LOL Kev……..a air compresor gets the PVC out fine pete, you have to remove the motor on the 1/10 anyway if you want to clean it properly well i do anyway….that way i can inspect brushes and clean the com……i dont have a problem getting the stuff off…….if you dont want the sh*t in your Z’s then run them seperatley and have a designated drift section….like Talldude suggested…..:D:D:D
PVC aint that bad just use a air compressor to clean your car after a days run it all comes off no worries just as easy as dirt and dust….If you have a compressor that is……ill prob just drift my 1/10 at meadowbank and go to Tempe to race on a proper track.Portable track for 1/10’s whos got that…???? not a bad idea use the same idea as a z track…..but with bigger pipe.I got an idea……..:D:smiley2::D:smiley2::D
yeah we definately need to organise a big meet for next year……it will be more than just the Z’s running though as now most of us have 1/10 electric touring cars……I cant wait next year is gonna go off we have enough 1/10 tourers to have some pretty cool races track and drift….cant wait can just picture 5 or 6 cars drifting at the same time…… :D:smiley2::D:smiley2: Im itching to race my drifter i had it out last nite i put foam tires on it and i was running it in the street in the dark…….only had street lights and car headlights as a guide my electric car is running really sweet….i want to race this thing on a proper track and against other 1/10’s…..:D:D:D
nah aaron im not gonna get any carbon on my T alloy i will be getting though eventually….ill prob leave the main chassis plastic and get a few select alloy parts that i want…..i dont like carbon fibre for off road and the way ive driving this thing i doubt it would last……my LHS has everything im goin there this arvo after work
Good Stuff the pack helps heaps with performance man wait till you get a hotter motor and youll really see a difference…….i was fanging my car around last nite and was drifting no probs and getting the back out was soooooooo easy and thats not offroad and running my venom 2300mah AA rechargables…..!!!!!These things do handle really well and they do turn on a dime……gave my oil shocks a good workout last nite aswell was jumping it off the Losi ramp you get in the kit……hitting the ramp full speed and getting some serious air in my driveway and it wasnt bottoming out at all…….6 cell power up pack will be mine 2day…..cant wait to fit that….:D:D:D:D
Yeah big dave is right the black inside wont show through unless you havent completley and evenly coated the inside with your main colour….ive coated all my bodies inside with black and looks good and never shows through my RX8 body on my nitro car is black inside(see my gallery)and it does give it a scale look…..it doesnt greatly affect speed as thats the body i ran on my car when we speed checked it and it was flyin……:D:D:D
Fair enough seeing as you are still running a standard motor and your car is mostly standard you wont really need it just yet……Although the guy at my LHS said that the standard ones do wear quick when you get a hotter motor which ive been running in my T for a bit….and since im getting the 6cell power up pack from losi which is a 6cell batt pack,more powerfull motor and pinion my LHS said it would be good investment….Fitted my new oil shocks last nite….im really happy with the results no more bottoming out for the T anymore was getting some good air last nite jumping it off any thing i could….Oil shocks are a good mod to do…worth the money spent.:D:D:D
Yeah the focus looks sick i wonder how an IW02 will go up against a MR02 i reckon it would be a good race ……:D:smiley2::D:smiley2::D
Quote:Why can’t u use the ball diff? a ball diff should make a good improvement in offroad traction…Thats exactly wat i want to know Jamie…..I was speaking to the bloke at my local hobby shop yesterday and he said that it will make an improvement……he has one fitted to his and he said it made a big improvement over the stock diff on and off road…..:D:DIm getting mine at the end of the week so ill see wat happens i cant see why it wouldnt make an improvement over stock.
I got my shocks and my cvd pins…..cant wait to fit em…..shall be posting new pics soon of mini t and my other cars…….the guy @ my hobby my shop did me a sweet deal on Team Losi 6 cell power up pack which will be in my possesion at the end of the week……funds are a bit tied up for now i got my girls birthday this weekend….need to buy her presents first……but i got the shocks and cvd pins first and ill have the power up pack by Friday…..will post the results later….:D:D:D
Nah I didnt have to order anything from custom model cars they have everything for the mini T in stock except the batt pack which they just sold out of when i went to get mine……i love taking it off road nothing too harsh just stuff appropriate for its scale some hard clay is cool surface i had my t drifting and jumping really well……I want to try the ball diff if it works it works if it doesnt aw well its all an experiment for me with my mini T and i get my stuff at really good prices so i cant complain. It must help in some way……i didnt snap the whole cvd i snapped the pin that goes in behind the wheel….so i just decided to replace both the cvds and got the one that goes with the ball diff i got……Kellets are hopeless man i was in there on the weekend and they are just too overpriced with their stuff….not worth the drive to Liverpool really….. :D:smiley2::D
+70km/h in a 1/18 is damn quick and very impressive for its scale……!!!!
Sweet Kev cant wait to see your new toys dude….looks like well have to join the racing in Tempe….!!!!Is it on 2nite i might go up there and have a look…..i havent driven my rc in ages last nite was the first time in a while so itching to get my rc out and running again.:smiley2::D:smiley2::D
LOL….!!!!Good stuff Jamie very cool:D:D:D
My LHS has got my battery pack in stock and all my stuff is waiting to be picked up i cant wait to try out my new batt pack, oil shocks and ball diff…..i also added a set of 3racing CVD’s as i snapped one the original pins……i cant wait to get my stuff……i took it off road on sunday for a bit of a bash goin over few jumps and stuff those oil shocks are gonna help out my T when landing after jumps the stock ones with spacers in are hopeless man…..the spacers dont do noting……..will post picks when done fitting my new hop ups……:D:smiley2::D:smiley2::D
70km/h for 1/18 scale is damn quick…..i wonder if i could get my Losi mini T up to that sought of speed……:D:D:D
Very nice dude……the S15 is my dream car and i was prob gonna do that body next for my drift car……iim gonna do one full D1 Japan spec my friend does vinyl graphics for cars so he is gonna make me up all the proper stickers and sh*t……I just have to decide which body to do……..AE86,S13 Sylvia,Series 6 RX7 or a S15 Sylvia…….mmmmmmmmmmmm decisions decisions….!!!!!:D
Yeah man im the same i wouldnt do it either…..but i must say the end result looks pretty cool well done priest….:D:smiley2::DDo you rekon it would be possible to do the same with a plastic set…or would that make them to weak? Did the fet stack make a big difference???
Yeah me too im goin down for sure…
Quote:What kind of radio range are you boys getting?Anything more than 10 feet? blackeye:
have no probs with range with my one……i get alot more than 10 feet i can tell you that much.:D:D:D
Very cool looks just like the real thing.
Ive paid for all my stuff already just waiting for my battery pack to come in so i can pick it all up in one hit i put spacers in the shocks it helps but the oil shocks will be heaps better….im running AA rechargables now not sure wat mah but they are pretty good last quite long even with the hotter motor….6 cell pack will be heaps better….never ran normal batts wouldnt bother you cant beat rechargeables….I got the blue shell on mine(girlfriends choice) but it will soon be replaced with the hummer shell and some slick chrome wheels….:smiley2::smiley2::DMy LHS is not Kellets its called Custom Model Cars Kellets are hopeless they charge way too much for their stuff……The motor makes a big difference man its not properly run in yet my stock motor is brand new and was even run in….Should get my new hop ups by the end of the week for round two of the Mini T build up…..im uploading my photos soon havent had much time……:D:smiley2::D:D next time i come down to Meadow bank well have a bit of a race mate..????:D:):D
So who went racing yesterday…???? It was just way too hot yesterday to go..!!!

Sweet looking foward to it Kevsta we should all meet up at that netball court in Tempe one evening or day and do a bit of racing and drifting…..:D:D
