great vid man, i got a movie of me crashing my plane aswell lol.

btw can you tell us how you mounted your cam and how? im having issues strapping it on my plane.

its strange how u stripped your pinon gear

[TallduDe]

well ive stripped my z back to nothing cleaned all the parts added new suspension stuff and negative wheel camber let see if that helps!

ive tested it on my carpet and the the z doesnt do donuts from a start it does tight circles is this a good sign? or maybe not enuff power me thinks?

is the weather gonna be good on sunday guys? and i dont meadowbank need a portable fence to section our courts thats all. i havent found a good area to race round my area guys any susgestions pete?

[TallduDe]

dude im stealing a piece of it! LOL

[TallduDe]

was an alrite day for me yesterday, what follows is a basic run down of what happened for me:

iwaver with nelly ran for 4.34 seconds before developing problems….. fucken switch :angry:

whilest playing with a Z an ex girlfriend came up to me!!!!!!! of all the netball courts in all the world she had to walk onto mine :dead: this is the same gf that broke up with me coz she thought i was too much of a kid LOL.

found out my real z is developing handling issues, me suspects needs a good clean, new h-plate and test if the diff is still holding up well.
didnt even run my monster has gearbox problems!!!!!!

even kevsta beat me in drags!!!!!!!!! LOL
hes werked out his handling issues and ive just got some! hahahahahahahaha

well next sunday ill be there again hopefully with one working car (fingers crossed)

so you got to rewire the switch if your using a turbo on an iwaver. what a hassle man

could you show us how betty? getting the switch is ezy but not blowing it up will be hard!

[TallduDe]

my mates brought a eskie to a swiming carnival and wondered y they got caught! LOL

drinking and driving bits is a must more fun then real drink driving :smiley2:

i should organise a race day here on my track lol

[TallduDe]

lol good one dave, some1 take pics.

damn im counting the days till next sunday now!

[TallduDe]

dude if i made a mini z track it would be 19m long and 12 m wide just like my bit track just 10 times bigger! LOL

kinda kicking myself that i cant make it on sat :dead:

btw my next project is a real car go the datto!

[TallduDe]

a 2.2 is the best all round motor i find for bcg’s but the clone motors in perfections and lxx dont go that bad either.

the mini perfection i have uses a 3.8 motor and with its boost system works well.

depends on what type of race i feel up to so i change motors. i sometimes put barriers across the track and make my bits jump over it they get some cool air time (kinda like josh jumping his mini z over those ramps!).

thanks again for the comments guys, do you see any way to improve the track?

im kinda working on it all the time….
couldnt help myself heres more pics ran out of room in ausmicro gallery so heres a few link

okay bad news for me 🙁

cant make it my cuzin is doing a party or something have to go! i tried to get out of it but if i didnt go i would offend alot of peeps who give me gifts at christmas, so its next week for me real bummer coz i really want to run my mini z stuff on open ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TallduDe]

okay heres another vid i just took

http://www.rcpics.net/view_single.php?medid=33821

if it seems its repeating itself because it is! having issues with the video editor i dled for free :p

how many peeps coming over need a number so i can get the hawaiian style bbq ready LOL

[TallduDe]

to answer the question about the ramp its a 45 degree incline.

it didnt cost me that much and considering it was spread over a year the cost wasnt noticed by my bank balance.

you see i got the table which is the legs of the track for free.
i got the wood which makes the surface for free (was in my bros shed)
i got the foam which makes the barriers for free (found it at the back of a fish store)
and therest of the stuff i got off ebay or was on special at hobby shops :D.

one day all of u guys can come over as long as u bring the beer!

btw heres a vid of my track kinda a on board shot like real touring car vid 😀

http://www.rcpics.net/view_single.php?medid=33803

only runs for 14 secs but remember the cam is on top of a LXX Bit perfection clone!

well for the BCG bits i own i use 2.2’s (fet moded) and it suits them very well. i have used a 3.0 in a booster bit and it was crazy lots of fun :D.

with my zipzap se i use a i think its a 2.2 aswell the se loves going around the outside track but cant handle the bridge that well not enuff torque i suppose.

its lots of fun with 2 or more people racing
heres some more pics


this corner is very trickie if you cut the cicane thing your bit can go on two wheels!



i went a bit crazy with the fake nature stuff :smiley2:

[TallduDe]

yeah i taped one to a bit and went around my track with it, granted the bit went slowly but hey it stilled moved and it still took vid’s!

[TallduDe]

yeah i got one of these things!

they are really cool, i use it as a web cam, vid cam, digi cam and storage thing.

lots of fun already strapped it to my plane, strapped it badly made the plane have very bad flight characteristics which made it crash but it was funny seeing the fotage of the crash!

they are very cool toys ummmm i mean piece of equipment.

[TallduDe]

yeah im interested in this plane aswell, my aerobird challenger is fun but the fact that i know there is another better, bigger plane out there makes me want to upgrade!

im on my last wing for the challenger anyways once that breaks ill have a long and hard think about getting new wings at 40 bucks a piece or a new plane for 270 bucks.

cant wait till i get another calm morning in my area every time ive flown it its been tooo windy and i often crash.

btw pusher aircraft are easy to fly just be gentle on the controls and “pulse” the sticks when trying to turn, i found that out the hard way.

[TallduDe]

saturday?

i thought netball was on saturdays, dats y it was sundays we meet up?

but if its a saturday meet count me in! ill be there for sure, planning to call sick on work that day so im freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😀

[TallduDe]

no way in hell will i get a Jazz! LOL

yeah was thinking of the supra or corvette. ive already put those alloy wheels on it already pete so thats why i need a body which is big enough the focus couldnt fit the wheels.

hopefully someone will bring a supra shell so i can check them out. 🙂

[TallduDe]

yeah his collection gets bigger everytime i see him! im jealous big time

im trying to find the right body ever since i had to get rid of the focus there has been a hole in my life the fd rx7 is great but not enuff room under the shell for what i have planned (all shall be revealed sunday btw) so the search continues

[TallduDe]
