Z-BEAMS VARIABLE SPRING SUSPENSION MOD:
when you first start making spring suspension there are bound to be a few too short to do any thing with. so what i worked out is that by cutting a spring at the desired lenghth you can wind the other usally wasted half (or shorties) on to the cut end of the spring. just make sure you have springs with double complete ends otherwise youll need 2 pairs of springs.the difference is smoothness. on bathroom tiles the gaps of grout used to bump steering off and loose speed but now it is better. also on a smooth surface (like my track) it hugs the road like a magnet.
shypo what sort of paint? i used humbrol metalic blue.
i made a spare parts trailer for my Bb last night out of k.i.t spares and some railway hobby suplies. could you buy the 3.0 of the shelf like the k.i.ts?
my s2000 has the hard suspension and a nimh cell.the only other thing i’ve done to it is lightening the chassis and shell by shaving layers with the stanley. on the digi scales it weighs in at 22.0 grams. those springs make a difference, i swear that tomy should have made the wiring a tiny bit sturdier and had spring suspension as a stock hop up like gears e.t.c.
um guys sorry but unless you have some weird batch or somethin those afx springs will be pretty damn useless (bar cosmetic) if you cut em in half. for starters only some springs are identicle on both sides=differing tension.the perfect length is a imposible cos there are different uses (as in the real deal). have a search in the old pages for info on susp. springs
i’ve fitted 5 bits with spring suspension one of which is hard custom springs from a lighter.dont bother with this one, a double or triple layered spring does the same.
shypo have you had a go painting the sprigs? looks sweet if done well.
one more thing, the cut uncomplete end of the spring should be wound around the nuckle so that you have even contact between the steering plate and the tops of the springs when assembled and pushed down.:8ball:the cheap ones just get smashed to peices in seconds! i watched a fight on austar today and one contenders weapon was a chunk of wood on a stick! what a looser! I totally agree shypo titanium alloy and Rock saws are very expesive.:evil:

i’ve been too busy with my actual bits to post much since “the days before the crash”. what the hell are Rep. points and who has the power to give me points?!! where can i exchange my gold for items? is this like wonder boy or something. spam is bad but community is good and we need to talk sh*t sometimes. by the way kitty are you still the only girl on planet ausmicro? how does it feel?
the standard bcg pinion gear has 6 spokes
a kit racers got 7
but my oem special ed.loctite zexel’s got 8 spokes
i’ve had to cut at my bcg’s so that any pinion can be used. i also use flat tipped screws to balance the angle of the motor. this is how to tune gears to be loose (no brakes) or tight (hand brake). can you buy the 8spoke special ed gear sets?mr mondo slow down. when nobody would get me nimh cells i turned to the enertech car. it has 2 1/4 aaa nimhs instead of 1x 1/3aaa nimh. the battery in a bcg is 1/3 aaa ni-cad. those smaller capacity nimhs charged fast and i used them( had to make extensions to the terminals) and abused em.
the reason the car sucked was indeed tuneable. the steering sucked because the spring used to center the steering is about 3 times thicker than bcg. AND it has ultra hard ribbed tyres front and back.
the controller did work (49 -40mhz) and the range and power out put of the enertech racer was refreshing, i could drive the little suby from one end of the motel carpark to the other.
if you do buy one tune it dont hack it kike i did. oh yeah the shell DOESNT fit without modding. bcg’s all have 2 doors but the enertech has all 4. the nimh cells are in sleeper form.
once modded though the wrx looks better than a tomy one.:)happy new year everyone that is left. where did you get the pull backs from shypo? :p i want all the nissan ones. how much where they?
where is everything? so many topics have been taken away skylines are the best bit i must agree
after reading your post i feel stupid jamie, i bought an enertech racer and it had two nimh cells standard ( 1/4 aaa instead of 1/3aaa) and its steering sucked cos it had a thicker steering spring, maybe it would come in handy. alternatly add a second steering spring. have you fitted any spring susp. in yor turbobits jamie
you arnt serious are you? um its a booster that might be a problem to you but thats the way it is supposed to work. press the button and boost.
nice idea evo. might have a go at acradle of filth tour bus
sounds like you have a few different problems and each needs to be treated individually. ok when you say clip doyou mean the metal heat sink or the black plastic tab on the chassisthat the shell and the heat sink secure onto?
what sort of bit did you buy? sounds like its a cheap clone. what shell did it come with and are the windows clear or not?where abouts in canada are you?
IF you have any crystals or minerals ( yes rocks from the ground) that you have found in canada that you can identify i will swap you a set of gears/axle for some.
has any body seen rumblerobots? they are much bigger than combat q check em out at http://www.wumblerobots.com. they are releasing a range called rumble wars that looks very promising: infa red control that can switch between controling the tanks or operating a gattling gun mounted on a base!aswellas being larger the tanks also are different by having Five blast away armour zones! there is also a jet available but it looks like the only thing it does is move its wings a little. the base has four army men laying prone on as many platfoms that fling the soldiers off as they get hit only in america at the moment though (bummer)
i bought two robots at kmart ‘ lug nut and bolt man and about 60$ worth of cards for them. instead of a chip with set attributes you use cards with barcodes to define speed,defense,lasers,punch and power level. at first i thought it was a scam but after many battles im sold on the idea as there are so many variations possable especially when you are limited to 3 cards per battle
shypo could you tell me from your experience which range mods achieve the best result and for the newbies out there a brief description of how to do it.
the dick smith (enertec) car went about 12meters before the signal dropped out. it had a telescopic antenna (gonna use it on my skyline eventually)
thanks
i just found some awesome metalic blue paint to paint the springs. gonna try tonight painting some afx springs. lazboy what springs did u use and do you own a beamer?
bcg are deformed 1/64th scale
cheers for that one
does the turret turn?
yeh shypo supposedly 35, 45 ,57 and any other non standard freq. can effect communications and heart monetering gear. not to shure on how much it affects them though im sure a little bcg is isnt going to have the same effect as a stadium blitzer or some other large scale r/c.
the way i found out about the fine was ina shop in melbourne, the owners had bought a 100mhz microphone transmitter that could cut in over the com net of any sporting event or concert. they took it to a cricket match and within 15 minutes of turning it on they were arrested and fined!!!
