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.

aluminium wheels of different designs. my super bits need super rims!!!

maybe aluminium steering arms and steering plates(the peice that holds the front assembly together).

bcg tho… not many zipzaps in oz.

earth to water???

my girlfreind emma said that too. thats why all that green is now brown, with patches of grass and a few pine trees. i hope to have a few new pics up later today.

i want to do a nice cliff/elevated track with beaches and stuff next. i live near the coast so i want to reprazent my local area with a tropical feel track.good looking water can be made by mixing blue ink with pva glue.

[z-beam]
