definatly pete, wave 500 in cash in there faces and im sure the would go below the 7.95 mark.

my dads a bit of a tightarse but he taught me the art of buying power. cash is your best freind. quotes on paper are great but dont help if there is only one stockest in australia. speak to the store manager, he knows whats going on and other employees usually havent got a clue about the margins of profit. have a look at the packaging they come in, look for the name of the australian distributor on there if there is one and clark rubber dont import them themselves you could get em wholesale. wholesale prices are definatly what your after at a quantity of over 80.

[z-beam]

will you be offering an instalation service as well like the old fet stacking service Aaron?

[z-beam]

let me know what the prices are, i might be interested in a few as well.

[z-beam]

just watched it then, they look pretty cool, dont know about the fiberglass bottom plate and the servo being in a sealed replacable unit, but time will tell wether these will be good or not!

[z-beam]

those banked corners look hella sweet!

i wasted about $80 on lego track tiles for bits! these foam mats would have been so much better!

[z-beam]

anyone who has seen this can they summerise it for us?

boot up mashed guys. its simple fun that doesnt take even 10 minutes to have total control. and its something to do while the batteries are charging and mr.chong has allmost all your attention… give the ol’s a break at least between battery changes!

(maybe your evil plans include burning out the fets so you can get an upgrade…)

im hoping i-waver 04 have used 5.8mm all over then… there is no way the oil shocks connect properly with kyosho 4.8mm balls.

gawd dammit!

[z-beam]

ill get some pics up on webshots soon of the kit i bought which had ones that fit but really arnt much of an improvement over stock OL tyres…

but yes! if you find em id love to get a set… and i nearly forgot about mashed, have you guys had a go at it yet?

[z-beam]

blank=no rims 🙁

still im happy with it, i just need to find a place that has those larger lego tyres… any luck at your parents place dave?

[z-beam]

so dgs, to attach monster shocks you didnt use 5.8mm? oh damn, i ordered some to fit the iwaver ones… maybe you could check for me Aaron, what size balls fit into the i waver oil shocks?

[z-beam]

ok, its been a month! any shift in price yet?

[z-beam]

thanks for the warning big dave! ill be saving my money for things that dont break so easy!

[z-beam]

no one mentioned that the monster shocks use the larger ball size! ok so i need two sets of larger balls joints (5.8mm)to fit the monster shocks… is this right?! or does the monster use a different size to the two used on overlands?

go on ken, give us the list of parts to convert an overland so it can use the monster tyres!

[z-beam]

awesome track by the way talldude, that one looks like it would be more enjoyable than the other more for looks one. id love to build something like that!

turns out one of my pics was approved for the permanant picture gallery so here it is!

ok since the member galleries wont take any pictures at the moment ive had to go back to using webshots to host a few pics of the hummer i painted. i cant link the pics here so youll have to click on the link below to see the three pics in there at the moment.

in the mini-z gallery: http://community.webshots.com/user/zbeam

i went out to find some of the lego tyres but ended up getting ones that are not that much bigger than the stock pajero tyres… they are much wider though and have excellent grip. no pics of them just yet but ill get some soon… still having a great time with the overland and the ground outside is almost dry enough to get out in the garden with a shovel and start excavating an out of the way spot for a track. i have plans to dig out a nice course into the soil about 2cm deep and then test it with a high speed set up on the overland before buying some rolls of rubber heavy duty matt (like inner tube stuff but thicker with string reinforcement) and laying it into the cut out track in the dirt.

i may get to enthusiastic, but anyways i cant wait to get out the shovel!

[z-beam]

exactly, its similar but different… shows they aint just about riping off others products

[z-beam]

its temporarily cleared up here, but at one stage more than half the backyard was under water!

could you get a pic (even if its from your phone camera) dave of the set up you use with the OL’s?

hope you get the clear weather for the weekend guys! wish i could be there!

[z-beam]

nice to see i-waver design their own parts rtather than copying other designs tho…

molybdinum. Lets see… I”m sure I have some lying around here …. umm

Indium, Gold, Carbon, Magnesium, Palladium, Silver, Bismuth… nope.. not in that box 🙂

Mercury, Berylium, Aluminium, Cadmium, Arsenic… Hmmm… here”s an unlabeled metal ? . Damn… no molydbinum.

ok, you want some then trash?

[z-beam]

lookee what came up in the corner for the google search?!

[z-beam]

indeed, its a lavender coloured mica that can be quite solid compared to normal mica. bi carb soda eh? i scratch some off and have a go…

id like to make a fire fountain that has layers of colour, i have made many before and like you said its easier to make it explode than it is to get a nice high stable jet of fire.

that copper chloride recepe seems easily acheivable, ill give it a go as soon as the weather clears up.

will molybdinum form a chloride if mixed with a little HCl?

[z-beam]

ok i tried mixing molybdinum powder with a combustable powder and it didnt do anything… (well the combustable went up in a flash!)

so what your saying is i have to mix the molybdinum with a little hydrocloric (which i got as well) to make a salt? spell it out for me trash i really want to make some green fire! (thinking of adding the moly salt to a candle and whala green flame candle!)

i also have a few chucks of lepidolite around which is basicly a lithium silicate, any chance of converting that into a salt?

this sort of science is a little dangerous, but hell its enjoyable and really teaches you to be respectfull of these substances.

[z-beam]

wasnt there a purple flame as well? and whats the dealo with the guys in south OZ growing them black bouy plants for there flamamble sap? its used in pyrotechnics so ive heard…

thanks for that list of colours there trash! very informative! except im not too sure about the blackpowder recepre being here!

when you say mix magnesium with say, molybdinum (which i got some nice chunks of in my crystal collection!) how would i convert the moly into a saly and whats the best way to powderise magnesium?

[z-beam]

not sure pete, but someone registered as a member calling themselves username…
