Either way mate a box is a box to me at the moment, I guess you'll have to wait and see what the prices come back like before committing to a design.


Re-seating the idlers in their bosses, is that the old superglue trick?, I haven't tried it myself as mine are oval so was doubtful it would work. What do you reckon?. Also what do you class as round the corner?, just previously fabs hoped for before the first round of the uk national, and we all know what round it is now.

Either way I'm glad I can see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, can't wait to run it again.:thumbsup:

Yes the superglue trick.. as i had my gearbox apart i thought i may as well do it... Idler shafts are a real tight fit and once put back together it was really free :thumbsup:

Round the corner... as in ive seen a pic of the nearly finished gearboxes in production! They are looking very nice..

Are you at the Oz National this weekend?? fI so come over and say hello, whats your name by the way?

:thumbsup:

Praying
 

Round the corner from me is a road..... a long road......so I hope Fabs lives in a cul de sac, or a close...:D

Do you know if he has changed plastics or modded the formula at all, to cut out the over heatin issues?

well!

we're few guys who like to see pics too!
unfortunetly it's seem to be not important that we saw this. or to know others details like "when", "how much" and "how many".

so, i've just called the 'factory' : the boss calculate prices on monday morning...
other news :
a french owner is making CAO (cao in french, in english i'm not sure. it mean "computing draw conception") plans.
so it's able that we'll paid only for the material & CNC machining. if it's working, it will deacrease the final price of course.

bye!

p.s :
vids about one of the equipement they're using in this 'factory' (3D "prototyping") :

My name is Andy Rochell, I was at southport last weekend with you guys trying to get a set up, finished 6th in the 4wd A final i think, (slept since then). Unfortunatley not doing the nationals this year hoping for next year though.

Good news le sam keep the updates coming :thumbsup:

I was running both classes at Southport..You should have come over and said hello!!

The gearboxes wont be long, and the material is good! ;) so wait before u spend your money doing your own..as ive said they are being made by well renound manuacfacturer!

:thumbsup:

o
 

"material is good!". So he has changed the materal then:thumbsup:

hi!

new episode of "lost in transmission" :D

by my side, no response yet. but i know the're busy (but/and they're not closed in August, good thing for us... but hoppin' that's done before!;) ).
i'll call back tomorrow in the morning.
i continue till no "real" alternative.
perhaps Fabs will do it faster and better (and cheaper). it will be great.
but can't wait anymore (without doing anything) for something 'buyable' if no "official" news, a date, a price, some pics, etc...

bye!

p.s : 10 boxes expected

Viva la sam:thumbsup:

le_sam - let me know if you need any help translating into English pal.

(appel-moi si tu as besoin de quelqu'un qui peu traduire a Anglais mon pot)

Better that your customers get a correct message.

(mieux vaut les clients reçoivent un message clair)

No worries (de rien).

Andy G.

:thumbsup:

zeng!

thank you, it could be better:D
frenchies are like Andy...Cap, lol!:lol:
just one thing : no customers for me, only "car's friends". no profit except running:thumbsup:

bye!

samuel

je ne cherche pas un profit. Je n'ai meme pas un MCS.

Je ne veux que t'aider.

bisous. xx

Good news le sam, just a little unsure about the final predicted price?, any chance of a translation Andy?:D

yes, yes, no problemo!
i agree!:thumbsup:

53,50€ at the first 'factory'
but i'll try 2 others which are rc specialized (they can be cheaper)
soon back...

SO!....


you can try to translate in english, then i do my own one :bored: (work 4 U AndyG;))

"j'ai contacté les deux entreprises :
l'une n'a pas la possibilité de le faire.
l'autre peut, j'attends sont devis.
demain soir je vais chez un ami qui dispose d'Autocad, voir même d'un logiciel permettant de créer directement le programme pour la machine numérique! ça serait de l'argent de gagné pour nous!
je continue à vous tenir au courant , où que cela nous mène! :D"

'i've contacted both firms :
one can't do this.
the other can, i'm waiting for the cost estimation.
tomorrow evening i go to a friend who has Autocad and a softwear allowed to create CNC programs! it could be interesting for the final cost!
I continue keeping posted you, wherever it leads us! :D

bye!

Thanks for the update le sam :thumbsup:

Nothing wrong with that translation le_sam !!

Chapeau !

well, well, well...

"lundi j'appelle une dernière entreprise dont j'attends toujours le devis, la personne habilitée était absente pour cause familiale...
