Something Special
 
I've got something special coming that I've just ordered, hopefully I'll get it in time for my first race of the season on the 28th.

Wait and see, though this will be my picture log.

Marvin 10-03-2010 02:42 PM

KMRC, just outside Maidstone, Kent.

Prolly one of the most anti-climactic threads ever so far :rolleyes:


(internet didn't use to be like this when people didn't have post counts next to their names...)

What do I need to increase my post count for? There isn't some reward system in place.

I was hoping to get some friendly guessing in, as a discussion thread, before I post the results, but apparantly this place is for deadly serious topics only.

well its gonna be 8th electric umm a custom chasis? maybe a xray? saddle mounted cells running 6cell?

johnnygibbon 15-03-2010 06:40 PM

cockwork
 
sounds like a WIND UP car to me powered by COCKWORK:p

Beanie 15-03-2010 07:23 PM

I reckon a HB Ve8

and Marvin I agree, some right pessimistic buggers about, it might be Monday but cheer up you cynics!!:p

pro4nut 15-03-2010 08:14 PM

A ve8 with shiney ally chassis?

Marvin 15-03-2010 09:05 PM

That's more like it!

There will be a Ve8 aluminium chassis conversion coming out from RC-Monster at some point, that also allows easy use of their slipperential. That's not it though. I would like a look at that when it's released, to go on my Ve8.

I've had an 808 already, and fancied something a bit different this time around - they are too good (and therefore boring), so it's not that.

Closer with your last guess Battle_axe.

Unfortunately it's not a wind up car powered by cockwork, but that would be pretty cool. Just hope there are no sharp edges!

lgbzone 15-03-2010 09:11 PM

A polka dot dress?
:thumbsup:

Rcrcrus 15-03-2010 09:31 PM

I know what it is. it's a ve8 with wings so you can fly around the track. Or you are going say somthing silly like the earth is round.:woot:

Battle_axe 15-03-2010 09:47 PM

your converting the ansmann vapor :P

Marvin 15-03-2010 09:58 PM

Erm, definately not.

Actually, the Earth is spherical...

It's not that different!

And, no, I'm not converting an Ansmann Vapor...

Beanie 16-03-2010 06:31 PM

Yep a BL conversion of the 1/8 TRF buggy or truggy I reckon!

Marvin 16-03-2010 07:27 PM

No, not quite, it's actually an oblate spheroid i.e. it's kind of compressed from north and south, and bulges at the equator, due to the rotation of the earth.


You learn something new everyday!

DaveG28 06-04-2010 06:14 PM

If it's a Tamiya buggy can you do one for me??

Had no luck finding any for them, and Tekno seem to have shelved their plan for one too..
