kewl.

“after the events in the middle east went down, the z-team realised that if they wanted security and a future they needed some defences.
so as a homeland defence strategy, the z-camo-Bb
has been refitted to take on any invading forces by adding a 50cal on the back and a towable anti-tank gun.”

“a full report on the green (and brown) machine will be made public in the near future”

ph! dont risk it! if the steering assembly isn’t screwed down the pcb cover isnt secure either.

you can do the nastiest collisions, i forgot the screw with a single cell clone and it smashed into so many peices coming off a benchtop.

[z-beam]

any other models trackmaster?

unclip the pcb cover by gently easing the two tabs close to the rear wheels.DO NOT USE FORCE! this is the easiest way to destroy the steering wires!!!! by applying a little pressure on the front end of the cover you can make this simple.

lift the pcb up with any plastic, wooden or blue tac shape from one side, being super carefull of the exposed wires. there is a screw under the pcb, undo it and the steering plate is ready to remove.

next stick the chassis to a surface with bluetac, raising the front end a little so the nuckles are raised then lift the steering plate from the rear end where the pcb cover clipped into it. now gently lift the steering bar(the magnetic bit) out without loosing the tiny steering spring mounted on top.

(at this stage a butter knife heated in a candle flame should be gently applied to the end of the plastic pin the steering spring sits on loosly, this is called the spring saver mod) dont over do it!!!!!!!

then once adjusted (trimmed) put them over the nuckle parts and re assemble.

mr froggy, may i sugest looking at older technical topics intitled spring suspension. if you have any further problems with suspension check the old stuff before you ask for repeated info.

[z-beam]

good stuff ph! i cant see the movie cos my pc is missing software.:dead: whats the heat sink and motor you are using?

i tried selling some of my wares to mythic realities in prahran, but she waznt very nice…
so do you repair pianos eh?

[z-beam]

the clone motors have a bit more torque than most tomy ones. the pink twisty logos are my favorite.

[z-beam]

those exhausts have decent detail but they look heavy, did you solder them together?

love your rear rims, are they jonny lightning tires?

rip that chunk off the back tho!!! nice cake decoration, jimi dean eh?

gd thats a beast!

[z-beam]

what about about batteries? i know an old set vs. a newer batch can invite rf gremlins.

maybe the 57mhz bits are actually a variant of 27mhz:question:

the new chassis have three chanels on 27mhz and they will race together so it’s possable.

is it the fairlady booster? you might have got a mis made curcuit that is marked 57 but is actually 27, have you got a booster controller?
check if the controller works on the a,b,and c channels of 27mhz.

ahh but ib, the legwork is better than finger skills and once you find a decent hobby store it s like a supermarket of posabilities. there is NO place on the internet like an old fashioned hobby store, and you get to pay and play the very same day.:p

15 minutes is very respectable, wishin i could solder good.

your stuntwork is like dreamland man.this is why you are a bitmaster.:smiley2:

what iwas asking tho is if the dual batts can be rigged for stamina intsead of power, so you dont get the “wheely” effect?

[z-beam]

if a springs diameter is to big u can strecth it to make it less phat. have a go smurfy

[z-beam]

is there a light on top or is it infa red (ir)?

[z-beam]

easy, do a poll about preferred motors. anyone who preferes the 1.0 has got to be old.

[z-beam]

i lost two bits this week,:sad::dead: firstly my blue rex i gave up (it was just a clone!) and my 57mhz chassis dont turn left no more.

need replacement, must have contach…
