this here should be called the gibberish thread!

whats that sposed to mean pete?!

[z-beam]

with daves barriers all you need is a nice large roll of really low pile office synthetic carpet… the hard wearing stuff thats grippy…

[z-beam]

i can see the 7 tooth rule being very positive now i think about it more, especially when things are getting started…

but, if you are limiting pinions what about batteries? batteries i reckon should be free reign (so long as its still 4x aaa’s) as it is up to the racer to create strategies based on power e.t.c. there wont be any weight difference like real racing but if you are going to have say 5 races (of a set number of laps)of class “a” changing batts for each race could give you an advantage… so maybe 2 sets of batteries (or one change of batts) for each class could make this work out better…

also if a wheel falls of or any other brakedown occurs would you let the owner have untill the start of the next race to do the repairs?

they would obviously forfeit that race…

im a male tauren hunter, pet bear and i skin/leatherwork…

the names sittingbull…

dave, thasts the stuff! get your guys together for some serious racing… after getting it down you could then as a group go down to compete with these other clubs in sydney and show em up!

as far as classes goes, work out what everyone has as a minimum requirement so no-ones left out and go from there.

so long as its stock internally and everyone has an x-speed then the extra bits are up to the racer… any pinion that comes with the ready set should be allowed as some racers might prefer to have a bit more acceleration rather than top speed. if i remember correctly your track only has the one big streight so a mixture of pinions could make it interesting…

[z-beam]

indeed the netball courts and daves track compared to that one are a world apart, but at least you guys have a track!

ken, do you know of any clubs in brisbane that race mini-z?

[z-beam]

huh? what you trying to say novin?

[z-beam]

yup i second kens statement about the i-waver x-speed and x-speed pro motors, they will burn out the fets of any stock kyosho mini-scale car…

you had that experience as well hey ken?

[z-beam]

i play on a roleplay server in warcraft, so ill try my best to decipher novins statement…

“female tauren (a humanoid based on minotaurs) are hot (attractive) oh my god”

did i get it right?

sorry about the name mispell!

nice track if only we had one place in oz which had a track like that!

those guys do have skill i couldnt go that fast straight up but im sure if i had enuff prctice i could :smiley16:

practice? what have you guys been doing each sunday when you meet up? daves track would be great practice, i only got a small taste of competitive mini-z racing that day but ive been hankering for it since…

why dont you guys in sydney set some guidelines up for the next meet so you can all focus on your driving rather than worrying about how fast you can go? your sure to have a great time if you put the effort in! what do you reckon dave?

[z-beam]

FD it is indeed!

looks so damned good driving around at night with the lights out…

thanks again for that little trick of yours to get the lights to stay on when the car is at a standstill, very handy for driving in the dark and taking photos!

[z-beam]

*laughs @ nivin”

your missing out with warcraft, the female tauren are far more scary than the appealing night elf girls…

[z-beam]

thanks hakhawk!

so when do you want me to send it to you pete?
pm me when you get a chance!

poor dave! this newer model rx-7 is so much better than the old… drives like a dream with the foamies inside! its become my favorite z!

[z-beam]

im going to give these new pn roll shock mounts a go without a topshock , they look like you can get a nice angle on both sides so i wont need the topshock…

im hearing you though betty, id love to own an oil filled one. they would have to work better than the spring on its own…

[z-beam]

i love it talldude! thanks for showing us that…

the mostinteresting cop car colours ive seen where in victoria along the great ocean road… silver with flouro orange and sky blue… intense colour scheme that really stood out!

[z-beam]

i could understand who was winning untill the camera guy started to track on the non leading racers… then i noticed the second yellow/red car! they where both leading it by the end!

would love to see that in better quality video with a proper ending showing which racers one e.t.c.

[z-beam]

keep it up! looks like its ready for primer!

[z-beam]

sorry about the multiple posts, im trying to dodge the dreaded timeout bug!

heres a final shot of the two together and two pics showing the sprinter-oni on its own…

ONIDEMONU!

[z-beam]

i got some piccies now of the sprinter before it gets its coats of clear to finish it off along with my new rx-7 with light kit installed. the number plate on the sprinter reads oni-666… ask bithed what oni means if you need to…

ok Talldude, i sorted out the case for your skyline to protect it and to add to its appeal. it works just the same as an autoscale case so inverting the whole thing wont even knock it about… theres a small screw attaching the pullback chassis into the bottom plate.

[z-beam]

so are they available for mr01 and 02’s?

[z-beam]

how thick is the vinyl though dave?

[z-beam]

sounds like a great alternative to the hotter motors they nhave allready, and whats these new sealed bearings like?

[z-beam]

amen ph2t, i got my set of the power foamies today and they make driving on my smooth tiles inside fun instead of purely annoying…

no more spinning out!!!:D

[z-beam]

i have very smooth tiles on the largest open space in my house, and from experience the softer the tyre the more grip… but the softer (stickier) tyres pick up more dust than anything else and become useless at gripping the surface… the harder compound tyres work better because they need less cleaning and stay just as grippy from the biggining to the end of the run…

today my order from the ausmicro shop arrived and in it was a nice new rx-7 Autoscale body and a set of power tyres foamies, these itailian made rims with tyres attached have done more for the performance of my z’s than any other purchase!

if you have a nice space at home and are sick of your mini-z spinning out because the surface is too smooth when accelerating then get your self a set of these fantastic tyres! you wont beleive what youve been missing out on!
