Man that track looks cool!:nod: I've got a couple of old Kyosho Mini-Z's, MR01 I think. Just have to find some batteries and the 27mhz transmitters for them and hopefully they will work! Can I race with you guys? -don't have a transponder for them. What do you recommend in terms of batteries, chargers etc for the race night?
Cheers,
Ed

:nod:everyone's welcome, so see you on Friday.:)

as for batteries. Locally you can't go pass Powertech 900mah from Jaycar. a 4 pack AAA sells for $11.00 and atleast 3 sets and your sorted. Also get the 4 X AAA charge rack from Jaycar as well for a few bucks to make it easier to charge 4 x AAA's at a time. Any charger that charges NIMH will do the trick. I'll wire up an cable to take power direct from the battery tabs so the transponder will work for non ICS cars;)

Sweet. Thanks for the info. See you there! These are my cars:

beautiful!!!!~~~~

you should alow foam tires. will improve 100% performance. also will not damage the track.

[QUOTE=darkotan;11171255]Standard kyosho threaded rubber was good enough I did the fastest lap 4.9 with a mr02 borrowed from carlos.......

Are those cars heavily modified? They look fast!

PN Racing 70turn stock motor. Runs on bushings and cost $10:nod:

[QUOTE=TRF4evr;11175140]try our foam tires. and you will never go back to kyosho tires.

[QUOTE=darkotan;11175507]Yes Darko's Foam tires are really good... I have many sets for my track at home, I dont have any rubbers because the car i bought off ebay had only drift wheels! :lol::lol::lol:

What compound rubber did you find works the best on that surface?

I will come play on friday night... mini-z fits in a back pack and i only have Motorbike at the moment! ;)

Dan... can you please organise me a transponder?
