    I think the Expo is on the first weekend of March but I’ll have to check on that as I’m not too sure.

    Dave, you have a point there. We should be able to demo the non-approved frequency cars but we’ll have to look into the selling part.

    So we only have about 5 weeks to build a track but both Barrell and I have next week off (yay, it’s been approved!!) and on Wednesday we will have the WCR building to our selves to start building.

    Barrell, I’ll email Gerald to see what’s happening about the key and the Skyline body.

    Well I’ve decided not to train track for Bit racing as I’ve had an offer from the old Tuder Court owners to buy it from me. I’ll just have to remove a couple of pieces that I put on the track (the helicopter/building smash and the cow kill scene) as they thought that it might not be appropriate for children to view.

    I found out that the track is a vintage 1960’s railway made in Canberra by a world renown train track builder and they made me an offer that I couldnt refuse so sorry dudes but I will post picts of it before it goes.

    As for the picts of the power lines on my test track I WILL post them in the next couple of days.

    oh ok, bummer.

    I secured the poles underneath with thick metal screws which are then attached to wire underneath to broarden the range times two. Track is almost ready for pictures.

    but if your going to race on a track then these cars are useless coz of the steering. I even tried to mod the steering but then it was still crappy. also, u cant take off the back axel or the rims so u cant change the gears.

    The 1/4 aaa nimhs are good but not worth $30 then the hastle of taking it apart.

    I really dont like these cars at all. sorry if u guys do but I really hate them.

    it would be good to have a race on your track sometime Dave but until then we have a track that takes 38.01 seconds to finish one lap with a 2.2 motor. but it would be pretty sweet on your track dude.

    WARNING, DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE!!!!!

    I bought one about 3 months ago and they suck. The body is smaller the motor is too big, the steering if stuffed and they have ultra hard tyres. Please don’t buy one even just to check it out as it is a COMPLETE waste of money!

    yep, u need sep wires that why I’m thinking power lines might be a bad idea if u want to run more cars. I want it to look as realistic as possible and power lines (the old ones) only have two lines.

    If u want to try out how far your car can go then just get coathangers and join them together then touch your antenna to them. my record is 37 coathanger (fully extended) but I could have added more but thats all I have:)

    yeah that would be funny. and then have the music playing in the background. na, that’s overkill. I’m going to make a Ninja Turtles Van out of one of them and maybe a scooby doo one too.

    I had to yank the red fin off so that I could put the antenna through the hole but now that I’ve made some body copies I can get to work without wrecking the original.

    I attached some REALLY thin wire to the two controller antennas then attached them to the power lines with alligator clips (thanks 8ch Ess Vee
    I never would have thought of using those) so that meens that I have mobility and range.

    Now all I have to do is to port them over to the half finished train track.

    I’ve just finnished the “helicopter crash” scene where there is a gaping hole in one building and another building with a smashed up chopper nesting in it. Looks bloody awesome!

    well it is possible to have two power lines but if u want four then u may want to have two sets of lines. I just bought this old guys model train track which is 10 metres by 12 metres so I’m going to make some roads (and power lines) around it. It’s going to be sweet to race the train through the tunnel.

    has anyone heard of a frequency booster?

    yep, your right Dave. Miniature telegraph poles. It works really well but u have to be prepared to loose the contollers portablity but it’s a small sacrafice. The other day my antenna spung out of the controller when I was doing a mod so I attached a radio antenna but it wasnt getting the range to make it around the whole track so I came up with the idea.

    I still havent got any batts so you’ll just have to wait till tomorrow, sorry.

    I could cut the fenders down or I could put some bigger wheels on it. But I’ll make a few shells of it first.
