for me i like to be able to pull a car out and pop in some fresh batteries and rip it up. the nice big cement patch outside gets covered in little bebbles from the driveway and im usually to lazy to sweep em off before i can drive on it so indoors is a bit easier. unfortunatly the best open space is either smooth tiles or smooth polished cement, which a 2wd car just doent handle to well on so the awd is my choice of quick fun.
sure the design is imbalanced compared to the 02’s but i never had an 02 so its a huge step up in performance and design for me.
drifting is entirely possible with low gearing on a low grip surface, and what used to be a spin out of control with a 2wd is easily recovered with power to all the wheels.
welcome back guys. the awd’s are awesome, they handle amazingly out of the box in situations that a 2wd one would be impossible for e.g slippery floors.
great fun!
very nice indeed! where in victoria are you, i usually come through the whole of nsw and vic once a year at least and would seriously love to have a crack at that!
last time i visited you in canberra i think you mentioned something about this… well, im sure youll be keen to move on and get on with the future freind!
as far as emplyment options goes, emma is on the lookout for reps but not for at least 3 months. depends on how much traveling youd be happy to do and if you could handle commision based payment rather than a weekly regulated salery. from the ACT you could easily covor southern NSW and victoria.
does this mean ausmicro will go down? shall we be on the lookout for more options as a community to help out more and to pull our weight a little better?
hmmm very interesting… for the majority of my kitchen tile drifting area this might be fun to muck around with…
it limits power so that the front wheels have power going forward only? i dont get the point of an item like that..

A.
fantastic to hear, i want a set for a project im working on. if you do make an order from TE at all Aaron, please let me know as there are a few other things id like to pick up…
the wheels fit well Aaron? id like to hear your opinions of thier gear.
are the new cars nissan pulsars?
and i really want a set of the i-waver rims some of theyre designs are really nice.
zig heil!
long live betty!
yeah, id need to change the can of the pn motor. but i dont want to wreck my stock kyosho awd to get a proper sized can…
February 23, 2006 at 8:31 am in reply to: iwaver’s.. are the parts really compatible with miniz’s? #49857stock i-wavers it is then, but beleive me the racing is much funner with quality. less fiddling and more racing…
how many of you are considering getting started? if you all intend on keeping at a standard then keep the upgrades equal.
February 22, 2006 at 4:40 pm in reply to: iwaver’s.. are the parts really compatible with miniz’s? #49860if your racing for quantities of ale then get serious. encourage freinds to go the bog standard i-wavers and then go the full throttle and buy yoself a kyosho awd. trust me, garanteed free beer untill your buddies wise up and upgrade as well…

har! i really hope your being sarcastic! riding the rails was the most craptastic way to get around my bcg tracks… and also the best way to ruin paint jobs and drain the battery fast…

sorry ken, it doesnt look as good as the rx-7!
but, does it handle better?

that is rather expensive ken! i dont think i could warrant spending $50 aud for a set… i guess ill have to wait and see about the cheaper i-waver alternatives…
whats a set of those tugu rims worth ken, i dont have any japanese skills whatsoever… some of them are very nice indeed!
id like to know how expensive they are in comparison to the i-waver alloy rims for AWD being released.
also, im still very keen to get a part next time you order (the kyosho titanium drive shaft for AWD).
also, apart from kyoshos x-speed for AWD is there any other motors available for the the awd yet? i tried fitting in my pn motor but it seems to be a little to big to fit into the motor bay, and when i compare the motors the awd one seems to be a little slimmer than normal ones…
alo these light kits look awesome, totally unecisary but awesome!
those pics above prove the superiority of style that the mini-z format provides. performance and looks, all in the one package… i love it!
lazy buggers… well they want prizes without doing anything… oh well!
indeed i did today ken! thanks a heap. the cambered knuckles are great, im getting far better control in my drifts in the kitchen. ill be needing some more power now me thinks to go any further with my awd.
the drift rims are a little to slippery for my tastes, dgs asked me on the phone what they were like compared to the autoscale tires (the sets that come with autoscales) and well, you may as well compare them to the plastic the chassis is made from.
id go as far as saying they are harder than mr01 or awd chassis material. so i gave them a rip on some full batteries on a real nice big flat clean cement and tarmac surfaces today and im a little underwhelmed. they are like driving on ice.
so off they go and the awd stock rubber comes back on to the new 4.5 degree kyosho knuckles. with bearings and some slight adgustments using the spacers ive set this beast up to perfection. the stroke limiting rings (tiny ones in the set) placed on the bottom of the front knuckles its dropped 1mm in the front, while the back i adjusted the spring tension with a pair of the larger rings in the set.
id really like to get a titanium center shaft next and add some more power using a neo mag so5. im a bit worried that ill snap the capacitors off it by bending it though…
thats wild, is it from a static kit you built from scratch or an autoscale? either way it looks awesome!
har! poor disk!
i managed to scrounge up an original ps1 for $10 last week, combined with original comand on conquer red alert and 2 tv sets and the other ps1 were gonna have some fun…
ah the joys of vintage gaming!
and what was the point of those gold chocobos? was it racing?
ken that rx-7 looks really nice on the AWD… kinda inspired me to patch up the one i have!
and that alloy looks real swish Aaron! i like it!
