Well here’s the score:
Last week at work my boss (tha @#$%@$%) has been on leave and I had a chance to take this baby for a spin in the corridors and MIS dept at work. My work mates were rolling there eyes on my latest creation since this obsession is sorta known to them(ausmicro is always open at work, *sigh*)….
Well I gotta say this, she’s a real beast! With my EM38 Vanquish and low ratio gear set she’s pretty fast in non-boost mode but when you go into boost, holy freeholy batman!
The range I got inside down the corridors was easily 15m-17m. When nobody was looking I took the car outside (sad) and gave it a spin. I achieved easily what I later counted out to be 30 metres! That’s close to 100ft!!!! The range is insane! NB: It’s a 57mhz LXX Booster combo.
This is where my problems started :dead:.
I was running the car inside, just kicked in the full boost when I lost controll and the car veered under a door into another dept. The problem this time is that it DIDN’T clear the bottom edge of the door. Try to figure out from this picture what took the full brunt of the car slamming to a stop.
The little white coil thingy (also known as a variable inductor) took the full force of the car’s momentum and when it the bottom edge of the door. The coil was lifted off the PCB and one pin had removed itself, not a good thing. Needless to say that I’ve thrown away a few hours trying to fix it up buits she’s got a good time to heal before going pro in the local circuit……
