Having a goodish car does help too though... It will help me to know that my car can keep up though, ITS ALL IN THE HEAD[

I dont know about you guys but i love old rc cars that friends have given to me, or if i have found them in a garage sale, they great.. fun once you get them going too[

I got a TA02 BMWi STW, and i decided to go and race this weekend, first time on road... Do you think it will keep up with the newer cars of today like the tt01 and so on. Its completely stock and will obviously be racing against other stock cars, but could it keep up, i know its quiet heavy.. and i also know its up to the driver mostly but will the car manage??[

Yeah, well how thas about R35, not too much but id rather save it for something rc, just kidding. i have recovered, with an eye patch... and cant judge distance with it on my one eye, so i cant really drive very well right now...[:I]
-
well considering im only 15 and I blacked out for half an hour, also the doctor had to dye my eye.. im good. never felt better. and yet after all that, I came straight back to stripping the paint, which is still not off yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![

Just some friendly advice. If any of you have tried to clean paint off polycarbonate bodies or are going to try to do it with Costic Soda, DONT!!!!!!!!! Ive just spent 2 hours in the emergency room at a hospital, having my eye flushed out with 1 litre of sodium chloride, and trust me on this one, a drop stings like ****. It is the worst, and most painfull thing i have ever experienced!!! dont do it... Just some advice

Is that the one that you have to adjust with the tamiya spanner?
-
Have any of you guys ever tried to mold your own plastic parts and turn them into alluminium? Ive been thinking and i can get the alluminium melted and poured into the molds, but what could i use to mold the stuff like rims or shock towers?? any ideas?[
] -
yeah thats what i meant...[

which screws do you tighten though to adjust them? theres like 40 000 screws in them!
-
well then whats the advantages to ball diffs over gear diffs?? why is the price doubled?
-
Are ball diffs generally harder to turn than gear diffs or have i set it up wrong??? cos mines very hard to turn...[

Im not one thats into pinion gears... confuse me.
So can someone just straighten all this out for me?
When i go to the hobby shop what do i ask for?[
]? and do you think they will have it?[] -

I got like maybe 15 'dead' battery packs, but im not sure if all of the cells in them are dead.
The problem is it wont let me charge them to test each cell to see which cell accepted the charge, i have a peak charger and it just one charge them, so what do i have to do to test the cells?
i only have a 4-7 cell charger, so i cant charge 1 at a time, what do i do?[

I HAVE A NO NAME BRAND CHASSIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![
][][][][][][][][][][] -
right, i read it all. and now know the entire history of the manta ray, BUT i still wanna know where i can find a carbon fibre chassis Mr mastermind?? That page that you gave me to read still confuses me though. It says that the TA01 and TA02 etc, were made from the manta ray chassis. So my question is what is the manta ray chassis called?
-
Do you know the website where this is available?
I dont really like my local hobby shop... No offense ......!
I thought it was a TA01 initially but you would think your hobby shop would be correct...
-
[
]Right.
I bought a Blazing Star...
They guy at the hobby shop said it had a TA02b chassis...
I never heard of this, but i agreed...
NOW people are telling me it has a TA01 chassis and which ONE is it?
The guy at the hobby shop showed me a touring car and he said it looks just like this one. Ive been on the tamiya websites, and all that they say, is that its a '4WD BUGGY' chassis. Which doesnt help me, so WHICH ONE IS IT?[
] (which ever one it is, theres not very nice hop up options for it. No carbon fibre or anything... anywayplease help me guys?[

Is it possible to make a brake light kit, didnt understand a thing about harness's and PBC's and what else... Any simple but effective way?
-
I have a Team orion Rush 17 turn motor, I just wanna know if it would make a big difference to turn the endbell and make it faster.. Is it worth it? i know my battery wont last long at all. If so which way do you turn it? if u facing it do u turn it clockwise?
or anti-clockwise?

'White-metal' is an alloy of usually led and tin mixed together. Alluminium would be much stronger and lighter, even though it is hard to work with, it would be worth it.. Just the molds are the problem, ill solve it though[
