you can get either apparntly electric is better cos for drifting it gets quite hot and not enough air flow to coool a nitro motor.

ah yeah, more than I'd wanna spend on something I'm not really into and would no doubt be over pretty quickly haha.

I bought a nitro car off a mate years ago coz he was selling it cheap, more hassle than it was worth at the end of the day...Took it to the hobby joint near all green once too

I use to get my hobby supplies from there when I use to live in Point Cook.

Quite a good store.

Yeah, mine and Alex's Tamiya R/C Car is the Expert Built (XB) model and is electric.

Everything is pre made / assembled + remote.

I bought a battery as well.

It cost $450 for the R/C car but I bought that in the City, which they fully rip you off.

The hobby store in Box Hill was selling it for $350, same package set up too.

Yeah I got over it a bit, but now I should really get back into it, just kept putting it off.

Gotta friend in my area who got a R/C Car too and hopefully head down the track soon.

It's all money at the end of the day, Body Shells can cost $50 - $70 then you got to paint it ($10 - $12 a can of paint).

Buy a set of decent wheels to suite you look (If you want) Wheels come in a pair = 1 set = $15 - $17

Since you need 4 wheels you need to buy 2 sets = ($30 - $34)

Then you need to buy the tyres, so I just went the cheaper tyres = $27 - $30 a set of 4 tyres.

You can easily spend up to $117 - $146 each time you want to do up a R/C Car.

Also depending on how many colours you want to paint it or you can save on wheels and tyres.

Yep, that's the place, the Hobby store next to Melb Central carpark.

Yeah, I just have a lot of ideas when it comes to R/C Cars, that's why I wanted all those body shells and wheels :thumbsup:

Mix it up a bit I guess.

http://www.genkidoridori.com/ - These guys are fucking mad!

http://www.hpiracing.com/drift/ - These guys make some decent accessories but the body shells are kinda shit.

Their wheels are great + their "Bling Kits" which come with exhaust muffler / intercooler / mirrors are great.

I dunno what it is, but Cadbury milk choc gives me a very slight allergic reaction. Nestle, lindt etc are all fine, just cadbury, and only their milk choc, their white, mixed and dark is fine.

haha thats interesting, ill run it past the sensory team at work tomorrow and see what they say. Cadbury produces a range of different types of chocolate recipes. Picnic uses a different chocolate recipe to the blocks and Cherry Ripe has dark chocolate. Do you get any reaction to these chocolate bars?

How did you win 10kg of chocolate?

some marketing internal competition. Had to spread the word about the new fairtrade chocolate etc.

no just the milk bar blocks, and only if I have large quantities of it (like half a block). I'm OK with small pieces. I have tonnes of Picnic (my fav Cadbury) and I get nothing. Also one of the ladies who works with me, her husband works as a manager at the Cadbury factory.

lol @ legit peeps losing shit when updating... lots of people I spoke to are getting this. Just restored all my settings docs music etc to my phone after jailbreaking iOS4. Anyone with a jailbroken phone backs up before updating as a force of habit :D

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
