no vids yet..

but Friday night racing was excellent..
we fired up the lap timer and it definitely makes it more exciting..

We might put up whiteboard of some sort so we can track our best times and laps.. but other than that we think the software stores all the info anyway.

If this takes off a bit more we can ask the guys to look into hfay (http://hfay.tinyrc.com/) layouts so we can track our own best times and go from there.. 🙂

yes.. managed to get some GP’s shipped locally..

it was VERY fiddly to make it back into a pack.. so i’ll definitely opt for the Kan pack next time..

nice track… 58cm wide.. thats about as wide is the mini96 RCP track’s isn’t it? they always seemed to look wide enough… 🙂
you’ve got my vote for monthly meets :p

yer.. concrete isn’t nice to the Z’s…. but now that you mention clark rubber I think i’ll have to pay them a visit too! I never thought of that place to get foam.. ppl were talking about cutting up those yoga mats.. :p

Howdy to all the Melbourne folks out there…

I landed my AWD miniZ.. I used to go to the miniZ tracks in Mongkok, Hong Kong when the miniZ’s first came out while I was working over there.. now I’m itching for a track…

is there anything happening in the miniZ here in Melbourne at the moment? I saw the templestowe track mentioned a few times.. I’m assuming its the TFTR… never been there though.

Cheers,
Wing

I came across this thread..

http://www.microrccenter.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t39365.html

So the digiQ seems to use the same as the digiQ tanks.
Ie., the two-cell battery pack inside the tank is marked with ?2MR80AAA SH4PNIMH.?.. which is the same as mine when I opened it up..

This thread has led me to find the following sites in oz that have GP11AAAM..
