you got a pool pete? you finally cracked the 1000post mark! (oh god have we come a long way since the days of shypo!))
speaking of pioneering, i fidled with some aluminium bits and peices and made a bodgy heatsink. youll see it when i can be bothered getting out the camera… its gonna make you laugh thats fer sure.
i started to do the exact same thing with the exploded view in front of me. i stopped took another look and thought damn, there has to be a faster way. easy as piss.
have fun with battlefeild matt!
oh hell yeah! first time ive ever gotten a present with an invoice! jo9kes! thanks for the bearings Aaron, ill fix you up soon!
installed the bearing set Aaron kindly sent me. who took an hour to install them? you took apart waaay to much of the car!
if installing bearings just remove the front and rear drive assemblies and pull the shaft out with pliers. the bushings can be swapped out for bearings without going any where near the fiddly pcb board location.
running sweet now. much smoother running ive noticed. i swapped the spacers for the front wheels to the bottome of the knuckle so it sits 1mm lower than standard.
you really need to go and edit that post. just stick a space by hitting the ‘enter’ key in between the pic links.
nice photos guys! i love my awd… they are so awesome…
you wont be dissapointed! this thing rocks stock.

Just another way of extracting 2000ish yen from people.
A.
kyosho are punks! i so woulda got a chassis set if id known, i mean unless yournew tomini-z why would you need another controller and chassis?
what i did need was wheels dammit! the alloy ones look rather nice i must say…
sure do have the gear sets though…
mine didnt *cries some more*
i cry with sad because i no have optional wheels.
this thing rocks out of the box!
ive heard awfull things about the white ones that lik sang sells, aparently the plasic is prone to staining an awefull yellow when exposed to acids in human sweat… only play while wearing cotton gloves…
2.0’s web browser has a bguilt in wireless internet scanner. very handy for finding free isps to leech a connection from…
i picked mine up this afternoon, 2 km walk home with that nice big box. thankfully some hippies picked me up half way!
whaked some batts in it and attached the antenna, of she went!
it handles slipery tiles very well and after a little layer of dust had built up on the tyres the car was able to perform some nice manuvres like controlled fish tails e.t.c
gave me a taste of what will be possible with some more power under the hood and a change of gearing.
i was a little dissapointed with the white skylines body though, some of the details like the door handles looked like they are slightly obscured from to much paint. especially when compared to the autoscale astra i also got in the box the differeces are quite obvious. id like to see the jade body up close to compare for quality…
also the readyset doesnt come with all the extra wheels like the chassis set! now that is plain rude on kyoshos part i think. now ill have to wait for some option parts to be able to run other bodies…
ah well, ill probably want to paint up my own skyline for it now
good to here that the nm motor really gives that little bit more in performance. with the way in wich the caps are placed on the motor inhibit being able to reverse the nm so that the holes where facing the bottom? im thinking of further modifying one so that the holes have mesh to protect the guts of the car. its a pity there isnt much of a gap above it as some ducted air flow could have been possible…
oh damn i cant wait… bloody slow mail i hates it i does!
in a week, or whenever you get them stick a set in an express envelope to the usual adress A. you know im good for the cash…

hmm considering ive been getting used to high speed overland thrashing i doubt it will seem ‘high’ at all! *grins* nothing a bit of custom lowering cant fix i say!
slippery tiles is what i have a lot of here inside. lots of room to practice drifting around.
wow Aaron, that setup sounds mad… extremely mad! i dont want any kind of fets in mine, i plan to keep it running stock electronics considering where the motor is.
maybe if i made a shell that had some serious ducted airflow i might consider hotting it up.
ill take your advice though and give it some time before i get you to create the nm for me…
oh, its got breaking like ol/02 right?
i run my hummer overland with an neo magnet so5 motor (PN) and a light set no worries with stock fets. looks great, drives great… and they are the i-waver light sets. im tempted to get another light set to run 2 at once!
its not in the shop Aaron! how much for the saleen?
sweet, Aarons sent mine today from canberra.. cant wait to give it a thrash…
after looking at the motor set up Aaron, how long untill i can get a so5 nm made up to suite?
4wd needs some more guts than a stock kyosho can i feel… especially after driving the OL for a while now with neo mags… i neeeeds it, i waants it i does!
thanks Aaron! i wonder if i should canabalize a few sets from my 01’s…
2 Shaft bearings are 2x5x2.5mm
8 Knuckle bearings are 3x6x2mm
aperently these are the bearing specifications needed…
got any loose bearings Aaron?
you got yours kev? damn… so its back to bushings eh?
i dont think ill be running mine much untill some bearings arive then i guess…

Z-B:- can you pls confirm or deny that Liberty needs v2.0+ to run…?
Or can it live on v1.50.
sorry panda, my psp is and will be staying on 2.0 so i have no idea if a 1.5 will be able to run it. forums from the states have mentioned it might need it, but some of there opinions i wouldnt trust… thing is, if it does only need 2.0 and nothing higher and there is a downgrader from 2.0 if your game to use it (2.0 into 1.5).
you gotta ask yourself the question, do you use any homebrew? is it as enjoyable as gta?
talldude, tiger electronics are behind the gizmondo. last games they ever made where lcd things like nintendo game and watch, only tiger was still making them when game boys had been around for a while… i used to have their moon buggy game, it was just like moon patrol on really old pc’s and amigas.
it certainly is a step up from those days, and the game colours for it sounds great in concept. only problem is how many others do you think in australia are going to get this device?
id really like to put one side by side with a psp for comparison, but at the end of the day i am really a sony fanboy. they allways deliver for me, the shape ofthe gizmo reminds me of an old controler. i like the adultiness of psp…
and as far as better games, show me one game released here. how can nothing be better than something? i dont doubt there eventually will be good games for it, but for now lets just focus on the topic in my hands. the glorious sony psp system…
i could kev, but id be lying!
Aarons going to have his hands on mine before i do, so now we are all at the mercy of shipping companies…
hey pete, has dave had a crack at the new track on wipeout yet? or is space invaders still the gaming dominator at the moment?
