SOME MORE TESTING VIDEOS 21-05-09 so hello all i managed to get out with this baby again today for a few hours this evening after work,evening was nice between the showers lol .........damm i love this onroad,some sweet ass out action..... i made some adjustments lastnight to brakes/shocks/tyres and was eager to see the performance....... i didnt use any cones today to mark a track as i was all out for high speed runs for this testing,and i must say very happy with the results as you will see in the videos ) first video is with shell removed and i left out the music this time (FOR WAQR) cheers lol now im well impressed with the speed/power of this,i also want to point out like i said i used an 18tooth pinion for the layshaft and it was very heavy and wide so i machined it down for a lower rotational mass,and my god does it make a differnce... regards lads,enjoy dc2 man vid 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ohcoShT_1A vid 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZglJ6PlHRQ vid 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuX2M5aL3O0 vid 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Enk4uOsuZs

waqr -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/22/2009 2:30 PM)
Awesome videos dc2man, thumbs up :) That engine is really a high reving piece. Is it a 23 or 26cc? Do you know what needle settings you have (High and low) on your carburator. It would be very interesting to know. I compared you BMW body when it was new to how it looks now and I think that your BMW body looks even nicer when it is a bit worn. Looks great man [;)] Keep your videos coming man :)

dc2 man -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/22/2009 9:57 PM)
thanks waqr for the compliments,more vids from today coming soon lol i have a second new body the same for display lol this body is rough from usage lol cant get enough of this machine......) i use stock factory needle settings 1 3/4 high and 1/1/2 low speed,the richer the better i think,this talk about leaning engine to get more power is only crap.....i have driven this car to the limit from within an inch of its life and as the engine gets hotter from running power drops slightly but it wont it needles are right rich settings (well factory settings) people tune the needles with an already full engine sometimes and thats fine untill that motor has a half hour of flat out running done then they start to run lean.......so the needles must be factory settings in my opinion for best results!! i dont lean to get power i richen...believe it or not. and i run 150mill oil to 5 liters. i went off today again for some more videos all i can say is WOW.......this thing is mental......great value with the upgrades i m100percent happy with it,i would buy another 5 tomorrow lol watch the next videos for some great SLIDING AND OPPOSITE LOCK..... some great ass out fun.... ) my car is so strong now that my old dog bone at one side gave up(luckky i hada spare) the drivetrain is so tough that this broke first lol so some pictures first of the weakest link lol (snapped dog bone) only weekness in my drivetrain to date....apart from plastic clutch pinion which i upgraded from new. PICTURES.. first before i upload vids.

mcspanners -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/23/2009 3:23 AM)
Hi dc2 man, looks like your having a great time with your car!, i haven't been able to get mine out (weather is shocking ) will get a vid when i can. here's one i got about a month ago. http://s705.photobucket.com/albums/ww59/MCSpanners/?action=view¤t=MOV00566.flv&newest=1

dc2 man -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/23/2009 9:57 AM)
man that looks awesome....... next time i get out with it i will just put on the new body shell just to show it to you,i wont run car with it because it scuffes it up fast with the fumes....... what size engine is in that same as mine 26cc zenoah? sounds ported.......... man it is quick...........

mcspanners -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/23/2009 10:42 AM)
yeah thanks man, its a G230 zen, not too sure whats been done to it, i guess its been ported as the guy i bought it from raced it in sydney, but yeah, damn its quick! its got a samba 5 pipe so that definately makes it rock! the tyres that i had on in the vid were really worn, so was a bit of a handful, but have now got some new pmt tyres on, running 15s on rear and 30s up front. really looks like your car is flying, and handling well too. do you have more parts on the way ? or is hobbythek out of stock ? lol, you are really chewing through your tyres lol, but good to see your getting lots of use and having heaps of fun with your car.

dc2 man -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/23/2009 9:23 PM)
hey mc spanners thanks man yeah the car is going really well. i have a few little problems alright now like ages ago i tipped the kirb slightly and i think my rear shock got a little damaged so i need to place an order for a new shock,the car is driving perfect but im just a bit of a perfectionist anyway lol.... also as you can see from the pictures i run this car extremly hard.....and i snapped a dog bone driveshaft yesterday (lucky i had spares) you can imagine how tough my drivetrain is set up once you see the driveshaft snapped first lol but i had to replace that with a longer fg one,but now the camber/caster is out slightly so i need to order one of those also.. i ran the car again just now for three tanks,perfect even though these adjustments need to be made. i have decided that i am going to alloy up the rear end and front very soon,im going to make it a comp model.......i am going to use the carson alloy gearplate which is same design as stock so i can keep my layshaft brake which is excellent on this model........ what body have you on your car,its class......man you do mind it,very clean looking.....thats a sweet machine...........

steven brown -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/23/2009 10:45 PM)
dan mate thats one very fast car mate . some sweet driveing aswel . i put a wee vid up on my link off my m,ate,ms truck doing a few donuts with my wee lad chaseing it lol

mcspanners -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/24/2009 12:31 AM)
Hi dc2 man, cool i can't wait to see the comp version your gonna make, are you doing a full conversion ? do fg comp parts fit ?. the body on my car is the BMW 320 same as yours except i think its a harm body, with a carbon wing. the weather is bad here again, just won't stop raining, so no racing today.

dc2 man -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/24/2009 12:52 AM)

dc2 man -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/24/2009 4:08 PM)
cool let me know how things goes. i can offer you a second hand spur gear for that model and a steel clutch pinion 19tooth if you want them,stock clutch is 23tooth but this would work away the finest,would give you awesome acceleration with slightly less top speed........... i could ship them to you ....... pm me if intrested.

dc2 man -> RE: FG COMPETITION LINE TO EVO 09 SPEC (5/24/2009 10:21 PM)
