talldude did you swap the steering plate that matched the lxx knuckles? if you dont you have to shave a bit off the pin.

kero, i only have one lxx but it is better than any compact i have bought why, cos i got it from trading direct, you can get two for the price of one bcg and it works just as good.and you get a decent race shell.
the one thing that isn’t up to standard was the gears so upgrade them immediatly with a tomy gear set.

a bit speedway course like daytona would suck ass,
the banked corners would make steering so much more savage, one tap and you’d be into the bottom wall!

dems da ones surfmystrat, i fitted a set of white rims to go with my white skyline only prob is the rear axle wheels aren’t streight and true!
wobbly p.o.s!
a word of advice, import tuner tires need a bit of a trim as the inside is a b!tch to get over the brake pads…

[z-beam]

those commodores use a motor for steering instead of magnets! i took my ute apart last night and got a suprize.

[z-beam]

this stuff i can get is for theraputic innersoles and maybe they are b’sh!t!ng the customers as they use ovens and a vacuum molding machine to shape it.

thanx for the info panda, i dont think i trust my respiritory protection(decent gas mask) enuff to risk the slow painfull death.

the front knuckles are a trick!

1. using a balsa brick i cut enuff space to fit the original front rim with a hole in the center for the pin to go into. place rim into hole with (white)knucle exposed.
2. use a very small hammer and half of a kit racer front axle cut in half. grip the half axle in a pair of electonics pliers and line the pin up with metal knuckle pin and gently :smiley2: tap the flat end of the kit pin so it knocks the wheels pin out. it is secured by tiny ridges so you need to take your time.
3.when knocked thru use a spair steering magnet to retrieve the steering pin.

this front knuckle removal mod is so usefull for removing built up dust inside the font rims, just remember to be gentle and dont use a standard big hammer, this is the micro hobby SO GET SOME MICRO TOOLS!!!!!

enamel has a hard time without prior sanding (aargh!!! dust) or a use of an enamel primer, the colour spray has a hard time sticking to smooth plastic.

i recomend using an undercoat on any paint job as it greatly improves the look of the finish, especially acrylic. if you are using light colours a white is good but for all metalic and darker tones a black is best. if in doubt a grey spray never goes astray!

3units of art at high school tought me pretty well. suprisingly the opposite on the colour wheel will give a perfect contrast as an undercoat, e.g red under green, the reason being it reflects every available particle of light to the eye( thankyou Monet!!!)

[z-beam]

are they based in the u.s? or australia?
thanx.

8 tooth pinion!!!! i got a pink set with a car called race master tornado and they f@rk!ng fly!!!
the motor might be a new 4.0??? from my xp tho some clones use cheaper parts which creates a bit more power than a standard bcg.
all i know is that gear set is hot stuff, the pinion wont fit into a standard chassis without a bit of a shave but combine it with a clone pink 3.8 and a lightened supra chassis for a winning race machine!!!

[z-beam]

i must agree with surfmystrat on that one! suprize packages are always sweet!

i personaly dont mind the pink end 3.8’s as it’s easy to tone them down with the tomy high end gear set, and using a tapping method on the acceleration you can get the best control out of them.
wouldnt mind getting one of those 3.0’s they sound nice.

talldude in my experience the supra does handle trackwork better than a skyline, simply cos it doesn’t have sqaure corners and it’s front end weight. i drilled two holes in the front where fog lights would sit to allow airflow and to lessen the weight difference. the black supra has an awesome finish, shiny smooth like real duco!

my second preference to the supra on the track is my bit-char-a celeca clone shell. red with white lightning bolts looks sweet as well.
