    i hope the gt40 body is good, i liked the skyline gtr iwaver bodies.

    Might have a good look at your gt40 body before I order one. Do you know if its a wide body or narrow ?

    The only good i-waver body I’ve found so far is the skyline gtr. The Benz and Ferrari 355 bodies need to have dremel work and possibly hair dryer treatment.

    Hey, i’m considering buying a dig-q tank from toyeast, to strip the guts out of and fix my tiger!

    -What is the shipping like?

    -How quick is the postage??

    Thanks

    Shipping rates are similar to hong kong online retailers – everything driven by weight. You can find out actual price by going to the checkout section after selecting your goods.

    Packaging is great, it’s all bubble wrapped and placed in a hard cardboard boxes. So your parts arrive safely.

    Postage is about 8-9 days registered air mail to Sydney. Don’t know about EMS – never used it coz it seems so expensive, and I usually don’t require parts “urgently”.

    looks like one of those toys r us rc cars?

    put a bigger motor in it dude! DO IT DO IT DO IT you know u wanna
    :p

    Yep, they are toys… These are some of the presents my son got for his birthday. All my bcgs are ready for him when he gets a little older. He’s already dropped and cracked a bcg contoller, bent and snapped two tx telescopic antennas, stuffed up two bcg clone shells by throwing them in a tantrum (as young toddlers do).

    But he knows the Mini-z’s are mine.

    I’m pretty sure I can get air with one of them. I’ve run one off the sofa on to the tiled floor – seems like they can take a bit of beating.

    😀

    there should be three different tensions, z-beam; those notches out of the front end. 1 notch = soft, 2 = med., 3 = hard. You would be wanting a friction shock (the single one on top), but roll shocks are up to you. Good score too dude:D

    Yeah Toyeast are nice to you if your order takes too long to process or they make a stuff up with it. I once had to wait 2 weeks for my order to get processed, and when I got it they threw in an extra mr02 kyosho tie rod set and an iwaver light set.

    They’ve certainly retained me as a happy customer…

    😀

    Here’s another off roader ? I think I should try and get some air with these beasts…

    But I’ll have to ask for permission first.

    I had fun. Shame about the rain that came at 2pm.

    I got there at 11.45am and had a good run with the skyline and sorted out its handling issues. It runs like its on rails now.

    141kw uhuh yeah more power but the same power figures at the whels thats what cpounts man.

    the focus has 101kw at the wheels sportivo has 98kw’s focus has better power delvery due to its lsd and suspension.

    plus it handles/looks better and most important sounds better then the tricked up family hatch which is the rollar!

    okay end of rant…….for now, bring on the focus RS 😀

    Looks like we’re just going to have to test this out. See ya at the next set of lights brother…

    BTW. You interested in some no longer available FF&R magazines ? They got heaps of datsuns in them as they are from around 1993. If not – they’ll get tossed out as they’re taking up space in the garage.

    Kev; 18spoke, the same as what’s on the Mercs, but alloy… GPM I think. Will be in my toolbox on Sunday.

    Cool, let me know how much $$$ you want for them.

    Betty, is that an i-waver benz body ? Both Mocky and myself have the i-waver benz shell and the front 2.5mm offset wheels rub the wheel arches/shell.

    Kev; you going to bring the Enzo again this weekend? Oh, and TD again; the track is sooo much closer to happening, been in contact with a certain person, looks like it will be a go…:approve:

    Dgs, nah not this weekend. The benz is handling extremely well, now it’s time to sort out the handling with the silver skyline – (I’m trying to achieve the same handling like the O-plate but using the h-plate and roll shocks instead).

    With the carpet track, can you let me know how much it’ll be and what the size and track width will be before you place the order ? I may be interested if the price is right.

    kevsta who ur ordering from? minizwork shop resends motors if u dont recieve them, how generous. many ppl order from them dun see it for 2 weeks he resends it and a week latr u end up with 2 motors.

    Mocky,

    I just want to see my order turn up. If he is nice enough to send the order again, and I end up with 2 orders being delivered in the end, I would do the right thing and email him about it and pay for the second order.

    kev i got a plasma dash with bb can and neo magnets, i didnt make it btw.

    Talldude, Where did you buy the motor from ? I’m interested in getting a modified plasma dash based motor just so that I can equal your speeds – then it’ll come down to just driving skills and handling setups.

    Kev; i remember them. They’re those nice smelling things that can empty a wallet faster than you can say “shoe sale”:clown:
    appologies in advance for that one…:p

    Most likely I’ll be running with the x-speed motor this coming Sunday. Having some problems with an order from a mini-z motor seller, shipped 14 days ago and still no sight of my order 👿

    Did you have to dremel out the front wheel arches so that the wide offset wheels can actually turn without hitting the shell ?

    Nice yellow paint job. I prefer pics of women baring all rather than skulls.

    Kev; i’ve got a set of alloy rims made for 1st/2nd gen. Mercedes, they will(should) fit your car with no mods. Hows this; i’ll bring em with me this weekend, if they fit you can buy em if you want, or if not, no worries. If they dont fit without abit of dremel work, they are yours FREE. That’s how certain I am…:D

    Yeah why not. Bring them along. What style are they ? 😀
