    Those jet dash motors go for ridiculously high prices on ebay. Saw one go for about $20-30 USD several weeks ago.

    Is it because they are out of production or something ?

    Can I change my order to :

    1 x IWAVER HIGH GRADE STEERING WHEEL SPONGE
    http://www.toyeast.com/v2/proddetail2.asp?pdtid=A09000136

    1 x IWAVER 02 NORMAL FLAT TIRES 40 SET
    http://www.toyeast.com/v2/proddetail2.asp?pdtid=A05001369

    2 x IWAVER 02 WIDE TIRES 40 SET

    Sorry about that, just realised that the steering wheel sponge only fits a KT2.

    Cheers.

    Its not SP2, I havent put it on yet, and the java buttons stopped working a few weeks ago.
    AFAIK sp2 is just firewall stuff, but I am sure someone will clarify this.

    Yeah on my sister’s pc with no sp2, I’ve been getting the same problem for a while now with IE6 and have tried playing around with the settings with no success. I just downloaded Mozilla Firefox – got no probs with that browser client.

    Had a go of my xspeed pro last night and it’s all okay – no more weird noises. Motor feels very quick and has lots of torque. Batteries very hot after 5 minutes run.

    Think you might have a dud one TD.

    my iwaver pro seems to a POS.

    its not as fast as the iwaver xspeed and the shaft has toooo much movement. i guess i got a bloody dud (go figure with that price!)

    Yeah, the scraping noises that I hear from my one doesn’t sound too healthy. But wouldn’t mind just giving it a run on your tammy to see how it compares.

    So has anyone soughted out the witches hats ?

    Or shall I buy 4 of ’em from Rebel sport ?

    TD: Have you run your x-speed pro motor yet ? I’ve broken mine in, and it’s noisy like it’s scraping something inside of it.

    yeah… um, i just made a 2x 20 turn motor, spinbrush magnets. it runs, but it’s speed fluctuates and will either be really fast or really slow. the armeture also gets really hot to the touch. i am running it with 6v, just to test, but none of my other motors did that. anyone help/explain?

    You winding with enameled copper wire ? If you are then you need to remove some of the enamel with a hobby knife where it touches the little holders of the commutator tabs so that it can properly conduct.

    Wow… add some cleavage and some hipsters and we’ve got a scene for home and away. :p:D

    So I’ve got top speed for the Z *for this week*. Who really cares ? I can assure you that I don’t and no I didn’t win any prizes. *LOL* I just merely pushed up the high water mark and I’m not going to brag about it either.

    I just enjoyed putting all the theory to practice from all the information you get from ausmicro and other z sites and that wouldn’t have been possible if people didn’t share their knowledge for this wonderful hobby of ours.

    So dudes, make up and give each other hug and a kiss on the cheek and lets enjoy Sunday racing gatherings in a friendly atmosphere.

    Talldude, glad to help you out with your motors and motor mount, let me know when you get those new motors of yours man. Anyone else need help – just ask.

    Roe, Thanks for letting me have a go of your drift car, I can assure you it was exhilarating.:D 54K’s on you i-waver – I think we’ve got enough contenders for some high speed netball court lapping races now.
    😀

    Icebreaka, You’ve got a good setup with that mr02 of yours. You were lapping me along with Big Dave 😯

    i thought it was swamp etc down that way kev. I’ve ridden my mountain bike threw there a couple of times (albeit, bout a year ago now) looks like the same place….nice place to watch the planes take off….:)

    Roe, no longer swamp land. The local council has pumped a few million into rebuilding the place, the large dirt dunes are an in-progress and the courts are lit up a night just as Bunnings bankstown is.

    Hey MK,

    There are some massive dirt dunes next to Tempe Reserve, but not sure if they are accessible to the public. If you look at the http://www.street-directory.com.au for Holbeach Ave. Tempe you will see it’s called “Proposed Open Space & Habitat Restoration”.

    It might be worthwhile checking out.

    🙂
