Hey Trash, does that stuff actually conduct, or is it magnetic and non-conductive.
That sounds like wierd stuff.
:)uATrash sounds like you have an excellent ‘toy friendly’ workplace.
I used to have a similar situation, but I asked for a change about a year ago because I was getting bored. This was just before I got into micro r/c, (damn bad timing on my part) now Im so busy some days I dont even have time t scratch myself.
Oh well.
:)uAWell done Jeff on the fet mod of the Wild.
I had a Wild lined up for a fet mod, but it fell through.
I’d love to do one for someone, anybody interested in getting their wild uA fet modded, let me know. There will be a place on my website for it once it is complete.:)uA
It might have been too heavy which stopped the steering from working very well.
I use bluetack to hold components in place whilst soldering (a little hint there) so I concur with ph2t, if definitely does not conduct.
:)uAHehehe, Trash, you crack me up. lol.

Kwaka ZZR1100, lots a fun at mach 1.

Um,……
Oh yeah and a few dozen BITs and other assorted micro rc pieces of fun.:)uA
They are designed for larger spaces, my kitchen which is great for BCGs just isnt big enough for the Ducati. Still it seems to right itself ok after turns. The wheels have metal rings in them (under the tyres) that act like a gyro, to stand the bike upright after a corner.
The wheels are tiny, but thats part of the appeal.
Take my advice, get one, you’ll love it.
:DuAI think it will need a larger wing. lol, to keep it on the ground.
One piece of advice, you might find that standard rims and the coloured tyre set (GS-07) actually handle better, for the rear tyres. The alu rims can be heavy and the tyres are not as good gripping as the pink Tomy tires.
I will be very interested to see how this all turns out.
:)uAI have just received my ZZ SE, and it is in line for a fet modding.
I will let you know how I fare.
:)uAYes they are a good little car. They have a good charger idea where the batteries are in a ‘cassette’ that is removed from the controller to charge the car, then slipped back into the controller to power it.
I like these cars, they are a good quality. They take a fet mod very well too.
The only down sides I see to this car are….
-the tyres are hard and a little slippery, and as far as I know replacement hop-ups arent available.
-there is no room for a dual cell implant.
-the steering can stick a bit. They have a steering motor to kick the front wheels left and right, it works well, but usually needs a little ‘tweaking’ to get it spot on.
Generally speaking, they are a good micro car.
Thumbs up from me.
:)uAFor those of you who are interested, I still have some pre-modded single and 2 speed sets for sale, check my website (below).
:)uAYes I know of the Hangar rat Jamie, they are a good candidate for a micro rc plane.
Figures sound about right too.
:)uAYep, absolutely, its happening, I was flying these yesterday.
I was approached by (believe it or not) a doctor and a proffessor to modify the BCG micro r/c internals for use in some tiny micro planes that they fly indoors in a basket ball court ‘gym’. Well, the whole excersize was a huge success and now I am hooked. I have 2 planes and they fly really well and are heaps of fun as well. They are ultra ultra light, one weighs 28 grams, the other 42 grams !!
I will be posting pics, how toos, and selling pre-modded stuff on the website soon, but work has got me flat out at the moment. As soon as I find the spare time I will get them on.
Stay tuned……:)uA
I have been noticing that the server is a bit slow sometimes, but then, so am I sometimes.
:)uALeonLi17, I got mine from Trash, payed the $100 because that seems to be the going price anywhere at the moment. Although, like everything, I am sure the price will come down as they become more popular. Rememer the first BCG Beetle on ebay sold for US$50, now they sell for 15.
It was well worth it IMO though. It has gone straight to the top of the list as my fave for now.
They dont wheelie when you floor it (maybe after a few mods tho) they take some skill to keep in control of it as it leans through the corners.
As I get better at controlling it I will consider some mods to make this thing rock.
BTW, today is the official release day of the little bikes.
:D:DuAAhhh, Shypo, you might remember that I am also waiting for something that runs on 49MHz. Its been a few weeks now.
uAEspecially with his head being that big.
Makes it easy to pick him up tho.:)uA
Trash I have a Tamiya speed checker and another speed checker that I made. I just wack it on that and read the speeds. Only 2 speeds Im afraid, but good control (with a little practice).
The ‘death wobbles’ are funny, mine ‘high sided’ the rider and flipped the whole bike end over end.
(Memories of this actually happening to me 1:1 size)
The handling is tops, very much like the real thing.
Maybe a little more speed needed, but that comes later.
:)uASounds good, are you going to go ahead with one?
:)uAThats pretty good, I havent seen the Lxx for sale here. Was it the small box ones, or the ones that are in the widow box like a BCG?
:)uAin meine schule ??? not sure. I have German ancestry and I cant speak it as well as you LeonLi17. Oh well.
:)uAYeah, you need to be careful on the high voltage bits, only run them for short bursts. If the motor heats up it can burn out. They still run afterwards, but they are very weak because most of the torque producing windings are open circuited.
:)uAGood to see you back Imprez, been a while.:)
:)uAARE THESE THINGS EXCELLENT OR WHAT!!!!:D:D:D
These things are bloody tops. Really good quality little bike, ‘robot’ rider leans over bike is stable in corners, love it, love it, love it.
Been practicing figure 8s in the dining room, but I need a basket ball court.
Going to an indoor court complex this Saturday night and I’m going to bring it along and give it a run for its money.
Thanks Trash, you are a legend.
I’m not going to get into it (mod it) just yet, I want to master it so I can tell if the mods are in improvement or not. It has 2 speeds, 5.5km/h and 7 km/h, so its no slouch even as standard. It looks to have 2 cells in it, in parrallel. It runs for ages with a double charge, 10 – 15 minutes. Printing on the side says 1.2v, so I think a little re-routing of circuitry will see this little baby running 2.4v for the first mod, then fets. It has good rubber tyres with tread, they stick well to the floor.
Great stuff, if you are into bikes at all and love r/c, get yourself one of these, you wont be dissapointed.:approve:
:):DuAAnything over a 2 cell mod is a waste of time unless you want a drag car.
They cant steer because they are too heavy with cells, and just tip over all the time.
