the hi-spin motor has a warning:

continuous use for 5 minutes the motor will become so hot it has a danger of burning you and melting the plastic body of the crush gear…

imagine this thing in a z. these motors are designed for use with only 2 aa’s.

i think i just found the new speed king!

i think i should grab a few of these whenever i see them…

has anyone ever contacted this place?

i will tomorrow, to see if they are still open and to get some more info… been a looooooong time tho.

[z-beam]

what other local attractions are close by?

so a late afternoon meetup then?

[z-beam]

well i tried sanding it back, and it got rid of the bumps but also way to many layers of paint.
the choices were to do it ALL again or choose a second colour for the roof section.

the second option appealed to me more so here it is… the finished product!

check out tha dice!!!

did i mention you are a lucky b@stard?

[z-beam]

only going to bring a 6-pack to share around…

thanx for the info guys! so who am i going to get to meet?

[z-beam]

thats awesome betty! i love the tank section, its cool the way you can explore your house from the comfort of the loungeroom.

you did great with the soundtrack, matching the build up with the tank action and then as soon as the track picks up so does the speed!

[z-beam]

so we are meeting up at templestowe then?

who does have a mini-z still?

what other scales do the melbourne crew race with?

can i bring beer to the track?

[z-beam]

absolutly nothing… xcept beer!

[z-beam]

what scale are you talkin kitsune?

if its that bumpy it sounds like a day would be wasted attemting to race! sounds like when i get there (the 6th) i should take every oppurtunity to scope out a nice smooth and big enough racing area.

all we need is a bunch of litre bottles filled with water to race around, if the tracks in melbourne are all suited to larger than z and x-mod scale.

i’ll be staying in coburg at a freinds place, anyone live out that way?

my brother in law is a manager in newcastle, and his family own and run the maccas in kemsey. every member of that family would have eaten their fair share of “free” food over the years and it damn well shows… my sis has got the husband going for jogs at 5:30 every morning:).

i played chase the rat at the maccas at port maquarie with most of the staff last time i past through (we were desparate for dinner:dead:. that was a laugh.

after watchin that supersize me docco im a bit wary of plastic food. watch it i dare ya! the nugget story is the best bit…

and as for chinese food thats as plastic as it gets! xcept yum-cha because that is fresh,tasty and an awesome xperience…

and some of the greediest retailers in the world… some stores put 300% on the silver we wholesale to them:smiley2:.

i always find it hard to understand how they make more money out of a piece than i do. and they just wait for it to sell!

[z-beam]

iwaver 01’s in sydney? whereabouts icebreaka?

those 02’s look promising… but i’ve just got the hang of the 01 chassis and all the spares for them to keep running.

[z-beam]

hey jay-z,

i want an infa red sight on mine 👿

infa-red is invisible/ beyond a humans visual range dude… a laser sight might work a bit better me thinks!

i’ve seen the foam missile firing Multiple Rocket Launch Systems at shops before. if you wanted one of the firing tanks im sure you could get it in no worries, but multiple items might attract unwanted attention…

[z-beam]

bonzer, i said some customers! not me though! the idea of extra weight+power= the momentum and handeling properties similar to a real car.

so what is the expected price of these gizmos?

[z-beam]

hell yeah mocky! is that for real????

[z-beam]

i’ll show you my mess up if you show me yours bithed:smiley2:. me thinks if you went over the lot with more clear blue the exhisting silver will become like the blue you got allready whereas the old blue bits will get darker. and that could look nice.

im determined now to sand back a couple of layers (clear and some transparent purple) untill its smooth and then give another coat of clear. in the sunlight today i gave it a good inspection and i reakon there is to much purple, its making it way to dark.
