I got one. $110 with my Big W staff discount!

The absolute first thing is… HE IS HUGE!!! If you ain’t seen one get out there. No kidding he stands about 40cm at the helm, and he can raise his arms, with them up he pushes 2′ tall!!!

The worst things (so far) the remote is “backwards…” The left-hand side of the remote controls the robots right-hand side. I (and i guess you guys) am used to controlling my toys from behind, but he is clearly designed to be played with facing the user… ewwww…. He isn’t very interactive, I guess I am being a bit of a whiney bitch about it, but I wanted him to come when called, play fetch, shit like that. Another bad thing… he is slow, real slow. LOS controlling sucks too!

The good stuff!!!
It aint all bad news. He is the first RC toy I have ever seen that made me LAUGH MY ASS OFF. He dances, he farts, HE DOES PELVIC THRUSTS, he *CAN* pick stuff up, but is a bit of a hassle walking him into position. It is the only RC toy i have that my mum (bless her heart…) doesn’t hate on principle. He sorta does karate… but the lack of kicking is a bit disappointing.

Overall:
Very impressive 1st generation package. I wish I hadn’t been so damn impulsive, so I could read someone elses verdict on him before i bought it, but these things happen. If I had a little brother, i would happily buy it as either a distraction from my cars, or a b’day pressie for him, or if i had some wild crazy scheme that I could use parts off him for, he is a cheap source of “stuff”. But for me, he’ll prolly either get covered in stickers (or paint..) and displayed or sold on 😉

Now any questions???

Before Whoa Nelly, I was an unattractive micro rc nerd, girls wouldn’t talk to me (other than in court for ANOTHER restraining order), I couldn’t ride a bike, and life was getting me down…

But look at me now, now I have a LXX-z that pulls over 30 kays an hour, all that other stuff still happens, but now I don’t care…

Thank you Nelly, and thank you ph2t

***drum roll*** MOST DISTURRBING FOOD ANALOGY EVER!!!!

Ghetto High?
Any way, I think I have killed the knock off of Trent’s tank I was building, so that can go on hold and i can throw my self at this project.
I was thinking of a basic paddle-steamer maybe, either direct drive or using a tamiya twin motor gearbox, to run the paddles.

I think we just found the next matchstick mod…

[Pork_Hunt]

I guess what i am after is the tinracer of boats. Idiot-proof, tinker-able, and cheap.

[Pork_Hunt]

Geez matt, that looks pretty flash…

[Pork_Hunt]

Mini-z with a nelly and a plasma dash. Pick it up, throw it at a wall, THATS how much damage you will do to it on its firt outing. In one year of stock LXX-z’s haven’t broken a single part, in one day manged to break 2!

Pics, links, etc…

[Pork_Hunt]

or post a toot!

I already thunk about a 2 speed char-g board. The motorized steering put me off the idea, I couldn’t think of a way to intergrate it in to the 3 solderingpoint on the board. I think you would need a h-bridge.

I got mine today!

I beg to differ.
I fetted my old LXX, the mod worked, but the workmanship was poor. It killed reverse, but like i said, it was my stuff up not the mod itself.

[Pork_Hunt]

Stole it from a band, who were forced to change theres. Still apt tho.

[Pork_Hunt]

ken aye , betty k…

[Pork_Hunt]

grumble grumble, mutter mutter

[Pork_Hunt]

Why would you do that man?

[Pork_Hunt]

Opera 7.01
Best damn internet brower ever.

[Pork_Hunt]

Who suggested it’d pick up IR, bet-ster???:smiley16::blush:

[Pork_Hunt]

4×8 Fet-stack, six cell with aluminium knuckles and lowered springs. :p

Now it just needs a suspension mod and some monster wheels…

Yeah count me in! (no 4 day 21st b’day parties that weekend!)

[Pork_Hunt]

Crush gears have 130’s, you can buy an upgrade kit for em.

[Pork_Hunt]

nah the supersonic one off of TE

[Pork_Hunt]

Its prolly the same motor as my little areoplane has in it. I heard that some toothbrushes had them. Not the spinbrush XMOD ones, but another one.
