didn’t you see that news allready in general?

theyre pretty nice vehicles. but unless we get a general statement from tomy about the range and reception issues being fixed id be wary.
if they are released as pullbacks i’ll get em all.

violence…. robots….. somewhat evil human intellect in control… sounds like a recepe for FUN!

[z-beam]

that shell is so pretty, theres no way i’d use that on a monster!

[z-beam]

would that body fit on a mr01 chassis?

[z-beam]

nice one! whats the angle on the camera?

[z-beam]

hth (hand to hand) combat is way more satisfying to watch and compete in that bb or ir battles.

i’ve seen the gundam bots before and i think they use sliding mechanisms in thier feet to move. amazing detail and features though.

robosapien if programamable could be given complex combat scripts, for ai battles. which in my opinion would be a good source of entertainment.

also modding the exterior to acheive unique appearances for them could be good.

[z-beam]

rm motor mount? high mount/ low mount are the only ones i know of (which isn’t much!)

would you need the motor mount from mr02 chassis to fit?

[z-beam]

a portable electric fence running off d cells only costs about $100 (posts,nylon ribbon with steel wire and the capacitor box), if you keep having to buy new parts it could be a wise investment.

[z-beam]

they can kick, punch and grab and throw objects supposedly. if the batts are in the feet then combat should be possible.

[z-beam]

if you can get multiple channels for these it would be cool to finally get humanoid rc combat bots!

i wonder how good theyre balance is, i reckon if on kicked or punched another one they would both fall over.

trash i would be very interested in knowing how well they perform. at $100 usd they seem a bit expensive at the moment.

[z-beam]

nice, but wouldnt painting it destroy the value of it being a promo item?

[z-beam]

ouch! all i can suggest is bring a tin can car along for whining sissies to muck around with.

the nails, alkyhol and traffic cones sound good too.

i got some wicked 1 inch spikey studs in sydney last time i was down south, they could be attached for some shoe/tyre f*ck-off factor.

did you catch up with that lady and tell her how much she just cost you?

i woulda got that kids bike and run over it with a real car!

[z-beam]

pretty temting bithed! do the crystals and controller from a mini-z racer work with the beast?

[z-beam]

you want my emty beer bottles?

[z-beam]

awesome truck bithed!

[z-beam]

black and white you say… i’ll keep an eye out for it for you.

[z-beam]

jamie, 2 cm would be perfect for a bcg. 1mm would be rediculous but its an amazing acheivement all the same!

[z-beam]

awesome. i want one for my rx-7 bcg!!!

[z-beam]

thought all the tech savvy ausmicrons (resident of planet ausmicro) might appreciate this new type of fet.

the article was about getting around the problems of moores law, you know that theory of miniturization of technology increasing exponentialy.

i would have thought someones made bigger ones than nanometer scale to use in other things, like making z’s that much better! oh well

[z-beam]

i heard about these in may 22nd’s issue of newscientist, i thought they could be of interest… they are called finFETs are they of any use in this application? hope this info helps:

not yet but pull backs of both of these would sell heaps i reckon. tomy would be silly not to.

[z-beam]

but its got the mini-z racer logo on the top corner….

maybe it’s got some thing to do with this.

i could get you a winfield logo, i smoke ciggies and i think theres a perfect size logo on a pack of their rolling tobacco. what colour was it sposed to be (white and)?

after a couple of 6packs of coopers the other week me and a few mates were havin a chat about childhood inspirations, i did watch a lot of macgyver but transformers and ghostbusters were my real favorites.

one mate leo confessed to running around when he was a kid saying he was… bush tucker man!

[z-beam]

without having bearings to test this would a bit of graphite or synth oil do for now? thanx guys.
one more question…

http://www.toyeast.com/v2/proddetail2.asp?pdtid=amm09
in this gear set are there replacement parts for diffs? also what are the other peices for?
