“I feel bad for those who are not solder/electronically skilled to change over the FETs themselves.” yup, thats me!:angry:

the toyeast site shouldnt advertise like that… its bad! lucky i have a great online community i am a part of so that i can get this stuff sorted out… do you think kyosho would give a rats arse if i blew the fets through a dodgy advertised aftermarket motor… i dont think so…:dead:

[z-beam]

mine is received! pretty fast considering it wasnt sent express… thanx Aaron…

[z-beam]

the superbits where a huge let down….

mini-z became a real favorite for me, the scale is great for painting and driving them gives me grat enjoyment…

[z-beam]

hope you fellas had fun!

japan made pete? i’ll definatly take it then!!!

p.s. where my pm reply pete:smiley2:

those energizer 850’s are piss poor chinese merchandise…

i have a few (4x aaa’s) and i was ripped off…

have a look at the current line up of photographic batteries… i purchased a nice set of japanese “kodak” batteries for the same price as the energizers (made in china) that are 750’s and punchy as hell compared to the 850mah chinese energizers…

japanese forever baby!!!

[z-beam]

what sort of project were you thinking of ‘prez?

[z-beam]

if you have a peak charger allready (like myself!) i wouldnt bother with this set up.

and from experience japanese batteries are ALLWAYS better, kodak 750mah are my favorites…

[z-beam]

what where they out of stock of?

[z-beam]

that websites a bit shonky, half the links are dead.

the second link works great however.

hey talldude, make some pvc’s for your zz monster! im sure that wont make as much mess!

[z-beam]

what sort of batts are they? i have seen them advertised on billboards but no info was there as far as NiMh or ni-cad…

[z-beam]

looked at the pakaging before throwing it away today, it said 1/24th scale… no wonder the viper body was so damn big…

sorry guys!

[z-beam]

it was all good fellas! it was great to meet ph2t,betty and kitsune. woulda been good to meet more of the melbourne crew but im sure the hobby will still be strong for the trip next year! hopefully i’ll even get down there earlier…

my mr01 is one tuff b@stard surviving all that punishment, on a track as big as templestowe i think i caused more damadge to my own car in one afternoon than in a whole year (nearly) of owning it…

next time your there guys check out the car park of the nursury across the road… smooth as the track and nice speed bumps/jumps for the madforce!

it was made by a company called hua peng cosmo.

i had a closer inspection today comparing the viper body with a kyosho rx-7 i have, and boy is that viper big! i can almost fit the rx-7 inside the viper, i dont think thats a good sign!

still havent had a go with it yet, but i will probably use it for mucking about more than anything… and letting freinds practice on before they can get theyre hands on the real thing!

kero, the rear spring shock could be modified to fit the z,the red plastic wheel nuts should fit and maybe the front knucles and the weird looking h-plate might fit as well but i havent checked the diff yet or any other close comparisons because im packing up all my gear to make the long haul home in time for christmas.

dave, not home yet! and dial 1223 and get the number for your local toykingdoms. its a franchise set up but im pretty sure all the stores choose there own stock so you could get lucky.they have stores in n.s.w and queensland.

sure is tough! thanks to my “twilight stealth” paintjob on the wrx (tamiya undercoat) betty ran streight up the back end of it at full tilt sending the rex flying. it wouldnt have been so bad except the rex was sittin dead still on the finnish line while i was fiddling with a ciggy…

one front knucle and a bodyclip got done in! easy fixed/replaced…

betties x-waver can definatly hold its own, and speed wise was quite impressive. 4wd is a great change to 2wd on the track, the added traction sure does make a difference.

and finally, templestowe is an awesome track. if your ever in melbourne and want to test out your r/c’s give it a go! having a super fast z didnt seem anywhere near as good untill seeing it work wonders on a track of this size and quality…

[z-beam]

i’ll be seein you guys tommorrow then!

[z-beam]

very funny… go watch it now…. and then have a look at angelina jolie!

[z-beam]

the mustang is getting top votes

[z-beam]

stick on teflon? sounds cool!

[z-beam]

havent got the charger on me right now, its packed up in the car but it takes an hour to charge them up.

[z-beam]

i bought a set of the aaa energizer 850’s thinking they would be sh!t hot. and indeed they did get rally hot! i have a peak charger and the first charge was finished in about 30seconds… it took a couple of times of switching the charger off and back on again untill the batts where fully charged up.

the packet said something about “new technology” “no cell memory” but for them to only charge so little says to me they indeed had a memory.

they sure have lasted a looong time. not so punchy but the power definatly just keeps on coming.

hows your set going betty?

also i reccomend kodak 750mah nimhs.

[z-beam]

the mesh! we wants it! we want to see it!!!

[z-beam]

pretty good for the first flames youve done bithed. whats happening with this body now?
