    you’ll be giving dark tari a run for his money soon.

    those rims and that smooth paint job go so well together.

    good stuff!

    suggestions: number plate! exhaust pipe!

    grab some wet and dry black sandpaper for your photos to get the “road look”.

    (havent i seen that bin before?)

    i wouldnt mind some zip zap shells, im a bit missing some chunky shells in my collection.

    that AM shell is cool as, and these new biff’s sound real promising.
    pity i’m sold on the superbit chassis and controller! mr. biff probably dont like the sbcg either.

    whats the tyres on the celica ute? i like the front end holes in the shell.

    yes, even if there aint no prizes, a few comps a year would really keep things flowing.

    i’d be happy with a pic in the random images as a prize.

    could those who moderate tolerate being judges, not entrants?

    the super perfection i have has only two options on the switch: booster and constant.

    if it is a 40c a 57 mhz bcg or clone will interfere with it. this is not the same for a real sbcg.

    brendan have you tried to charge the chassis from a different controller yet?

    also what frequency is it?

    sbcg’s are double the price for a difference. and worth it too IMO.

    agreed betty!

    try the controllable one, otherwise just get a tamiya mini 4wd…

    with a blue kit axle and a red kit idler gear and the 7 tooth pinion you can create a 4.16:1 gearing. i have been using it with the sbcg chassis equipped with a 4.2 and it is running very smoothly. the topspeed takes a little longer to reach than with all blue gears…

    havn’t been able to get any other combos working yet…

    looks cool. what colour you gonna paint it?
    make sure you trim the molding lines before you do paint it!

    why not fill that ugly hole in the back window and make an aerial(?) hole that is less huge in the front bonnet corner.
    also maybe have a go cutting the front and rear vents out and using a hash pipe screen or fly screen cover the holes from the inside…

    sure there is some skill in producing a bcg rocket but really where in the world do you expect to find a big, flat (really flat) surface to get the most out of it?

    does anyone else race their bcg’s???:shock:

    ive only had about 2 hours worth on my new 2 board track but that was enough to convince 2 of my freinds to grab a car for themselves. watching their skill progress enough to get around the track without crashing was a milestone.

    going back to the old test track after the struggle of the big un’ showed that from being novices who could hardly work out left from right are now very competitive within an hour.

    speed is nothing without the skill to control… if you want fast, go buy a rocket kit and launch the f*cker horizontally!!!

    a super bit with a 4.2 from TE works very well with the blue kit gears. im sure it would go better with fets and an extra cell tho…

    i dont need any more speed for racing, so im pretty happy with what i’ve got.

    merc, have a look at an older thread called gear ratios or calculating gear ratios for some more info…

    f*ck the laws of pennsylvania!!! they must brew some poor brew in that part of the country to have laws like that!

    does that mean at a bar you gotta buy a jug? or can you get a glass?

    stout is allright, i dont mind it. i reckon its good but others steer clear of its thickness.
    the english invented a type of beer called a porter that is like the taste of good stout but thinner like an ale.
    you get any brew with yeast still in the bottom of the bottle? we get coopers and its probably the best of the bunch in australia. especially the vintage ale (2 years in the bottle and 7.5 percent alc.)..
