    the yellow engine is a 2.2. i know cos i have a 1.0 to compare it to. poor buggers in japan! a 2.2 goes about 2.2 times faster than a 1.0, and most other bits (import) come with them as standaRd. jnh toys new ozzies wouldn’t have liked going granny pace in their S2000s and Skylines.

    what type of batteries do u use?

    yeah but not toloose. i recon if you could control the slip factor by using some substance that is smooth untill u aply a certain amount friction u might get good results.note that the spur gear loosened to spining on the axle but it did not slide off its position

    icould see them fitting 1.0 motors in them with a battery but guided fireing torpedoes would cost 2 much. does ir work thru water?? anybody got a fish tank and a tv to experiment?? just try and turn on the tv thru the fish tank.

    check mod limit in tech section. my dream skyline has cost me 145$aus.

    no way you can fit all those light mods. and the heat they’d make(without the turbo) would hurt the battery

    certain lighters(bic i think) have hrd springs in them u have to strech the spring to permanatly lessen the diameter of it.

    cain dont you race on tiles some times? adding medium length afx springs stops the car from flipping and loosing its orientation at every bump.

    independant suspension is what its called. i only use the bar with springs because my skyline sits 2 mm off the ground.

    something (not so) big is just around the corner, lets hope it comes soon.

    doesnt tomy make zoids? they are robotic animals i used to own as a kid that they are producing again. if only tomy would forget tanks and build the worlds first customisable battle mech’s we could all rejoice. the mechwarrior licence must be cheap as k’nex (sh*tty lego) have released a 4 mech series that are apalling.

    imagine having robot monster chasing your bit!

    dick smith had them in their catalog, i bought it at a toy kingdom for $49.

    just finished splitting the battery so both my bits are NiMH powered. you know how the last 15-30 seconds of charge slowly fades on ni-cad? the NiMH goes strong on a double charge for at least 8 mins and then stops. emtying the risidual power takes a quarter of the time of ni-cad.

    also the wrx had a switch to turn it of on the car NOT the controller. hope i could help!

    how much fragin paint did u use lothar!? I have a set of scales for gemstones so i know how muchmy skylineweighs exactly, 23.8grams .when i bought it it’s weight was 22.0gms. with the yellow 2.2 motor that came whith your bit i dont think your lack of speed has anything to do with paint, thats unless your an ork,”red makes ya go fasta” or “whoopsi drowned it”.

    What sort of batteries did u use first go?

    lothar grab a hot wheelskit racer set from k mart with an orange motor for 25$. the shells come in handy for bodywork and one of them (silver) has number plate stickers.

    ultramarines and tyranids are my thing. the salamander badge icon and space wolf simbol are some good ideas .

    although the voltage is important the milliamperage (mAh) is the factor to be carefull of. some ni-cads at dickies give 1200 mAh and that is a problem if your still powering your bits on single ni-cad (standard) batteries UNLESS you used energiz%r max or ultra d%racells on the first charge. some thing about cell memory and limitations. the % batteries run at 800mAh supposedly.

    what is cycling?

    I just fitted NiMH cells into my bits and they work great on a double charge. whats the limit on how many times i can charge it in a row with the standard controller?

    too bad. did u have a go fixin it?

    nobody fixes these little guys so if it gets sent back to the distributer they’ll just put it in the bin (sob). cheaper to replace than repair. go and check the stores bin if u want a spare shell for your next car!!

    chris, why would sony bother making a portable unit with palm when the refurbished ps1 with lcd fitted takes all of their 1000’s of games.

    have u seen the new x-men fighting game? or the damn fine WOLVERINE solo game for ps2 yet? check out hyper magazine in oz
