kero, the aaaNiMh’s sold for cameras at a pharmacy work awesome.

all you need now is a dual motor set up.

how do find the knead it weight?

its a total bit-ch to work with eh?

i like the front esp. the middle shot but the backs a bit messy.

[z-beam]

betty!!! you MUST get the lego chains out!!!!!!

the technics sets contain the perfect solution, gears and chains that you can add and remove the links out of. not to mention the flexable drive shaft systems available for a possible 4wheel drive bit.

very fruckin nice ph… i want a pair of those rear wheels.

check out the linx at the bottom of my post, somewhere in that gallery is pics of my skyline ute, and if your going to have a go i got some spare railway modellers faux tray lining and some fat alu. pipe for a roll bar just for you. :smiley2:

[z-beam]

very nice, but i reckon the seats shoulda been a bit lower. and yeah the rears a bit phat indeed.

what do you mean one of your last projects???

DONT GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[z-beam]

have you used spray paint before twizm? well if you want paper to last and be grippy for bit racing you can use a spray matt varnish and use it normally and give it a bit of splattering by not pressing the button down all the way.

the only way you can tell what i mean is by using a can of crappy spray Paint and trying different pressures to acheive a slight rough surface…

[z-beam]

damn… wish they bothered to release the bit racer parts over here, i saw once a spoiler pack as well….

nice, the pics do look way better down sized. that neon green is one awesome colour.

what sort of vehicle and brand is that silver 4×4? i’d love one if you could get an extra…

[z-beam]

leonli i think the wheels are electro plated, and that shin just dont come out ofa can , man.

the best paints for bits i reckon are tamiya sprays, little cans for little cars…

check out the post called “painting” for more info.

personally tho i find white the absolute hardest to touch up. ever tried to colour match a paint pot with a scratched tomy shell???

that compact skyline of mine was a complete bit-ch in the end.

if your shell is scratched, paint a bit of silver on the inside of the shell and outside where the scratch is, bits should be proud of their scars….:smiley2:

[z-beam]

cool. i got a 49 clone somewhere too. i’ll give it a go as well.

[z-beam]

tamiya clear pink does give me a few probs as well. i.e. no gloss.

nail polish is way too thick but you can find harlequin paint (colour shift) in nail polish for under $20. thinners????? might work, or paint the inside of the shell hachi. make shore you overcoat the the paint inside with black.

[z-beam]

aluminium, is another option. pipeing is avalable wherever hobby train supplies are.

you can fan it out with a small screwdriver.

[z-beam]

i’d definatly pay the extra 10 usd for an original tomy. the shell alone is worth it. a working enzo model for under $40 aus is almost unbeleiveable.

[z-beam]

sorry micro, the 40c (clone)cannot be controlled with any of my three 57mhz controllers (one of which is the tomy multi freq)

[z-beam]

very niiice!

coke can?

[z-beam]

did kong foot crunch the shell?

[z-beam]

peedee: if you can dry brush well do it, i have and it looks great if done subtly. clear coat afterward to protect the art…

‘prezza: masking sux bad, so painting windows with acrylic silver or black after a nice enamel spray like you said is my prefered technique. but just as before give it a clear coat afterward for nice shiny looks.

another tip for sprayers: tamiya coloured transparent gloss’ are an awesome creator of realistic depth. a metalic purple with blue transparent (2 coats) gives the deepest bleu you ever seen. candy green metalic ala my echo (or whatever) with blue on top results in a real nice jade green.

soon to see what the metallic purple with a pink transparent will result in.

i received 4 perf.heatsinks in m last order and the gold ones had a stoopid wide fan shape clip,
the black and silver….perfection,especialy with that nice bending tip. thanx micro.

[z-beam]

the clone does fall a couple of mm short (and in bit terms thats quite a lot). the shells are nice but sitting next to the tomy ones the flaws show through…

me thinks the perfection company have a scam system of getting all of tomy’s slightly faulty pressing equipment hence the extra flash ( excess plastic along mold lines) and off center logos e.t.c. unfortunatly perfection didn’t get any of the chassis molds as a true clone of tomy sbcg’s would have been nice for modding and parts. the rims are nice and shiny but the unclip feature of sbcg aint there.

performance wise it’s the best clone available, but it aint as good as the enzo,contach or porche.

keeping it on permanant boost tho. half speed sux.

micro: the sbcg’s definatly have a litle more grunt in the power department, for steering and drive which is extremely welcome.

[z-beam]

nooooo betty!!!!

the locksmith allready destroys many saws hacking up locks for you…

[z-beam]

yeah thanx micro, that info should be apart of a permanant database on our site…
just to keep it readily available for any newbes (and forgetful like myself ) in the future.

[z-beam]

classic! a toyota engine in a lotus…

[z-beam]

wonder if tomy will bother making non super bcg’s any more? there are so many cars that need to be done…

[z-beam]

does it drain power faster tho?
