Northy 28-02-2008 10:18 PM

I know It's free in my bank. But then again I'm in "ING / Belgium"

You should check with your bank tho cause last time I sent 135£ to the UK I didn't have to pay any charges at all .

:(In that case the woman in our local Lloyds TSB has fitted me up, I can't double check until Monday as it won't show on our account until the 1st of the next month, i.e. Saturday, but Monday is the next working day. I'll let you know.:)

bigred5765 28-02-2008 11:26 PM

More Questions sorry:

What size diff balls does it take, and are they standard steel?

If I can get some hardened or carbide ones I'l put them in from the start, I hate doing rebuilds!

Dave

Lee 29-02-2008 11:16 AM

Dave, sorry it doesnt say in the manual what size the balls are or if they are a carbide ball:confused:


The manual isnt great if you havent built cars before, but if you know your stuff you will be fine;)

DaveG28 29-02-2008 12:49 PM

Hopefully I'll get through it ok, I have built a fair few but I normally do Tamiya who's instructions are very good!!

Hmm, wonder how to measure ball size, I could try and trap one in some calipers but it might ping anywhere!

Garry Driffill 29-02-2008 01:09 PM

you recon its possible to put an order in today ?

and them have a kit ready to send out ?

Hairy Spider 29-02-2008 01:12 PM

I've sent money to Germany (from the UK/HSBC bank) for ebay purchases a few times and its cost about £20 each a pop for the basic 5 day transfer. You can pay more to get it there quicker.

Jon.

Lee 29-02-2008 01:14 PM

Garry, im not sure how many kits the race place are getting, i would imagine it will be some of the initial 30 that were ready. Worth a try though, they are the sex!!

Im actually making up some rear toe in blocks as we speak but i know aero will have some in the coming weeks

Dave, i think the aero uses the same balls as the bj4/s4 so i would imagine they would be the same size, but couldnt be 100% certain, it just looks familiar.;)

Kecky 02-03-2008 08:56 AM

Looks very nice and original :)

Did you design the rear yellow end of the shell, for use with yellow wheels Lee??? :p

Lee 02-03-2008 09:46 AM

No the Aero is definatley straight.

The body is like a sausage on steroids!!:lol:

Kecky 02-03-2008 09:50 AM

:lol: Yer the photo probably doesn't do it justice, as it's probably a lot thinner than it looks :thumbsup:

Lee 02-03-2008 10:11 AM

It is silly thin, it looks like a normal body but with no side pods:o

stegger 02-03-2008 11:23 AM

NICE DESIGN THAT FELLA:thumbsup:

bigred5765 02-03-2008 08:38 PM

super thin

stegger 03-03-2008 08:11 PM

stegger 03-03-2008 08:44 PM

Garry Driffill 03-03-2008 08:55 PM

That paint job looks ace, loving the black at the back of the car :woot:

Lee 04-03-2008 12:20 PM

Here is my aero all mounted and a few stickers.

http://www.hobbytec.co.uk/mkportal/m...album/a_37.jpg

http://www.hobbytec.co.uk/mkportal/m...album/a_38.jpg

Now a question where do i put the PT?

http://www.hobbytec.co.uk/mkportal/m...album/a_39.jpg

I thought on the battery straps but the lead may catch on the spur at some point, i also thought about mounting it on velcro on the inside of the shell but im not sure if it sits above the speedo it could cause interference or loose its signal??

Kecky 04-03-2008 12:46 PM

It's a bit tight for space isn't it :D

Could you not stick it on the battery strap, and hot glue the wire along the inside edge of the chassis, to keep the lead away from the spur gear, or cable tie the wire to the bottom edge of the aluminium spur gear mount;)

And you deffo need to change the white wheels to yellow to set that shell off :thumbsup:

bigred5765 04-03-2008 12:57 PM

stand it in the gap between the Rx and the Ariel mount
double side it to the rx

KevLee 04-03-2008 01:00 PM

Lee, i have fitted mine infront of the receiver. I just had to take a small amount of the forward corners of the PT to get it in the webbing of the chassis. Not sure what receiver you have in there though, mines the little spektrum one.

Lee 04-03-2008 01:00 PM

Kecky, No space for the wire to go down the side of the motor and its not long enough to go the other way:confused:

I also want to be able to use this PT in the 2wd;)

Ill have a look kev and see how tight it is, i have the KO302f

Wraggy 04-03-2008 01:03 PM

Does'nt the Aero come with a Crow Bar to help you get everthing in ?? :p

Northy 04-03-2008 01:03 PM

Get an MRT clone Mr. Made-O-Money :thumbsup:

On the backside of the rear tower works just fine! (vertical) If the wires are too short it's very easy to open it and solder on some longer ones.

Fasten it with double-sided velcro and it's easy to move to another car.

Very nice paintjob! Car looks awesome!!!

Nick Goodall 04-03-2008 01:28 PM

Have they designed their own shocks? Car looks cool by the way - nice to see some others out there now :-)

Lee 04-03-2008 01:29 PM

Yes they have Nick, they are similar to the losi cartridge design.

Kecky 04-03-2008 01:31 PM

Lee, it's a bit hard to see the motor side of the chassis, bit will the wire fit under the motor between it's curve, and the squared off inside corner of the chassis, or will it run too close the the pinion:confused:

Must admit, i prefer the transponder as far forward as poosible, just incase of a photo finish :woot:

Lee 04-03-2008 01:44 PM

It would fit in the space left where the motor curves but its the motor mount which sits flush against the side of the chassis that stops me doing it, otherwise it would be ideal
;)

Northy 04-03-2008 01:53 PM

Nice sticker. :thumbsup:

Does it own toe-in yet? :confused:

G

Lee 04-03-2008 02:00 PM

oh yes 2.934587639 degrees (approximatley):p
