quote:Originally posted by netsmithUKFirst time I played wipeout on it, it made feel disorientated? Hard to explain, but when its in you hands all you seen is the wide screen and it just made me feel a bit 'odd' seeing all this 3d stuff happen in front of me, but you can't see a device... like i said hard to explain. id="quote">id="quote">i found it the same playing, a very odd feeling to get your head around [8D] -

I hate to say it but i am very fussy when it comes to parts[:I]
-
Cheers dave, its not extremely complicated, but from my experience of milling i thought it was the kind of thing to be done on CNC.

i played one there about a month ago, found it very strange, excellent screen quality though. -
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but anyway. I am looking for a machinist or person who works with CNC equipment who would be willing to make a gearbox for me(without it costing me an arm and a leg). I had a machinist lined up but he has decided to go back to college in germany and says he probably wont be able to do it[]. I have detailed CAD drawings ready but no machinist. Cant complete a project without this part and is too far gone to scrap all of a sudden. If anyone is interested in helping me out, please e-mail me Thanks Matt

well done to him, it was only a matter of time
-
Purple parts just look awkward and wrong(well atleast to me) and takes an acquired taste to like [], not that theres is anything wrong with the colour, it's just......

First decide are you building from scratch or heavily modding a donor car

the lancia was a '58' model and was limited edition, i would say they were hoping to get rid of the stock then. i think this is tamiya's plan to tap into another popular market and get rid of more old stock. despite this i will probably find myself buying one to accompany the lancia on the shelf[]

[], i want one of them, they put my sandrail project to same(going on 1 year now[V])
-
no problem[:I], happy to insight annoyance any time.

Any one checked this out yet, it was in the back of RC Driver months ago but i never got around to checking it out until last night,Its a very catchy tune for a song with a total of seven different words(cant get it out of my head)[] Check it out at: www.Badgerbadgerbadger.com Tell me what you think

nice find, best i have done is got a free NIB mardave cobra, nothin tamiya though caus it wasn't ever sold in ireland[!](well atleast properly)
-
[],gotta love that body
-
Well i am just about to start racing a Mini-Z, Got one yesterday after my boss got 6(all gone now) into the shop to see how they would sell aswell as the special Mini-Z track on friday, He set up the track and managed to sell 4 the same day as they arrived in(because of the track) and i sold 2 yesterday,and another two two have been ordered in(the things are selling like hotcakes) so there will be racing in the shop on wensday night. Have already ordered a new body and upgrade parts, another thing to stop me from ever saving money[!]

I'm with gozone on the schemes, the nato tank is a bit bright, but still cool. -
[], cheers

Anymore more shots of the lancia 037[], gorgeous car, closest i've got so far is the kit[]

quote:mat,while that is quite possible,it is not always the case,simply raising the idle screw opening on an engine that is too lean or too rich wont help,if you read his question the engine cuts at high rpm also,which is a sign of too lean a mixture or a fuel blockage.dave id="quote">id="quote">I was covering the cutting out at low rpm bit as you did covered the dying at high rpm, i have to tune engines all the time for customers so i know what you are saying, it is most definately too lean, but you already said that so whats the point in repeating.
-
your idle speed is too low, thats why it is cutting out when you reduce throttle. when you reduce the throttle the carb is closing too much and cant get any air. when you look into the carb you should see about a 1mm opening when you have the throttle fully closed, if its less than that you need to turn the idle screw in(clockwise) 1/8 of a turn or until you have an opening of (about) 1mm or more but not much more than this . Hope this makes sense[?]

Those heli's are useless, We sold them in the shop but stopped because they broke so easily, especially the tail motor. you should bring it back to where you got it from and get them to sort it for you. My recomendation for electric heli's is the hirobo XRB[], i love 'em they give no trouble at all, very steady to fly[8D].
