If this beast becomes installable without soldering, I’m gunna want one of ’em. But it’s gotta be V1.X > Timmy’s V1.1
😀BTW, if you tug at it, will it rip from the solder joints ?
Jay-z,
RCRM soft compoung 25 degree tyres for $10.
RCRM bearings for $22.45
RCRM brake disks for $11.50
RCRM steering knuckles $17.00 1 pack left.
Kyosho viper wheels for $7.00No wheel nuts as far as I could see…
That’s all that I can remember… all other things didn’t catch my attention.
Sorry to hear about your stella models deal, did they take the money out of your account ? Before I bought all my rcrm stuff, I was emailing stella, and he/she seemed really helpful and all replying to all my emails.
Will there be a version of this in plug ‘n’ play format like other external turbos ?
The reason is that I would like to run a turbo only on days that I can have a drag with young Timmy and have the flexibility of running stock on other days on the track if you know what I mean.
Dudes,
Hobbyco in the city are having a 50% off sale on what’s left of there Mini-z parts. Apparently the Australian importers have now succumbed to overseas competition and it’s just not viable for them stock the parts so they’re clearing it all out never to stock them again !
Eg. Those kyosho servo gears which were $11.95 are now $6.
On my way home from work, I popped into jaycar to ask when these are coming and the sales guy said 18th of July. So yeah, two weeks time.
Our jaws all dropped when that little girl on the bike came ever so close to your i-waver… just a few cms more and your car would have been crushed.
That battery cover belongs to dgs’s mate.
We’ll see how fast you can go… have you ordered suspension mods yet ?
Yes. Definitely a big thankyou to Aaron, dgs and all else that organised this great buy…
Paint job is fun and all, but a bashed up body might have impact cracks, lost head light lenses, ripped off mirrors etc.. I personally wouldn’t bother painting if in this condition but would rather get another autoscale body *IF* they are still available…
Bottom line is buy two of ’em.
I’m not coming for 2 weeks. Got some family stuff to do this week, then next Sunday got to go to work.
Geo – thanks for the offer – but I get nervous when I drive someone elses z. My mini-z is now up and running with the d2 benz shell woohoo. Just got to wear in the new spur gear.
I prefer the enzo, shame that the asc is sold out everywhere…
These are going for $149 AUD at Myers ATM, a saving of $20. Offer won’t last long though…
Looks like it would as it comes in RM form when buying the ready set.
But seriously, would you really want to bang that shell up ?
Can’t wait to get that skyline body. The 355 body and an alloy motor mount allow for zero rear suspension movement.
Do us a favour and open up mocky’s iwaver and put finger prints all over the body… Muhahahah
That is awesome, I could think of a few things I could do with that…
…A while ago, some teenagers in China were caught mounting those pin hole cameras on the inside tip of their shoes and getting onto crowded trains…
I did 3 hours of servicing last night and my diff shaft looks slightly bent as well. 🙁
So far the damage would amount to
ASC Body Porsche GT3 $22.90
3 Racing Ball Diff (can I get shafts for these?) $13.00
3 Racing Motor Heat Sink $3.50
3 Racing Spur/Pinin Gear $3.50
Shipping ~ $12.00
Total $51.40 converted to AUD $79.00The corner court is looking very attractive at this moment. The kids don’t ride their bikes on grass right ???
Yeah, I’d be quite happy to bring like a dozen or so bread rolls and sausages, if someone were to bring the bbq but this would only suit a day where quite a few of us showed up. Basically if we all agree on a Sunday which all of us can attend then this would be the way to go…
I’m out this Sunday because of the “sorry” incident.
Josh had a bunch of half cut tennis balls and we were using them as “domes” – but that didn’t stop the kids riding over them or kicking them to another court. At one stage we had “gang” of 6 kids on bikes and one 4 year old on a tri-cycle ride across the court that we were racing on – they were having there own race it seemed.
The woman that was running across the courts that stepped on Dgs’s gtr was trying to get to her crying daughter who had fallen from her bicycle.
Fortunately no visual damage occurred to his mini-z but after that, his car’s handling was off somewhat…
Like Jamie says, kids and parents there have no idea on the cost of these cars and consider them as cheap rc toys.
Talldude, I won’t be there this coming Sunday, maybe the following depending on whether my new parts get delivered before then. Just becareful when you race your rc cars out there and give’em the good old “get tha fack out of ‘ere” if they venture in too close.
Geo, sorry to hear about your Z – that nsx is a nice shell – did it explode on impact ? or just paint ? I think I’ll be sticking to i-waver shells from now on.
I prefer the 5 because it has that throttle-a throttle-b knob adjusts the trigger. The 2 looks like something from star trek.
I’ll be coming to m’bank this sunday. I found a different route to get to there and it now takes me 25 minutes instead of 35 minutes.
Will we bother with the track or just drag and smash ?
How many people going this week ? Gunna bring my esso ultraflo supra bcg…
Aaron,
Will you be getting bearings for motor cans ?
Dgs,
No worries about the foam stuff. I just checked out the place and they don’t have much left.. Will have to wait till they get more stuff in. At the moment they got lots of long strips of grey foam, which are about 10cm wide, 1 cm thickness in a roll – not sure if it can be used for track barriers though.
Mocky,
No I don’t sell batteries.
If you’re after some decent batts you can get Powertechs from Jaycar Electronics. The AAA 800mah cost $3.15 each. I also use the Kingcell AA alkaline batts for the TX, a pack 24 costs about $11
Jaycar have a store in york st. behind the Queen Victoria Building.
Quote:So, dare I ask about numbers this weekend? Talldude; you’re busy, if I remeber rightly… Kevsta; see you there? (btw. gaff tape is in my bag NOW, and will stay there this time…!)I thought this thread was finally dead.
I should be okay for this weekend but will confirm later on in the week. Didn’t really get my rc-fix from last Sunday… and I think I got my handling whoes sorted now; just needed a little more slip in the diff… and that extra power that I’m getting from my x-speed…:D
You interested in some of that foamy stuff ? I can check out that place on Sunday morning to see if they’ve got any decent amounts left.
My soldering iron is one of those dick smith specials which is about 15 years old now but thats because the elect eng course required you to get one of them.
Just out of curiosity, don’t threads like this open yourself up to legal problems ?
I know on another forum that I visit, you can’t say anything bad about a commercial business for risks of being sued for defamation…loss of business etc….
