buy a dremel and cut everything in range of the powercord's legnth or buy a cordless dremel and go flipin nuts

i love my dremel i wish i got paid to do nothing oh ya C_CRX you need to put some games onto your laptop or invest in a gameboy or something. does the room you are at have cable? if so take your modem

nrmcj · #**348** 01-27-2003, 11:55 PM

hehe, ralliart maybe lower it, or do some cosmetic stuff to it =) i colored my intercooler red... it looks anodized and matches with my windows

heh, C_CRX, drop by WEM 2morro or something! lol, i be there for a few hours 2morro.. after math exam.. gonna go look for kit racers!

Pie- Can't go to WEM, have to sort of drive west of Edmonton and stay near location (about an hour west of Edmonton). Maybe next time..

dabigpig- Already have games on the lappy! Older games since it's a slower system but they'll keep me occupied, along with cable TV (can't take my modem or the rest of my household will kill me). I've also thought of taking my dated GameBoy Color with me (really want to get one of those new GameBoy Advance SP's when they come out, for my collection). I'm thinking I can just sleep in everyday and catch up on my sleep. I just hope I get my own room this time!

ralliart- crazy money for doing not much, that's the oil business for you! When I'm actually in the FIELD (on an oil rig) they actually pay me to stand around and watch other people work.. All I do is stand around and make sure they are 'safe'. I also get paid more than most of the people actually working, and some of them have been doing it for 10+ years and I only have ~6months under my belt. Sweet or what?

Anyways, I'll talk to you all soon!

somehow i can picture you playing Duke Nukem at 3am on your laptop watching some old rerun of benny hill and the neibors are banging on the wall telling you to be quiet as the pizza delivery guy comes to the door

but thats just my imagination LOL

ralliart · #**351** 01-28-2003, 08:17 PM

haha nice image pig.
oh btw, how do u lower your car?
and what would you do in order to paint your body?
1) get paint off with thinner then prime then paint..OR
2) leave original paint on and just prime, then paint?

would it look better if i did #1? or would the results be the same?

thx

good news, and bad news...

1. bad news. k, dieselboy.. i looked in the fone book last night for a couple hours... and still cant find that battery place... i called radio shack to ask, but they didnt have it... im gonna try again 2day, maybe i missed their add in the yellow pages or something..

2. Good News!! kit racer motors kick some serious ass... i got the 2.6 yesterday (10 bucks, good deal at zellers) with the RPM set... it completely eats the tomy 2.6 alive, both in torque and top speed, and against the 3.0, the top speed is comparable.. but with teal gears, the KIT 2.6 hits top end in about 1.5 feet, whereas the 3.0 takes about 6.. the 3.0 will go slightly faster, but it doesnt matter, considering the 2.6 is already ahead by so much...

also, light blue gears and the 2.6 pulls a short wheelie (single cell) on my friend's pool table

talk about torque.... this thing's a monster! aaaanndd... i just took a look at the charger for the kit racer... 1rst, the chassis is a good cycler/warmer-upper for motors, (hehe) and the charging station May be able to be modded to fit a bit.. but in short, go get that RPM or MPH KIT racer! the motor's the best damn thing next to a 3.5 bitmod or the r-spec...

3. for Swavey

: i was just wondering... are there any hop up motors in japan? im thinking, cuz the scene there is so much bigger, they should have some high quality, fast motors kicking aroudn right? (like, on par with the 3.5 or r-specs) do you think you could bring a couple back along with the auto modellista set and the supra for me? (i checked comex hobby yesterday, freakin $80 and $60) oh, and my friend also wants a bit if it's not too much trouble.. he's willing to wait for the great price

, but i'll see exactly which one he wants... thx again!!

4. ralliart- you can lower by cementing or super glueing new tabs (use your old school ID card if it's thick enuf, or unused credit cards) to the bottom of the front tab, and then sanding/dremmeling the top down until you get the the desired height... i havent tried it yet, but my friend has some model cement, so im gonna be dropping it in the next few days or so hopefully.. heh good luck =)

strip, prime, use model paint, then clearcoats!! a good paint job is hard tho... im not sure how to do one =\

ralliart · #**353** 01-29-2003, 04:48 PM

Pie, that is awesome....i want to get kit racers!!!!! which zellers did u go to? Oh and what do you mean by 'strip'? then prime...

Swavey · #**355** 01-29-2003, 07:53 PM

Wow, long time no post!

Haha, sorry about the long period of absence everybody! Been super busy lately, I have to write a speech to present to a japanese group about canadian families (have to say it in japanese) been working on finally getting my website up 100% active, so i can soon post all sorts of **** there, lol Been working on 3D modelling in 3D Studio MAX (still in training, just started) Filling anime drawing demands for my friends back home..........................

I am one busy beaver, lol

Should be all good now for a while though..... I hope.

Anime pic for my friend (very crappy made in like 2 minutes)
First attempt at 3D modeling
My site, not formally up yet, working on glitches

ralliart · #**356** 01-29-2003, 08:46 PM

hey swavey, long time no talk...haha. your website looks pretty cool....and the drawing is very good.

hey swavey, im wondering if you bought the auto moddelista set yet? I have a question about that.

Swavey · #**357** 01-29-2003, 08:52 PM

no i havnt baught it yet. I havnt been able to get to the city for good prices in two weeks, been to busy on the weekends!

sorry cheif, My house is running out of food, so we will be going to the city this weekend.......

ralliart · #**358** 01-29-2003, 08:56 PM

uhh swavey.....can i cancel the set....it seems like i would just like to buy a normal bit char g instead of the auto modellista. Because i have different plans for the bit....and i am just too poor....but can help me get a Mobil 1 NSX racing body for me (if there is any )....that will be sooo sweeet...cause i recently bought the Castol Supra body.

thx swavey

sorry bout the modellista set thingy.

dieselboy · #**359** 01-29-2003, 10:04 PM

ralliart, about lowering: Cutting off the tabs and then regluding them on is a bad idea i think. I lowered my car from the back by cutting new slots for the rear tab to hook into. You don't want to weaken the front at all though becuase at least with my monstor truck and cars it takes the most abuse due to the jumps and walls

I'll pose pics when i can.

Swavey, if you do get a chance look for that plantraco desktop rover. And i do have an extra set of thoes wheels i stole

Also as pie asked, if you have any crazy engines over there please bring us back a couple.

Pie, i got your email and i'll check with that battery place when i get a chance.

C_CRX, i know your stil on work leave but if you do read this i was just wondering if you were still able to get thoes magnets or know a place i might grab some.

Thanks all.

Swavey · #**360** 01-29-2003, 10:45 PM

I will for sure keep my eye out for a desktop rover
(swavey now finds his dictionary and learns what it will say in japanese so i canrecognize it, heh)

and about those wheels, Keep em for me!!
what would the chance of you settin up some axels for me, lol as i wont be home for a while, and cant build one here.........

anyways. Pie, yeah that should be no problem, ill look for that other one you want

(swaveys head begins to pulse)
I fear it will pop, lol, i got so much goin on lately....... But its fun!
