was the JNH stand ‘protected’ by some nerd behind a counter? Some guy stopped me from going in there.

[Kerosene]

Yeah count me in. I’d like to see a real deal mini-z in action.

[Kerosene]

FET mod it is then!

You have mail micro 🙂

Yep the two holes are for the motor terminals. Things could get ugly if I try replacing the fets. I don’t really know what I’m doing.

[Kerosene]

Here’s a pic. Sorry about the quality.

[Kerosene]

The motor still goes backwards when I switch the wires, so it must be the PCB somewhere.

I’ll take some pics later when I get home.

My Supra shell received an Atomic Wedgie the other day. Nasty chunk taken out of the windscreen.

Might try a pushup fridgebra instead.

Those offroad tyres with the wheel extensions look pretty cool.

Boo! Hiss!

Nice one 🙂 exactly what I was after. Thanks.

[Kerosene]

I thought I might have dropped them when I opened the box. But no 🙁

ToyEast need to watch their quality control.

I got some RC planes in the same order – and one of them was already used and semi-assembled, and was missing the battery box from the transmitter.

[Kerosene]

Yep I’d pay $12. If I got a sticker 🙂

[Kerosene]

😀 FIXED!

Thanks for the tips about the enamel – never would have realized I needed to do that. Took me ages to get those copper strands working – must have unwound about 1/4 of the coil (kept breaking!). But it’s all working again, and I got the extra battery hooked up. Dual cell is nutzo – totally uncontrollable and cool. Whoo!

I’ll have to get one of my lxx boosters fet modded soon.

[Kerosene]

This is turning into a nightmare. I’ve just snapped one of the black strands (down near the coil) – can I just unwind some more from the coil? Or does this mess up the steering?

… I did get to see it run on 2 cells for a few sweet seconds. And holy crap it was cool 🙂

Not a bad days worth of damage for someone who’s barely done any soldering before.

[Kerosene]

Thanks everyone 🙂

Santa went nutzo at Jaycar… I got heaps of rechargeable batteries.

So now I can run EVERYTHING at once.

[Kerosene]

Balloons! Balloons! Balloons!

I’ll try a water balloon.

Cut out lights like that magnificent Skoda in the photo would be cool :p

[Kerosene]

Not a Peugeot. The grill isn’t right.

My pathetic guess is a Satria GTi that’s been backed into a wall.

[Kerosene]

Yep. I’m sending at least one car to MicroAmps to get fet modded. And will keep my Tomy to experiment on myself. It’s already pretty trashed, so I won’t get too upset if I wreck it completely – which is probable.

Just waiting for my batteries to come in from ToyEast …. then the madness begins 👿

[Kerosene]

I had a bit of a look, but could only find massive Nokia batteries. I guess I could tape one onto the top of my car 😀 :dead:

I’ve decided to take the plunge and get some of my other cars FET modded – cause I know it will take forever for me to get this dual cell working.

[Kerosene]

If I ever find this magical battery – can I just charge it with 4 x AAs?

This sounds like a much better option (for me anyway) than soldering up an extra battery and trying to work out how to fit it in the car.

[Kerosene]

Ah ok. I thought there might be a battery the same size as the stock BCG battery, but with double the power. But I guess that would be too easy.

[Kerosene]

What mAh is best?
Is 800 for the AAAs and 1200 for the AAs ok?
