Cosmo an equivalent radioto that one would cost around $100 USD….
I think it’s a bargian if it’s any good.
Damn, looks like Melbourne is the rc capital of Australia.
Wish we had the same up here in Sydney.
Yeah, I’m thinking the rc18t will be it – the reviews on it have been pretty good and the 1/18 scale is ideal to run at home in the backyard and outdoors. (I’ve been jumping my son’s toy rc buggy lately and it’s quite fun especially when you don’t care if it breaks.)
TD, I see your point about ordering back ordered stuff. Prefer them to have it in stock so that it can ship immediately. Might just have to wait till next year as well if no other alternatives.
Quote:just one more… can even tell it is (was?) a Falcon 500…Very nice. Makes me want to put the dvd in and watch the movie again.
Now all you need to do is mount it on a chassis and test the super charger out.
😀
Quote:what are you planing on getting kev?Looking at the 4wd rc18t/mini-quake but probably the rc18t because of quality and availability of parts. Waiting on an email to see if they are available in Hong Kong, if not, then will probably get it from tower. With the AUD$ so high and the voucher offer ($15 USD off) ending at the end of this year it’s all very tempting.
🙂
Quote:What kind of radio range are you boys getting?Anything more than 10 feet? blackeye:
That wouldn’t be the reason why someone else on another forum is trying to offload theirs for $170 would it ?
Some ice cold drinks. Feet up, lying back on the sofa in airconditioned comfort, I,Robot dvd playing on the surround sound system. Eating leftover last night’s domino pizzas…
What more could you ask for..?
:smiley16:
Definitely THE best high speed/torque motor setup and doesn’t cost the earth either. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this valuable info !
Have you tried putting the x-speed pro arm in the setup ?
They’d be a good bash chassis that’s for sure.
Quote:i should be there tomorrow hopefully.If it’s as hot as today. I’m going to have to give it a miss. Gotta love home air conditioning…
Quote:…come teach English in Japan…i get 45 USD an hour 🙂 im sorry…i just had to say that 🙂That’s heaps. 4 hours work = 1 rc18t delivered. 😀
My first job in retail paid me $50 AUD for a 10 hour day.
Yes surprisingly the cost of parts for 1:10 are about the same as mini-z parts with the exception of motors & batt packs. I won’t be doing any club racing at this stage, just casual friendly races around strategically placed witches hats.
MiniKing, when I get all my gear together, I’ll race you no worries.
😀
$50 aud shipped here isn’t bad at all.
I wonder what bodies will fit on them…
Quote:stock everything dude atm.i want some foamies considering do a club race just as a novice would be fun. it handles so well i can turn it wherever i want it to turn to!
4wd rocks guys lol
Excellent. Good to hear that it handles well. Whats the power like from the stock motor ?

I had sweet & sour pork with fried rice for lunch today and it’s not settling down too well – hate burping up that awful taste…:dead:
Jamie,
I’m staying away from those thick shakes, in fact I can’t remember when I last had one of those.
What’s the deal with getting the pickles from the cheese burger and throwing them up on to the ceiling ?
dgs, chicken juices and chicken skin used to make the kfc gravy right ?
Quote:what hop up parts did you get dude?i got an alloy motor mount dats it.
Total of 10 hop up parts… don’t have the list with me right now, and don’t know what they’re called because it’s all new to me…
Things like the stabilizer bars, front rear uprights (whateva they are ?), steel pinions/spurs, light weight shaft, that ssg centre plate thingamyjig(?) plus more…As for this Sunday, don’t know if I can make it either… with christmas coming soon, it’s like shop for presents and stuff but will know on the morning.
😀I heard that disgruntled staff spit in the burgers, pelt each other with frozen buns in the cool room and blow in the softserve or are they macca myths ?
Quote:…yeah im pretty happy with the result kev, considering. i can’t say that it’s been smooth sailing tho. i had my fair share of the usuall iwaver problems including poor wiring and glicthy steering. but i seem to have it under control for the time being. so i’ved nelly’d the other iwaver (last 1’s for my son:) and 57ks is the most this motor will put out, even on nelly 1.3 im gonna give it the PD/BB case and see what i can get out of it! i’ll post my results later tonight…:)It’ll be interesting to see what speeds could be had if you swapped the x-speed pro neo-magnets with pd magnets.
:p
my tb02 hop up parts have been bought…
Now the long wait for the rest of the stuff…:)
I got a feeling the mini-quake might have more of a tendency to roll than the rc18t. But I agree it looks better…
ausmini.com ?
How much extra does one need to pay for those custom Maccca burgers ?
My favourite is the hungry jacks whopper with cheese. Had one the other day, and it tasted good.
Not sure if I can make it this Sunday, as I am chauffer to the airport…
Getting my sis to check rc18t’s in hk as well for me. Hope they have em in stock.
Quote:Quote:meh .. asif anyone uses comm drops. just oil up ur bushings/bearings and use a comm stick and maybe a motor spry every noe and then.. com drops just clog up ur comm…after messing around with my iwaver, and finally perfecting the motor mount, i manage to achive a speed of 54ks, using stock iwaver 01, iwaver pro motor and 11 tooth pinion. happy with the results i thought i’d try my comm drops (as the motor case is similar to the atomic bb 1, there’s ez access to the comm) and low and behold an extra 3ks, pushing this car to 57ks STOCK!!! WAT!!… 😀
Roe, They’re good motors for the price. My batteries go close to melt down when running it with a 14t pinion.
57K’s you champion. Be interesting what you’d get with that nelly 1.3 of yours.
:):smiley16:Very nice. I like it. Can’t wait to see the end result.
How do you stop the dust from sticking to the paintwork after spray ? You got a mini spray booth ?
🙂
Quote:Cutoff date – Probably in about a week time for get included, then about a week to get the cash into the ausmicro.com bank…Kevsta ain’t you down for two of those tyres already?
A.
Edited by – Aaron on 16 November 2004 11:04:58
Yep, Just put me down for two set of those tyres. It’s just that I noticed in the original post that I was down for one that’s all.
Thanks.:)
