okay have to do a bit of catch up here from the end of the evening...

web cam would be cool, with live video and q&a sesions..:)

here is with the drive train installed, to the axels, everthything rotating freely no bind..

the shoe fit in the second gear houseing with visable space between the metal rim of the or the housing and shoes, and when I turn the shoes something keeps grabing, and I dont know what it is, I didnt want to finish the assemble and it not supposed to be that way, any suggestions

here is the side view showing the belt tensioner and general drive

here we are in the money part of the machine.. notice the sighned part on the head.....

make sure the grubs are not sticking up in the two speed shoe, and then file off any burr that may be there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think anybody would manage to bring the Shark pipe back to life in the freezer if ever your Shark pipe is badly dented. Of course, that would be one hell of a dent ! That's because the material is very hard to undent any dents by water to begin with...

car is looking like something.. starting to hsow sighns of sleep deprivation.. been looking for my hudy allen wrench for 15 minutes and it is in front of me.....

:eek: I'm very sure you'll be happy with the engine ! :nod: :sneaky: :D Where's Fredrik's 710 and engine?:sneaky: :D

Yeap, the Outlaw family :lol:

Hey! Its for the fun of it right?

If you go over and read some of the talk-balk on Peter's article about 1:8th, you'll see one common issue: 1:8th racers are too serious and that's probably why the calss is dying.

p/s: I tend to agree, in KL that scale is an "elite" few. They certainly try hard to encourage new members and I hope the effort continues.

okay here was my end point.. time for bed, but the car looks like something..

notes..
plastic is much different to old serpent parts, lots easier to put screws into, I like the layout... but the diffs are not that easy to get in and out, but easier..

new centax.... looks okay think I will be buying my gears in pairs and keeping them screweed together..

now back to building..:)

Argh ... don't give up now! you're making quick progress there :D

Now, if you have a webcam and linked to some robots, we'd be more than happy to help you build it :lol:

What Andrew mentioned is correct.

I would like to add that I thought I had the same problem. I think it's due to the burrs in the shoe. It was slightly grabbing the 2nd speed spur housing btu I continued to install and set as per the manual. After running the car, the grabbing is no more.

the max was okay... I was not pleased with it so I changed some inside stuff and redid it in something more to my liking...

fredrick wants to build his own, thank god.... so it is patiently waiting for him to get off the beach and come home...

For fun? Nothing's for fun ! muahahahah :lol: :lol: :lol:

On a side note, they are having a race at TT on January 1st with a slightly different layout.

Not pleased with it?:confused: :flaming: It has gobs of power untouched ! :D

Be careful though. I mentioned to Fredrik that most mod engines have very lousy fuel economy but factory mod engines like the NovaMax has a pretty efficient fuel consumption.

Beach?:lol: No wonder he's not around ! :D
