theres some pics of the camaro in its final incarnation in my gallery… thats if you havent seen em yet.

[z-beam]

betty doesnt take crack…. he is cracked…:clown:

[z-beam]

i never heard of that being done before…. why would you want to?

[z-beam]

bling! thats it… i wouldnt mind some bling on my car!

does bling add any torque to the motor?:smiley2:

your saying silver is better…. well then silver plated moter terminals, would that help at all?

[z-beam]

custom h-plates are the go, i wanted to shorten the camaro so i opted for the chop.

i suggest getting one of the resin kits first and doing that up before you purchase any more, in my experience resin is quite brittle. but as far as detaial goes its the best material for making models with.

as fatr as parts go, get some bearings and wheelnuts from ausmicro (Aaron) and then some nice wide alloy rims and a ball differential.

the video of the steering in action was quite good, many steps but the acceleration didnt show enough steps in power… looks like theyed wipe a bcg off the track tho…

[z-beam]

by the way you should receive them by monday jamie…

[z-beam]

we need these in australia dammit…

and hog, that paintjob still rox!

[z-beam]

will there be any extra postage to pay to get it streight to me from you Aaron?

at the moment my order comes to aud $30.30

but i also need a set of your wheelnuts sent with this…

unless they will be cheaper i doubt they will sell many. that kind of cost on a 1/64th scale car is a bit extreme… considering i could get a iwaver monster truck for 95 aud delivered to my door!

[z-beam]

flamin’ ratfink skeletons! thats the way!

have you thought about putting mess in the front holes you cut? i think that could look great if you got the mesh’s weave the rite direction…

[z-beam]

could gold plated connections on the motor tabs lessen resistance, my mate leo has gold plated contacts in his turntable crossfader and he swears by it…

i got some 850mah NiMH aaa’s yesterday and i noticed they arnt that punchy… i was expecting them to rip but the really are a lot less powerful than the 750’s i got from supercheap auto… for supercheap compared to the 850’s.

troy, dont spend to much on the resin kits, and forget about die cast. plastic is your best bet and you will be extremely lucky to find a kit that will fit the iwaver without some chopping.

click on this link to see a thread i started detailing the processes i went through to convert a 1970 chevy camaro 1/24th scale kit to fit one of my mini-z’s

i sent them to jamie kulhanek today to be fitted with the neccissary parts to be able to run on a z.

are you going to have a go at the speed records ph2t? i’ll get one sent to you if you are….

in the meantime if i find another one do you want me to pick it up for you?

[z-beam]

850mah nimh batts are a definate goer on this one… go nelly!

[z-beam]

lookin sweet betty! you going to do anything else to it?

[z-beam]

the weapon otion parts seem to be far more numerous and common than the motors but almost every stockist of the crushgears should have them or would have had them…

knowing aussie toy distibuters a box of option parts would contain one or two of the motor packs, toyworld or toys r us are your best bet…

[z-beam]

http://www.toyeast.com/v2/proddetail2.asp?pdtid=A05001362 add this for me Aaron, its a rear spring set. $2.50 usd.

[z-beam]

the gt-40 for me…

have a look around stix, you might just find betty-k’s awesome looking modded gt40.

and get your freinds on the site as well!

also Aaron (the sites creator) sells bearings and alloy wheel nuts for iwavers and mini-z. real good price too!

[z-beam]

noooooo not the (gay)batmobile(gay)!

sure its a classic…. but that show was a joke!
i loved it when i was a kid but watchin it recently (my godsons got the movie on video and loves it) it was so freakin camp it wasnt funny…. why did robin always go up the “batrope” first???

love the stealth look!

all you need now is some holes in the front bonnet with some aluminium mesh…

[z-beam]

we need a custom z bodies thread… all ideas.. all concepts …all projects

and lets stick it in the subscriber section!:shock:

[z-beam]

you seen the camaro yet bithed?

im not saying i’ll chop up the batty (if and when i get one) all i need is a longer h-plate and im sorted. lowering the z is easy!

speaking of longer than standard h-plates… you know of any bithed?

[z-beam]

:p:p:p
love it! wouldnt get the readyset but a asb could be a maybe!
