    not only does running start affect time the surface your racing on will have an affect also… does any body else own some digi-scales that are sensitive to a tenth of a gram?

    shells can vary by up to a gram streight out of the box, so keep this in mind too.:smiley2:

    the leyland p76. dodgy ozzy icon. i think the leyland motor co.produced about 3 different models before the leyland brothers stopped making bombs, i mean cars.

    no pressure… ph2t, do you reckon the new super-g’s extra button could be simulated gears? like in f1, left shift down?, right shifts up???

    possible i think yes, tomy pulling out all fingers? probably not… what do you reckon?

    damn, just read pages 2 and 3.. some of these are protos and will never be released.

    super bits!!?! the article mentions something about user changeable rims:p hopefully they will be standard with sticky wide tyres ala pull back chassis.

    will the third button be speed or break, this is the big question now… maybe it’s a double up of the original boost button for extra comfort?!?!?! hope not…

    looks like (in pic 4) the car has got unclipping front nuckles, or they broke it removing them… those cars are sweet. maybe the tech heads at tomy have worked out they can simulate gears with the same pulse method as the boosters, and that is why there is two buttons!?!?!?:question:

    can we get bithead to translate some of the info?
    love the lamborghini’s, always wanted a contach.

    it’s all a matter of trust jamie!!!

    the familia know that the gifts they choose arnt anything i’ll want/need. so the only ppl who are allowed to get me things are my gf and sister.
    everybody elses buying/choosing abilities are too compromised by ideas of “usefullness” and “practicality”.

    what is practicle about buying stuff that is technically thrown out?

    yeah and all this is without ANY controbution from my dag, sorry i meant dad.

    newbster, i posted details of the paintjob on a thread intitled “the source of the matrix”.

    camoflage needs a set colour scheme, i.e urban,jungle,desert or i.r.a flouro orange.

    better BB pics are on there way, good luck newbster. um anothr way to practice camo is on a peice of paper draw 10 boxes, then one by one attemt a pattern/chaos better than the last trying different rules like, streight edges (urban), curved only, etc

    the rules i followed are in the “source”..

    dave the photos are at bit charg oz not admirals.:smiley2:

    thanks fellas! tha secret of the orange torana scheme is wash’s of ink. the vintage citadel red wash (discontinued me thinks) fills lines and didn’t pool up over the edges. any extra info, just ask…

    so the ute is a success?

    as for the datto can you tell it’s orange!!! two ppl already reckon it’s red!!! my gf reckons i’m colorscrewed (not blind just mixed up)

    i phoned well before the toy fair was on, it’s pretty likely they could change the line up of cars. the 27 and 40 mhz frequency limits suck tho.

    did you see any holden micro rc’s?
