smp: whats your favorite car to drive?

racer9, that “wheee!” track of yours is kinda challenging. whats your best time?

[z-beam]

racer9: how do you grab screen shots mid game?

[z-beam]

thats the first thing to do lotsa! i find i only get interference when the power is low.

and thats with only 2 outa three of my sbcg’s.

[z-beam]

sounds like we should be watching the sweedish version! our stuff is way to tame to warant watching it all the time. allthough uplate has been good enough to replay the decent bits of uncensored for us……

i want sweedish big brother lezzies.

maybe we should get all the blokes voted off, and then send the remaning girls some rubber gifts via emergency airdrop….

[z-beam]

thought youd all like it! its practically digital bcg. i love the pit crews….

Racer9 :right mouse click and drag the objects that need rotation. that one took me a while to get too…

the water level can be edited in the track properties. adjust map h and smooth are the tools for creating terain features.

lots of bourbon, pass z-beam please. when i was havin troubles with my log on (damned cookie monster!) i had to make an extra log on called z-beam and coke.

that and samuel L Jackson in the cavemans valentine ranting about the green z-rays some dude called stuyvesant shoots all over new york making them infected with craziness.

[z-beam]

you started this thread, so why start another one?
i posted the last reply about creating a new ratio, so why not continue where you started…

anyone ever had a look at the mad-max like vehicles in pig hunting magazines before?

i’m not to sure how serious other countries are into this redneck passtime as us aussies. go use a newsagent as a library for ten minutes and check one of those mags out.

i reckon an all aussie bush basher would be a nice theme for a comp.

that track comp would be cool as well.

[z-beam]

did you check the distance with each small adjustment? sounds like you went a little too far with the reciver (i think its called a pot, short for potentometer). that thing is very sensitive so have another go but be very subtle, and once you get reception walk away one step at a time, if you loose it by distance or adjustment you gotta be more carefull.

[z-beam]

are you trying to acheive speed or power?

have a look at the older gear threads merc, i’ve done a few odd combos myself with kit gears.

heres some more info…

they use co2 gas to fire ballbarings. sounds interesting…. maybe a real r/c tank could be made from the same equipment…

[z-beam]

these things are actually firing! i want to know more… especially if the equipment is comercially available.

[z-beam]

sounds real nice! thanx!!!

[z-beam]

are you trying to use it with other cars? near sources of metal?

there are many things that can interfere with small radio equipment so try a different spot in your house.

you can increase the range (none of my 3 are that bad) by lifting the pcb and cover and get the cars antenna to stick out more. a lot of its length is wasted inside the chassis and in the pcb cover clip.

are your batteries new?

[z-beam]

true evo, i run a supposed “king perfection 4.2”
in my monster super bit and i get at least 5 meters out of it.

it goes really well. and does decent jumps and it hasn’t had any electrical mods done to it at all.

after using a sbcg controller for a while the bcg controller feels so crappy.
its like a playstation controller Vs. an atari 2600 joystick!

charg-man, are you in a city or town or out in the countryside?

i live 2km out of my town, where there is no mobile phone signal and the only time i get any problems with any of my cars is when someones useing my cordless housephone.

when the power is low, and when u drive too far it does keep going. which does get annoying sometimes. one out of three of my sbcg’s has NONE of these problems, it is a 27a.

and as far as racing goes, out of the box an sbcg will beat the standard everytime.

[z-beam]

the koalas are noisy bastards. their guts are full o0f eucalyptus leaves that ferment this makes them consantly pissed.

[z-beam]

thanx guys!

betty, its street legal:smiley2:so i reckon your monsters could whup my pretty bits ass.

brendan, i couldn’t have done it without my warhammer paint and modelling skillz.

and merc, the front springs actually do have an effect. they push down on the sway bar. so the front has three sources of suspension.

heres a pic under the shell.

[z-beam]

did the pic work for everyone?

heres some more.

[z-beam]

the controller is another factor. the sbcg is by far superior.
independant buttons, better switches, an improved charging plate and telescopic aerial make for a big improvement over the box-like original controller.

if you do have a lot of freinds and are intending to build tracks then sbcg is the winner also. bcg has 4 frequencies (27,35,40 and 57) where as sbcg has 6 (27a,27b,27c,40a,40b and 40c).
and if you have ever been a collector in your life of any sort then you might also consider that collecting multiples is a bit of a waste.

the shells and chassis are a vast improvement in the sbcg range, far more detailed.

the sbcg and bcg both use the same parts, although the ease of switching front rims on the sbcg is a matter of unclipping Vs. having to remove pcb cover, lifting pcb, unscrewing then dissasembling front end (dont loose the steering spring!) swapping the new front wheels in and then reversing the whole process.

sbcg official upgrade kits are available and contain more than the bcg kits do. there are two types, speed and technical. they both contain a mix of parts i.e the speed one has gears and suspension. bcg kits come in four varieties: tires,motors, gears and suspension.

hope this helps…

i added some flags to the back, decals are new.
