thanx talldude, im a big fan of the good ol’ shockwave game. quick, free and easy…

[z-beam]

give us some links to pics a.s.a.p please, i am keen to see the quality.

[z-beam]

betty, did you get the url from the picture or the address bar?
i cant see your pic…

in oz we dont make anything like r/c toys so our suppliers get a supply and then try and create demand.

i have found personaly that it is way better to look around (web) and supply your own demand…

small scale importation at the moment (usd:aud exchange rate) is really viable. and when it comes to new things like the micro r/c boats,subs, perfection supercars and even the new tomy supercar pullbacks you could have a feild day with parents wallets at markets.

the key is do some product research and if the price is low and quality is decent then get a dozen in and take em to the local markets. especially if the items are exotic to the australian market they’ll have the consumers wide eyed and ready to buy…

battery world in the phone book, you need to order 10 to get them for a good price… nimh’s are what i got. and make sure you bs em about being able to get them for $5 apeice somewhere else, they are quick to undersell! :smiley2:

i think you can, so long as you link them from your public area, not your private “editable” page.

[z-beam]

you could fit two full aaa cells in there!

[z-beam]

what do you think is better, mine or the official one?

[z-beam]

i’ll say it again…

there was an old guy who tours the markets on the south coast who makes wooden rubber band guns, once he had this huge gatling gun version that held 30 bands with a crank to spin and fire the bands…

sorry, i do waffle on sometimes late at night…

where in oz are you? cos this track sure is fun.
its got an almost perfect balance of technicality and streight out speed racing. you must think ahead in order to get around all the corners (take it wide).

all i got to do now is put some more lines in the parking lot and give it a spray and it’ll be done!
and the best bit is i can make other boards that could connect in different ways, i love mdf!!!

not much difference at all, except more weight at the rear which improved rear traction and ruduced slip/increased turning circle.

i tested it on my sbcg chassis with a clone pinky motor and sbcg red gears (ithink 12:1). i used two types of magnets, one that is 3x the length of a steering magnet and one that was half lengnth in various positions/combinations.

a magnesium/aluminium alloy wheels would be awesome. make them in different widths if possible.

cosmetic stuff like metal bullbars could be cool as well for the offroad/suv bits out there…

suspension/swaybar and the peice that holds the steeringmagnet in alu.
